    Many people bitch, but he does get ad revenue from sites like YouTube for his videos, so the more the merrier for his sake. As for the movie, I think, as it is with most independent films, that James is not capable of performing the remaining editing himself. He doesn't have the expertise, and so he has to wait on other resources to be available. Then he will dissolve perhaps into the hell which is trying to get it distributed in some way.

    I know it's easy to complain about the review saying wasn't as good as previous ones but having personally reviewed the game too, I knew about the problems with the game he was addressing as well like bad controls and demanding game play. To me the review didn't need to be overly long because he pretty much covered all the bases in under 10 minutes. Here is my original Alien 3 NES review:

    How meta. Except I bought that game, and now it's been spoiled somewhat... Oh well.

    Damn, so many games. I give credit to those who did them. The one who redid Megaman 2 and put it on a cart. That was crazy goood. The new one looks really hard.

    Complaining about the jump in Ninja Turtles is silly because its actually very easy if you know how. You just tap the button gently. If you hold down the jump button you hit the ceiling and go into the water. The nerd is not very good at video games.

    I think you've rather missed the point.

    Considering that video was from his first season, it's very possible that he was over-exaggerating the problem so that it would make for good video. He used to do that a lot in his early days; die on purpose or make things look harder than they were. He doesn't really do that anymore.

    In the DOS version, there's a jump right around there that is quite literally impossible – but why the heck would anyone play the DOS version?

    Yeah, the nerd clearly can get past that section since he shows later levels in his Revisiting video. His early reviews kind of annoy me because he's so obviously faking the difficulty... especially since the same people who are okay with it when Rolfe does it will immediately use this same thing against any other angry reviewer.

    I've heard that Silver Surfer is actually pathetically easy.

    I understand he is playing a character and that is fine, but I just dont understand why so many people hate on the first turtles game. Yeah it can be tricky if you dont know what to do but with a little practice its easily beatable. Its not that long of a game. Its my favorite turtles game on the nes.

    It's actually not as hard as the Nerd made it out to be. It's hard and flawed, don't get me wrong, but as far as bullet hell type games go, it's not that bad. And I'm not that good at bullet hells either.

    Well I had not played it in awhile, so I went and I just played it for about 30 minutes. Its not impossible, its just hard. I guess the main issue is you die after one hit and the enemies move rather quickly. It kinda makes a frustrating experience dieing so much. If you could take one hit the game would be alot better.

    I recall someone on Shmups saying recently that they found Silver Surfer easy. That's all I know. Most of what Nerd says goes for most shmups

    I don't know if this was brought up, but another game he exaggerated the difficulty on was Karate Kid for NES it was one of his very first episodes. I haven't personally played it but the Game Grumps played through it with no problem and they are no experts in gaming.

    Yeah, I knew about that one. You can kinda tell when you go back and watch the video again.

    He actually said in one of his videos that one of his biggest regrets in his earlier stuff was the over-exaggeration of difficulty, dying on purpose, etc. He said at some point his gameplay became 100% authentic.
