*clap clap clap* Well done Bores, after months of downvotes and people yelling that they're sick of this crap and nobody watching the videos, you actually listened to the fans. You made a separate Skylanders channel where all your stupid Skylanders videos will go and not bother the few fans you have left.
All his Skylanders stuff has been moved to "TheSkylanderC" (I would have gone with "IGSkylanders" but apparently I don't know anything) and will not be covered on this blog because fuck that noise.
Though I will say his banner is just awful. It's a picture of him holding up a couple figures while he makes this really horrid face. What expression is that even supposed to be?
Still, good job Bores, you actually made a little bit of progress towards professionalism. Does this mean the subscribers will come back to his channel? Pahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha. Yeah, I don't see much change happening, just that there won't be any Skylanders videos. If anything, there will be even longer breaks between videos since Bores won't post a filler Skylanders video to "make up" for the lack of content.
And before you say it, I don't think this is an April Fool's prank.

I'm surprised that Chris Bores managed to do anything at all. I mean he sprains his arm while buttering toast. I don't even want to think about how many bones he broke trying to make a new account.
ReplyDeleteSo, Mr. Kill Ultra...I literally just realized what your screenname is a reference to.
DeleteReally? I actually thought it was an over the top name. What did you think it means?
Delete@Random Man
DeleteYou gonna tell me or what?
MK Ultra, a series of experiments where the US Government forcibly tested LSD on civilians.
DeleteYeah not a reference to that. Sorry. Besides, no one's Mister prefix becomes apart of their initials (i.e Mister Winston sal stone is W.S.S not M.W.S.S).
DeleteMy screen name is more or less a reference to the AVGN episode 'frankenstein' in which AVGN lists the bland names that generic evil villains can have. I found it funny and went nuts with it.
,,,Huh. Thought you were a Game Theory fan, since that's where I first heard about MK Ultra. Though, if you wanna sound clever, you can TELL people it's a reference to that!
DeleteWhile I do like Game Theory, I've been around way before Game Theory existed!
DeleteAs for pretending its a reference, I'd rather not. MK Ultra was a totally abusive and disgusting use of resources that essentially fuels the Anti-US sentiment today. Heck one of the government operations created a university bomber! Essentially what happened was the government gave its money to jackass corrupt Amoral University professors and let them just do whatever the fuck they wanted to the U.S public.And for what? To combat the soviets? It was so easy to spy on the Soviet republic that most spies were bored and had to "make up" stories to make their job feel worthwhile.
Naming myself after a project that was about kidnapping people and experimenting in an attempt to find humor or be cool would be something I'm very much against.
It would also make me a target of the Anti-US crowd and considering how rabid and stupid people are when it comes to politics (on average) I'd rather not deal with the truthers or any other group I'm not aware of with U.S as their target and not enough IQ points to express their opinions properly.
TL:DR It sounds like a cool Idea to pretend to be based on a cool sounding project but connotations would be terrible. It's like naming yourself after a serial killer, no one's laughing except the people who don't understand to being with.
All very good points. Not really sure what I was thinking there.
DeleteAs much as it's the "right" thing to do to appease his fans. I think that it's a little late in the day for him to make a new channel.
ReplyDeleteIt's like those people that make a separate "Let's Play" channel to avoid cluttering their main channel, barely anyone will move over and watch them there, let alone sub to it.
I did want to do that myself a few years ago, but my network manager said it was pointless as YouTube works on analytics, so an older channel with a lot of subscribers and a lot of previous views will go up higher on the main page, than a new one with no subs/views.
So as much as it pissed off the fans, he would get far better views placing them on the main channel still.
the only people who sitll praise him r his little 10 yr old whiners who dont know what true gaming is
ReplyDeleteFascinating. The one day out of the year that he does something right...
ReplyDeleteI hope this is a beginning to something special. like seriously if he keeps this up and listens to the fans from now on, we'll be able to tolerate his reviews of video games.
ReplyDeleteDidn't notice a new post was up so I'll just repost this here.

+Nicholas Coleman LOL NO, Who cares what a 57 year old grandma has to tweet about? LOL That's for the younger crowd to participate in. Christopher has a twitter account tho., like most of the younger generation, now days. YouTube is about as computer savy as I get! LOL :D
How in the world does she not notice that she essentially uses youtube as twitter. Here's a tip buggin NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU. While you may have surrounded yourself with yes-men it is very easy to show how hypocritical and idiotic they are.
Eh I just have to say that it's most likely that ladybuggin is a sockpuppet of his.
DeleteWhy Eric Wisesage (can't remember his actual surname) still humours him is beyond me. I guess he's too polite to tell him to fuck off.
DeleteHis name is Eric Allen
Delete@Une Lese
DeleteIt's been confirmed that Buggin and Chris are indeed one and the same. The person who discovered this runs the ironically-named Batdan Sucks blog. Specifically, the entry mentioning a spy ship.
The only yes-man I know who agrees every comment LadyBuggin makes is Jabba D' Hutski/Constantine Chernobyl/Batdanmn (which makes me wonder why the two aren't dating. They will definitely make a good couple. Or should I say sick couple.)
DeleteOne of his videos on the Skylanders Channel is a contest about Skylanders toys from McDonalds. In 2104. Toys of the Future guys.
ReplyDeleteAnd literally EVERY comment is 'Pick Me'. Why they don't just go and buy them upfront is beyond me.
"B-b-but these are SPECHUL Skylanders that the Irate Gamer gave us, that means they're worth something!"
DeletePeople are nuts...
I honestly don't get why they don't go to McDonalds, Happy Meals can't be that expensive.
Hell, one comment said "Please pick me Chris . My son turns 5 soon and loves Skylanders." THEN GO TO MCDONALDS! I swear, common sense is dead.
I'm rather transfixed by the video's title: "Mcdonalds 2014 Skylanders Happy Meal Toys In Hand Preview Review Unboxing." I know, it's to game the search engines, but it looks like he hasn't learned the concept of a sentence yet.
DeleteThe video itself has the extemporaneous mood of a "James & Mike Play" video, but there's no other person there for him to bounce off of and interact with. All we are given to watch is a single adult opening Happy Meal toys. (Maybe you have to be a Skylanders fan)
OH great now I'm confused
Delete"I was able to get my hands on all the 2104 Mcdonalds Swap Force Toys/figures"
So did he get hands on all 2104 toys?
OR did he get his hands on the 2104 year models?
OR did he just fuck up as usual and get his hands on the 2014 list that any dick with 30 bucks could get?
Also 24 hours have passed on his video and he has less than 1000 views.
Can't Bores just sign the toys with his signature? At least there would be some value and a reason to get them.
DeleteBatdan, I can agree with you. Common sense is pretty much dead. not a good sign for America's future.
Delete"B-b-but these are SPECHUL Skylanders that the Irate Gamer gave us, that means they're worth something!"
Delete"Please pick me Chris . My son turns 5 soon and loves Skylanders."
Okay, okay, okay! I'm going to go on and say this: Are these people that comment on Bores' video that fucking stupid? You want a McD's Skylanders toy without losing a contest? Go to McD's and buy one! THEY COST $2!!! They will be gone in 4-5 weeks before Amazing Spider-Man 2 gets the McD's toy deal and when they're gone, THEY'RE GONE!
I mean, I spent $22-$24 buying NFL Rush Zone Rusherz by going to every McD's in my area and if I don't have that figure, I can go on ebay and buy it off for $4 ($2 price, $2 shipping).
From http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/25/mcdonalds-offers-eight-exclusive-skylanders-toys-with-happy-mea/
Delete"Bear in mind, however, that Happy Meals-bundled characters are just toys, and won't summon in-game Skylanders like retail figures will. Still, if you've ever wanted a Chompy figure to display alongside your Skylanders collection, you'll want to hop in your car on Friday and order up some Happy Meals. Hint: tell the drive-thru guy that you have eight kids waiting at home for their dinner if you're trying to order a full set. He might not believe you, but he probably won't feel like you're worth an argument."
So it turns out that these toys do not have in game characters to go with them making them just plain ordinary toys so they aren't even something worth bothering with for any fan of the game unless you are a completionist collector. Given that these are cheap and easy to buy, that means that Ig is just using them as nothing more then a quick sub grab and nothing more.
Any idea that the set won in this contest will be worth anything more then the one you could buy for yourself at any McDonalds is ridiculous!
"Still, if you've ever wanted a Chompy figure to display alongside your Skylanders collection, you'll want to hop in your car on Friday and order up some Happy Meals."
DeleteI don't know if it's all McDonald's or just the ones in my area, but why go on Friday, when you can go on Thursday and get the same thing for $1.50 less?
Presumably a lot of the Pick Me's will be from overseas where McDonald's isn't running the promotion.
DeleteThat's giving the fans of IG way too much credit.

ReplyDeleteJust watched James Rolfe's inside look into his movie. WOW is all I could say. The fact that he put in so much effort is admirable. Insert comment on how Chris Bores' "movie" is awful.
After watching that video, I really do respect James for putting so much effort and the risks and sacrifices he makes along the way. These are the works of a TRUE aspiring filmmaker.
DeleteWhat is this crap?!?
ReplyDeletehttp://theirategamer.com/top-10-missteps-that-almost-ruined-batman-forever/
He links to another site's Batman article, WITHOUT MENTIONING THE NAME OF OTHER SITE, and below that he sort of appears to be offering his comments on it, but "his" comments are mostly copied-and-pasted sentences from the original article.
What in his fractured version of reality does he think he's doing?
I get the feeling that he revamped his website into a "blog-type news site" for ad revenue.
DeleteWhen has bores ever done or said anything that makes sense. He does follow Alex Jones so logic is so far out the window that it is in Europe. Gotta love Jones excuse for the Fort Hood shooting part two. Basically he is blaming antidepressants again. Problem is I myself know that he is making crap up. At one point I was on antidepressants and absolutely nothing happened. Not to mention the worst massacre to happen in United States history was both before antidepressants and didn't involve guns at all.
DeleteI don't get why the hate for Ace the Bathound. Why?
DeleteAce acts just like a dog trained by Batman would. Yes a dog as a crime fighter is silly but still Ace is fun.
As to Batman's first issues being darker - I once owned a collected volume of the first four issues of Batman. One story might indeed be dark, with people dropping like flies before the murderer was brought to justice (i.e. death). The next story might feature the Dynamic Duo fighting 18-th century pirates, a former jock who wants to turn everyone ugly, or a reanimated 12-foot tall caveman. Even the serious stories often had bad puns ("You may be the Joker, but I'm the king of clubs!"). It was actually weirder than if the writer chose to stick to pure camp.
DeleteAlso, the Joker technically died in his *second* appearance. However, since this was in the same issue as his first appearance, I'm probably being pedantic.
Yeah, I seriously doubt Bores writes that article. There's no way he can be intelligent enough to know that Joker died in his first comic appearance or that Alfred Pennyworth was a bungling detective in the early comics.
DeleteIf you look closely, you can see the parts that Chris straight-up lifted from the article. He only does it for a couple of them, but it's very noticeable compared to his usual writing style.
DeleteHow bankrupt for ideas is Chris that this has become a regular thing? That is, taking someone's Top 10 list and adding his thoughts to it. Make your own damn list.
I hate to ask this question but dose he use Microsoft Word or any writing software, in the very first point he has 'in in' and poor grammar again. Which any good software or well basic would say "Yo, you know your messing up here right now, that's what the red lines are for...do us all a favor and fix that before you...oh your going to publish and not bother to fix it, okay then. Moron."
DeleteWouldn't matter since he has shown before that he just ignores that red line. Case in point whatever buggin says.
DeleteEh. fair. I like to think of this as anther lesson in 'What Not To Do As a Game Reviewer'. Which is followed by do not steal any content that dose not belong to you or copy and pasting from an article doesn't mean you are actually making something.
DeleteAm I the only one who finds this line (by Bores) to be hilarious?
Delete"What an baffoon!"
(Found in 4. Aronofsky’s Batman Year One)
Odd that he does this on the one day nobody takes any news seriously.
ReplyDeleteSo I go to look at this new channel, and the guess what other channel comes up with it. Ladybuggin777
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean exactly, does it say the channel is owned by him, or is it just a recommended channel? If it's the former, you should take a screenshot.
DeleteSorry it took me a while to get back to ya about this.
DeleteI put "TheSkylanderC" in the search bar on YouTube, and after clicking that I wanted to look up TheSkylanderC, it has his new channel listed, and then directly under that one Ladybuggin777 is listed as well.
Basically, when I looked up his new channel, Ladybugginn777 also pops up as well.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYou mean like this?
DeleteSorry I had to delete the other one because it had my account name and subscription list in it. (I would rather not be harassed today thank you)
http://1drv.ms/1eoOrre
Chris got pwned by youtube's associative system again. And it looks like there's a third account there too.
In other words, although most of us knew it to be 100% true already, now there's a piece of evidence identifying Bores as Buggin that really can't be ignored... and there's nothing he can do about it? Nice.
DeleteHow long has his "storyline" with the main show been going on now? I watched an old video that basically tore I believe it was his infamous Monster Party episode apart, and in it, it was shown that that MP video came out in 2008. I know it's not easy to exactly keep up, but isn't that the same "storyline" I mean it had the "evil Bores" character with the black long hair wig on that is still in the videos, so I assume it's still the same.
ReplyDeleteI honestly have only very casually followed him for a good 2-3 years, so I'm very out of the loop, but has he honestly had this "storyline" going on over 5 years now?
No, "Monster Party" was not part of the 'overarching' storyline. Actually, his storyline's been going on for FOUR years! :P
DeleteActually, now that I think about it WHEN DID BORES' "MOVIE" START?!? Yeah, the "technical" start was 7-Up, but all that video ever "started" was introducing the Shadow Overlord, and he's not even the main focus anymore! Is "History of Video Games Part II" part of the movie because of the HAL-BOT? Is "Monster Party" part of the movie because that's where it starts showing the Evil Gamer as a threat? For all I know, Bores' entire YouTube channel was just one big "movie" this entire time! I mean, it would make sense, seeing how what we declared as Bores' "movie" was unfocused and confusing enough to begin with. Why NOT add more continuity crushing crap to the pile?
Delete......I used to be a fan.
I "would" have been a fan if Chris Bores actually did something when I asked him to do something about the trolling. Finding out that he was in fact responsible for the trolling was just the icing on the cake.
DeleteThe storyline appears to have started at episode 8 since that was Evil gamer's first appearance and we should note that then entirety of the show's conflict is just evil gamer teaming up with people to get revenge.
DeleteAh, the glory days of Bores. Don't you remember the Evil Gamer's INGENIOUS motivations to turn to the Dark Side?
Delete"One of these days, brother. One of these days, you WILL play a 2-player game with me! Or, so help me, I will BURN THIS WORLD TO THE GROUND!!!"
I may have over-dramaticized it.
I think you came up with a better reason to turn evil then Chris managed to write! I thought Evil gamer just wanted a stupid game review show...
DeleteHere's some bullshit for you.

LMAO I love how they *had* to use touching.

I don't think there's anything funny about the choice of words. It just seems like trying very hard to see innuendo where none exists.
DeleteOT: The Undertaker's undefeated streak came to an end last night at WrestleMania 30 (21-1)....damn.

DeleteOff-topic:
ReplyDeleteWhat did everybody think of the Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct video for today?
I really enjoyed it. Seeing the various stages, character moves, abilities, items, online options, extra modes, and more. It was a real treat!
Not to mention, one of my favorite characters ever since the original Smash Bros. title for the Nintendo 64, Yoshi, finally got confirmed by Sakurai!
1. I hate that Samurai Goroh is still an assist trophy and not a playable character(here's hoping for Krystal).
Delete2. I would've preferred Chesnaught over Greninja, but whatever.
3. I hope Mega Charizard Y is an option as well as X.
4. Little Mac is, most likely, going to be broken.
5. Why is everybody flipping their shit over Yoshi? WE ALL KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE IN THE GAME!
6. The only reason I'm not getting the 3DS version is because of worry for my L and R buttons.
7. Mega Man's final smash is the most glorious thing I've ever seen in Smash Bros.
8. What's the purpose of character customization if you can't take them to the world? It's not like anyone is at a disadvantage.
9. "Which character is this?" It's Paluten--- HOLY SHIT IN A PICNIC BASKET, WHAT'S THAT!?!?
In response to #9, play Kid Icarus Uprising.
DeleteIt's also part of Sakurai's signature trolling since everyone is thinking Palutena is in the game. Just like when he showed Ridley's shadow in the Metroid stage when discussing boss characters
Yeah, I figured that out during the direct.
DeleteA lot of people are bugged by Samus' High Heels - I gotta admit I'm a little bugged too. Samus' gender used to be fairly irrelevant in a sort of refreshing way, but the more time goes on the more it gets high-lighted - and not in a good way.
DeleteShe's been made sexier, over emotional*, and sleeker. Even her armor now a days seems decidedly more feminine**. And now - high heels. Not more sensible boots or shoes - HIGH HEELS.
Nintendo - if you want to have a sexy badass female character - MAKE ONE! This would expand the amount of female characters you have (always a good thing) and the amount of female character types you have (ALSO a good thing).
There is nothing wrong with a sexy female badass character - there is something kinda wrong about feeling the need to change an established character into one because apparently making a new main female character is just SO HARD.
End impassioned rant... (and probably a bit whiny - I really am looking forward to this game - it just seems silly for her to be running around the battle field like that when she's never before...)
*Also I wasn't bugged with Samus having emotions in Other M (I always liked to imagine she had strong but well controlled ones based on Super Metroid) as I think more characters should be allowed to express them, so much as I was with the delivery. They were made a weakness and were poorly written, defined, and made little to no sense.
**Once again: Not on its own terrible - in fact I could chalk it up to art evolution and a desire for people to relate to her femininity, but as I already said - I don't think that's the case***.
***In fact I'd go so far as to say its almost like Nintendo is trying to make Zero Suit Samus some kind of sexy pin-up girl. I'm conflicted because I DON'T wanna accuse them of such a thing. They don't want you to relate to her or feel empowered by her - they want you to look at her boobs and firm ass type thing. But obviously I'm high-lighting a trend - with the high heels being PART of that trend - not the start of it.
Shadow19: Yoshi is also my favorite character, I pick him for all Mario games.
DeleteMcnich your whole argument seems to hinge on the fact that Samus has never been sexualized before Other M. One problem with that point is the ending of the very first Metroid, or should I say endings. In the original Metroid there are five endings the short of it is that the better you do the less Samus ends up wearing until all she has on left is a bikini.
DeleteWhile it is entirely possible to oversexualize characters, I don't understand why so many feminist consider it progressive to portray women as unfeminine as possible.
DeleteI'd say this is a good portrayal of Samus. She's attractive, but nothings overly impractical or slutty about how she's dressed.
http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/gba/d/metzero-54.png
Also, even though I never played "Other M", I do like the look of her in the military uniform. Still attractive, but professional-looking, not exploitive at all (at least visually, from what I hear her personality and emotional presentation was a different story)
DeleteWell the problem people are having involves the zero suit. Of course to show that people who complain seem to lack logic at that point the zero suit is only shown for a cutscene and about 5 minute gameplay segment. Said segment only happens after the credits and what some would consider the final boss. Not necessarily in that order. Not to mention while they are high heels they don't appear to be stilleto heels so they are slightly more sensible than most characters that were heels. That and the fact they are clearly called jet boots means the are actually used for something besides the sex appeal.
DeleteThe Other M........ UGH! The other M essentially made Samus totally incapable of doing anything herself. Adam points a gun at her as if to kill her, she's okay with that and will be happy if he were to kill her for any reason. Ridley shows up for the sixteenth thousandth time? Cue flashbacks where she feels helpless and then sudden transition to present where she acts helpless showing that years of ass kicking were meaningless. Adam won't let you use the suit that keeps you alive in lava areas? Accept it completely, its not like you are an individual or something! Constant whining does not help Samus's portrayal in that terrible game!
DeleteThough the ironic part is that Samus does show independence when Adam "isn't" around. She happily arms several attachments when she needs them as soon as contact is lost with Adam. The end boss of the game requires you to use a move that you were never made aware that it was activated. Its almost as if the writers were trying to make the story one where Samus becomes independent but they forgot that this was set between games (Hanlon's razor considerations not included).
Of course the bigger issue is how one defines masculinity and Femininity. Because popular opinion so far is that Masculinity = Get shit done and Femininity = look pretty. Perhaps when people finally get around to solving this problem by simply concreting these terms so there can be no debate on them then maybe we can stop the unintentional (or intentional) sexism in the media. We must keep in mind that some females like to looks sexy as its a source of self-esteem to argue that a female character should not be portrayed as sexy or with appeal of any kinds is to dictate that due to her gender she is not allowed to do things. Feminism will and always should be about equal rights and the right to do what other people are allowed to do. That said I want to see a flabby male main character go around saving the world in FPS shooter that doesn't make fun of his weight and doesn't involve saving a damsel or the state.
Gosh this rant is long.
I feel like I'm being misunderstood. The argument does NOT hinged on her having never been sexualized - Samus has been sexualized before, but it never over-shadowed her character.
DeleteMy issue was not her having moments of being sexualized or fanservice or even feminine traits being given to her. In fact - at first I liked the fact that they wanted to highlight she was a women more.
It just seems like she's slowly being turned from a "character" into a "SEXY female character". With her feminine traits used as negatives (taking to it's apex in Other M where she is an over emotional mess despite having been doing her job for years among other things in the game).
Feminist don't consider it more progressive to make women masculine - it's about variety of female characters.
As it stands Peach and Zelda are feminine characters (who I would like to see take more proactive roles in their respective games without losing their femininity) and powerful contenders in SSB and they are two of my favorite fighters. It's about variety - Samus gets few games - and more and more focus on her being SEXY. Her original focus was on how she kicked ass. We were meant to feel powerful when we played as her, not admire her sexy bod.
Also there is no reason for them to look like High-heels other than her being female. They've never been in any of her games well every other characters moves are at the very least based on things from their games - it's jarring.
And as mentioned the issues with Other M is not her look - it's how she acts.
Also I didn't have an issue with the Zero Suit until recently. There is nothing wrong with a women being sexy - It just seems they just keep adding more and more to the "Samus is SEXY isn't she" and less on the character herself.
I don't recall ever saying anything about how she was portrayed in Other M. Of course I did that since I know that starting that bit up is a bad idea. I specifically talked about her appearance in Other M and passed over the other bits of Other M for a reason. Also the thing with Samus just highlights a very annoying problem with the game industry itself, well more the customers than the industry. A lot of gamers border on being hypocrites and the portrayal of women is one of the biggest offenders. I still don't get how a lot of gamers complain about how women are portrayed in games but when a girl gamer is found they almost immediately accuse her of not being a gamer. Of course i can't help but notice that the only female character that one would consider sexy is the only one getting this treatment since Peach and Rosalina both wears heels and so did Zelda until Brawl yet no one has said anything at all for them. It really feels like people are slut shaming Samus for no reason.
DeleteI guess I should mention this but it could end badly for me. I am not saying I agree with her portrayal in Other M I am hopefully just providing context for some things. First of all Samus is a bit younger than people think. In the first game Samus is 17 and since she has been raised with the Chozo since she was three we can't accurately say how she would act in some situations from other people. Second, yes she needs authorization from Adam for some of her powerups while she activates the other and yes Adam does allow the varia suit in the hot place. While I know many don't agree with that I don't think that is her being submissive since first of all she was not even supposed to be there and she specifically agreed to that with Adam. The varia bit can be chalked up to an extreme distrust on Adam's part since they clearly show Samus did not leave on good terms with him. Third, and hopefully final, In the manga a Chozo, I think it was Grey Voice, suggested that Samus has PTSD but she wasn't officially diagnosed. Now I am just providing context I will not argue the writing with Other M since yes it could have used a lot of work in some places. Of course it may also bring up a different problem with every Metroid after it but I won't elaborate for now.
Truth Be told Other M to me was a much bigger sign of how awful platformers are written in this day and age. Samus was this badass who shot first and asked questions later? SCREW THAT! We have to make her broken and emo and make her have PTSD. Dante was funny and quipped but still had deep thoughts about Demon Human relations? SCREW THAT! He should be a super duper angel demon hybrid that whined and cried and said the F word like he's 12 year old Halo player! EVERY PLATFORM CHARACTER SHOULD BE KRATOS!!! EVERY HERO MUST BE A SHATTERED EMO WHO CRIES THEMSELVES TO SLEEP AND CAN'T FIGHT UNLESS IT'S TO CRAWLING IN MY SKIN!!! SCREW FUN! SCREW HAVING LIKABLE CHARACTERS!!!
DeleteOkay, I think you may need to calm down just a wee bit. But yes this does seem to be a common problem popping up. But not from the direction people seem to think it is. Since I noticed after Other M came out the complaints were levied against the Japanese in general yet when Donte came along it was clearly a western portrayal that was prevalent. Now I am not saying that all western made games are bad, a majority is unfortunately, especially considering how popular Mass Effect is. But yes it is not only eastern games that portray some of the stupidest things in characters and yet only Japan gets blamed. Not to mention the idiot behind Donte pretty much said that Bayonetta and Devil May Cry are not that good since they are too Japanese in style. Oh, and I do believe the PTSD thing came long before the current director of Metroid so can't really blame that on him. Also there is the fact that emo has pretty much lost all meaning to gamers, thank you idiots that thought Cloud was emo.
DeleteYes, I apologize. But seriously, this westernization crap gets on my nerves. Soon it will infect all of my favorite franchises. That's it!!! Back to Kamen Rider Super Climax heroes. At least only Fourze was afflicted with western influence (Fourze had a previous Power Ranger producer in the creative team...although I thought it worked)...
DeleteWeird how bores has put up a post on his website showing him editing the next episode.
ReplyDeleteAnyone get a feeling he made such a post after he watched AVGN's behind-the-scenes movie video and just too show he's just as 'productive' as him?
DeleteSo, JonTron's review for Foodfight is...
ReplyDeleteNo, wait. I meant Nostalgia Critic's review for Foodfight is up.
Yeah, the timing on the review is a little suspect, but god damn. That movie is bad enough to make a guy forget about Bores for a little while. It's like a final exam for bad-movie reviewers.
DeleteWhat's with the timing?
DeleteNC's review came about a month and a half after JonTron's. It's a notorious movie, but still awfully obscure, so there's a vague appearance of copycatting.
DeleteWasn't it James Wolfe (regarding Doug Walker's The Wizard review) who said that there's no first dibs when it comes to reviewing things?
DeleteActually, the AnnotatXperiment did riffed on FoodFight before NC or JonTron. Here is the playlist for their riffing.
DeleteIncidentally, this is how I watched the movie, twice, without going crazy.
BTW, I don't think that there's a true 'scandal' or serious accusations of ripoffery going on. It's just unfortunate timing more than anything. JonTron and Critic have been at it so long, with such large bodies of work, that this sort of thing will eventually happen, and it would be absurd to suggest that a creatively bankrupt Critic was reduced to 'ripping off' someone else's review. As far as I know, they're two different reviews with no apparent plagiarism. Snippy YouTube comments do not a scandal make.
DeleteBut God damn, that is a terrible terrible movie.
Just finished episode 3 of "The Wolf Among Us". Not sure if I've mentioned it here before, but that series is really good so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for it to finish up so TellTale can release it on one retail disc. Just like I did with The Walking Dead Season 1 (and what I plan to do with Season 2).
DeleteIt's been quiet...
ReplyDeleteToo quiet... Meanwhile Age of wonders 3 and Pandora first contact are really fun games!
DeleteSo, he just posted a Skylanders video on his main channel. So much for that separate channel...
ReplyDeleteThere's more dislikes than likes. He just doesn't learn...
DeleteUgh, seriously? I guess his new channel flopped so he's going to start posting skylanders shit on his main one again.
DeleteI think the problem is that everyone is searching up the channel name and seeing the ladybuggin777 association.
DeleteDoes anyone have full knowledge of how the search system currently works? I think it matches by account and email now when you search for channels.
So basically, he'd rather have the downvotes and unsubs than let people know he's undergoing the whole "Norman Bates" act... which is kind of a failure in it's own right since at this point it's an un-secret. Way to have ones' priorities in order, huh?
Delete1:05 He tells us how the character plays AS HE IS UNWRAPPING IT. New page, Dan?
DeleteIf there's anything we know about Chris, its the fact that he has very skewed priorities.
DeleteExample 1
hmmm people don't like me taking direct phrases from AVGN. OH I KNOW I'll take direct phrases from wizwar100 and armake21. ME so SMRT!
Example 2
People want me to focus on making an entertaining show and I want money which requires views and thus good content. Therefore I should start unnecessary and completely pointless feuds with people and troll others. That'll get me the revenue I want!
Example 3
AVGN fans have finally stopped giving a shit about me and harassing me for the plagarism. I can now focus on my own work with fans who will happily proclaim my work is original (because saying its stolen is an insult to the person it was stolen from). Clearly my new focus should be to do an unfunny E-begging spoof that does a better job pointing out my immature antics and greedy personality then doing SMRT things like script writing or better editing.
Literally I could go on but I think that DEAD horse is fairly dead.
Sadly he had trouble setting up the new channel under his banner and had to axe it meaning more worthless Skylander content on his main channel again. Who is even interest in that anyway? Someone must be watching or else he wouldn't be doing it.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't seem to have consciously killed off the channel; https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSkylanderC is still up on YouTube. It just has negative reason to exist (down from last week's no reason) because he has not posted his newest Skylanders video to it.
DeleteMy guess: simply forgetting what to post where is typical of his general carelessness.
My guess, the accounts new and he has to constantly switch to Ladybuggin777 to harass people. He probably forgot the login details somewhere between harassing someone and the next package of toys for ignorant stupid consumers.
Delete@Harrod:
DeleteI would assume he kept it up so as to not lose what little he did post there but yeah, the channel is now worthless since it will never be added to ever again.
