And lo, another year comes to an end. But not just a year, a whole decade. A lot happened these last 10 years, from technology to politics to entertainment. The world is moving faster than ever.
That rings true even for Chris Bores. Having thought about it, I think I will list the worst moments of the decade for the Irate Gamer (and other projects). That won't be today though. I'm gonna have to revisit my old posts and organize them into a suitable list.
Has anything happened since my last post? A couple things.
I mentioned before that Chris put out a "call-out" to Jason Hawes. Here's a picture of it.
"Inside information" Yeah right. "Knowing" there's a season 2 isn't anything big for cheap-ass reality show like this. That's the secret to how they can keep going with such low ratings, they do not cost much. It's not like the Travel Channel is even that big to begin with. Oh I'm sorry, the "Trvl Channel". What the hell? First "SyFy" now this?
Over on Puppet Steve, earlier this month he posted an abysmal reaction video to the trailer for Ghostbusters Afterlife, the new apology movie from Sony. For whatever reason, Chris decided to show the trailer by filming his monitor and not downloading the video or recording it while it was full-screen on YouTube. Are we in 2009? What is the excuse for this lazy quality? Curious, I looked at an earlier reaction video for Scoob (weeks after the trailer came out) and while he does record his screen, he also plays the trailer in good quality. I think he pauses so he could point his gloved hands and be like "look at that super cool reference, I member it". Yet with Ghostbusters, everything is recorded from his screen. Was Chris just too lazy to download and edit the video?
He's also continuing to do "guest stars" from other YouTube Kids channels. But it seems his viewers aren't falling for it anymore, and his latest "cameo" from Duddy was called out for how fake it was.
The other day on Facebook, he posted a couple pictures he claimed was evidence of a ghost.
I don't see it. I just see an annoying bright photo, and a dark photo. Is the dot in the latter meant to be the ghost? That could be anything. If this is evidence of spirits, then this hobby sucks ass. I can't believe Chris wants to get paid for this, and have a TV show. You can tell he wants that TV show from all the bitterness he's been displaying this year. "Wah wah wah why do Jason and Grant still get to do TV and I don't! Wah wah wah!"
Jason and Grant have a thing called "charisma", and have experience hosting TV shows. Chris, you're about as charismatic as a winter potato. You've been rejected by studios countless times because you're not enthralling enough, you're not entertaining enough. These two were able to keep people captivated and watch their stupid show for 11 seasons (there's a 12th now but that's a revival).
Your lack of charisma really shows in GeekTime. I can barely stand to listen to you ramble on for an hour and a half about popular media. What makes you think people would want to hear you ramble about a niche topic like ghosts for 53 minutes a week? For those wondering, there hasn't been a GeekTime episode since the sixth one from earlier this month. It continues to get savaged in YouTube comments and ratings.
So yeah, stay tuned for the Worst Irate Gamer/Chris Bores Moments of the Decade.
Happy New Year everybody.
Cheers
ReplyDeleteNovy God, I guess.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to everybody! (You too, Chris.)
ReplyDeleteAn fb post from about an hour ago, regarding his Bores plans for the big double twenty:
ReplyDeleteSo for this New Year, my mission is to expose the Ghost hunting world for what it is since I've been powwowing with the top brass in that field for about 5 years now and seeing the complete hypocracy within it. What do you guys think would make for an interesting first video. Ripping apart the Ghost Nation show or the entire current slate of paranormal shows airing and my hand in it? I've been pulling info together and not sure which to focus on first. Either way I know I'm going to make a ton of enemies but after what they've been doing to me, I really don't care anymore.
1) The phrase "this should be good" comes to mind.
Delete2) I didn't know the ghost hunting field had "top brass." Whether they're elected or appointed, I suspect they're all far, far less powerful than the people who greenlight ghost-hunting TV shows.
If Bores was to really make a video exposing ghost hunting, it would be him admitting its bullshit
DeleteChris is still struggling to appear relevant. Come on, Chris. You've peaked. Ghost Hunting 2.0 is as high as you will ever get in the ghost hunting community. Puppet Steve is your most successful effort by far and that is a project you do not attach your name to. Even then the views on that channel are far lower than other toy review channels. By this point it is obvious that every time you hype up some big project be it The Irate Gamer movie, GeekTime or Ghost Hunting it ends up fizzling out. It is time for you to move on.
Deleteijust reread this blogpost, and i missed that batdan is gonna compile a decade list! yay
ReplyDeleteYes, good news! My guess as a longtime participant in this blog is that the "Opening Up" video will be #1, as it's just so venal, cowardly, easily debunked and typically Boresian. But maybe Dan's dive into the archives will come up with something more perfect that I forgot.
DeleteI'm going to be a contrarian and say that the Opening Up video will be #2 with the jewwario thing being #1.
DeleteYep, I agree the Jewwario thing should be on the list. Even with the elephant in the room, it was still a very shitty thing for Bores to say.
DeletePersonally I think the E-begging spoof is the absolute worst thing Chris has ever done.
And yet, Batdan drops this bombshell just before the new year--a top ten worst Bores moments of the decade! I shall ready the tastiest of popcorns, compadre...
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to the decade end list. Keep in mind that Chris' more infamous moments were in 2007-2008. These are going to be the hypothetical contenders.
ReplyDelete-Eating 20 Year Old Cereal
-The Ubisoft video
-3 in 1 video
-Opening up video
-Dealdash video
-Ebegging The Spoof
-Puppet Steve creation
-Disrespecting JewWario
-Disrespecting Leonard Nimoy
-The Castlevania review
-the Silver Sufer review
-Geektime
-Duck Hunt review
-Spamming Skylanders videos
My picks for the worst Bores moments of the decade, in no particular order:
ReplyDelete1.) Disrespecting recently-deceased people
2.) The DealDash fiasco
3.) Bores showing lack of good taste in movies
4.) His awful "movie" that was meant to be competition for James Rolfe's movie, looking like it was rushed out
5.) His attempts at Let's Plays ending up worse than Doug Walker's LP of Bart's Nightmare
6.) Puppet Steve in general
7.) "Blowing up" Ubisoft (with cheap effects) because he couldn't get into their conference at E3 2011
8.) Ghost Hunting 2.0
9.) The Irate Gamer Game
10.) The e-begging "spoof"
11.) The "opening up" video
12.) Bores screwing over an ex-fan with empty promises
I would work in those instances of stealing game footage from other people for his videos. Like Cyberman365 for Sonic Generations and even as recently as the Puppet Steve video about Crash Team Racing
DeleteOh, yeah! Forgot about that.
Delete13.) Bores stealing footage from other users, such as Cyberman65 for the Sonic Generations review.
Just as a treat to the commenters of this blog. Here's the early draft of the script to the opening segment on The Rise and Fall of Channel Awesome. Let me know which incidents and videos should be included in the episode since there's been drama on the site for years. I already have stuff in mind I want to cover.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to the script!

ReplyDeleteA mess.
DeleteHope life's going well for you, mate.
