my new show

[Jack7]

so I'm planning on doing a retro video gaming show on youtube. and i figured I'd ask you guys for requests. one of the episodes i have planed is a dunk play through a set of ten games. so My main question is. What ten games from atari to ps1 would you like to watch someone play drunk? homebrews and hacks are accepted.

[theMot]

Lol, go home son.

[Atarileaf]

Watching someone play games drunk on youtube is really not entertaining, to me anyway. I've seen it done and watching someone slur their speech while cursing at a game they're stumbling their way through isn't fun to watch

I'm not sure why anyone thinks that this is something the world needs.

[calthaer]

Sometimes I wonder if some of the disaffected DP peeps who no longer hang around create accounts like this just to make these stupid posts for laughs. Either that, or the latest forum upgrade included some kind of stupidity magnet. I believe I'd prefer the former; the second is kind of depressing, thinking that there are people out there who are really this asinine.

I'll throw in my two cents for some game suggestions that I think would lend themselves to entertaining drunk play:

Super Mario Bros. Special by Hudson on your choice of either the NEC-PC8801 or Sharp X1. I suspect you'd need some emulation for this spectacle to happen. If you've never played this version of Mario before, don't even research let alone play the game until you film the youtube show.

In a similar vein of "what the f*ck," how about Takeshi no Chōsenjō for the Famicom?

The infamously bad Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the NES would be a worthy consideration.

When you're really trashed, why not play some Sneak n' Peak on the 2600 by yourself? That could be infinitely hilarious.

Now, to blow off some steam, play some Mike Tyson's Punch-Out to raise your spirits up again.

uhh... let me return to this later. Actual "work" at my job calls.

Alright, I'm back.

China Warrior for the Turbografx-16 is mind numbing in its crappiness. There is a droning rhythm to its monotony that should play out in an interesting manner with an excess of alcohol.

Gyromite on the NES with you operating R.O.B.'s controller with your bare foot. It would also be great if you had the actual robotic hunk of plastic to "man" controller two, as well.

Duty calls again.

so im having trouble picking between a name for my retro review show I'm working on. The two I have are Retrocity and Mode-7 what do you think?

[Duke.Togo]

There already was a retro game show called Retrocity some years back.

was there? well damn. i researched and google kept thinking i was asking for retro city like retro city rampage

[treismac]

Mode 7 would be a great name if your show focused on the Super Nintendo.

tell me what you think

[treismac]

Good stuff, Jack7. The intro is fairly kick ass and everything looks fairly professional. Your humor, script, and voice work well in the video, too. Since nothing is perfect, here is some (humble) advice:

1) Cover the window with a blanket or something when you're filming yourself. Too much light, man! Maybe you could film yourself in another spot with some interesting video game related stuff in the background.

2) While I can't speak for everyone, I prefer my reviews to be heavier on analysis than commentary. If you're going to do commentary, stick to the really humorous or very interesting bits.

3) Long stretches of a single video game "scene" just aren't as engaging as several scenes spliced together. Don't let a single "scene" linger too long. Splice more engaging short scenes together and tighten it up a bit.

4) I think intersplicing shots of you talking in front of the camera now and then to break up the video game footage, spicing up the overall "look" of the video, would be a good idea. Also, shots of the box art or ads in the beginning would be good visual filler too.

But, all in all, a promising start! Keep it up!

I would care to see the conclusion of this thread - can you make that happen, Jack7? Or do you want to make yet another thread promoting your lame show, since we keep showing up and raining on your parade because we don't like it and are giving you brutally honest feedback? If you're hoping for a clean thread where people only have butterflies and kittens to say about your show, then you should probably move on to another board at this point instead of spamming this one with a million new threads.
