His anger was exaggerated, but he was channeling his actual childhood frustrations with games like Dick Tracy or Castlevania 2. With videos like Drake and the 99 Dragons, he's an older gamer looking for games to find fault with.yes
It was funny to see a twenty-something become outraged over an old game, but it was also relatable because we had experiences like that. I don't know what I expected, but I thought Three Stooges on NES would be fun. I thought Super WrestleMania on SNES would be fun. That game is the definition of the word unfinished . And we all asked "Who's that?" when fighting enemies in games based off of our favorite movies or cartoon shows.
I like the show at face value. But I understand there's more substance when it has that shared experience quality to it. And, I know I've mentioned this already, but there's a shelf life for that character. A forty-something getting upset rings differently. The anger doesn't feel genuine and, if it did, it would be more sad and pathetic than funny.
The Bugs Bunny episodes were awesome. No idea what some of you are smoking.
yes
perfectly said
To be honest the skits and the the production value stuff isn't why I like his videos. I'm not even overly enamored with the "nerd" character. I actually think he is at his best when he's just being himself and giving background information about the game/developer or whatever and is just talking in a normal speaking voice.I like these part the best too tbh
I started watching his goonies 2 video. it started out well. his review of goonies 1 and the first part of his goonies 2 review are great. he lost me when he began that overly-long skit about the 3D rooms. I tried to get through it, but couldn't get myself to keep watching.

It's bizarre since he's stuck with the brand but for someone who's made filmmaking his life's passion he knows absolutely nothing about it other than liking practical effects and his tech literacy/video editing skills are stuck in the late 90s.
