iRate Gamer reviewed M.U.S.C.L.E., but neither one reviewed Athena, so maybe I'll review that one next.

you really need to just drop the whole "inspired by the nerd" theme completely. i don't think that's helping your case at all and is probably the reason you are encountering so much hate. do you really need to cuss and make all those references to zoo animals defecating to do a good review?

by the way, i went to go check out your bill and ted's review(which you've already taken down for some reason) and i came across this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysqPqiF71Mo


seriously dude, it's actually getting to the point where people HATE you for blatantly ripping off the nerd.


i probably won't ever be into your reviews as i don't get the impression you know much about the games or systems you are reviewing but you might have a chance at being more successful if you just do your reviews and drop all that "nerd-spired" garbage.

I know a lot about video games. That video was made by a bunch of retards. Okay. I will change the style after I finish the reviews currently under production to see if others like them better.

The best thing about this thread: It died for eight months and came back to life.

I might take it upon myself to bump it once a month for the rest of my life. Seriously... this is a thoroughly entertaining thread. Reading it is like watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. Jokes are made at its expense, but the poor thing just keeps going.

Good lord, I never paid attention to you until I saw that last video linked here (the MST3K riff on the Barbie video)...

He's not trying to rip off the AVGN. He's ripping off the Irate Gamer.

And that's just sad. Very, very sad.

I've blocked you from my Youtube account. I don't want you mucking it up.

Wow. Three dummies in a row. Congratulations. Oh, I don't want you commenting on my Youtube account. Nobody even knows you exist so don't complain if I do muck it up, even though my being there would actually make it better.

Why? Because you're such a youtube sensation? Lol.

Sorry man, your editing is quite good, but apart from that your reviews are really painful to watch. It seems like you've completely missed what makes Angry Video Game Nerd entertaining; his stuff is informative and his anger is funny and (mostly) doesn't feel forced.

It seems like you want genuine feedback but when you get it you ignore the most important part; nobody wants another bad AVGN rip-off. Be yourself, quit trying to be someone else and then people can't rip you for being a blatant copy.

Good luck with your new reviews.

If by "nobody knows you exist" you mean "I'm not obsessed with posting about my ripped-off videos to every forum I can", then yes, nobody knows I exist. ^_^

I upload stuff. If people like it, then awesome. If not, oh well. I'm not losing sleep over it, I'm just a guy who likes to play games.

I'm sorry but your vids suck, needless swearing is grating to the ears, how many reviewers does it take to actually review a game and not swear and rant for 5 minutes never actually describing the game.

The AVGN sucks too, he got old really fast and he is obviously not good at the games he plays. She should be renamed the Angry Video Game Idiot!!!

Obsessed? No. I am not obsessed. I am smart. There is not a reason to not self promote yourself on every website. The more, the better. It works too. My videos have been getting a lot more views recently.

You are rude because you don't want other Youtube users, that you believe have bad videos, to comment on your videos. Since when is there a connection between quality and attitude? Just because you may think one user bad videos, does not mean that you should not want that user to comment on your channel. It's illogical. You do not want Youtube users that are rude to you to comment on your channel. Not Youtube users with bad videos. At least you should not.

I'm not even going to mention the blocking aspect. Blocking a user that has never even been to, nor even written about going to your channel, for no reason. That's just sad.

And a lot of those views are most likely because of that bashing you got by those parody commenters.

No, I read your comments on the video mentioned earlier, and they were more than enough for me to decide that you're not worth the hassle. I only block these people from my account: Racists, trolls, and spammers. And you, sir? You are both a troll and a spammer. Your obsession with getting everyone and anyone to watch your videos is textbook spam. Your replies towards anyone who doesn't like your videos are nothing but trollish.

Bashing? That was not bashing? That was self-embarrassment on their part. If you click on the link in that very same video, you will see my massive paragraph explaining how every comment they made is wrong.

Why are you reading Youtube comments, let alone judging one by their comments? Comments are just letters. They're meaningless. I trolled that video because it's stupid. Hassle? There is no hassle. I am neither a troll, nor a spammer (videos retaining high amounts of illogicalness do not count). Never-the-less, none of this is even your business. You do not block a spammer that has not spammed your videos. You wait. It's like arresting someone for robbing a bank because they robbed a jewelry store. It does not make any logical sense at all. Stop assuming and stop listening to crappy 3.5 star ratted videos.

Also, how can a Youtube member with less than 200 subscribers (that commentary video has only about 900) possibly have given me most of my near 2,000 subscribers and videos maxing near 30,000 views? Do the math. I don't see it. Wait for someone to actually spam your Youtube account before you block them. You don't go around pointing fingers and blocking by automatic assumptions while simultaneously judging one by Youtube comments in horrendous videos. Well, you can, but why would you do that?

Also, do not write that I am not worth the hassle. It's so cliche, it gives me a migraine. It just instantly vanishes with every other statement written by every other human-being in existence.

By the way, I was only fooling around in that video. It was all just for laughs. This is the Internet. Nothing should be taken seriously.

Not that it matters, but you could probably add in "homophobic" too. This YouTube comment exchange from the Barbie review is my favorite:

UkVideo1: Oh and you have a lisp
alexander4488: I don't have a lisp you faggot.
UkViper1: Yes, yes you do.
alexander4488: You're a faggot. I do not. One with a lisp pronounces the "s" as a "th," which I do not.

If you couldn't gauge the maturity and creativity of our OP by his "Game Dude" moniker, then that would probably do it for you.

If you were smart, you would stop doing what you are doing.

Not to be mean, but you dont have what it takes to go beyond youtube without some serious work, and perhaps even a trainer.

1. You gotta work on the lisp, it is annoying and attacks my ears and speakers when I listen to your reviews. It sounds like a depressed version of Andy Dick.

2. You need to work on your vocals, you sound bored and have a "oh how dreeaaadful" dramatic tone when you speak. It pretty much sounds like you have a cold when you speak, try breathing through your nose.

3. Swearing... Swearing is no longer cool, the people that play alot of the older games that you review are no longer 12 years old, chances are they are over the age of 21.

Its not that you shouldnt swear, you just need to learn how and when to use it. You cant just shout out a random "shit" or "fuck" and expect people to giggle like 10 year old catholic schoolkids about it, it needs the perfect time of usage to actually make any sense. Throw some emotion behind the cussword when you use it.


That is all the advice I have for you at this time. You are getting better with the video part, I just think the voicing needs some TLC.

No, I only saw over 200 replies by you. On a video post with more than 680 replies. (Hooray for the count feature on my word processor!)

You say I shouldn't judge people by their comments... and yet you seem to be judging people by the stars in their videos and the amount of subscribers they have.

And Game Dude, I don't think you have a lisp, but you do sound nasal. Not your fault though, just saying.

What video did you watch? There is no lisp. If I was smart, which I am, I would continue forever, which is what I am doing. I'm not a quitter, therefore, I will not be stupid; I will never quit. The rest of your advice is cool.

No. The low star count and low subscriber count only back up their being a total idiot and getting every complaint wrong when there were many other complaints in the video they could have chosen instead. Stop judging by many Youtube comments. Besides, every one of my Youtube comments was a reply to another Youtube comment, which justifies the existence of every Youtube comment I posted. It's not like I just posted a string of useless comments to have a one-man conversation. No. It was a silly conversation with many. So stop judging one by Youtube comments. It's beyond stupid. Watch my videos.
