Happy Halloween everyone! While I’m sure you’d love to go party, it’s best that you don’t. Stay home and watch a horror movie. Do it in costume if you have to.
Turns out that last week’s episode was not the Halloween special. Instead, it came out last night. Irate Gamer celebrates the holiday with… The Simpsons? Okay sure, Treehouse of Horror is a Halloween staple but really?
No, he’s not looking at the NES games like he promised all those years ago. Instead he’ll be looking at the THQ published Game Boy Color exclusive “Night of the Living Treehouse of Horror”.
For some reason, the video title has him listing the Game Boy Advance even though it’s a GBC game. Sure, the GBA can play all Game Boy software, but it seems pointless to bring it up in the title.
The thumbnail has Donut-head Homer from Treehouse IV, Raven Bart from Treehouse I and IG dressed like Dracula with some really terrible looking fake teeth. Did he buy them from the dollar store?
14 minutes long, ready yourself.
The video opens with Irate Gamer rising up like Dracula and welcoming us. He points out today’s video is about The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror game, and remarks that he didn’t know it even existed. Most don’t. Then he makes a “joke” about “Luigi’s Pumpkin Carving Simulator” … What?
Theme song, a slight remix of last week’s cover. No credit to Lame Genie though. Did they not work on it this time? Or is Chris back to denying credit to other people.
No sponsorship either (real or fake).
We return with IG telling us about the Treehouse of Horror episodes. He shows a clip from Treehouse III’s “Dial Z for Zombies”. Does he want to make any money from this?
Mentions how it’s annual, then he follows with a clip from Treehouse IV’s “Terror at 5 ½ Feet”. The part where Bart tells Otto there’s a “Gremlin” on the side of the bus, and he sees Hans Moleman in an AMC Gremlin. Oh, come on, that’s not even the best part of the joke!
We cut back to him standing behind a bunch of Simpsons figures because Chris always has to show off his toys. He notes how other shows weren’t doing Halloween episodes (not true, every successful sitcom had one or two) and its part of the reason it became a big hit “later in its life cycle”. The Simpsons started as a big hit, and the Treehouse episodes were only a tiny reason why.
Then a clip from Treehouse V’s “The Shinning”. Is this to make up for your lack of humor?
He gives an anecdote about wanting to watch Treehouse II, as it was the “second year” and he was already a big fan. Third season Chris, you even established that the first Treehouse was in Season 2. Do you ever proofread what you write?
Anyway, he tried to record it with his VCR because he went on a camping trip but found the tape only contained the first 10 minutes. Followed by a clip from the end of Treehouse II.
But then he just goes on and on about the episodes all while showing clips. It’s rather boring…
He shows his pile of Simpsons games, picks up the one he’ll be talking about, and puts it in his GBA SP. Do you think that’s charged or is it another prop?
He praises the intro, calling it “pretty fun”. Not really, it’s just the family on the couch (with Bart in his blue shirt for some reason) and the lights go out. That’s it. Seems pretty lame to me.
He starts with the level based on Bad Dream House (the very first Treehouse segment) where Bart has to go in and find Santa’s Little Helper. He notes how at the end, he’s not with the family so he’s still in the house. But then he’s confused because the segment ended with the house imploding.
“We’re going to have to suspend belief” That’s disbelief, you suspend disbelief. How did you mix the two?
“I know this game is going to be epic!” … No.
“…after playing it for five minutes, my excitement for it bursts open wider than a wet fart on a wooden chair” Followed by a fart sound. Wait, that doesn’t make sense. Bursting with excitement is a good thing. It’s a positive feeling. Did you mean your expectations? This line really doesn’t make sense. Felt like he wanted to put in a fart joke at any cost.
He blames THQ for making the game a scavenger hunt rather than a basic sidescroller. Why do you expect everything to be a sidescroller? Here’s your problem Chris, you go in into games expecting them to play a certain way and get mad when they don’t. That’s not how you approach reviewing games.
Also, THQ was only the publisher. The developer was British studio Software Creations, who were acquired by Acclaim and died off in 2004. Just three years after this game came out. What a shame…
Then he gets mad because he hates scavenger hunts, and yells “Fuck”, with a giant black and yellow “Fuck” on screen. But then he remembers it’s Halloween and delivers a “Fuck” in a deeper voice with white text dripping blood. My god the cringe… do the fans find putting the text on screen so hilarious? He did this joke before.
He goes over how the game works, how you need to find fuses to work the fuse box and keys to get in the attic and if you don’t fix the power the lights go out. He lists off some of the enemies like vacuum cleaners, books, and broomsticks. He calls them out for ripping off “Mickey Mouse cartoons” You mean Fantasia?
Then he wonders why there’s no bleeding walls or monsters like in the original segment. Pssst, it’s a game for kids. I know it’s easy to forget but The Simpsons isn’t really a series for children. Sometimes they have to tone things down, like how Homer in Lego Dimensions only drinks Buzz Cola not Duff Beer.
Also, what monsters? Bad Dream House didn’t really have those. It had an evil house on top of an Indian Burial Ground that made the walls bleed, had a portal to Hell, and made the Simpsons try to kill each other.
Then he sees hands rising from the ground, which he lets slide because it’s like the zombie episode.
He complains that the health bar is pointless because the enemies take a lot of life if you’re hit. Then what do you prefer? 1 hit kills? No wait, he wants to not die. No challenge!
He calls Bart’s slingshot useless because it doesn’t work on the ground-hands. Pretty sure you’re not meant to kill them. They’re stage hazards like spikes. You don’t go into Mega Man trying to kill the spike floors. This is worse as in the footage following, it has Bart clearly killing a rat. Your points and the footage do not match!
He complains that the enemies include rats and spiders and refers to it as a “Master Splinter infestation” and photoshops Splinter standing in front of The Simpsons as they watch the house implode. … What’s the joke? Also, they had to take liberties somehow! It would make sense for an old spooky mansion to have vermin anyway.
He complains about the slingshot some more, saying that it fires off in angles that trigonometry can’t figure out. … It’s an arch. Also, it’s clear from the footage you’re not trying. He also fumbles the word “trajectory”. Sounding more like “tra-jec-tury”.
Then a clip of Professor Frink from Homer³ because… math.
Then he points out that going “Mario on his ass” (with sound effect) doesn’t work. Gee you think? Also, that’s not half your health bar. Come on.
He gets to the basement, which is full of “precision platforming”. Though in the first clip he purposely dies. Aftewards, it shows a montage where Bart goes through the platforms. That’s not really precision, that’s just bad design.
He references the Springfield Gorge scene because… Simpsons
He also points out the Indian Burial Ground is throughout the level and plays the clip.
He collects the fuses and keys and complains that this first level, which should have only taken five minutes, took him 40. Sounds like a “you” problem.
Then he calls it a “FrankenFuck” with the same bleeding text. Blaaaaah.
Calls it a Fantasia rip-off and finishes up.
He moves onto the next part where you play as Maggie with the body of a fly. He wonders what “Jeff Goldblum shit” this is and edits the poster for The Fly to include Maggie. Do you not know about Treehouse VIII’s “Fly vs Fly”, which is an open parody of the 1986 movie with Bart becoming a fly due to a matter transporter mishap?
Oh… he does know. Because he brings it up after showing the edited poster. Including the fact that it was Bart that turned into a fly. He calls it “ridiculous” that it’s Maggie instead. Probably a demand from the license holders to include Maggie in some way. Happens with a lot of shitty licensed games.
He compares this level to Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers on NES. … I don’t see it. Especially since you don’t fly in that game.
He says that one enemy should be in Super Mario Bros. Mario doesn’t hold exclusive rights to using Venus flytraps!
He points out some of the references like Mr. Sparkle, Blinky the three-eyed fish (doesn’t say his name) and jars of Krusty Beans, which he doesn’t recall from the show. They don’t exist in the show proper but remember that Krusty puts his name on any product no matter how pointless or terrible. Of course he would put his name on beans. Critical thinking is important.
Collect the microchips and take them to the transporter, which IG confuses with Homer’s time-traveling toaster from Treehouse V’s “Time and Punishment”. It’s not the toaster, it’s the matter transporter.
And yes, he plays a clip.
Of course, he doesn’t get that (because he didn’t bother reading the text) and instead gets Marge running through Springfield shooting down zombies. Saying it’s “based on the Zombie Simpsons episode”. Which one? There are hundreds of Zombie Simpsons episodes. (I know he means “Dial Z for Zombie”; Zombie Simpsons has become a colloquial term for the series after Season 10 that fans use to describe the shambling mess that keeps going and going).
He praises the enemies being Springfield residents as zombies, except for Moe who is “too difficult” for him as he throws cans from a sewer three at a time.
After he kills a bunch of zombies, the boss of this part is Krusty. IG is confused by this. Did you forget the original segment? Krusty is one of the Springfield residents that turned. Sideshow Mel kills him, and he returns demanding viewers send their brains.
“It the Clown I could understand” You mean Pennywise?! Who wrote this script?
He skips to the next level with Homer in Dracula’s castle, based on Treehouse IV’s “Bart Simpson’s Dracula”. Clip of Count Burns.
He brings up how Homer’s crossbow doesn’t seem to work and says he could throw “ghost piss” and it would be just as effective. You’d love some ghost piss wouldn’t you Chris? Anything to justify the thousands of dollars you’ve wasted on your stupid ghost hunting pursuit.
He freaks out over a part where you race to the top to escape vines, references the time Homer said “Jebus” as he reaches the end.
He calls the level long, blames THQ again, and eventually reaches the boss (Burns). Calling his sprite, the “coolest in the game”. … I don’t see it.
Onto the next level, which is based on “Homer’s Nightmare” from Treehouse II. He hates this one as he rants about it. Claiming it’s a “shit sandwich” with special sauce that a McDonalds employee jerked off into. Is it now a policy to have one cum joke per video?
He complains, saying there’s nothing to do, calls it “THQ level design” (not them), blah blah blah. For some reason he asks for Lenny or Carl to show up. Why? Outside of a cameo, they’re not involved in the segment. It’s mostly Burns and Smithers playing Frankenstein and Igor, while Homer is the monster.
And yet another clip. Says the level will give you an ulcer.
Moves on to the next one, based on Treehouse V’s “Nightmare Cafeteria”. It’s another scavenger hunt, so he wants nothing to do with it. Unless Uter shows up. He does but rescuing him ends the level, so he doesn’t see him.
“Finger my ass with a monkey’s paw!” I know it’s a reference, but man does that sound forced.
For some reason he really wanted to see Uter. Why? Nobody likes Uter. Not even the writers.
Instead he moves onto the final level based on Treehouse III’s “King Homer”.
He likes this one, compares it to Rampage (only on the surface level), for some reasons references Peter Jackson and Jack Black (I know about the 2005 remake, but it seems pointless to bring it up here) and finds the planes while climbing the tower are hard to destroy and easily kill you.
He beats the game and shows the weird ending where the Simpsons fall out of the treehouse and get abducted by aliens. He complains that Kang and Kodos don’t show up in the game at all. He also calls the specials “Treehouse in Horror”. You really couldn’t do a second take on that?
Anyway, the lack of those two pisses him off so he takes the game out and bites into it, causing it to bleed. Laaame.
We get some “Happy Halloween” text, followed by the Gracie Films logo. Well this boring shit was on par with some of the worst Zombie Simpsons episodes…
We get a credit to Zachary McCallion for helping. Wait, that’s three people now. Chris has at least three different fans writing and editing for him? Does he have the money to pay them all? Are they even getting paid? I’d like to know.
But really, this was so damn dull. No amount of Simpsons clips could lift this from the dreadfully slow sludge this episode is mired in. All I got was that Bores hates scavenger hunts.
Puppet Steve still hasn’t brought up Smash Bros. Makes me wonder if Chris really did sell his Switch.
He did post an old picture on Facebook of him sitting next to Joshua Dela Cruz, the host of the recent Blue’s Clues reboot “Blue’s Clues and You!”. He offered the idea of an “Irate Gamer & Blue’s Clues crossover”. Oh yeah, let’s take the show where you constantly reference feces and jizz and have it pair up with a show for toddlers. It’s no wonder Puppet Steve is dying.
That’s all for me. I hope you have a safe, healthy, Halloween. Stay warm, wash your hands, and don’t forget to vote.

I didn’t bother watching the video. As for Simpsons games I’ve only played Bart Vs The Space Mutants, Bart’s Nightmare, Hit and Run, Road Rage, and the Simpsons Game.
ReplyDelete"The part where Bart tells Otto there’s a “Gremlin” on the side of the bus, and he sees Hans Moleman in an AMC Gremlin. Oh, come on, that’s not even the best part of the joke!"
ReplyDeleteBest part of that scene was when Hans is about to crash into a tree but the Gremlin car stops, and then spontaneously explodes. lol
I'm going to be honest, I've never been a huge Simpsons fan (*gasp*), though I have seen some episodes that I think are funny. It makes me wonder, is literally EVERY season from 2000 onward considered bad or "Zombie Simpsons"? Every time classic Simpsons are referenced, it's always a 90s episode. Nobody ever seems to mention the episodes from the 2000s onwards.
ReplyDeleteThe early 2000’s was around the time the simpsons started going downhill and it didn’t REALLY reach it’s lowest until after the movie.
DeleteThere are some episodes from the early 2000’s I like (The one where they break into The Who’s hotel room is an example).
DeleteThere are occasional gems mixed in, but overall the later seasons (as in 10 or 11 onward) are not very good. The cracks really started showing in Season 9 which, while solid, had some really subpar episodes like an all musical clip show, a Christmas episode that ends with the Simpsons losing all their stuff, and a particularly infamous episode where a popular recurring character is revealed to be an imposter (out of nowhere).
DeleteThe Halloween shows can sometimes be funny, but they're no longer shocking like the early ones, since every possible violent fate has happened to them over the past 30 years. I don't suppose they've ever topped the fog that turned them inside out, more than a quarter-century ago.
Delete@Dan You referring to Seymour Skinner?
DeleteLisa's Sax I believe is one of the highlights of Season 9. Especially the ending where she plays Baker Street.
DeleteAnalyzing Puppet Steve and several times Bores has talked about toys in the past, when Bores talks about a toy that is either brand new or is about a trendy topic, that gets him the views, but when he talks about an obscure toy that no kids are gonna give a shit about, he gets like 20,000 views and sometimes less despite having 700,000 subscribers.
ReplyDeleteAlso I have a theory that Bores has used sub bots before on Puppet Steve. Even though sub botting doesn’t work as well as it did in 2010.
DeleteNew FB-Post.
ReplyDeleteHe also adresses BatDan:
"I just have to say, you Fans are the freaking best. Over the weekend I did something I never do, but me and a friend were doing internet searches of Irate Gamer. I can't tell you the total turn around I have seen online. We were just laughing our asses off. Not sure if anyone is aware but there is an underground IG/AVGN fan war going on with multiple message boards out there and YouTube videos. There are so many combined IG & AVGN fans out there now that they have been constantly going on all the AVGN fan sites and gamer vids and promoting the crap out of my videos. The comments had me rolling.
The fans are like, IG is so awesome right now and the AVGN nazis (and AVGN haters apparently) are flipping out like I've never seen. And my fans seem to know they are getting under their skins and they keep doing it anyway making it even more funny. One guy was like, WTF is everyone defending this guy now for???! hahaha. Seeing so many people coming to my defense in the comments now is very surreal. I saw comments being removed, posts being closed, banned, and one hater blog site (which I'm sure everyone is aware of) has resorted to approving posts before you can comment!! Like WHAT??? HAHAHA. This is the same guy that made some LONG boring 100 page rant about when I do the same thing. What a total Hypocrite. All these guys are. The level of suppression over me right now is amazing! And I know it drives these avgn fans bonkers because there's a huge portion of them now supporting me. So humorous to see them trying so hard to FORCE their points of view on them which just makes my fans come back at them even harder.
Well anyways, you fans are the absolute best. I laughed till it hurt. I can't believe you've been doing all this without my knowledge. I should email James, he'd probably get a kick out of this."
He is more full of himself than Kanye West, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin combined and multiplied by ten.
DeleteI bet James would roll his eyes if Chris sent him an email. Not because of the "haters", but because of Chris.
DeleteAlso there is a difference that Chris fails to realize. Chris deletes and bans ANY commenter either critical of him or with an opposing view. Batdan monitored the comments because people were going on this blog to harass us.
DeleteI just...I just can’t formulate the words to express my absolute amazement at your boneheaded inability to see your own hypocrisy. You’re a really special kind of fucking dumb, you know that? No one harassed you, only criticised, and the comments were moderated. This is the same thing Bores did verbatim and the only thing I’m critical of Dan for doing. I’ll be surprised if this comment gets through but Dan, I’m really disappointed mate. I’m not sure when or what made you think tailoring this blog to suit PrinceMario was the best decision but you were wrong man. And now Bores is rightfully laughing in your face dude. Such a shame. Really quite sad to see that.
DeleteI think BatDan mainly monitored comments because of all the stupid arguments that were blowing up the number of comments. It got to the point where the comment section was full of nothing but a bunch of these dumb arguments that were going aboslutely nowhere. Nobody could have any actual discussions anymore and it became much less fun to comment on here. It drove many people away (including myself, I almost stopped commenting altogether). I'm so glad BatDan finally put an end to that shit. He's not monitoring comments anymore, but it's pretty clear that what BatDan did taught everyone that comments here a lesson on what could happen if things got out of hand (that includes the people who regularly comment here)
DeleteNah bullshit, PrinceMario has been pigheadedly spouting all sorts of narcissistic shit for going on 3 years now and it’s the sole cause of any of this. He’s made it all about him, and when anyone pulls him up on it he cries harassment or runs to Dan begging for the comments to be blocked. It’s a ducking blog nitpicking everything one person does because hay person is a dickhead and funny to laugh at, so anyone commenting here should be open to similar criticism themselves otherwise they’re a fucking toadie hypocrite. You doe a hero or live long enough to see some jumped up little brat male your blog all about him and shitty videos and his stupid questions.
Delete@anonymous First off, I wasn’t doing all that for three years and second only a tiny minority didn’t like when I did that. I realized I fucked up with all that plugging but you can’t seem to let it go and you need to stop pointing fingers at me by bringing that stuff up even if what I comment has nothing to do with my rise and fall videos. No matter how hard you push your agenda, I’m not leaving this blog.
Deleteit took months for you to realise that your plugging was too much, shouldn’t have had to ever be told in the first place but to not get it after the tenth, twentieth or thirtieth time is a joke. Then you accuse him of everything you do as if it’s only bad when he does. Both of you male shit videos, both of you have thin skins and both of you drew short straws in the charisma departments, but he’s still managed to be better than you at all of them. You drag the blog down just by being here and it’s no wonder he’s now got the high ground, just own up to it for fucking once
DeleteI don’t care whether you like me as a content creator or not or as a person or not. I do care when I’m called a cunt by speaking my mind about Bores because people like you don’t like what I comment. I am not the demise of this blog like your mindset says I am.
Deleteso much irony whenever PM posts...LOL. You do enough of bringing past things up yourself, bub. And you STILL fail at reading comprehension. You're lucky you cried to Dan to get that whole comment thread deleted. You're as delusional as Bores, seriously. LOL. JFC.
DeleteLike I said, I don’t care what you think of me as a content creator or as a person. I do care for when I’m called names on every blog post for speaking my mind about Bores. Come to think of it YOU are also like Bores the way you act like a big shot and blame me or Silent Spring or DLA when people don’t agree with you.
DeleteI’m also done having this fucking conversation because this has been going on for months and is going nowhere. You need to leave us alone.
Deletehow have I ever acted like a big shot? I find it interesting every time I've refuted what you say, you've ignored (similar to your boyfriend Bores). You're the one who acts like you're better than so called "trolls" and Bores, on more than one occasion. You went as far to conflate an unrelated unfortunate incident happening to you by trying and even implying it was because you post on this very blog. No one cares about you that much.
DeleteI couldn't care less if they don't agree with me - what I do care about is how hypocritical you, they, (and to a lesser extent) Dan is. How you guys can go around parading like you're better (when you're not) is the most laughable part of it all. Make fun of Bores all you like, but when you are called out for the same shit he does, don't pretend like you don't do said shit nor don't pretend you're so much better.
Again, you continue to make shit up or conflate people because your oh-so high IQ you claim to have, barely can comprehend. I've never blamed you idiots for shit or said you should leave the blog. What I have consistently maintained is that you guys are hypocrites and are no better than bores. That seems to hurt your feelings the most because you guys really think you're better than him for some reason.
I'm free to post here as you are. It's interesting you call it harassments when your snide comments that your Hero bores reads on here could be classified as well. Or when you weren't blocked by him, and you commented on his videos, could be harassments as well. So again, hypocrites.
That's all it boils down to, your hypocrisy. If you don't be a hypocrite, you won't be called out. Same with your idiot friends.
Everyone saw when you got so frustrated you cried to Dan about comments (let us not also forget you did it again on this very post because you can’t even comprehend and commented on a video you didn’t even watch). You did it to yourself, because you can't seem to understand you're just as hateful, hypocritical as bores. You only don't think you are because you post on this blog and you don't publicly say some of the stupid shit Bores does on social media. But in the end you’re more like him you’d care to admit.
Fair play to Chris for standing up for himself, the guy has been treated unfairly and had everything he does over analysed and spun in the worst way possible for far too long. Everything he said seems pretty fair.I dont think hes purely insulting dan for the act of monitoring comments,there are people on both sides who take things too personally and go overboard with insults and personal attacks. I think hes more pointing out the hypocrisy that when he does the same thing, everyone treats him like the worst person on the planet. Ive seen the guy take criticism on board when people actually approach him like a human being, and dont try and attack or manipulate him, he takes parodies as good fun and doesnt take it all too seriously, but just like people taking things too far when commenting here, I think its fair enough for him to ignore, block, and get rid of anything that go too far. Bear in mind as well, this guy got a lot of hate thrown at him and it pretty much popped up over night. Hes not going to handle everything perfectly, and might have made some mistake back in the day, but who wouldnt really?
ReplyDeleteI also see it as a surprise that Chris spoke out like that. I do think some of the hate toward Chris went too far but Chris also continues to say stupid things so I don’t fully excuse him.
DeleteYears ago, Bores said "if you put a microscope to anything, you will find errors...even big television programs like CBS, etc, have mistakes"
DeleteI agree with him on this. I do think he makes some inexcusable mistakes, no doubt, but sometimes people do get a little too nitpicky with him.
@pohger I don't think Bores is actually wrong on that point either. Even I could point out mistakes from all the movies/shows that I love.
DeleteThanks for hearing me out. Yeah I agree too, especially when people already have it in their mind that these aren't just silly internet videos, that he's a horrible person, and what they're about to watch is the most immoral henious thing ever, of course they're going to look at everything and connect dots to make things much worse than they are. I think quite a lot of the posts here are guilty of that.
DeleteNot saying that he doesnt make mistakes, like I dont think his videos are the greatest thing on the internet or anything, theyre just goofy fun with cheesy jokes, but thats what he likes and he embraces it and enjoys making it.Some of them i enjoy, i thought this simpsons episode was great fun actually, some i dont really get into, didnt enjoy his robocop video as much, dont think the new additions to the old reviews warranted it for me personally.
He gets some facts wrong, but from what ive seen, when people bring it up to him and dont take things to far (make it out like hes a scumbag for making mistakes) he acknowledges it.
I dunno if theres anything hes really done thats completely inexcusable, i really do think hes no where near as bad a guy as hes made out to be, especically when they are so many actual bad people out there. But even so I think a blog which can have personal attacks, analyse every single project he does in his life, his social media, his personal life, his believes. I think that things like that go too far, even if it was against someone who has done horrible things. I can think of people who have personally wronged me, and this much attention and hatred i feel would still be unhealthy.
I can't stand it when Chris starts with that "put under a microscope" bullshit. It's one thing to nitpick about minor errors in movies similar to the way Cinemasins does (in that instance, the whole point of the series is nitpicking, it's supposed to be fun). The problem is that Chris gets so many basic facts wrong and sometimes flat out lies in his videos, showing that he has no fucking clue what he is doing. (example: "Super Mario World is on the NES", acting like the Doki Doki Panic/Super Mario Bros 2 thing was a giant secret that nobody knew and a "scandal", intentionally not bringing up the glide ability in Aladdin because "it was funnier if he didn't," those are just a few examples). Most of Chris' mistakes are things that causal viewers will spot and point out in the comments, showing that Chris doesn't bother to do research on what he is talking about. It's not about "looking under a microscope" it's about "looking directly at you while you make basic fucking mistakes."
DeleteChris' videos are the equivlaent of high school student doing a report on a book that he was to lazy to read, where he gives vague/innaccurate facts that he found after spending five minutes skimming through Wikipedia. And then getting a big fat F- after the teacher grades the report. Chris gets a big fat F- on almost all of his videos.
"don't forget to vote"
ReplyDeleteI disagree
Fortunately, as an outsider, I didn't have to vote even if I wanted to!
Delete^-^
Have any of you ever witnessed the agony that is watching Game Grumps play beloved video games? Arin Hanson is basically DSP 2.0.
ReplyDeleteNot for a while. I did check out your channel and had a glance at your Mario 64 playthrough though. Agony doesn't begin to describe it. I'd take an eternity of Game Grumps and DSP over a minute more of your Let's Plays. What exactly IS wrong with your voice?
DeleteI haven't watched Game Grumps since JonTron left. He was the only one that made Game Grumps entertaining. I never really liked Arin.
Delete@unknown I said this to anonymous but I have stopped plugging the Rise and Fall videos but you need to stop bringing my channel up because it’s making the problem worse rather than better. I don’t care whether you or anonymous likes me as a content creator or not. You also need to stop spinning comments I make to be about my channel.
DeleteWow, so you can criticise others but I can't give you feedback? Don't tell me what I need to do you brat and answer my question about your voice.
DeleteI have a New England accent! Like John F Kennedy is an example of a New England accent. That’s why my voice sounds like that and I can’t control that and neither can you. If you don’t like how I sound then don’t listen to me.
Deleteshut up @unknown
DeleteYeah, I know that! Seeing Arin play Majora's Mask, my all-time favorite Zelda, while sucking and whining that people like me are just trying to deny that it sucks is INFURIATING! And seeing him play Sonic Heroes, or Sonic in general.... I blame him for Sonic's downfall! Arin is no better than Phail! In fact, he's just like him!
Delete>.<#
I think Skyward Sword was Arin at his absolute WORST. He died on the FIRST enemies you see on land, he was constantly complaining about the game, he had said on record Skyward Sword holds your hand throughout the game but could not figure out a lot of the puzzles. Don’t get me wrong, I dislike Skyward Sword! I feel it’s motion controls haven’t aged well and the game insulted my intelligence.
DeleteDid Arin really say that "people are trying to deny that Majora's Mask sucks?" What?! Wow, I had already started to dislike Arin because of his comments on Sonic in general, but this brings things to a whole new level. Fuck you, Arin. Majora's Mask is awesome.
DeleteAt least when James Rolfe reviewed Majora’s Mask he was at least REASONABLE with why the game wasn’t his cup of tea even when I strongly disagreed with the review.
DeleteI have been debating whether to continue commenting here. I don’t enjoy reading the comments as much as I used to when half of them on every blog post are people picking fights with readers. I thought this would get resolved when BatDan monitored the comments but people are still at this. And I am aware this is what those commenters want and I don’t give a shit. Don’t get me wrong, I will still read the blog posts.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I think what needs to be done is we need to STOP responding to these people who are clearly here to pick fights. I refuse to ackowledge these dickheads anymore. But if we keep giving and arguing with them, they won't go away. I almost stopped commenting here myself, and that's only because people wouldn't STOP RESPONDING TO AND ARGUING WITH THESE PEOPLE.
DeleteWe NEED to stop giving these assholes what they want and responding to them when they're clearly here to start arguments. Then we can have normal discussions like we usually do. But if this problem stays the way it is, then things will go back to that same shit it was not too long ago.
This does remind me of when Ladybuggin777 used to comment here and when fanboys flooded the comments earlier this year. I thought anonymous might’ve been open to discussion with but now he’s like LadyBuggin where he’s not worth my time.
DeleteExactly. Anytime someone on here starts commenting aggressively and insulting people out of nowhere, they are clearly a troll whose just looking to start a fight. Those people can not be talked to normally and trying to reason with them is pointless. So we need to stop giving them what they want.
DeleteYou’ve got a point! I don’t care what people think of what I put on YouTube. I do care when I’m called a cunt for speaking my mind about Bores.
DeletePeople like JMC1396 are different since he ISN'T acting aggressive or insulting people. He's likely just a regular fan of Chris defending him (not a fanboy, just a regular fan). It's okay to talk to people like that. But once they start resorting to petty insults, it's time to end the conversation.
DeleteYeah! I’ve been pretty reasonable with him! He gets a pass as he does give legit points and not saying we’re like Bores.
DeleteHonestly, I don't think the commenting problem on here is nearly as bad since there seems to only be two people still trying to insult others (the Unknown guy and the Anon guy), so I don't think it's quite time to give up on commenting here. Just ignore these trolls and they'll stay off the blog for good.
DeleteConsidering Chris had made it clear he's read the blog before and somehow knows that BatDan started monitoring comments, it's very possible he's one of the trolls who is posting here. (Chris claims he only started looking at the blog over the weekend, but BatDan actually stopped monitoring comments LONG before that, not to mention that BatDan didn't announce in any post that he was doing that, making it VERY likely that Chris tried to post here himself). Don't give that narcisstic idiot what he wants either
Exactly! I was about to say that Anonymous and Uninown are writing a similar way Chris does and using similar phrases so I would not be surprised if one of them are Chris. If it is Chris then I know he knows about the Irate Gamer video.
DeleteSpeaking of which, LadyBuggin777 hasn't made an appearance in years (at least I don't think "she" has). Did Chris finally realize that he wasn't fooling anyone with "her" and decided to retire "her"?
DeleteCome to think of it! Bores said in the Facebook post the EXACT same thing the trolls are saying that we’re like Bores. As for LadyBuggin777, he retired “her”when “she” was banned from commenting on this blog.
DeleteYep! Sounds about right! Chris is such a narcisstic, pathetic coward. But then again, what else is new?
DeleteWhich brings us back to The Rise and Fall of The Irate Gamer that blew up earlier this year. If Chris REALLY watched the video in full, he’d know I gave an unbiased take on his channel and even said the Rob The Robot controversy was a coincidence.
Deletelol, oh look announcing that you might stop posting. That self importance complex at it again. Your comment @unknown was ridiculous too, exactly the type of shit I've been saying. You, like your boy Bores think you're excluded from criticism of any kind.
ReplyDeleteI'm just gonna laugh if you try to pin this on people saying you should leave (when I don't even recall anyone saying that to begin with) when you literally just said you wanna leave yourself.
During his most recent Facebook rant, Chris said this "There are so many combined IG & AVGN fans out there now that they have been constantly going on all the AVGN fan sites and gamer vids and promoting the crap out of my videos."
ReplyDeleteI went through the comment section on AVGN's old Dick Tracy video. Out of several hundred comments, I found only three comments that even acknowledged the crossover between AVGN and Irate Gamer. "So many combined IG & AVGN fans." Definity, Chris, definitely.
Chris also said the following in the post “I saw comments being removed, posts being closed, banned, and one hater blog site (which I'm sure everyone is aware of) has resorted to approving posts before you can comment!! Like WHAT??? HAHAHA. This is the same guy that made some LONG boring 100 page rant about when I do the same thing. What a total Hypocrite. All these guys are. The level of suppression over me right now is amazing! And I know it drives these avgn fans bonkers because there's a huge portion of them now supporting me. So humorous to see them trying so hard to FORCE their points of view on them which just makes my fans come back at them even harder.” So there are a couple of things I’ve noticed!
Delete-Chris likely IS one of the people commenting here with insults.
-Chris is encouraging his fans to harass us.
-The term “what a total hypocrite” is what people like anonymous has been saying for months so he could be Bores.
-Chris knows about the comment monitoring but claims to have only checked the blog over the weekend making it clear that Chris likely tried to comment here or IS one of the people commenting here.
And I reiterate, BatDan STOPPED monitering comments long before last weekend. AND BatDan did NOT announce he was doing this in any one of his posts. It was only mentioned in the comment sections...of a few posts. So how would Chris have known that BatDan started monitoring comments at all? So that can only mean one of three things:
Delete1. Chris read through the comment section of an older post that acknowledged the comment monitoring rather than read a more recent post...for some reason.
2. One of his fanboys told him about the comment monitoring.
3. Chris WAS one of the trolls who was spamming comments on here a while back. And he realized that he couldn't do that anymore when BatDan started monitoring comments.
Don’t forget that when Chris said “my fans go after them even harder” he is implying that he enjoys the idea of his fans going on this blog to harass us and is encouraging it.
DeleteFor reference, I looked back through some older sections. BatDan started monitoring comments on the "How to Further Kill All Your Good Will. More Old Cereal!" post back in September. After that, the comment monitoring wasn't even acknowledged in the comment section until the "Who Knew Vengeance Could Be So Boring?" (the one about The Punisher) where Prince Mario stated "Let’s try to avoid BatDan having to monitor the comments again." implying that BatDan had stopped monitoring comments by that point. So Chris is saying that last weekend he randomly looked through the comment section on that Urkel cereal post but didn't look anywhere else? Not even the most recent post?
DeleteChris, you aren't fooling anyone.
I’m actually REALLY looking forward to see what BatDan says about this. It’s inevitable he will address people saying he’s like Bores.
Deletechris is a poopyhead
Delete^ Finally someone had the strength and fortitude to say it. Meme on young boy, meme on.
DeleteEasiest solution. Do not respond to people obviously here to pick a fight. Ignore them. Responding is what they want.
ReplyDeleteAnd if they claim they aren’t a fan of Chris, that’s a lie! No one would claim they aren’t a fan of someone then pick fights with people critical of them.
DeleteThat's right, BatDan!
Delete"If they claim not to be a fan of Chris that's a lie"
DeleteThat is seriously the stupidest comment I ever read.
Not everyone who defends Bores is a fan of his.
Over on Puppet Steve Bores has dressed as Batman again. And he still continues to hide that he’s Puppet Steve from his Irate Gamer audience.
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/4pjPbkbaYcM
lol and like that my comment gets deleted. Bet when Dan addresses this whatever, he'll ignore that he does delete comments, because it's not okay when cousin fucker bores does it, but it's okay when he does since this is his blog. lmao. hypocrites.
ReplyDeleteI’m gonna say this while being as apolitical as possible but I’m surprised Chris has stood silent on Trump’s now inevitable defeat for re election.
ReplyDeleteFYI Meme Boy 21 is the only person who ever comments on Prince Mario's videos. He has the same written style as the sick fuckhead who was writing nasty garbage a few posts ago at a yone who disagreed with PM. He's either a really twisted little kid or he's a sock of PM's - either way I bet BatDan doesn't do dick about him. As long as PM's precious feelings are saved then everything's fine, nothing to see here guys. @Anon you're a sound bloke, keep fighting your cause mate because you speak the truth, PM, you're a snivelling little twat and Spring, I'm disappointed in you but not suprised. Best of luck everyone.
ReplyDelete@unknown shut up
DeleteIt’s funny to see the comments section become mostly pm/spring/anon/unknown. I think I’ll let it play out a little more before I weigh in, other than to say it’s fun to see pm super fan meme boy jump in
ReplyDeleteYeah! Despite what is being said, I can confirm Meme Boy isn’t a sock puppet of mine. I don’t know this person and don’t write like him.
DeletePrinceMario is the best
Deletechris is a turd
Did James finally acknowledge Chris and his latest AVGN episode?
ReplyDeleteIn his countdown vampires review, when he was typing in the name of his character, he spelled out "diarrhea dickwaffles".
Is that a reference to Chris from his Rob review? I've never heard anyone say diarrhea dickwaffles besides Chris.
Chris clearly based that on "It's like diarrhea coming out of my dick" from TMNT.
DeleteI think that’s just a coincidence! Unless the Screenwave people intentionally put that in the script.
DeleteRemember that neither James or Mike write the episodes anymore.
DeletePM dude you are obviously delusional, anything Chris does wrong you will pounce on no matter how small. But suddenly when it's AVGN it has to be coincidence.
DeleteGive the BS a rest.
Let’s hear it then Gary!
ReplyDeleteAlex Trebek passed away
ReplyDeleteI was JUST about to comment that. That’s a fucking hard pill to swallow for sure.
DeleteRIP Alex, hope Connery isn't driving you crazy up there lol
Delete(That's a reference to SNL Celebrity Jeapordy, not trying to sound offensive)
RIP Alex Trebek. I’m gonna play some jeopardy on snes (via emulator) in his memory.
DeleteGhost Doctor season 2 has begun. He is still mad about that the Travel Channel passed on them for ghost nation.
ReplyDeleteNo spoilers, but his greatest celebrity cameo yet, Ohio's own Wilbur Wright, has an incredibly important message from beyond the grave for the whole world.
DeleteWhen is Chris going to wake up and realize that he's a fucking nobody and his stupid Irate Gamer fans are the only ones that give a shit about him? At this rate, probably never.
Deleteif he's a nobody, you're non-existent. You've cared 10+ years about his doings, that says more about you than it does him. And for what? It's retards shitting on retards. You've got to be around my age by now, so you're a 30ish something guy still at it.
DeleteI just read an article of someone that got arrested for having cocaine hidden in two Lucky Charms boxes and my first thought was “Breakfast is ruined for him.”
ReplyDeleteOT: I was browsing through an old post from 2010 regarding Bores' "Dark Chapters", and I think I thought of a good joke for the image of him holding his arms out and forming a rainbow.
ReplyDelete"Chris Bores sure knows how to use his... imaaaaginaaaaaaaatioooooooonnnn!" Yeah, I know it's an overused SpongeBob joke, but still...
ll Bores jizz and general references to his penis really disgusts me. its especially bad when "pervy Bores" comes out...
ReplyDeleteI actually tried Kid Kook for the NES one time and actually managed to beat it. The thing I remember the most from AVGN’s review is that he got the bad ending where the king dies but I got one of the better endings (I forget which one I got as I tried the game a year ago). How would Chris react to an ending where the character you’re trying to save dies?
ReplyDelete"This game's a cowabunga piece of shee-at!" (tries to destroy cartridge with a BoresBoom)
DeleteChris posted on Facebook that he is having medical issues and there will be a delay for future videos. I wish him a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteChris if you’re reading this, I may not like your content but I hope you recover fast.
DeleteYeah, I really hope Chris is doing okay. Especially in times like this.
DeleteYou don't think he caught COVID-19, do you?
DeleteOh, god, I hope not.
DeleteOff-topic, but anyone have any thoughts on Johnny Depp being fired from Fantastic Beasts and his career likely being over for good?
ReplyDeleteI guess you can say he's in "depp trouble"!
DeleteWhat did he do?
Delete@GagstaLizard95, he lost a case that arose from the abuse allegations from his ex-wife. WB asked him to step down from Fantastic Beasts after that.
DeleteThere’s just one question I have, if Chris has been having medical issues then how did he put up a Puppet Steve video? My only guess is that Chris filmed it days in advance and had the video scheduled but keep in eye on puppet steve to see if Bores is maybe stretching the truth a little.
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/IA21o6tKvCs
I may have said this in a previous blog post but despite what James Rolfe said and Chris has now said twice, the NES Ninja Turtles game REALLY isn't that bad. Yes! It is challenging and yes you can have some cheap deaths. It's just not LJN levels of bad.
ReplyDeleteyou rule PM
Deletelove you
Or Bandai-levels of bad, especially with Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.
DeleteTo me, a truly bad game is nearly unplayable due to broken game mechanics, coding or whatnot.
DeleteUnder that criteria, TMNT is not a bad game but it does have flaws. The hit boxes can be improved and the controls could be tweaked a little. I don't think enough attention was paid to exactly how each turtle plays. And finally, I feel the game is a little too difficult. Especially considering how the IP would have attracted younger players.
But it is not terrible. A skilled player who is a fan of the franchise could have an enjoyable experience with it
Honestly, if someone can play a game and have fun with it, it's not a bad game. If someone doesn't like a game, it just means it isn't their taste. Just like anything else, tastes are subjective.
DeleteI agree with Edge, bad games to me are games like Sonic 06. Games poorly programmed to the point that I question how anyone could gain enjoyment from them.
And even some LJN games I don’t think are as bad as people say they are. Jaws is boring, A Nightmare On Elm Street is playable and controls decently, and The Punisher is actually a good game.
DeleteYea the punisher, jaws, karate kid, noes, F13, and Bttf are great. To my tastes, THQ (Totally horrible quality) have more shitty games than ljn does
DeleteAnd a few foreign companies (i.e. Ocean, FCI) have plenty more shitty games (especially in the NES era) than even a group of "laughing joking numbnuts" could put out.
DeleteYeah! I remember Filmnstuff used to have a running gag about Ocean (speaking of which, what the fuck happened to that man)?
Delete@PrinceMario He uploaded some new videos a few months ago, so he's still around! Hasn't uploaded in 2 months, though, but yeah!

Horribly shameless plug: my take on ig’s Halloween episode:
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/K8B90_Veeks
I have so many questions for you
DeleteI don't mean any of this insultingly so please don't take it as such, it's just that I finally started watching your stuff and I'm intrigued. You remind me of people I've known in my life but obviously much more american and America in general fascinates the fuck out of me and you seem to embody everything that makes it such an incredible place compared to the UK. You strike me as someone who had a generally nice upbringing but raged against the machine so much that you live as a mountain man in an urban setting. The closest I can compare my picture of you to is to thios documentary I saw once about these Canadian homeless guys who raced shopping carts. They lived simply for the thrill of riding those carts and didn't care about housing or anything. Your house, like every house in AMerica, looks like a mansion compared to my flat, what I wouldn't give for a porch/garden. Is this something you work to keep or is it government funded? Again I want to stress this souldn't be taken as insulting and feel free to ignore, I'm just so desperate to know more. Do you work? Please say you don't.
DeleteHey thanks for the compliments in watching My videos. Yeah I’m pretty welfare. About nine years ago I stopped working (well I did work a total of about a year and a half in those nine years) and giving certain fucks. I don’t get any cash from the gubbiment bu tThe city pays my rent (which is 666 dollars LOL), I get $204 in food stamps in $204 in food vouchers (I don’t even use all of it because I don’t eat that much) a $10 laundry voucher and a $35 household items voucher and I think 10 or $15 in Tickets for the welfare wagon. I’m lucky We got that stimulus check otherwise I wouldn’t be making videos because I bought a computer with the money amongst other things. My previous computer, which somebody gave to me, died and I didn’t make videos for like five months or something. I guess I can’t really complain to too much. Oh yeah the porch is great, it’s an apartment building tho so I do have to share it with people LOL
DeleteAVGN- Legend of Kage:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zYLntVHGRw
I personally did not like that episode. Way too much forced anger over stuff James has addressed in past reviews. The screenwave hacks are at it again.
DeleteOn the same day that Chris revealed he is dealing with medical issues he talked about going on a ghost hunt. He claims that a woman was murdered and her spirit wants Chris to share her story.
ReplyDeleteAnd he put up a Puppet Steve video. He is putting IG on hiatus again but is still doing Ghost Doctor and Puppet Steve (he just posted one two hours ago as I’m typing this).
DeleteI have said this in previous blog posts (and will say it again as I have been accused of kissing AVGN’s ass). I think James needs to lay the nerd to rest and move onto other things. There are several reasons why I feel this way. First off James is 40 and married with kids. It’s gonna look pretty sad when he’s 45 and still doing all that forced anger that’s in newer videos. Second, the screenwave hacks are doing more damage to the Cinemassacre channel than any of them or even James and Mike think they do and third, the series has gone on non stop for 14 years. Shows like All In The Family and Seinfeld went on for many seasons then got cancelled as the writers and actors got burned out and later seasons of both shows were inferior.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, it's James' decision if he wants to keep AVGN going. I haven't watched AVGN in a while, but does he look reluctant to keep making the videos? Personally, I don't think people should quit their passion just because of age (the same reason I have no issue with older musicians who decide to keep making music), but if they clearly don't want to be there and are just doing it for money at this point, that's a clear sign they should call it quits (*cough* Simpsons *cough* Family Guy *cough*).
DeleteMy apologies in advance for what will surely be a long reply. I am going to disagree with a couple of Prince Mario's arguments. Firstly, the television industry doesn't really apply here. Successful shows usually cease because the cost of production becomes too high. Cast and crew see the show's success and understandably want more compensation which eventually means the show will not be profitable enough. This doesn't really apply to YouTube.
DeleteI also don't think James' age is a factor. If he can continue to draw a satisfactory income from the show and he enjoys the work, then who cares what others think?
The cinemassacre channel still enjoys growth. An average of 300+ new subscribers join every day. There is clearly a market for Cinemssacre content.
That said, I no longer enjoy AVGN like I used to. In the old days I would rewatch his videos repeatedly. For the last few years I would watch once and never go back.
Personally, I think James should rebrand like former Nostagia Chick Lindsay Ellis. She is arguably more successful now than ever
Seinfeld did not get canceled and was number 1 in the ratings it’s last season, but I understand your point
DeleteHey Chris Bores, if you are reading this, have a happy birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever mentioned this before, but it's my birthday too.
DeleteYep, I share a birthday with Chris. I've known that for a while. But I've never seen it as a big deal.
Happy birthday to Chris and Silent Spring
DeleteHappy Birthday, Chris. Hope you have a great day with your family.
DeleteHappy birthday to both Chris and Silent Spring!
DeleteThanks everyone:)
Delete@Silent Spring Thanks for the comment earlier saying that I've tried to be fair when I've comment here, happy birthday man, hope its a good one!
ReplyDeleteAlso good on yous for being decent about chris bores wishing him a happy birthday, and wishing him the best after his post about his health.
@JMC1396
DeleteThanks! And you're very welcome.
Can I point out that he’s putting Irate Gamer on hiatus but has time to put out six puppet steve videos in a week?
ReplyDeletePuppet Steve is clearly easier, though: very rigid formula of talk about the thing, show the thing, open the thing, play with the thing, put in three or so jokes.
DeleteIt’s probably because he’s been saving up for a Cameo from a third rate celebrity to add to a review he did 10 years ago
DeleteWow. BatDan really did deleted my comment about me saying there's no proof that Chris is a Trump supporter and I'm fine with Trump supporters. Honestly, I'm not surprised.
ReplyDeleteI didn't delete your comment. Quit trying to start shit.
DeleteYou fucking did you liar
Delete@anon It’s not on this post it’s on the next and it’s still there
DeleteI’m so glad I found this blog. The IG irritates me to no end. Refreshing to find like minded individuals instead of the brainless morons who comment on his YouTube videos
ReplyDelete"Anyway, he tried to record it with his VCR because he went on a camping trip but found the tape only contained the first 10 minutes. Followed by a clip from the end of Treehouse II."
ReplyDeleteThat's weird because Treehouse of Horror II aired October 31, 1991, which was a Thursday that year. So he went on a camping trip on Halloween in the middle of week when he was school-aged? Either he's making that up or confused it with a later special.
Simpsons was still damn good after season 10 fool, you're crazy. Also you do realize AVGN has complained about health bars that feel pointless because of how quickly you die as well right?
