We're well into January and Bores still ignores his "Chris Neo" channel, and it may be that way for a loooong while. Over on Facebook, one guy (claiming to be a game journalist pffft) noted the announcement of Series 2 of Arcade1Up (those crazy expensive replica arcade cabinets), hoping Chris would do a video about them. He responded that "he's too busy" and not to expect any video game reviews until summer. Seriously? How hard can it be to do an unscripted video with no jokes and barely any commentary? I doubt he's doing more ghost shit, so the only other thing he's really busy with is Puppet Steve. Which connects to the next subject.
Another user called him out for not doing his old style of reviews anymore and Chris responded that it's no longer feasible because YouTube keeps changing the "algorhythms". That is how he typed it. Here's the thing, no algorithm can save you. You did yourself in, and if you think algorithms can help your new format you are a bigger fool than I thought. It's clear nobody is falling for your weak clickbait. You can easily get around this if you opened a Patreon, but for some reason you refused to do it. You didn't even give a good reason.
And for someone that complains about the algorithms, you loooooove to exploit it as a Puppet Steve. You can't do Irate Gamer videos anymore, but 50 videos about FNAF and Bendy is the real shit. It'd be one thing if you actually cared but you clearly don't, this is obviously just a tool to make money now. You don't even bother doing the voice. Yes, YouTube is awful, but there are ways around it if you take the time to learn and to invest in other money making methods. Making money solely through YouTube is no longer possible. You have sponsors but when you don't make videos, it doesn't matter.
Why are you so obstinate about all this? It's been almost 12 years since you seriously got into YouTube, nothing stays the same in that amount of time. You have to adapt, but instead you cry that nothing is the same, and make up conspiracies about why things change. You're essentially the Alex Jones of YouTube bullshit, and I want to tell you that's not a good thing since I know you're a fan of his Chris.
Anyway, couple of other things. He's excited for the new Ghostbusters movie (no title given), so much so he made a Puppet Steve reaction video to the teaser (been a while since one of those). Even though it's the rare case of a teaser actually being a teaser, and it showed nothing but the Ecto-1 in a barn. That's it. Yet somehow Chris made a 5 minute video about it. Makes me wonder how shitty "nerd culture" channels do the same.
He's also excited for Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, a newly announced fighting game that looks like a low-end PS3 game. I thought it was a port of the mobile title Legacy Wars, but they say it's a new game, with 3v3 fighting a/la Marvel vs Capcom and Dragon Ball FighterZ (you could have shown that in the trailer). Despite looking weak, Chris marked out about it, and of course the Green Ranger. Your fanboy-ism for Tommy Oliver is really dumb and reeks of being try-hard.
I wonder... since Hasbro is working on a sequel to the 2017 movie, which will include Tommy, will the cast get their wish of a female Tommy? A Tomi Oliver if you will? I wonder how Chris will react to that.
Welp, who knows what's going to happen between now and June or July or whenever he decides to stop playing with toys. Maybe we'll get some more Tinfoil Chris in that time?

Well, his game reviews are a lot of work; it takes time to learn so much about a video game that you can fake being a fan since childhood, and then forget 90% of that.
ReplyDeleteI note it's been four months since his last Zombie-Steve-dedicated review for that side channel; not surprising when you compare view counts on the most recent ones to just a year earlier.
I wonder if the new Ghostbusters will be any good. Do you think they can make it work without Harold Ramis?
ReplyDeleteConsidering it's original director Ivan Reitman's son Jason behind the project, I think it'll do okay-- at least, far better than Paul Feig's version.
DeleteAlso, at the end of Joseph Ghostbusters post, he says IG thanks you. Shouldn't that be CN?
ReplyDeleteHis not Joseph, dumb phone
DeleteBores' Latest Post:
ReplyDelete=== So how is there a woman lead in a film called "Men In Black"??? They need to call it what it is: "2 Guys, A Girl and Not a Pizza Place" ===
ZAMN again...
Delete2 guys a female girl and not a pizza place
Delete2 guys and a female girl who might be interested in Target gift cards.
DeleteHeh, a couple of comments on the MiB post are telling him to cut the crap.
DeleteWhat I *really* don’t get about this post is the “Not a Pizza Place” part. What the hell does that even mean?
DeleteIt's a reference to a late 90's sitcom called "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" (later renamed to just Two Guys and a Girl). My guess is Bores was attempting a joke and failing hard.
Delete1 guy 2 puppets and an abandoned gaming channel
DeleteSoon, it will just be 2 puppets and a guy :)
DeleteSo Chris claims his last name is pronounced "Bor-ess." Though in this old E3 video, HE clearly pronounces it "Boares."

Is this your "accent" again, Chris?
Kingdom Hearts Timeline - Chronologically Confused - Angry Video Game Nerd (Episode 165)
ReplyDeleteI've always been fascinated by Kingdom Hearts, being both a major fan of Final Fantasy AND Disney, but I thought the idea was far fetched at first like the Dragonball Z/American Tale Fivel Goes West crossover fanfiction. I was also shocked because when I first played Final Fantasy IX, it reminded me of a Disney movie and this was way before movies like Tangled or Frozen came out.
DeleteWho's Alex Jones?
ReplyDeleteHe's the conspiracy nut who got (in)famous for claiming that Sandy Hook was a hoax and that all the dead children and their families were just crisis actors.
DeleteHe later started some Youtube channels, and when they were shut down for fake news and conspiracy theories, he and his flock tried to claim it was censorship.
He also thinks chemicals in the water is making the frogs gay.
