i went with my younger cousin to trade a fairly new NCAA Basketball game about a year ago, dude looked up the price for it, it was about $13 I believe. This was a Friday night and the store was pretty busy (it's in the mall). The guy at the counter, obvioubly not thinking, hands my cousin the receipt, the money, and the game. I grab my cousin and push him out of the store before he can stand there and look anymore dumbfounded than he already was. We made it out of there before the clerk realized the error and said anything and neither of us have been back since. So next time you think about people getting ripped off at Game Stop, think about this:
Game Stop - 0 Me - 1

half.com is where I sell my old games. Sure I have to deal with the hassle of shipping them, but considering a good portion of my job is shipping products I have easy means to do it.
GameStop is an annoying place to go in anywhere, however they do serve a purpose and if you treat them like say... a clothing store the relationship changes. If you go in knowing what you want, you get it, and you leave ASAP they're nowhere near as annoying. Yes I will agree that their policy on trades is a big thing of bullshit and chips, but if you don't feel like dealing with the joys of online selling there are always pawn shops which usually do offer better deals. |

54-1. Well that's it folks, this moron makes up the rest of the whole goddamn list because he f*cking deserves it So yes, my list is finally complete. It sure has been a long ride. Ohhhhh ok, I'm not being serious. I'm not THAT lazy. But talk about the most retarded review ever. I mean, sure, Youtube is full of no talent hacks who stupidly write off any classic game because they suck horribly at it playing the ROM they downloaded 10 seconds before the review. But this guy stands out solely for being the worst of all the AVGN ripoffs. I mean sure James makes immature poop jokes, but at least he's funny, knows how to write an actual review and most importantly he knows what a bad game actually is. But maybe I'm expecting too much from a guy who actually said he has some expections for Duke Nukem Forever. But anyway, as you all have noticed, it opens up with a Puddle of Mudd song and that alone sums up this guy's level of intelligence. Now for those few who can even make it that far. Never mind this guy's total lack of charisma, his horrible execution, inabillity to write either an entertaining or insightful review and the most groan inducing attempts at humor since Carlos Mencia got a tv show. Never mind that he's the worst AVGN ripoff ever and sounds like a retarded, charmless, unfunny, tourettes afflicted version of Bill Murray's character from Caddyshack and with the most pathetic attempts at being "angry". Never mind that he dosen't even know what the word "Loop" f*cking means. Never mind the most overforced and failed attempt at sarcasm in the history of sarcasm. Never mind those wretched breathing sounds he makes because he's so goddamn fat. What bothers me most is how this guy dosen't even know how to play the goddamn game, not even a terribly difficult one at that, he doesn't even get the simple f*cking mechanics of it. Some reviewer huh? First off, this guy sucks at this game on the most epic level I've ever seen ANYONE suck at ANYTHING. I'm dead serious. I mean, you'd think by using quick saves like the talentless blob of fat he is he'd at least figure even the most obvious things out. Here's a list of the things this idiot couldn't figure out. 01:05. You're supposed to attack the robot and free your captured buddies 02:17. The cat guy is invincible when he's flashing and he's only vulnerable when he's worn out after dashing out at you 03:15. Those doors you stupidly passed by? Gee, didn't you think they were there for a reason? THEY TEACH YOU THE MECHANICS OF THE DAMN GAME!!! 03:58. Really? It took you THAT long to figure out you were supposed to grab onto the orange ball guy under the platform? Was it THAT cryptic to figure out? Well the game would have explained that to you anyway if you weren't such a spoiled impatient c*ntbag 05:49 The spiked head allows you to climb up walls 06:00. The reason you can't go down that tunnel is because.... you can't, you're not supposed to, it dosen't go anywhere, it's just where enemies spawn from......... uh, duh? 06:23. The knight guys are only vulnerable when they lift their masks up to shoot at you, and you can't hurt enemies by jumping on them 06:50. To cancel your current head item... and here's a novelty, you puss the A button, TA DA! 07:35. The sleeping hat is used to recover health 08:53. So. You couldn't even get passed the easiest boss in the game because you couldn't figure out that it's weak spot is it's tail, even though A F*CKING GUY IS POINTING AT IT WITH A F*CKING ARROW TELLING YOU THAT'S THE GODDAMN TARGET!!! I mean, wooooooooooooooooooooooow. The search is over. This NC17 guy IS the biggest idiot on youtube. I mean there's no way he even played the game before doing the review, unless his learning curve is really THAT bad. 16 failed attempts to beat the 2nd stage in a game that isn't even moderately hard until around the 5th? I swear any game with more depth than a spoon would be too damn complicated for this fat f*ck. But even that is giving him the benefit of the doubt. This guy probably needs a walkthrough just to figure out how to wipe his own ass. I accept the possibility that he's joking and I hope to god he is because if he's not, I have no idea how this guy managed to learn how to use a keyboard let alone a webcam, I assume his mother helps him with that. But whatever it is, these privilages should be taken away from him because this is too functionally retarded for the internet. And I know, that's saying a lot. But yes, he DOES have a fanbase. Gotta love Youtube eh? Well you know, this isn't even a "so bad it's funny" kind of bad, it's just infuriatingly bad. This high concentration of stupid depresses me. People like this need to be f*cking put down. It has to stop. I think hospitals should become more strict, doctors should be prohibited from operating on stupid people. That may sound cruel, but you see, natural selection shouldn't be interfered with. When a redneck wants to stick his c*ck in a beating cow's heart hooked up to a car battery, then you just let him electrocute himself, don't try to save him, it's Darwinism goddammit. If we don't let the retards die as nature intends it then it will be the end of us all. OF US ALL!!!!!! Last edited by boo boo; 03-21-2010 at 06:32 PM. |

boo boo this thread is full of win and I agree on most of the things you brought up...
That wanker that is ripping off AVGN is, believe it or not, WORSE than The Irate Gamer (god I hate that douche) IMO. I don't know if I got exactly what you meant with the one about videogame soundtracks. You don't like that most are composed with a full orchestra nowadays? |

Gamers have the worst taste in music period though. Especially because the Sega Genesis never gets the credit it deserves when it comes to a lot of it's soundtracks. IMO it had more memorable soundtracks than the SNES did. But of course. Gamers are idiots who think better audio = better soundtracks. I mean. I don't even like to call myself a gamer, that word leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. I HATE GAMERS, and I'd rather not be associated with them. I prefer to be called a "software toy enthusiast".

Dynamite Headdy > whatever that lardchunk likes.
Also, it's really sad that this was a game that was recommended to him by a viewer, like ok.... here's a guy's whose lame ass shtick is reviewing "bad" games so how about.... one of the finest and most underrated platformers for the Sega Genesis? Last edited by boo boo; 12-05-2009 at 10:41 AM. |

Castlevania used to have a great soundtrack back in the day, but now all of that nostalgic coolness is watered down... |

Oh man, I love the music from Castlevania, all the games in the series had amazing soundtracks, even the more mediocre games like Simon's Quest.
When it comes to overrated video game soundtracks, nothing and I mean nothing, beats Final Fantasy. I mean Nobuo Uematsu is a great composer, but, yeah, he's goddamn overrated. It's not his fault though, Final Fantasy is a great series (well.... it was on the NES and SNES at least) but Final Fantasy fans by default have to overrate the holy mother of f*ck out of everything associated with it. Anyway, here's my top 10 favorite Genesis soundtracks (aside from Sonic). Sega Genesis didn't have good soundtracks my f*cking ass. These >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FF VII Did I forget anything? Oh yeah, I did. Seriously that guy can suck a big fat d*ck. Last edited by boo boo; 12-06-2009 at 10:20 AM. |
