Video Game Dumpster Fire on GeekTime

Much to my surprise, Chris is still doing GeekTime. Posted Episode 6 two days ago. From what I'm hearing, it's one hell of an episode.

It opens with them talking about Dark Phoenix. Boy that's late.
Chris complains that it's "too dark". Uhh no shit. The Dark Phoenix Saga wasn't a happy story, it was meant to be a darker tale. Of course, Fox messed up for completely different reasons.
Tim does most of the talking as Chris ends up admitting he only watched the ending. This keeps happening!
Chris ends up revealing he didn't like Logan (what the fuck) and X-Men Origins Wolverine. Are we just pretending that video you made where you called it "All that and a bag of potato chips" doesn't exist? Just because you removed it from your channel doesn't mean it didn't happen. RedLetterMedia made damn sure of that. Then again, he turned around about Ghostbusters 2016 after saying "it wasn't that bad". Now he's saying "it sucks!"
How did you not like Logan? It's a damn good movie. Oh right, this is the man that likes Pixels. Until he admits on the podcast that he doesn't.
Chris' other complaints with Dark Phoenix were the lack of Wolverine and Mr. Sinister. Wolverine is dead until the MCU reboot, and the Mr. Sinister plot point they set up was clearly lost. Not going to come back.

They bring up the Black Widow movie and are upset that Robert Downey Jr is going to appear. ... And that's a problem why? It's set before Infinity War & Endgame, so Tony Stark would be alive. Just saying.

Then they get into the three billionth rant on how Rian Johnson killed Star Wars. Again, Star Wars was "killed" by greedy executives that completely misread trends. Disney realized their mistake and that's why the theatrical franchise is going on a break after The Rise of Skywalker comes out. Not that it matters since people (including all these "fans") are going to keep giving them money. They'll keep buying the toys, the t-shirts, the video games, they'll watch The Mandalorian on Disney Plus. By the way, Chris & Tim do not talk about Disney Plus at all in this episode. That is weird since it's the hot new thing right now. Once again, Chris misses the boat.
Chris also does a dumb joke where he claims Disney is making a Porg Cinematic Universe. It comes out of nowhere.

Tim starts talking about Cobra Kai, the YouTube original series following The Karate Kid several years later. During it he comments how Johnny and Daniel could become friends, which Chris interjects "like Irate Gamer and AVGN". Again, it comes out of nowhere! For someone that wants to really forget about Irate Gamer, he keeps bringing it up.
Chris also states that the people making the new Ghostbusters movie should look to Cobra Kai as "inspiration". ... That's dumb.

There's a weird bit where Tim brings up Seinfeld coming to Netflix, and complains that it's going to be in 4K. ... No it won't. That would require extensive remastering, something that's probably not going to happen.

And then, this is where the inferno happens. Chris and Tim get into video game news, and we're gonna get some insane ignorance.

Chris starts by bringing up the Playstation 5. Claiming it's "weird" that Sony would announce that. ... Why? Why is that weird?! Then he tops it saying "Do we need a Playstation 5?" ... Yes! Do you not understand how console generations work? After a period of time, console makers release a new model that's better than the last one. The PS5 will have more power and features than the PS4. That's how consoles worked for the past 30+ years!
Then he claims the PS4 is everything you need and you don't need a new console. That is a beyond retarded mindset. PS5 will allow developers to do things they couldn't do on PS4, that's the whole point!
I really don't get how that's "weird". Everyone expected Sony to put out a PS5. Weird would be Sony putting a successor to the Vita.

Tim shows his total lack of knowledge, saying he can't tell the difference between the PS3 and PS4. Maybe get your eyes checked.
Then claims consoles are "internet based" now. ... That's inaccurate. Well there digital downloads and patches, you don't have to be 100% connected. As long as you have the disc/cartridge or the downloaded title, you can play it. Being 100% connected is what killed the Xbox One for several years. If you guys are going to do a podcast, shouldn't you research?
Tim then asks if PS4 has 4K. Which Chris doesn't know. Like I said. Research. No, the regular PS4 is not capable of 4K. The PS4 Pro is.

Tim makes a comment that the "gaming nerds are gonna be so mad at us". Soooo... you're trying to reach out to as many "geeks" and "nerds" as possible. Maaaaaybe insulting them isn't the best idea. I wonder why nobody's listening.
And then, Chris says what might be the most shocking and surprising thing he has ever said in his 12 year career on YouTube. "I'm very casual" ... I... I can't believe it. The Irate Gamer... is casual! Very causal even. How did I not see this?! My world is shat- okay enough of that joke.
So, I guess Chris is done with that lie. Just giving it up. He was never good at hiding that he knew nothing about gaming. He further adds that he's "extremely casual about new consoles". So why even talk about it?
Tim tries to save him by saying "But you're big with the NES!" It's too late Tim. He exposed himself. And really, you shouldn't talk Tim. He outright admits the last gaming thing he cared about was getting his girlfriend a Wii. That's at least 12-13 years ago. He's been out of it for over a decade.

For some reason, he brings up Simpsons Hit & Run. How he wants a remaster but there's licensing problems. Yeah, lots of problems. Hit & Run was published by Vivendi Universal, who are now part of Activision. The rights went to EA, who still have a stranglehold on them thanks to Tapped Out. The developer, Radical Entertainment, are basically skeleton studio now, only supporting other Activision games. Basically, this is why remasters and re-releases of licensed games are so rare.

But then he also mentions the game's "limitations". That's what new consoles are for! A new console would remove any possible limitations. Like making Lisa's hair look less weird in 3D. I know you admitted you're casual but holy crap.

Then he starts talking about the Final Fantasy VII remake, and the way he talks about it, he sounds like he just learned it exists. I know you mentioned it in 2015 in your E3 video. Do not tell me your memory is THAT bad! ... Even though I should be used to that by now.
He talks about "paywalls". ... What paywalls? I know there's some minor DLC, but I haven't heard anything about a paywall. No... get this. He seems to think that the FFVII remake, is PS5 exclusive. Even though it hasn't been announced for that (yet), and it's clearly a PS4 game out in three months. Are you that sheltered that you somehow don't know it's a PS4 game?!

By the way, Tim goes "Seven is the one with Sephiroth right?' Oy vey...
To make things worse. Chris can't pronounce Aerith, refers to Shinra and Midgar as "characters" (unless you mean President Shinra and Rufus, but I doubt that). Then he gets upset because his two "favorite" characters haven't been shown. Red XIII and Cait Sith. First off, Cait Sith? Really? Second, of course they haven't been shown. The entirety of the game takes place in Midgar, a massive expansion compared to the original. Red XIII doesn't show up until the final part of Midgar, and Cait Sith doesn't show up until the Gold Saucer, which won't be until the next game. In Red XIII's case, they're not going to spoil the final act in previews. This isn't Kingdom Hearts III.

Then they talk about the Avengers game from Square-Enix, a book about NES games, and then the rest of the podcast is not important.

Hoo boy was that bad. I mean, most of it was boring as sin, but once they started talking about video games it just spiraled out of control. Would it kill you to do research into the topics you discuss? Oh right, look who I'm asking.
As of this posting, Chris has not uploaded this episode to YouTube. I imagine it will go the same as the others. Barely any views, lots of dislikes. Even on the comments on his Facebook don't care about the episode. Is this really worth continuing Chris? You're gonna have to find something, especially with YouTube's policy changes killing Puppet Steve.

Speaking of Puppet Steve, what has that been up to?
Latest video is a reaction to the trailer for Scoob, that upcoming CGI animated Scooby-Doo movie. A trailer that came out three weeks ago. Again, real quick on the uptake.
However... a few days ago he uploaded a video covering Heroes of Goo Jit Zu action figures, a line of toys where they're squishy and gooey on the inside. For some baffling reason, Chris decided to add an Asian Conical Hat to Steve... and give him slanted eyes. Blatant racism for the kids! Feels like I'm watching Bugs Bunny in 1944. It's only in the thumbnail, but even so that is just wrong. Maybe you should leave Ohio for once in your life Chris. Go see the world. Realize that a racist mind is a filthy mind.

Sorry if this post seems all out of sorts.
