I try to space these out, but this was too crazy to pass up.
First we've got some ghost stuff. His Facebook group isn't seeing any growth, still only at 20 members.
Maybe posting about Ghostbusters toys when this is meant to be a "serious ghost hunting" page isn't the brightest idea? Yeah, rather than post about Ghostbusters at ToyFair on his main page, he posted about it on his ghost group. It's sad how badly he wants to be a genuine Ghostbuster. Could he not just join one of those fan groups they always have around? I'm sure Ohio has a few. *searches* Yep, at least three from a cursory Google search.
But that's nothing compared to this.
Chris commenting on a Ghost Adventures clip he recorded with his potato phone.
I thought the ghost hunting shows were all terrible Chris? Is there something about Ghost Adventures that sets it apart from the others? I know it's the one people are always making fun of (RedLetterMedia, Honest Trailers).
Of course he makes it all about him. "ME ME ME My techniques, my eight years all me!"
If you're curious, the clip shows a "shadow" moving in that window. The shadow looks like an alien. My informant captured the video and sent it to me, and I couldn't stop laughing. That was the phoniest shit ever! So obviously staged. You'd have to be a total moron not to se- oh right... almost forgot who we're dealing with.
But even that's nothing compared to this next part. If you haven't heard by now, E3 has been cancelled this year due to COVID-19 or the Coronavirus. A safe precaution as just about every major gathering has been cancelled. I hope everyone stays safe out there.
Chris... had some bizarre words about this.
... What the fuck are you talking about?!
Do you even know what Gamespot is? They've been around since 1996, a year after E3 started. They didn't take the show over. That's an idiotic mindset. Where did that even come from? "Make money off the event" Everyone does that! Not just Gamespot, but IGN and Kotaku and even your partner GotGame. Do you still even work with them? They still exist, I checked and they posted a review within the last 12 hours.
What kind of moronic idea is "Gamespot took over E3 and pushed out the little guy"? Where did that even come from? Is your tinfoil too tight again?
I love that last question "What will they do now?!" ... The same thing they always do. Report the news and write reviews. Something you gave up on a long time ago. Just because there's not going to be a big gathering in Los Angeles this year doesn't mean we won't get news. If anything, more companies are going to adopt the Nintendo Direct style of messaging. Something they should have done a long time ago.
Interesting how he doesn't mention the reason E3 got cancelled. No word on the Coronavirus. Don't tell me you think it's a hoax. ... Do you?
I'm just amazed he's this dumb and conspiratorial. Then again, it's hard to top "Illuminati imagery on Nickelodeon". I'm surprised more people don't know that he said that.

The Neverending Ghost Garbage
Another month later and GeekTime is still dead.
ToyFair in New York City happened earlier this month, and of course Chris went to it. Even though YouTube gives more if videos are 10 minutes or longer, for whatever reason he decided to do live 3 minute chunks recorded on his potato phone. I say that because the sound quality is abysmal. It stutters and stops and it's almost impossible to understand what he's saying. You couldn't test your phone's capabilities before live-streaming?
He covered the same crap he usually does. FNAF, Bendy, Baldi, Fortnite, Batman. He talked about Mortal Kombat toys. Oh yeah, that glorious kid-friendly series where eyes are gouged and stomachs are blown up. At one point, there was a video on My Hero Academia toys, but he deleted it. He claims kids asked for it. Due to the audio, I couldn't tell what he was saying (though it sounded a lot like "there's this guy and this guy")
Despite having 653k subscribers, the views are pretty bad. The other day he posted a video on the *sighs* "Top 15 Baby Yoda toys" and it only has 16k views. Not sure if late to the craze or just nobody caring. It's kind of weird that Chris' sub count goes up but his views go down... do you think he's artificially inflating his numbers?
He also posted a video on FNAF bootlegs where pretends to be El Chip from Pizzeria Simulator, with a terrible Mexican accent.
There's also a good example of Chris' terrible timing. In a video about Sonic toys posted on February 29th, he stated that the Sonic movie was coming "next week". Except that came out February 14th. You couldn't pick a more vague line? If you're aware the video was getting released after the movie, you couldn't say something like "With the Sonic movie out, let's look at Sonic toys". Unbelievable.
Of course, Puppet Steve is still likely "the money maker" as his real love lies in ghosts, and he's still going with it.
He posted a new group on Facebook made for Toledo ghost hunters. It only has 20 members. In case you're wondering, the population of Toledo Ohio is estimated to be 276,491. Really boxing yourself in with this idea Chris.
He also posted what he claimed was one of his proudest finds. A video of a ghost allegedly saying "hi". I couldn't watch it because I need a Facebook account, but my informant did and they couldn't hear a thing. Sounds more like Chris hearing what he wants to hear, rather than the truth.
Say Chris, what happened to that project to "expose" the professionals? How about that book exposing YouTube? Were they all just empty threats?
