Chris, I give you one of the rare, rare, rare moments where I actually praise you for doing something right, and what do you do with that? You screw it up! You throw it right out the window!
What was the point of creating a separate channel specifically for Skylanders material, if you're just going to post Skylanders videos on your main channel?! The channel isn't even a month old! Were you hoping it would get more subscribers? According to Socialblade, you have zero! I'm not kidding, I typed in "TheSkylanderC" and it told me "TheSkylanderC requires atleast 5 Subscribers to be added. User only has 0 subscribers."
Granted, that might be wrong as I did see people comment that they did subscribe. Still, it seems like the sub numbers are less than 100 (for a main channel with over 148k, that's beyond sad).
There's a theory going around that he's ignoring the channel because people that search "TheSkylanderC" in YouTube also see "LadyBuggin777" in the related channels, but that seems like a stretch to me.
How are the fans reacting to the video? They are pissed! More dislikes than likes, and way more negative comments. People are unsubbing left and right, and it only makes Chris look worse and worse. What a moron.
In other Skylanders related crap, Chris posted on his site that he got some "Skylanders 4" card, and to "check back later this week". I did some digging (and by digging, I found a thread on NeoGAF) and the card is a personalized invite to the unveiling of the next game in New York City.
Brian Crecente of Polygon got one: http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/14/5614450/skylanders-2014-activision-reveal-invitation
I imagine Chris' card has Richard Horvitz mocking him as well (this is a real waste of his talent Activision!)
UPDATE: Bores posted two new Skylanders videos, and they're on both channels. Why upload to the main channel if they're on the side channel too?
The dislikes speak volumes about this. Organize your crap Bores!

This isn't too different from Cinemassacre. Obviously, the AVGN channel gets more views than the original Cinemassacre so James trends to post a lot of Cinemassacre stuff on there.
ReplyDeleteIG didn't have much of a choice. No one watches his Skylanders stuff, therefore of course his Skylanders-related channel is going to flip. Therefore, I'm not surprised he went back to his main channel.
If nobody is watching his Skylanders content, that should have been a good indicator for him to stop making those videos. The ONLY possible reasons I can think of for him continuing is:
Delete1. He is getting paid to promote the franchise.
2. There is some hidden following that really likes those videos of his (I am doubtful of this)
No other logical reason to make videos nobody wants. I'd check the comments on that video but Youtube comments have been down for at least a few days now.
Well that is the thing bores has done nothing that even resembles logical thinking. I would list examples but that would take all day.
DeleteSo... this is going to be a worthy contender for the top worst IG moment of 2014.
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of doing something that should've been done, why haven't you continued your Redux Recaps yet? The last one you did was of Harvey Birdman, and that was in November 2012. Plus, it should be good for these periods of inactivity.
I cant even find his skylanders channel anymore. Is it offline?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/user/TheSkylanderC/
DeleteIt still exists. For how long though, who knows.
I don't get the name. "The SkylanderC?" Is it a pun on Skylanders? Or does it mean "The Skylander Channel?"
DeleteI think the C is supposed to stand for "Chris".
DeleteOh, how typical of Boring Man to do something like this. If this tax day is any indication, Chris is up for another year that proves his consistent descent into Red Zone Cuba levels of not caring. Stealing footage of a beloved toku series as well as bashing another good game from said series; making even more banal '80s videos that showcase the worst of post-2005 cancellation Family Guy humor (I agree that for all the Skylanders he's buying, a solid chunk of that money could go towards importing Japanese Chronicle G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron, which I all I would need to interact with for a series I'm planning. They also come with Deluxe DOTM Optimus Prime and Voyager DOTM Megatron); and now, this is going to make me retreat further into looking forward to my anticipated games of 2014 (the developments regarding Mega Man and Lucario's new Final Smashes, as well as Greninja joining the roster have secured my preorders of the new Super Smash Bros. games) and working more on English Comp and Communications. I imagine his "movie" will make Prince of Space look like The Dark Knight; but I think even Krankor wasn't as full of himself as Bores is. See you around, Dan.
ReplyDeleteI counted three MST3K references. Not bad, but wasn't Attack of the the Eye Creatures the one that famously "just didn't care?"
DeleteYes. Red Zone Cuba also had a remark to the effect of "the movie has thrown up its hands and said, I just don't know."
DeleteI can't believe this. That's it, the one chance he has to listen to subscribers for a change and he pisses it away? Why? Why does he continuously defend his not listening to constructive criticism with his LadyBuggin777 account? And for that matter, Why does he still claim that LadyBuggin777 is his mother, when we have SEVERAL pieces of evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that that account is his? Does this man have no shame? (on second thought, don't answer that. The answer is very obvious at this point)
ReplyDeleteQuite. The same IP address is more than enough for me; it also didn't help that he also outed himself during one of those threads as LadyBuggin777 and tried (in vain) to hide it.
Delete"Attention Fans: I am hard at work on my next review and here's your chance to be in it! If you have a green/blue screen handy, I am looking for people to film themselves cheering and celebrating that the day has been saved.
ReplyDeleteI will be choosing a handful of people to be included in the crowd scene. Stand directly in front of the camera so that everything above your lower torso is in frame. Look a little above the camera lens and cheer, go nuts or whatever. Make sure it is well lit and you just might be selected! Upload to youtube in the best possible quality and send me the link when its posted! I wont be using the audio. Video must be submitted by this weekend. This will be in effect until I become overwhelmed by videos.
I have also sent messages to just about every video game reviewer still around on Youtube to be part of this event so if there is someone you would like to see included in the crowd, let them know and extend the invitation"
Wonder how this is going to turn out...
Well, on paper it isn't a bad idea.
DeleteIn practice, it's the Irate Gamer.
His demands are really unreasonable.
Delete"Must have green/blue screen" Well, that alienates almost everybody.
"Well lit" "Best possible quality" Not gonna happen...
...You know some part of me finds this sad. Anther part of me is going "really now, why?" followed by this storyline has been going on for what three years now, why? Followed by, I want to see the list of game reviewers he sent that request to.
DeleteAnyone gonna try and troll him by sending a video with a condemnatory Easter Egg in it, ala the "AVGN RIPOFF" fan art?
Delete@Harrod
Deleteunfortunately not, I don't have a green screen. Even then, I'm pretty sure he's only going to take footage from other people who have trolled for him (just like how contest winners are generally trolls too).
Is he that much of a moron. Hey dumbass the only people who will have a green screen generally want nothing to do with you. I can't believe you are this deluded about your fanbase. The only people who don't watch you ironically can not afford a green screen.
Delete"I have also sent messages to just about every video game reviewer still around on Youtube to be part of this event so if there is someone you would like to see included in the crowd, let them know and extend the invitation"
DeleteWell, that's cute. Considering the hate he's spewed and bridges he's burned, I seriously doubt anyone will take him up on this offer, but.... it's a cute idea.
MAYBE he could get, like...Caddicarus and JonTron (JonTron is a huge maybe) or, like...Mullet Mike. But again, those are big maybes, and I seriously doubt any of them would do it.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteMy initial comment:
DeleteHe's even now fantasizing about a horde of accomplished Game reviewers actually cheering him on; with James Himself at the front in full Nerd costume... isn't he?
Probably, yeah. Like I said, he'd be lucky to get ANYONE.
DeleteI don't see Caddicarus or Mullet Mike doing it (just learned about Mullet Mike, I'll have to look into his stuff later), and I definitely don't see JonTron doing it.
DeleteI am curious who he did ask in the first place. SWAGshow and Steve Masters obviously, but who else...
I did see a couple of fans post videos (search Irate Gamer by upload date) so... we'll see if that happens.
Dan's right: a literal couple of guys posted videos, and both have top-of-head cutoff issues. One in particular ignored the instructions and shot a super closeup of himself, so his clip could only work if he was the only guy in the shot, and even then we're talking very loose definitions of 'work.' This should be fun for everyone except Bores, people waiting for the conclusion of his story arc, and everyone else.
DeleteMain reason I mentioned Caddicarus is because it doesn't seem he's been online as long as James or Noah (Spoony), so perhaps he wouldn't know of Bores's infamy.
DeleteAlso, check out Creepy Gaming if you want to see some REALLY good stuff from Mullet Mike.
I do think this is a good idea; I like the idea of fan interaction and the occasional cameo. However, there are two major problems with this.
Delete1.) As many of you have said, Bores doesn't exactly maintain a good reputation among other reviewers, not to mention he's pretty much fallen by the wayside. Even when he was "big," other reviewers treated him with scorn (Armake21) or flat out ignored him (AVGN). Now he's simply seen as a mockery. I remember JonTron poking fun at him in one of his earlier videos and Linkara made that excellent parody. The likelihood of a big time reviewer doing a cameo is very, VERY low.
2.) He doesn't have a high amount of fans, at least not anymore. And even if he did, how many of them would be able to fill the requirements? How many 10-12 year olds have a green screen, let alone a brightly lit room suitable for filming? It just doesn't seem likely.
Okay, SO. I was marathoning Caddicarus today and I now realize that he is perfectly aware of Bores and probably doesn't like him.
DeleteSomehow, I imagine this won't work the way Boring Man thinks it will. His grasp of how Chroma key works has reached a new low. If I had some, I wouldn't be using it for things like this. A pity, as I find that technique fascinating; so I think those who can fulfill the requirements will probably have their contribution turn out like The Amazing Bulk. That film singlehandedly caused me to rein in my criticism of the Ang Lee Hulk film; especially since his effects work has gotten better in recent years (referring to Life of Pi there).
DeleteEven separate from the technical issues, this shot he's trying to assemble involves people who 1) aren't actors and 2) aren't working together. If he gets, say, ten videos (and they'd better get them in soon), there's going to be a wild spectrum in terms of their levels of energy, style of celebrating, general direction they're looking in, and I'm sure many more issues. Smart move, at least, not asking for sound.
DeleteGreen screens aren't very expensive from Amazon, but lighting isn't as easy as one would think, and getting all this set up and recorded by this weekend is unlikely. He'll probably get one or two people filming themselves in front of a bed sheet.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they won't make the videos private, I'd love to see what other people will do with the shared green screen footage. There's a lot of things you can mix with someone looking exciting and cheering for something they can't see.
Save the hate for the finished product, I say... at least he's trying to involve the fans in an interactive creative dealio, however gimmicky and derivative.
DeleteAt the moment, it's hard to imagine a triumphantly-edited composite shot of 20 to 40 fans, all the same size and looking in the same direction, and with the lighting working the same way on all of them. But to be fair, let's be prepared for Bores to dazzle us.
The best mockery occurs when the mocker gave the mocked every chance to acquit themselves.
I agree. Though I'm afraid Chris will probably just be lazy and not bother to include any actual work. After all there is such a thing as incompatible video footage.
DeleteThe last IG episode was busy enough, with actual things happening, that even people who aren't Chris' high school guidance counselor can concede that there was probably work involved at some level. So to be fair, I inject my "at least he's trying" language, because he's a fellow human being.
DeleteOf course, the superspectamagnifulous conclusion to his grand story arc/movie will, to 99.9% certainty, be really really bad.
But let's not convince ourselves exactly how it will be bad, or how bad it will be, in advance of the actual product. Let the condemned hang himself by his own folly... or somehow escape by the skin of his teeth, likely or not.
You could make a green screen with a cheap single color bed sheet. It's the lighting that becomes difficult.
DeleteIrate Gamer's latest site update mentions the Ruby Spears Mega Man cartoon with this little gem....
ReplyDelete"I didn't know there was a Megaman cartoon let alone a whole series of one"
Wow! Don't know what to say!
Been a while since I checked up on Bores and damn has he stagnated! His focus seems to have drifted toward commentating on toys than gaming. No surprise his fans are pissed. They want Irate Gamer, not Skylanders Commentator! Remember your audience!
Also out of curiosity, is that "Reviewing the Reviewer" fellow still around? Can't remember his name but I recall he started some shit around here a while ago. Wonder how that panned out for him in the long run?
Asalieri? I haven't heard of anything regarding him recently.
DeleteNothing new. Thankfully, he isn't making RaR's anymore.
DeleteHe basically curled into a ball. After people found out he stalked his friend in real life and didn't apologize, it became clear to even biggest of his fans that he's a sociopath and unsubscribed from him.
He still makes videos, but nobody watches them and they have tons of dislikes. Karma is a bitch.
Asalieri deserves it. After all the arrogance and douchery he pulls out for the past few years, I'm not surprised that eventually, karma bites him in the ass BADLY.
DeleteWait, Asa did WHAT? When did THIS happen?
DeleteGuy tells Asalieri he's tired of being associated with a hypocrite
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8bpNA-R7Y8
Shortly after, Asalieri stalks the guy and leaves intimidating messages on his phone as well as showing up to compound that message

Eric Gaede's attempts to play off the incident as "I don't really care and I wasn't worried about the guy leaving my cult" was mocked by the Lasersquad blog and the article included tips on how to disseminate conflicting information.

Two new Skylanders videos are up, this time on irategamer AND SkylanderC. The inconsistency, it burns...
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if Bores has advertised his new channel at all? Like a video talking about it or something? Because it might explain why it has no subscribers, possibly because none of his fans know about it. Either that or they just don't care about the Skylanders videos at all.
ReplyDeleteGood lord, he just posted another Skylanders video! It's a contest too.
ReplyDelete'Pick me' contest again?
DeleteYou know, there's something that bugs me.
DeleteWhy is his fans keep commenting on his pick me contest even though Chris obviously doesn't know they address? Are they really that DUMB?
He has posted like three more Skylanders in the last 24 hours. This has to be trolling...
DeleteWhy would you make videos about something none of your fans care AT ALL?
DeleteHere's his latest article on his website:
ReplyDeletePC Game To Combine Skylander’s Toys with Magic the Gathering Type Strategy
''From the video, it appears to play just like Skylanders by using figures to play in the game.'' NO SHIT! They put the figures on the pad and the character itself appears onscreen? I TOTALLY can't tell the resemblance!
"Their kickstarter has already hit their goal so this game will be a reality in the future." Gee, Chris, just wondering, do you still think that Kickstarter is the tool of the devil?
Guess what one of the tags for this article is? Skylanders! I got a feeling from now on, he will compare every other video game that requires toys and place them on the pad......WITH SKYLANDERS!
Skylander isn't the first video game that requires toys and place them on the pad. It was Hyperscan which sucked.
DeleteHyperscan didn't even use toys. It used cards.
DeleteU.B. Funkeys, on the other hand, did this in 2007.

Perhaps if you laid off the stupid you would succeed in posting a link correctly the first time... You know like every other person can?
Deletethe vid wouldent process the first time NUMBNUTS!
DeleteOh I see, you had trouble with wooden ents. Again I'd like to point that no other person has problems with that. Seriously Charlie, get help.
DeleteU MAD IAM IN IG'S VID BRO?
DeleteWho's IAM? Man it would be cool for IAM to be in an imperial guard video. Not sure what's with U Mutually assured destruction though.
DeleteWow, you look very creepy Johnny. XD
DeleteCLEARLY U GUYS HAVE LOST BRAIN CELLS BY WATCHING AVGN CAUSE FACE IT AVGN IS A MONEY HUNGRY BASTARD!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteIt took you 10 minutes to post that.
DeleteWhy are you bringing AVGN into the conversation? Bitter much?
Deletecause i'am watching IG asshole!
ReplyDeleteWoah "I apostrophe am" watch out for the badass here. Charlie here owns the word am. I didn't even know you could do that.
DeleteHey wait a second. Charlie you owned yourself!
DeleteI'am not Charlie i'am JOHNNY MCFLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI believe you are too young to be attempting tax evasion.
DeleteSo, "Johnny" was in the Irate Gamer's final storyline episode... *Slow clapping* Good for him. Here's what baffles me: does "Johnny" here have anything to show for it? Internet recognition and fame/infamy do not count.
DeleteI can name things that are MUCH better than being on Bores Me To Sleep's show, not counting being on AVGN's show.
*Learning a foreign language
*Donating to charity
*Learning how to drive a car
*Getting your license renewed at the DMV.
*Paying Taxes/Child Support.
*Getting Married
*Making new friend
*Eating
*Reading a book...
And so on.
Dude... Hunter/Charlie/Johnny... you are making IG and his fans look like dipshits. Giving this blog even more ammo against Chris and his fans.
ReplyDeleteAnd on that note, Charles... you DO know that the Nerd gave his fans a chance to be in his movie, too, right? Granted, I didn't accept that opportunity, but if I did, I would NOT be showing off my 'potential fame' to people that I believe are lower than me.
DeleteLet's look at what you're doing now. You accepted the opportunity to be in the Irate Gamer's movie, and now 'you're' showing off 'your' potential fame to people that 'you' believe are lower than 'you'.
Whether or not either person we're rooting for is a quote-unquote "money hungry bastard", the evidence stands that you are being an unlikeable prick by making such a big deal over just having what is essentially the role of a background extra.
@BenWanger i'am not charlie i dont even know who charlie is asshole
DeleteI Lol'd at Wagner.
Delete...Aren't YOU Wagner?
DeleteWell it was only a matter of a time for the more extreme Irate Gamer fans to develop personality disorders.
Delete"You're making his fans look like dipshits."
DeleteSays the person who thinks one single blog with a semi-weekly posting frequency and a VERY small readerbase is some sort of massive hate conspiracy because reasons.
i ment to put wanger dumbass look it up on urban dictionary
ReplyDeleteI do believe the word you are looking for is wanker. Shame how it describes broes perfectly though.
DeleteSo, Ben Wagner and thehunterx619...same person, or am I missing something here? Isn't Ben Wagner a troll, too?
DeleteYes ben wagner is a troll.
Deletehttp://batdansucks.wordpress.com/2013/08/17/ben-wagner-the-real-story/
No idea if they're the same person though... I mean after all its not like they're sane individuals.
This whole thing has a "catch me if you can" vibe to it, eh?
ReplyDeleteOh, I am surprised you have time to watch movies in between the ass kissing you do with bores.
Deleteso whos charlie?
ReplyDeleteHe's you with a British accent.
Deletey u call me charlie then?
DeleteIt took two straight attempts of calling you charlie for you to attempt to dispute your name is not charlie. You kinda suck at logic.
DeleteOh no wait. It took you 3 straight replies to comments that directly spoken to charlie for you to attempt to dispute your call name. Good work there buddy!
DeleteTHEN WHO THE FUCK IS CHARLIE!
Delete"THEN WHO THE FUCK IS CHARLIE!"
DeleteExclamation point instead of question mark. Oh okay then, you're just having an identity crisis. Let me know when I actually have to give answers.
Didn't this guy comment before on another topic and admitted that he was Charlie?
Deleteand its wanger look
ReplyDeletehttp://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wanger
Webster dictionary disagrees
Deletehttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/Wanger
But while we're at it let's just take a look at what Irate Gamer means in urban dictionary.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Irate%20Gamer
oh u mean this dipshit https://www.youtube.com/user/2600theArchive
ReplyDeleteOh good work buddy. Do make fun of the person who is very much you. You do realize all we have to do is look at the avatar you have and correlate to the pictures you just provided in that youtube account right? But of course you forgot a question mark so clearly you were making a statement and not asking me if you were 2600theatari.
Deletei'am
DeleteA) better looking then charlie
b) make better vids then charlie
c) bigger fan then charlie
d) more subs then charlie will ever have
i hate him as much as u guys trust me
Well then good to know you're a monster. I didn't know they came so young.
DeleteNot that I'm really interested in this matter, but how old is this hunter kid now?
Delete15
DeleteFigured you were at least a teenager. Not that your writing was any indication.
DeleteGee Johnny, you sure look creepy now.
Delete> then
Delete> THEN
Seriously, what's with anyone keep mixing up 'then' and 'than'?!
Johnny you are giving these people ammo to be used again IG and his fanbase at large.
DeleteShut up and quit while your ahead, mate.
Hunter, do you have a girlfriend? Maybe you should be spending time with her than wasting time with us on here?
DeleteHe's fifteen and dumb enough to troll for the Irate Gamer. I don't think we should be encouraging teen pregnancies.
DeleteEspecially when the person in question is as stupid as he is. We don't need that kind of dumb spreading around genetically.
Delete@Sovereign64 looked the same then looked the same now wats ure point asshole
Deleteit makes me wonder when his last episode of his dumb story arc will b released i bet it wont b done until august or something like that considering how slow and watch what happens when no one cares about skylanders in a few years he will have nothing to get views by
ReplyDeleteWhatever Skylanders, but when he stamps that random card, for some reason that just pisses me off. Fuck man, he's such a piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteyeah im betting the ending of his story arc will b so lame that he will subscribers leaving his channel where he will pull another contest to do whatever he can for his "job"
DeleteSaw the new Captain America. It was a great movie. There were a couple parts I didn't like, I prefer it when a movie will push my suspension of disbelief to its limit and this one went way beyond that at a couple points. All in all though, great movie.
ReplyDeleteJust saw in the comments section of one of his videos where he took down the video announcing the new channel,and acting like it doesn't even exist, much like he does with the ladybuggin account.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aocQ3UJ1uk is the video where the comment is about how the video announcing the new channel is gone. Diederick Janson is the one that points it out
That user is an idiot. The channel is still up.
DeleteThe "preview" video is still up to, it's called "Mcdonalds 2014 Skylanders Toys Preview"
Bores is doing a piss-poor job promoting it.
I clicked on the video to see if Bores put in ANY effort to hide his past intentions, and I found this in the description:
Delete"Update: I have been constantly encountered problems left and right with tryng to brand a new channel under the irategamer banner. Due to YouTube Problems, I will probably have to deep six the Skylanders Channel. New content soon"
Yeah... I'm not exactly an expert on 'video management', but I'm pretty sure that there's no rule on YouTube against taking the same type of videos you have on your main channel, that have given you no (executive-based) problems in the past, and releasing them on a different channel that you yourself own.
This entire gambit has "I'm-not-making-money" written all over it. How long will we have to wait before Bores starts a Patreon account?
(Oh, and Charles? I'm also fifteen. GROW UP!)
Happy Easter! To those who aren't Christian, happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteIt's also 420, so holiday twofer.
