The only youtube video games reviewer of note

xoxak, aka Mr. Rob:

All the words he has spoken were true. And even many he hasn't.

Note: If you don't play games at the edge of your potential these might seem incomprehensible, at least for the most part. He still makes a lot of good stylistic observations however!

Is this some kind of joke? It's not april 1st yet is it?

Don't play poker with Rob.

Happy people got some ideas from these

[kupomogli]

The best shooting game player in the world. I need to play Thundeforce 6.

*edit*

Watched the Aegis Wing review. The bosses beams were a mile away and he still died. That's one badass boss.

[Pezcore343]

I have no idea what's going on here. Am I really the only one who thought those videos were awful? The internet is NOT good for sarcasm people, help me out.

[poloplayr]

I am not trying to be funny here but is he for real or playing a character?

[slip81]

yeah, that dude is hilarious, i found out about him a while back and have laughed ever since.

I particularly liked the observation that chaining kills in Ikaruga is like folding socks. When you fold three white socks, you get a combo.

It could have been worse. He could have said the 'Irate Gamer'.

!!!!!!!

That just made my day. His Thunderforce VI review in particular is one of the best reviews I've seen. Gotta love the video description.

[c0ldb33r]

This is pretty funny. Some dudes make fun of a reviewer. I found this through a click or 2 from what you posted.

C'Mon, making fun of reviewers is just as funny as some of the reviewers, hehehe

[Ed Oscuro]

That is, so...so sad.

I love the guy's JFK impressions though.

Also, ray2393m's personal bio is rather scary:

About me: Well i'm an atheist and for good reason, I hate the catholic church, I greatly value all life, I believe i am the anti christ because my ambition is to expose the church for what it really is as well as all religions and change the world as we know it and I also love video games comedy NY and free pizza. Anyway, have you ever actually tried to listen to techno?

Here is the video page that I have been watching since I got home.

These dudes make fun of youtube videos. It strangely is very smally reminicent of when beavis and butthead made fun of music videos. Funnier than shit. Some are not as good, but some, like the mirror's edge one, is crazy funny

[Ed Oscuro]

Yeah, I've been watching retsupurae videos since I made that last reply.

Dang. I think I've had my fill of Vermillion and Fullbright Blue Shift and waterfalls and jars.

Please tell me, what the hell is navgtr? Is it some cache of old videos from the 90s that have recently been found? Or something newer and incredibly out of touch. Anyway, it makes for some funny videos.

Hahahaha. I wish I had more information. I only posted that stuff because it was pretty much on topic since the link was right there when I watched the video from the OP

[Ed Oscuro]

Yeah, I was really tempted to make a new thread about NAVGTR.

NAVGTR is an acronym for "National Academy of Video Game Testers and Reviewers (TM)" and apparently they had a ton of ooooold video games reviews. I'm not sure the robot man doing them is actually playing the games or just reading, but it's just appalling how he's switching his opinion on what games need to be "six times in a row" as the MSTers were saying.

So anyway, this National Academy of Duncery seems to have decided to upload their stuff to Youtube. Frankly it's not really that bad to have it up as a sort of historical perspective (for example, the semi-rare prototype footage in the N64/PSX face-off), although I have to wonder who was subscribing to their videos back in the day. Even so, I think they're aware how awful the stuff is:

The opinions expressed in "Gaming in the Clinton Years" are those of the original 90's writers and not the narrator or NAVGTR Corp., which was incorporated in 2001. NAVGTR is not a person. Clinton videos are unrelated to the NAViGaTR Awards. Ubiquitous narrator does not and never did determine (or vote upon) the outcome/recipients.

So yeah, they just smacked him down to the curb, hardcore yo

One thing's for sure; I won't be making fun of EGM or any of the classic mags ever again after this. I have seen the enemy and he thinks Formula One racers should drive through waterfalls (huh, getting an extreme sense of Deja Vu on that line).

Hilarious when they call Goldeneye's multiplayer versions of regular levels "secret" and then say they can't test them out anyway because they only have one controller.
