Is everyone staying safe? I hope so.
Got an update for you! Chris has yet another new series idea that will likely fall flat and die in seven days.
He calls it "Pop Culture Paranormal", and he plans to look at horror movies and see how they connect to his dumb paranormal beliefs.
He first posted it on Ghost Doctor, but now it's on his main channel for everyone to see and mock.
I'm not going to cover it in detail because it's over 18 minutes long and I can barely tolerate his other ghost stuff already. So, here's some highlights.
The first episode covers The Ring, specifically the 2002 American remake. He does briefly mention that it's a remake of a Japanese horror movie, but I feel he would have a better "understanding" if he watched the original in order to get cultural context and subtext missing from the American version. Maybe focus on that more instead of this version.
He claims he had to watch it a second time to really understand it. Really? It's not a hard movie to figure out. Samara (Sadako for fans of the original) had powers, she was abused by her family and thrown into a well, so she used her powers to spread her pain to a video tape, demanding people share it or else they die in seven days. That's why copying the tape prevents death.
During it he constantly shows footage from Ghost Doctor like it's relevant. I'm guessing he did it so he can get his Irate Gamer audience to watch it since nobody still cares. I don't think it will work. Even though the two uploads are only a few hours apart, the one on IG has less views despite having more eyes on it. Face it Chris, nobody in your gaming audience gives a crap about ghosts! Even if you attach a popular movie to it.
Chris continues to show off his toys, with barely related horror movie "icons". I think I know why this bothers me so much. While there are plenty of other collectors that will show it off somehow, they do it subtly. Like they'll change up the background to be something related to what they're talking about, they don't make it the star. Chris has the opposite problem, he HAS to show the toys, even if they have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
As for the video itself, we get more of Chris showcasing his baffling beliefs about ghosts. Like his claim that curses are real and that what happens in the movie can happen in real life. Uhhh no? Unless you're one of those weirdos that believes something like Mereana Mordegard Glesgorv actually hurts people (it doesn't by the way). There's no such thing as a video that can kill you. The closest thing is if someone with epilepsy watches something with a high-frequency strobe effect, and that's an entirely different matter unrelated to "ghost girl in a video tape".
He believes that faces blurring on a photo means something spooky. Isn't that just a camera glitch? Or the person moving when they shouldn't have?
He brings up the sequel, and somehow needed it to conclude that "TV is the gateway". Pretty sure that was settled when Samara crawled through the TV screen.
For some reason, he compares Samara to the ghosts of dead Civil War soldiers. I really don't understand how the two are comparable. He also brings up "genie trapped in a bottle". I know common stories involve genies being bastards, but the two are nothing alike.
The video is utterly stupid and continues to show that Chris' ideas about the afterlife make no sense. Frankly, we don't know what happens after we die, and I know it's scary. But the best we can do is live day by day and do the best we can in life.
But yeah, I expect Chris will make like 3 of these and then give up and go back to trashy Puppet Steve or boring Irate Gamer.
He posted a new video yesterday to the Zombie Steve channel. It's a seven-month-old Minions Lego review by Puppet Steve, with a brief cameo of a few seconds by Zombie Steve.
ReplyDeleteI saw the remake that came out a few years back and I actually walked out 20 minutes in and demanded my money back. I have since watched it in and full and will say for sure DO NOT watch that movie.
ReplyDeleteAnd then everyone in the foyer applauded as the cashier handed you back your money with interest right? While the Japanese Ringu is obviously far superior I thought the American version was pretty watchable and added it’s own flair, unlike most times they remake them for western audiences. The American Old Boy is definitely not worth any of the time and effort it took to make.

DeleteYeah, I heard Rings was very bad, it's also the reason why we never got another Friday the 13th movie. So blame this movie for killing Jason Voorhees!
DeleteRings killed the chances of another Friday the 13th movie? How?
Delete6:09 “Now, it’s no secret that analog TV back in the days would cut off the portion of the edges of the screen when it fit on to the TV.”
ReplyDeleteGuess he has never heard the term “pan-n-scan”, nothing to do with analog/digital. Modern TVs are widescreen, eliminating the need for PNS (huh huh hey Beavis.....)
DeleteNow that I am confident 24KGOLDN will not have a second hit, since me and Silent Spring discussed Todd before, here's how his One Hit Wonderland on Mood will play out.
ReplyDeleteBefore The Hit: To quote Pete Townshend "why should I care? Why should I care?"
The Big Hit: It was fucking annoying and repetitive.
The failed follow up: A couple other singles that didn't chart because people got their taste back.
Did he ever do anything else? Repeat Pete Townshend quote.
Did he Deserve Better?: OH GOD FUCK NO
Soulja Boy:
DeleteBefore The Hit: Like anyone cares!?
The Big Hit: An annoying song about Superman doing hoes
The failed follow up: A bunch of songs that nobody gives a shit about
Did he ever do anything else? Made and sold Chinese clone consoles with shoddy emulators and thankfully nobody bought them and Nintendo even tried to sue him
Did he Deserve Better?: Oh hell naw!
Friday by Rebecca Black
DeleteBefore the Hit: Anyone got anything? Anyone? Anyone care? No? Okay, moving on.
The Big Hit: Rightfully called one of the worst songs of all time. To quote AVGN: "What was she thinking?"
The Failed Follow-up: A sequel song "Saturday" that wasn't even bad enough to be well-known. So...improvement???
Did She Ever Do Anything Else? Haven't heard her name in years, nobody talks about her anymore, nobody gives a shit about her anymore, if she did anything else, it's not even worth mentioning. Again, improvement?
Did She Deserve Better? Does anyone even need to answer that question?
I love how this blog has become a shitty main stream recording artist thing makes me want to puke who gives a fuck about all this shitty pop music bullshit for 10-year-old girls
DeleteIt looks like the deletion here has chilled a bit, pm is even deleting his stuff (it’s killing me wondering what you said pm lolol) so I back earlier than I said I was going, proving my true status of liar and hypocrite. Anyhow I have yet to watch this Boris video (gotta Go to a Wi-Fi spot later today and download that shit to my phone and transfer it to my computer) nor have I read that Dan’s article as I want to make a video on this what is likely an abomination, as to not paint my own view of it before making said video. I missed you all <3. I’ll try my best not to leave any long rambling and edit my stuff down, maybe saying m a lot less fuck and shit will help.
ReplyDeleteHey y’all I just emailed BatDan my (non)fan IG testimonial. I used, as a template/ripped off wholesale Bores style, PrinceMario’s. Here is a the first paragraph as a sneak peek, if BD doesn’t want To use it (in which case I will surely have a severe case of butt hurt and cry and whine about it all over this blog until bat Dan deletes it (joke) I Will make a video with like pretty pictures and the slideshow shit or Relevant video clips or what not, actually I’ll do that regardless of whether or not BatDan publishes it:
ReplyDeleteHello to all of BatDan's readers I'm a somewhat popular YouTuber (if you consider about 7200 views in a bit over 2 years spread across over 300+ videos “somewhat popular”) by the name of TheEmunator/DeathCrustPunkProductions (You can view my channel right here https://youtube.com/user/deathcrustpunk) In this post I'm going to tell my story on how I didn’t love Chris Bores when I was 36-38 and how I continued to dislike the guy, however a smidgen or two less though, as when I first found his videos.
I would at least understand if Chris were trying to make it in the film industry but I think the wake up call to Chris to maybe give up on the ghosts is when first the executives rejected his show multiple times and when he had that premiere that only drew 20 people.
ReplyDeleteI have trashed Arin Hanson numerous times on this blog but here's something positive I have to say about him. As someone that grew up listening to Linkin Park, Arin does nail Mike Shinoda's parts in this cover of In The End.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWVrgeFCwmY&ab_channel=GiveHeartRecords
Good G*d Rest in peace to that guy that committed suicide but goddamn I can’t stand Lincoln Park they remind me of the blink-182 of nu metal (A questionable genre in my eyes I like early slipknot the first Mudvayne album and a few others but most of it’s stupid, I can’t stand that like whiny vocal crap combined with white boy rapping and shitty nu metal riffs , this might sound bad , but that one Blink 182 (Stink 180-spew) singer sounds like a retarded 12 year who just started puberty, in whiny guy in Stinkin Fart is far off from him ( Sidenote I’m really shocked that my voice recognition had no problem with the band name Mudvayne I’ve never spoken it into my phone before weird but it has a problem with lately (weight we)
DeleteIs Imagine Dragons just as infamous and hated as Nickelback and Creed? I swear I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything positive about Imagine Dragons.
ReplyDeleteAs a rock fan I can think of three scenarios why people hate Imagine Dragons.
Delete-They sold out hard and became a hipster beard Maroon 5 in the process.
-Their music is used in way too many commercials and trailers.
-Nickelback and Creed are at least actual bands that play their own instruments and you can't really say the same for Imagine Dragons and Maroon 5 now.
I’m so glad I hadn’t paid attention to main stream music in so long some of these bands are horrible and the ones I haven’t heard sound like they’re stupid as hell
Delete@Gary Sargent You're lucky you don't know much about Imagine Dragons. They fucking suck! In my opinion, they are probably the worst rock band to have ever come out with a full studio album. I would rather listen to All The Right Reasons by Nickelback and Weathered by Creed a hundred times back to back than to ever have to hear an Imagine Dragons song again.
DeleteI'll admit I like It's Time and Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Not top ten favorites or anything, but I do enjoy those two songs. But I'll admit most other Imagine Dragons songs are pretty mediocre at best. Personally though, I'd much rather listen to Imagine Dragons than Nickelback.
Delete@pm yeah I’m glad I’m stuck in the past in regards to many forms of modern/current Entertainment or “art”, my general interest in music stops around early 20o5 with scant few “metal core” bands (As I lay dying (Featuring a scumbag that waiter did time for trying to put a hit out on his wife and that was an (subtly) Xtian band), Killswitch Engage, December etc.)
DeleteAlso was Imagine Dragons that band that Stan was obsessed with on American dad on that one episode? If so I’ll give you my actual opinion on Imagine Dragons or at least what I heard of them on that episode if that is in fact them.
Am I the only one who really doesnt mind Th-th-THUNDAH?
Delete“On the topic of this sticking around, it might hold longer than you think” Yeah really he’s been doing this since before Irate gamer I don’t think he’s going to stop anytime soon as stupid as it is he enjoys what he does and doesn’t care if he makes money off it probably I think he will realize that he makes enough money off puppet Steve to do other things for his own enjoyment whether we think it’s stupid or not be at his bullshit ghost hunting nine cents or irate gamer. It almost makes me some people on this blog don’t understand the concept of doing something because you enjoy it not for money
ReplyDeleteThat said I do think it’s stupid that he put this on the irate gamer channel. He had a Facebook post asking if he should put his ring video on the irate gamer channel I think I saw it after the fact. About 10 people already like yeah do it yeah. I said no don’t if you make a statement like you did on that about that George Floyd whispering thing it’ll affect I read game or negative we please don’t do it it’s for your own good but either he didn’t listen to me not like he has to but he. Dad said I do think it’s stupid that he put this on the irate gamer channel. He had a Facebook post asking if he should put his ring video on the Irish gamer channel I think I sought after the fact. About 10 people already like yeah do it yeah. I said no don’t if you make a statement like you did on that about that George Floyd whispering thing it’ll affect Irate Gamer negative we please don’t do it it’s for your own good but either he didn’t listen to me not like he has to but he Did it
ReplyDeleteSeriously AVGN is suck at such a sucky sell out these days if we ignore personality traits and just focus on what they put up on YouTube Chris clearly has more “!passion” ( an overused term on cinemassacre truth reddit) for IG than AVgn does for anything on cinemassacre, James clearly whom he has a passion for paid ads and money. That That dragon quest video that was 100% an ad despite what he says in the video made me lose my last respective respect for the guy I’m sick of greedy Youtubers see also, colon PoserMetalJesusE-begs, The immortal John Hancock ( the immoral John Handcockjob ) Michael B the AtGameGenie, norm the lazy historian, the list goes on

DeleteAhh what did you say antiyonder?
DeleteJames Rolfe was a believable hero to thousands of fans, but continual misfortune has really chipped away at his image, and no amount of "no time" and "muh kids" can cover that up.
DeleteYea cinemassacre went down the toilet awhile ago and is now somewhere in the sewers.
DeleteAnd would say mismanagement instead of misfortune, the dude lives pretty high off the hog for someone that barely does any work
Delete@Gary Sargent I will say that out of all of Cinemassacre's modern series, Rental Reviews is the one that's the closest to good much like how with all of Chris' series, Irate The 80's was the one that was the closest to good.
DeleteGary Sargent> I understand the problem you have with the Dragon Quest episodes but I get the feeling that you're suggesting that having sponsors in general is morally wrong.
DeleteI'm I misunderstanding?
If anyone thinks his quality is absent/lacking that's fine, but to suggest that it's the same as him being scummy is kind of iffy.
What I'm getting at is that I thought the backlash against Chris went beyond low quality video and more things like:
Delete1. Intentional misinformation on games and making the good ones like SMB2 seem like actual crap titles (small potatoes compared to what else I'm listing).
2. Arguments of plagiarism.
3. Commenting that committing suicide means you're going to Hell.
4. Engaging in combative behavior to other people online like Chris' Ebegging spoof or allowing Archfiends' "Fuck you AVGN" in one of his videos.
5. Taking someone else's footage without permission and credit.
Basically unless he's engaged in behavior/actions like this I don't know if I agree that his slip in quality means he's on par with Bores.
James may not be as low as Chris but mayebevhe is, and they are in the same cesspool. Here’s why the DragonQuest vid is all sponsored ad and James is lying about it. He has the ad part soon after the beginning, maybe from the beginning, Then he says something like ok here is where the ad ends and the video proper begins. Bullshit James bullshit, the whole video is about DragonQuest what a coincidence. Furthermore less than two weeks before that if I remembered the date correctly, his channel had a poll Asking oh hey guys it’s the anniversary of the day that final fantasy seven was released and we were just wondering what our TT series makes you the most chronologically confused? Dragon quest was one of the options as well as mother, Phantasy star, and star ocean. Mother won with 48 % of the vote(I suspect it won because they wanted to see a video about how a franchise with only 3 entries can be “Chronologically confusing”, dq was second with 27%. That poll is still up for viewing on the community tab. The pool implied that they were trying to dodge what’s the next chronologically confused would be (and the last chronologically confused was largely disliked, even Justin Silverman, screen wave guy in Cinemassacre producer, Said the kingdom hearts episode was bad in a mistake or something to that effect. And he said this on Cine massacre truth reddit , Which you should check out if you haven’t, It’s a lot to take in and start with a mega thread and if there’s any topic you want to know about you can search it within that tick Euler sub Reddit. But back to the DQ thing and the poll, a week after the poll the Dq video came out and any James claims he’s been in researching the dragon quest series for weeks as well as playing the games. That’s bullshit. Why did they make that pull implying they were letting the Kansas side on the next chronologically confused, the game that doesn’t win gets a video made about it that they just happen to have a sponsor lined up for. I’m trying to be somewhat short here so hopefully you know what I’m getting it and understand what I’m saying if not I’ll clarify it . One last thing on the DQ thing. James claims he was doing research and playing the games for weeks. Bullshit. It’s known that James doesn’t even play the games on avgn It doesn’t write the scripts so it doesn’t do any research on any games. We are supposed to believe that James suddenly A few weeks before this video had some desire to play all the dragon quest games and do research on their chronological confusion. It has nothing to do with the fact that he had a dragon quest game lined up to sponsor. Bullshit. And again I could say more but I think I’ll keep this short and address the other part of your question in a separate comment so if that shits so long as usual
DeleteI’ll get to that other part in a bit I don’t wanna waste my buzz on this stuff at the moment LOL
DeleteI guess what I'm saying is that unlike your take on the DQ video most comments on here about a new Nerd episode tend to be brief to the point of just being "Piece of crap and I lost respect for James".
DeleteDo all Screenwave eps (since after Earthbound I think) have something morally appalling as the DQ vid?
Eh Maybe not to the extent of that. Maybe not at all. They’re just heavily criticized for various things including the paid ads at the beginning better clearly paid ads that have nothing to do with the video they’re on i.e. ridge wallet, Poor writing bitching about James not being as good as he used to do you know that sort of thing. So no in my opinion. And I’ll get back to your numbered Questions probably at some point tonight LOL since I really have nothing better to do and I’m insomniac and I’ll have more more time for this blog because I got banned from Facebook for four days and this is a few days after being banned for one day in fact it was the same fucking day now that I realize it, for hate speech. Guess what the heat speech was? The phrase white trash. In the context of responding to a picture of a wrestler a white guy, in The ring, with that was probably his manager pouring beer down his throat and no it wasn’t Steve Austin it was some modern guy I know jack shit about (Wrestling: Another thing that I stop watching around 2005 maybe a few years earlier, around the time John Cena popped up, and this was after I start to lose interest in it after Vince purchased the WCW and squandered it as a viable brand, Killed it as an active promotion or even a faction within WWF itself, No it’s nice that he has possession of it and other old Promotions property and releases them on dvd and what not And has given them a lot of respect. After destroying them with his his 80s business tactics. Maybe I’ll put that post that got me thrown in the Facebook link for four days up here, the text of it anyhow.

DeleteBefore I get to #1, I will address this:
DeleteI guess what I'm saying is that unlike your take on the DQ video most comments on here about a new Nerd episode tend to be brief to the point of just being "Piece of crap and I lost respect for James".
I recall when BatDan posted his review of the AVGN irate gamer crossover And That day and said something like what the hell James what are you doing this for this makes me lose some respect for you. And people myself included said Something along the lines of” hey this is what makes you lose respect for him? He’s already done stuff causedPeople to lose respect for him lately “ And I don’t remember what that being said to this. If I recall correctly and maybe print tomorrow you can jump in here for a moment but I seem to recall prince Mario saying he has no shits to give about that guy Anymore at least once maybe more. But yeah general lee people on this blog are too harshly critical of James if you him as nowhere near as bad and not even bad for that matter. And hopefully I’ll clear it up and you’ll see why I think James is pretty bad maybe not as bad as Chris remember these are morals were talking about basically and even idealized versions of them that are hard to live up to. I remember morals are real they’re human constructs. I can’t grab a moral and pop it in the microwave and leave it in there too long and had to clean up all that nasty moral splatter off my microwave. I can’t measure how tall the moral is with a ruler. I can’t get a moral drunk and take advantage of it. With With that said let’s start this list off at number one (I said that into my voice recognition in a cheesy I’m doing a lame Clickbait video on watch mojo top 10 Thing announcer (Like I do in my own shameless plug warning Countdown videos on my channel TheEmunator/DeathCrustPunk productionS, subscribe like my videos and comment on them in that order right now if you would actually want to see these long ramblings an audio visual form not responsible for therapy bills incurred due to the viewing of my channel)
Ok here’s my take on:
1. It may not be intentional but James has made occasional mistakes and presents awesome games as garbage. Let’s look at his review of Double Dragon III. Of course this is my opinion but this game is awesome. Almost as good as 2 and better than 1. In His review (/excuse to make jokes) makes the game sound way harder than it is because he sucks at it. That hurricane kick thing is easy to do. Just rap ababa or bababa, it has a specific command but button mashing ababa works as long as you don’t press both buttons at the same time at any point . I played it on my emulator before I wrote this just to double check as well.He doesn’t talk about the bosses at all or what cakewalks they are.
1. Intentional misinformation on games and making the good ones like SMB2 seem like actual crap titles (small potatoes compared to what else I'm listing). He goes on and on about how many enemies there are. There’s only two enemies on the screen of the time just like the previous two double dragons that he says he can best without dying until the last level in. He says (And this is directly from the video translated text via my phone) “Well anyway using two players is much easierIt’s still a hard game there’s so many enemies on the screen and sometimes it just gets ridiculous”. He implies that there’s more enemies on the
screen into player mode. No. There are still only two enemies on screen at once. He complains about the flicker during two player mode, fair criticism, but then takes in a questionable territory by saying it’s hard to see where anyone is because it’s flickering so bad.I don’t think it’s that bad. It’s not like they disappear entirely in for long enough for them to move a significant distance on the screen for two affect your ability to track soon and it’s only two Enemycharacters to keep track of. Sure James acknowledges that his early videos he often exaggerates the difficulty of games in particular karate kid, one of the easiest games on the NES. No joke give that game a chance. If you have an hour to kill play that game. Within that hour hell maybe even within the half hour you’ll be able to beat that game no problem. Sometimes you’ll beat it easily no deaths. Sometimes you might have to lose a few lives at the checkpoint system is fair enough and you get enough extra wives and you can build up enough special punches and punches You can’t even form for them and remember when you’re fighting people to get them as opposed to the bone in stages they refill your health. Am I pointed sure he acknowledged it sure it was early on etc. etc. but this is what he built the base of his career on these are amongst his most popular videos. He built the basis of his fortune but yes we’re supposed to know it’s a joke but is it really? And Boars as bad as it is with merely a photocopy of James. And let’s remember this James isn’t really a hard-core gamer, definitely not as hard-core as the character of AVGN iS. And don’t give me wrong I think his old episodes are hilarious but per the hilarity now comes from the fact that like the Ira gamer he comes up with someone that sucks at video games and complains about it going back to the Chris is a photocopy of the James thing. Sure Chris ripped avgn, off. Yes he made talk trash about a beloved classic super Mario brothers two in a very stupid ham fisted condescending way. I don’t think I need to go into detail on that video because it’s been ripped to shreds from here to my fucking asshole. James video on double Dragon three hasn’t. I think if we look at it seriously as if it’s a serious video like Batdan and ourselves do to irate gamers videos, Not to mention Facebook comments non-irate gamer videos and possibly some other things I’m forgetting. It would play out or read just like I just rude not to my own horn but that’s how it looks to me that’s a very short video is six minutes not hard to rip apart. And remember both of these guys are talking about all And remember both of these guys are talking about old games that especially at the time most of you were just watching movies with like we’ve been watching them on computers with Internet connections not their phones if I’m mistaken so they would’ve had access to emulators if you’re able to check those games out for them selves without having to pay a goddamn soon other than their Internet bill and decide for themselves. But a large part of both of their audiences at the time we must have a But a large part of both of their audiences at the time were, and in the case of James largely still are, mush head little naïve children. Super Mario brothers two survived Boris horrible video Pretty unscathed, but But double dragon three still has a tarnished reputation in my opinion. I find it hard to believe that so many people think that game is so hard and the spin kick is so hard to do. I think I’ll leave this here for now I hope I made my point either and I’m sure there’s holes that can be talked in this. But they’re both doing the same thing someone copied one of the other ones and they both spread misinformation and profit off it. And yes this is small potatoes relatively. That said there’s a solid argument that I read gamer Neil was worse than either AVGN or regular Ira gamer. He was talking about games and even systems in spreading misinformation On current products that you could just download
Deletefor free. Theoretically he could’ve damaged those products reputations unfairly based off his bullshit knowledge and yes things like stealing video game footage. But that’s another story. One last little thing, to answer your question properly about Boris and his Controversial and possible insensitive statements on Jewwarios suicide, Could you or someone else either copy paste Boris further clarification, if you will, He made when asked about his original comments on that fairly recently as in after he restarted irate gamer, or Tell me which blog post it’s on , Looking it up on YouTube where do you Nigh on impossible at the moment. And I don’t feel like going through the posts to find it LOL but if no one does it soon I’ll do it myself if I have to LOL
DeleteAnd here’s my QuickTake because I never really watched much of it on rental reviews.
DeleteFirst I’ll say this series is How do I criticize but seems to have a pretty small core fans that really liked it. That said I’ve never really watched any or much of it and I barely remember what I did see of it I can’t remember who appeared on it I guess Mike appears on some episodes? So do all three Screen wave stooges? Anyway first of all most of the movies never appealed to me that they were talking about. If I’m not mistaken don’t they mostly talk about mid 90s stuff in the show is more like the Three Stooges show to talk about what movies they liked and it was a lot of talking over James in a lot of rambling and what not and apparently that Tony guy laughs and annoying Manor. That said the only specific part of that show that stuck in my brain was the first episode and I don’t even remember what movie they talked about. First I’ve actually lost my Internet for a while and by that point it already lost interest slightly in AVG in a bit and I don’t remember why exactly I don’t remember exactly when but I think it was around the time that booty and Mike was just ending. Well anyway at one point I watch the first one and my first thought was who the hell are these guys they didn’t strike me as interesting. And I thought I remember right there was the concede that the Kirin guy was like a customer it may be gone the other guys was in something like that and it seemed awkward? So that’s all I can say about it. Also that concede of it being a store that those guys are customers In a store James Runs, did they keep that up very long question
I like Norm the Gaming Historian's videos.
DeleteI think if he was trying to make it in the film industry he would be making films, not ghost hunting Tv style videos and ghost “documentaries” and submitting them to people in the film industry instead of tv execs
ReplyDeleteHere's a fun game - go to akinator.com and see how quick you can get him to guess Chris Bores. Mine was 48 guesses
ReplyDeleteSorry I meant 48 questions. There was one incorrect guess...DSP!! :D
DeleteAkinator is pretty amusing.
Delete"TV is the Gateway..."
ReplyDeleteWhat does Bores think Persona 4 is based on a real story?
Cause if so he must try to watch TV in the rain at Midnight a lot
Let’s get a little deep for a moment. Here is a common I made in response to the question “if God is our father why doesn’t he show his face?” on a Facebook called Lies of Religion (with a small addition and typo fixes):
ReplyDeleteIn Biblical times, our father did show his face to scant few of his most favorite sons if I can remember. He is our dead beat dad that gave us his favorite son Jesus (through commiting an act of incest with his favorite most pure virgin daughter, Mary) (Jesus is our brother if we are gods children) and said here’s your new brother I bet he will be really awesome and help out this fucked up family, I’ve done all I can, see ya! (And his relationship with the children before Jesus was already quite distant.) Jesus did the best he could to help out his family and keep us together, but like all mortals he died, unfortunately far too young and also in a very brutal way that was totally unwarranted. The real question is who is the mother he left to deal with us on her own? The Earth we live on that he abused with his plaques and floods and diseases because some of his children misbehaved, not realizing he’s was also hurting the ones that are behaving as well as the mother, and may be overdoing the punishment of those that misbehaved, leaving her damaged and less capable of taking care of us than before while dead beat dad takes his favorite kids to paradise (including of course Jesus, his most perfect son in his eyes,) and condemns the ones who are bad due to his poor husband and parenting skills?

Delete@Gary Seems to me that you want a personal dick-holder for when you use the bathroom and does dog-and-pony shows upon your commands.
DeleteAlso, God never promised to show Himself to anyone. I don’t know what drugs you need to be on to get that idea.
I think you’re missing the point of my what I said I don’t need a personal did a cold or it’s gross that you’re mine even goes, Kind of perverted. But But if thinking about me going to the bathroom does it for you he whatever. God never promised anything because he’s not a real thing. Even if there is a god what are the chances that it just happens to be as described in the Bible which is the only proof of anything that is in the Bible. And when I can improve I’m talking about the more outrageous stuff like the fact that there’s even a God to begin with. Yes my spoof of your beloved religion they have been a little graphic but I didn’t talk about Jesus’s dick directly or gods do you guys use the term incest, And you’re missing the point if God is our father and all powerful how can your excuse the well daddy knows best come on me and use your noodle. That’s great if you really believe there’s some force that gives a flying fuck what you’re doing is going to drag you to heaven as long as you believe in it and abide by whatever rules it made. Or maybe you’re one of those believers that thinks because you were baptized saved and freed from sin that means any sin like behavior is automatically forgiven . It’s a dangerous tool and that’s exactly what religion is a tool to control the masses come on get with it. And that’s great if you believe that there is something that’s going to do that shit but come on what are the odds that it’s the same thing as written in the Bible. Maybe there was some God maybe it’s still exists. Maybe it’s that missing Tiny fraction of a second in the theory of Cosmlogical inflation; known in more pop science like terms as the big bang theory. Obviously religion is a stupid argument because it’s something we can’t prove until we’re dead. It isn’t that what religion ultimately is death worship,? This guy died to save us so that when we die will be happy forever or something like that the Bible is a little vague about heaven although it does give it’s exact dimensions and it’s relatively small. I’ve rambled on enough and this is actually the last day I’m gonna have like a Phone with Internet so you’re gonna be free from my nonsensical rantings for a while until I get that sweet sweet stimulus welfare money and can actually get my computer online but who knows when that will be. We are all maybe I’ll continue to talk on here throughout the day but I don’t know if I’m gonna really have time to or the energy for that matter LOL take care you all I watch this fucking log still and copy it to my phone when I’m out of Wi-Fi spot and I might even do videos on the fucking
DeleteThing like respond to comments it might be easier in my situation atm. Thanks for your white bass I think my luxe change with you or making a music video and I’ll try not to resort to childish-ish name-calling And assumptions like you did. And just to contrast your reaction to what i wrote, here is a reply I received on that page, Paraphrased a bit: That would be a fair statement only if you’ve read the Bible And understood it as a whole.Not taking scriptures in isolating it to fit our narrative. As Christians We question God his plans His timing as well we lose patience we lose faith.So I get it. Are you an atheist? Spiritual? That’s fine example of a Christian that can actually read something and not resort to perverted name-calling or whatever that is. I think you get the point of what I’m saying here. Also one quick question radio white bass how does making fun of or criticizing in the form of making fun of people like Rush Limbaugh make me a racist? I’m white as are they as far as I know? Then again After talking to my sister that I didn’t know about that my mom put up for adoption before I was born recently I think I might have more Native American blood in me than I thought So maybe you’re right man I don’t know I know one thing you’re definitely right wing You must be off the charts right wing if you think Donald Trump was too easy-going or something
Delete@Gary Your kind belittles us and goes as far as to kill us... one doesn’t simply have to look to the Second World’s abuses (not that anyone knows about the Iron Curtain), Plutarco Calles did the same. Over 100,000,000 dead in 100 years.
DeleteBeing part of the international Church doesn’t mean I’m a certified doormat. You HATE it when we stand up for ourselves, because you assume the “turn the other cheek command” means that I should just sit there and take your abuse.
Also, even if someone were to somehow film anything from the biblical period through time travel or whatever, you would still dismiss it.
Since we previously talked about Nickelback, I just found out that Silver Side Up by Nickelback sold just as many copies as Pearl Jam's Vs (which has some of my favorite songs of theirs on it). I hope there are Vietnam style flashbacks for the people that bought Nickelback over Pearl Jam.
ReplyDeleteSo, fun fact:
ReplyDeleteNow is not 2006. Now isn't even in the same fucking ballpark. People change, grow from their young and stupids, and move on from what they once did.
And then there's Batdan, who doubles down on his behavior. Chris stopped making the series years ago, and only started back up because the guy everyone said he was bitter at said he should because he enjoyed it, despite being a derivative. Meanwhile, this blog has been doing the same shit and posting the same fucking drama for years, even after Chris retired. Normally I'd use this as an opportunity to say how you can learn and grow as a person, but considering you've done this for nearly 2 decades, I think that ship sailed long ago.
The reason Chris still gets hate 13 years later is the fact that Chris can't learn from his mistakes and blames everyone but himself for Irate Gamer's downfall. Chris even more recently false flagged a documentary made about him that was completely unbiased. I don't think the fact that "It's 13 years later" vindicates everything Chris said and did.
Delete-I don't think the fact that "It's 13 years later" vindicates everything Chris said and did.-
DeleteNo, but it's a damned good reason to move on with your life.
I never see people whine about Chris Chan's whole life being documented on the internet. To this very day, people continue to document every little thing that Chris Chan does (then again, unlike Chris Bores, Chris Chan is actually entertaining, in a "so bad, it's good" way of course). And it doesn't get an ounce of criticism (again, because it's entertaining to read). All BatDan does is document notable things Chris Bores does on the internet and people whine about him "not moving on". Makes no sense to me.
Delete@Phil I've heard every excuse of people with this mindset and here's my response to all that.
Delete"You can't make fun of Irate Gamer, him and AVGN are friends." Only Bores has said that and Chris often stretches the truth.
"It's been 13 years and you're beating a dead horse." Chris still makes videos. Somebody will say something even without this blog.
"But he's gotten better." Lol! Based o what I've seen on Gary Sargent's channel and in the crossover, Chris is as stale as ever. Plus his gaming skills haven't improved and he still comes off as clueless on the subject.
Fuck, and I thought we already got rid of Jack Thompson.
ReplyDeleteYou know what's sad, I used to be this way about M-rated video games and I deeply regret it! I still can't believe they're still pulling this excuse out of their asses, 25 years later!
ReplyDeleteBehavior like that in 2021 is simply unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteFigures! Politicians want to feel like they're doing something important, but are too cowardly to actually DO something positive to the people, so instead they attack video games! Those losers need to grow up!

Thoughts on the Diamond and Pearl remakes?
ReplyDeleteOff topic, but have you guys took a look at the Diamond/Pearl remakes, Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl? There’s also Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
ReplyDeleteThey wont be able to succeed because video games are protected under the first amendment. It's been tried at least 3 times and failed each time. This won't be any different so don't worry.
ReplyDeleteI love Chuggaaconroy and TheRunawayGuys but I have been marathoning their Star Fox 64 playthrough and watching Emile play Star Fox is almost Arin Hanson levels of infuriating. I can beat Star Fox 64 without dying a single time except maybe Area 6 or Hard Venom but it took Emile 3 Game Overs just to do the easy path.
ReplyDeleteAt least ProtonJon and NintendoCaprisun were there to balance it out! Dan can't hope to accomplish that! Besides, was Chugga hating on the game?
Delete-_-
Chugga wasn't trashing the game but I couldn't stand the playthrough for other reasons than Arin Hanson. Emile shot Falco more times in one stage than I do in any playthrough (he shot Falco 4 times in Fichina)
DeleteBores' latest post:
ReplyDelete=== Well just recorded a new episode of Irate Gamer today. Had a lot of fun with this one. So glad that you guys still watch these. I remember a time when I would only get 10,000 views on an episode during season 5. Pretty amazing to see they reach around 40k in the same amount of time since my comeback. I think this was the most episodes I've ever done in a season too. I guess the motivation is high when I only get maybe 1 or 2 hate comments every couple of days now. But as long as you keep watching, I'll keep making more! ===
He's exaggerating the numbers to make himself look good. I checked those Season 5 videos and a lot of them have 100k views (a higher number than 10,000).
DeleteHe wrote "in the same amount of time". The season 5 episodes have been on youtube for 5 years... so of course they have more views.
DeleteJust listened to James Rolfe and his band do a cover of Power of Love. Knowing Doug Walker's take on Pink Floyd and being an amateur guitarist myself, I was INCREDIBLY skeptical but it's actually a good take and James is a pretty good guitarist.
ReplyDeleteYou're never too old to try new things.
DeleteOT: What's everyone's thoughts on Raya and the Last Dragon?
ReplyDeletePretty cool. I won't mind watching it again.
DeleteOT: Does anyone here that think that Fredrik from Down the Rabbit Hole and Blameitonjorge should do a collab? I think it would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI still think Bores should get his own Down The Rabbit Hole. Though if a Down The Rabbit Hole is made on Bores he would either try to false flag it or would try desperately to get Fredrik's audience.
DeleteHow many times is Chris going to say "iconic" in his reviews? It's just as repetitive as him saying "Oh, come on!" in every single one of his old reviews from 2007-2016.
ReplyDeleteThat can be a new drinking game. Take a shot every time he says iconic.
DeleteYou just missed the wave of whiny fanboys of Chris that flooded this blog after Chris' return. I think one commented earlier in this thread.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think that Chris likely lives in a different house now than when he was doing the 2007-2016 episodes?
ReplyDeleteDunno. Does it really matter though?
DeleteDump of Bores' latest posts:
ReplyDeleteMarch 9: === I'm looking for someone that can make a custom detailed 16-bit sprite for my next review. If this is something you think you can do, please private message me. If I use it, I'll provide compensation. thanks! ===
March 10: === Just recorded segments for Irate Gamer season 2 commentaries. Tons of awesome videos coming very soon. So much in production right now! ===
March 11: === I recorded a new episode today. You guys are going to love this one. I felt magic in the air around this one. This really felt like a 2008 episode. Give me about 1-2 weeks on this! ===
New IG video...Chris just looks at a bunch of video game books.
ReplyDelete"Everything he releases in this Omnibus is in two parts... he has one for the NES, and of course the SNES."
Delete-Chris Bores helpfully explaining
"I would have been a pig in heaven."
DeleteWTF does that even mean?
Can't wait for his review that he said that felt like a 2008 episode. Does this mean we'll see the return of the raging cheesefest we had from 2007-2016 or more of that IG Neo borefest from last year?
ReplyDeleteLatest FB-Post:
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to announce that this summer, The Irate Gamer show is going in overdrive! I never thought I’d release so many episodes in one year (probably the most ever in the history of the show) and the creative side of me has hundreds more ideas ready to churn out faster than I can work on these! I’ve always wanted to get to a point where I could release a new episode every 2-3 weeks but time was always an issue with a show that is so time-consuming. So, this summer, I'm going to try my best to have an episode doled out every 2-3 weeks. I've got enough staff helping me out now helping to share the load that I think I can make this can happen.
That being said, this is going to be a trial run because I have no idea if there is even high interest level on retro reviews outside of the avgn crowd. The continued fast pace of these episodes will depend on how my channel grows and if it can meet or exceed my expectations. I’d love to get to a point where every episode gets around 100k views per episode within the first months release which I know takes time, especially since being retired for 5 years, I pretty much had to restart from zero watchers, but if this keeps growing by the episode, I'll keep moving this train forward since the work schedule for something like this can get grueling. But I’m going to test run this and see where it goes.
I know you guys are loving this new reboot so if you want more, I’m going to need all the extra support I can get, so I hope you guys can help me in spreading the word about the show and the content. YouTube is such a hard place to grow nowadays for channels my size and reach with so much content, plus there’s the added adversity of the hater mindset from the early days. But even if this works out or not, I still thank you all for all your continued support and love for me and the show. I am humbled by it all, especially with everything that’s happened during this last year. I feel like I’ve finally been able to show my true gamer side and passion for this genre and not be crucified for it. This is my way of giving back to all you guys. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I said this on Gary Sargent's channel but if Chris does Metroid I might rip Chris a new one in a reaction video. However it would depend on if his Metroid review is a rage fest or a snooze fest (if it's the latter I'm not bothering).
DeleteNew AVGN video
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJAKd4hg_m0
New AVGN episode is up (Shrek game for the GBC). It was a strange episode. Only 3 minutes of it had anything to do with the game. Maybe he could have done it like Nathaniel Bandy and cover multiple Shrek games.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree. Then again, most of the Shrek video games I think are either decent or just OK at best.

ReplyDeleteNewest FP-Post:
ReplyDeleteNext Episode Hopefully tomorrow! Batten those hatches! Looks like war ensues by the end of the episode! (Btw, I have spent wayyyy too much time on the special effects on this one. Definitely feels like a 2008 episode to me!)
He is posting a lot lately.
When will Chris realize that Special Effects do not equal good?
DeleteUpdate:
Delete=== Looks like the new episode will be uploaded tomorrow. I hit a snag in production that I couldn't fix by the end of the day. Sorry guys! ===
His new video is up and it's on godzilla and King Kong games and boy is it awful
ReplyDeleteIs it the return of the ragefest unfunny so bad it's good IG or is it just another borefest cringworthy so bad it's boring IG?
Deleteit is a little bit of both
DeleteHis new episode is up and by god it's a bad one. It makes some of his older reviews look like the first three seasons of Spongebob in terms of humor.
ReplyDeleteSomething odd about the first Godzilla NES game. Chris does not use Godzilla's breath weapon or Mothra's wing weapon. Only after he mentions gameplay videos on YouTube does a brief clip of the breath weapon show up. Borrowed footage?
