"What... you can walk over it? You are scum"
Anyone remember the countless shitty NES games? This guy does... and he reviews them.

and yes, you can just walk across it. I assumed anyone who isn't inbred would figure that out within, at least, the first three tries. moron.
I did add something. Watching this guy drink and curse is about as bad as playing the games. Some of them were created by guys playing around in their basement for a few months. It's strange that Nintendo approved them. But hey, gotta love the 80's. They dominated, so I'm sure there was no loss.
And no degree. I'm self-taught.
I seriously hope this was ment as a joke, at least then it's a little less sad than if he's actually trying to be serious.
And the vulgur language was an added plus for me, mirroring my experiences playing these old games again.
Actually as someone who doesn't come into contact with very many english speaking humans, I found his language entertaining.
Hawken, just what kind of english speaking beings do you come in contact with?
he's got a few entertaining curses, but he parses them out like it takes a full 30 seconds to come up with each one. the reviews are full of dead air (music maybe?), and i could do without the affected disaffection of him taking a hard man's swig off of that Rolling Rock. You got an endorsement deal?
i'm not saying i could do it any better, but these videos are pretty much baseline Youtube mediocrity. as we know from comic greats, not just anybody can rant and make it entertaining. watching these videos you get frustrated at the game, sure, but he doesn't particularly add anything to the equation besides a slow dose of nerd-whine. he just doesn't have much charisma, or speaking ability, or anything to play off, like another person. hell, just have your mom edge into the frame once in a while. i know she's somewhere in the house. oh wait, no she isn't; otherwise that refridgerator wouldn't be so embarassingly empty.
that's one of the saddest things about all these videos that people have recorded by themselves over the years, predominantly on webcams: they show a solitary person, sitting at a computer, talking to us, who are usually solitary, sitting at a computer. in this case, he's set his sights on some real hard targets: 20 year old shite games everyone knows to be fairly shite. it's been done, and it's been done better.
the lesson of the internet is that even though we can all record our own thoughts and opinions in our blogs and post our own lonely, stilted NES game reviews on Youtube, it still takes effort to make it good. Entertainment might take up way too much of our time already, but the least we can do is demand some fucking quality, some passion!
how's THAT for nerdrage?!
geez, is there anything more impotent than expressing an opinion in an internet forum?

Just arguing flat out on an internet forum?
swearing is his 'thing' i suppose but yeah, very stilted usage. like he never swears except for these videos.
i think id rather hear that low energy noise from the turtles game for the next 5hrs than listen to the rest of those videos.
what a waste of bandwidth
there ive added to the sadness
Hehe, personally I found those videos mildly amusing. Mainly because I think it's funny to watch people get frustrated playing hard/shitty games (especially when they were made 20 years ago). A few cool swears but I wouldn't give the guy any acting awards.
Yeah, it is acting. It's called a character.

Oh snap, he just insulted actors everywhere, you gonna take that actors!?
Yeah, it is acting. It's called a character. This guy is playing the part of a nerd. And if he had a whole party of people around him he wouldn't seem much like a nerd would he? Nerds have no friends. Therefore there are no other people. It is scripted, but wouldn't it have to be? if you were making a video game review wouldn't you write it out first? His reviews are hilarious and effectivly point out alot of problems with these old games. And he does it in an entertaining manner. Can't wait for more reviews.

Welcome to the forums angry nintendo nerd!
p.s 'entertaining' is entirely subjective and er, what gauss said. Besides, even if it is 'in character' acting, I don't find it a particularly convincing nerd. Nerds tend to be cleverer with the spoken word, and lack social confidence. This is all just a bit too base and teenage for my liking. Much more loutish than nerdish.
Justin I watched that other game reviewer you linked. That guy is awful. with an annoying accent.
and stoofoo, i don't get the beer drinking either. thats one thing i don't like about the nintendo nerd. i dont picture nerds drinking beer. but whatever, other then that i like his reviews.
