Hey. Been a while hasn't it? Yeah, I guess I've been busy, and Chris hasn't really done too much crazy shit. But there's some stuff worth mentioning.
Last month was ToyFair, and he once again covered it as Puppet Steve. However, the editing in these videos has been... sloppy.
Most of the time, Chris' editing has been at least decent, that's like the one thing he could do alright. However, a couple videos show signs of laziness and half-hearted work.
The first instance is in a video on Fortnite figures from McFarlane Toys. Don't know (and don't really care) if he got anything about the figures wrong, but as he's filming he suddenly sees Todd McFarlane himself. McFarlane looks into the camera and says "make sure you listen to Chris, he knows his stuff" (flattery will get you everywhere Todd). Then Chris says in a hushed frightened whisper "Puppet Steve! Puppet Steve! They know me as Puppet Steve!" Yeah. Chris kept that in, and it's still up on his channel.
You couldn't edit that out? Mute the audio and add some narration like "Oh look it's our good friend Todd". It's not like it was super important for him to be in the video, he literally just ducks into it. I doubt the 7 year olds watching even know who Todd McFarlane is so I really don't understand your reasoning.
The second far more sloppy instance was a Mario Kart video, where Chris ends up showing his face at the end. He ended up deleting that video, but reader Jack Cravens managed to save it and upload it to DailyMotion. Thank you Jack. It's the last five seconds or so.
Chris still hasn't reuploaded the video, even though it's like the easiest thing to edit. Just chop out the footage. How dumb are you Chris?
There's probably others, but those were the most notable. What is Chris doing? Is he rushing these videos for the ad revenue? It feels like he's completely half-assing Puppet Steve videos these days. He barely does the voice too. He probably thinks "I have 500k subscribers now, I don't have to care". A mistake he probably made back on the Irate Gamer when he reached 100k subscribers.
There was one thing that surprised me. Some time ago on his Facebook page, someone asked about more IG/Chris Neo videos, and he responded "I'm busy with my kids channel". So yeah, I think that's the first time he's actually acknowledged Puppet Steve on his own page. Why does it take Chris a long time to address things like this? "You ripped off the AVGN" "NO I DIDN'T! *block block block*" "Okay maybe I did..." "You're Puppet Steve" "NO I'M NOT! *block block block* "Okay maybe I am..." This isn't how to confront things Chris.
Otherwise... there's not much else. Nothing on "Chris Neo", and Puppet Steve is heavily increasing the clickbait. Including a video titled "MINECRAFT'S LAST FIGURES?!" ... You'd have to be fucking stupid to think that.
I guess that's all.

I don't know what's worse, Chris' laziness or the kids who are still lapping it up.
ReplyDeleteBores is probably being DarkSydePhil about his fan base and saying “THANK YOU YOU FUCKING WORTHLESS HUMANS FOR THE VIEWS” about his 7 year old fan base.
ReplyDeleteI made a little funny comment on Chris' latest Puppet Steve video. Just like PrinceMario did, i archived it just in case Brute Bores delete it.

My comment is still up there so either he no longer deleted comments or he doesn't read the comments on the IrateGamer channel.
DeleteA year ago, I left a comment on an Alphabet Bunch video saying "The Alphabet Bunch is the perfect predecessor to the Letter People." and it's still there.
DeleteThe newest Cinemassacre video is a granular sifting of 12 different Dracula films to determine which is most faithful to the original novel. It must have taken James well over a hundred hours of work- conservative estimate. Watch it and imagine Bores committing that hard to any video.
ReplyDeleteRejoice people! James Gunn is back to do Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and on top of that, Suicide Squad 2!
ReplyDeleteJames Gunn's BFF, Huston Huddleston, is a convicted child molestor. Those pedo tweets he was doing and got caught for, he retweeted from him.
DeleteThis what Gunn apparently retweeted from Huddleston: https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/1020441211688153093?s=19
DeleteWonder if he'll be there for the ride when it opens at EPCOT in 2 years
DeleteI am groot

ReplyDeleteBores latest post:
ReplyDelete=== Question for all my fans out there, If I get some free time this summer to make more gaming episodes, how would you like me to handle the review? Over the top Irate Gamer, more laid back Chris NEO, a more serious docu-style review, or a happy medium? ===
I was just coming to post this. Seems most of the comments are in favor of the old Irate Gamer videos. We know Chris does not want to do an effects heavy show again and his writing is so ham-fisted. A show like that would just seem weird in today's YouTube gaming community. I can't see a serious documentary either - he attempted that with Haunted Investigators but given how lazy Chris has been with editing lately I question how a modern documentary from him would look.
DeleteCan’t wait for more ICBINDLA if Irate Gamer is the option he goes with.
DeleteThis is Bores we're talking about here, so I'm doubting anything will come of it. If he does make any gaming videos, they will probably be half-assed and it will show. (Though maybe there's a chance we'll finally get our Metroid review bringing our Captain N theory full circle.)
Delete
DeleteSo are we finally getting that Superman NES review he promised? Or how about Metroid to complete his coverage of games featured in Captain N?
@MacDagard No love for 80s Fashion Vomit?
DeleteInteresting how the fans want him to be a clown. Perhaps Chris needs to realize nobody cares when he tries to be serious.
DeleteOf course he won't understand this but whatever
Check out the latest episode of Emunation, featuring a Beat It? Or It Eat? segment on Super Mario Bros 2. See if I can beat the game Irate Gamer said had ASS written all over it!

He posted a video about Shazam toys.
ReplyDeleteIn it he puts effects over his face pretending to be Shazam
It is insanely cringy.
Oh, god! That looked terrible. He actually did better dressed as Batman... and I cannot believe I just wrote that. I guess it gives him a chance to open toys without wearing the puppet gloves.
DeleteI actually want to see that movie simply because he's played by Zachary Levi aka Flynn Rider from Tangled.
DeleteAs much as I hate the word cringe, you're absolutely right, Dan.
DeleteOut of curiosity, if Boring Man were to do another Chris and Scottie Road Trip video, how would the jokes play out for these locations?
ReplyDelete1. China
2. Venezuela
3. Ethiopia
4. Iceland
5. Germany
6. Italy
7. Thailand
8. Russia
9. Brazil
10. Australia
Venezuela is already a punchline in itself these days.
DeleteWe all know Bores worships Alex Jones and supports Trump so I bet he’d make socialism comments.
Delete@PrinceMario So you support socialism?
DeleteActually no! I didn’t say I support socialism. I said that if Bores were to “go to” Venezuela he’d make socialism jokes.
DeleteI have grown to have a lot of resentment towards people with any flavor of fame. Especially when they treat their followers like they're doing them a favor by blessing them with their presence.
ReplyDeleteI would kill to have a following for what I want to do, but I'm typecasted by my old ICBINAVGN days. With me, if anything, getting attention for what I do is a present.
The small, the unimportant, the sidelined... they would get the red carpet treatment from me. The super famous, real-world or internet, wouldn't get the time of day.
I’ve always wanted to ask you this but could never get ahold of you on your YouTube page, but have you ever thought about making an archive channel for all the ICBINAVGN videos (similar to what DJCuell did when he stopped making videos)? You don’t have to do this if you really dislike those videos but it might be a nice idea for fans of the ICBINAVGN videos.
DeleteMy informant told me Chris posted another rant on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteThis time about the Boom Studios Power Rangers comic. He's complaining about the current story line, says it's terrible, something about previews to satiate the fanbase, then ends it saying "Makes me want to do an Irate Comic Book Show"
Yeah that's not going to happen. You tried talking about comics in the past, even promising a video on the X-Men. You never did it, you never got past that first TMNT video, which you recycled for I Rate the 80s because you're uncreative.
I haven't read the current arc of the MMPR comic. I do know it's written by a rather controversial writer but still...
What controversial writer?
Delete=== Is anyone else out there reading the Boom Comics Power Rangers Comic? For God sake, who the hell green lit this "Beyond the Grid" storyline. It is a complete trainwreck. This was one of the comics I looked forward to reading every month. Now I have to wait 10 months for this damn thing to end. 10 months! Talk about a huge gamble gone wrong. It's no wonder they press released the next story they are doing months before they normally would so they don't completely lose their fanbase. Gah!! Makes me want to do an Irate Comic Book Show ===
DeleteFace it comics are ruined!
DeleteWhere’s Linkara?
DeleteProbably supporting Marzgurl's witch hunt implicitly.
DeleteSpeaking of such, that whole KickVic campaign she's been supporting has been caving in last I read. Apparently I hear Vic's lawyers have threatened legal action against Marzgurl if she continues this hate quest, and I doubt Marzgurl can even afford to hire a lawyer of her own to counter Vic's.
DeleteMarzGurl is as evil as they come. Not to worry. she will get her karma one day. One day.
DeleteI guess today’s the day I finally give my own take on the Me Too movement. I’ll get this out of the way first. I’m not really opposed to the movement, but I think it’s getting abused a lot lately and so many innocent me are considered guilty no matter the cost. It’s increasing the level of androphobia to drastic levels.
DeleteBack in January of this year, the Apple Daily newspaper in Hong Kong interviewed a lecturer from a tertiary institution who announced his establishment of a support group aimed at “gathering all men who have suffered from false allegations of sexual crimes to speak out”. He claimed to be a victim of this movement, considering it as “encouraging unethical females to frame males they hate, who, under conventional stereotypes, are usually assumed to hold indecent urge for women”.
P. S.: Relating to that article, anyone ever heard of the Him Too movement? It dates back to 2015, and was initially associated with politics or casual communication, but started taking on new meanings associated with Me Too, now emphasizing male victims of sexual harassment or male perpetrators.
I never have been in support of the movement from the moment Alyssa Milano made it go viral with that one tweet in October 2017.
DeleteThe movement is nothing but "trust and believe, no questions asked".
Well in the words of Shaun James Riley: "We go to the Winchester, have a nice pint and wait for all of this to blow over."
DeleteI wonder if Bores gets to cover something Digimon-related.
ReplyDeleteI just thought about this. How great would it be if someone wrote parody lyrics to the song Bad Company by Bad Company but made it about Y2BProductions. It could do.
ReplyDeleteThat’s why they call it
Fake Company He can’t deny
Fake Company til the day he dies.
Thanks for informing us, Dan.
ReplyDeleteOne year anniversary of Change the Channel tomorrow.
ReplyDeletehey people what's up?
ReplyDeleteNothing much, Kiki. You?
DeleteI wonder is Bores worships Mark Dice. He’s like Alex Jones except worse. Alex Jones is at least hilariously bad but Mark Dice is just bad.
ReplyDeleteAlex Jones is a wannabe Rush Limbaugh.
DeleteAnd did you know AJ has now resorted to claiming mental illness?
