A Message From The Livid Gamer

WARNING: The following is a written mockery based on a previous blog post… which is based on comments by a friend of a popular angry nerd or something. Though there is some mockery, there is some truth in regards to… certain stuff. Without further to do, I give the floor to the LIVID GAMER.

*cue the Livid Gamer theme song, if he had one*

Hey, guys. Livid Gamer here with an important announcement.

People have said that I “nuked the fridge” with the Chu Chu Train episode. And yet, Zero episodes later, I’m still here, you goobers. Some non-episodes will be weaker than others… but that’s what you have to do to ‘ceed; keep on sucking.
As for the random character portrayed by my best buddy being annoying, that’s one character where it really was intended to be annoying but ends up being as stupid and pointless as all the other random non-characters in my program. So if he annoyed you, good. I’m glad he annoyed you. His goal was to annoy you and tune you away from my products. When you’re playing a game, and the game fucks up, that means the game sucks and you should feed it to your game shredder or toss it to your fireplace. Enjoy that fresh chemical odor that will inhabit your humble abode for years to come.
Anyway, if you want to see something REALLY annoying, you can watch me jump around like an asshole as the cowardly lion… or Bugs Bunny… or a Jewish skeleton who celebrates Christmas. I mean, I hear it all the time. You don’t like the live action characters; they all act the same; they’re out of character. We get it.
Guess what?
WE DON’T GIVE A SHITLOAD

OF FUCK WHAT YOU THINK!

There’s going to be more characters. They’re all going to act the same and be totally inaccurate to the original portrayal. When we do more Bugs Bunny games, we will have him act less like the classic character we remember and more like some fuckhead who has played a whole bunch of characters the same way, essentially becoming a non-character. Get over it. If you want pure game reviews, go make your own and see how exciting that gets after about twenty of them, even though pure game reviews have been around FOREVER and provide a formal. I sound like a broken record claiming that the angry reviewer style is a revolutionary new way of reviewing games when it’s just a means to cover up the fact that you suck at reviewing.
And just to cover my ass so that people don’t immediately think we don’t care what the fans think (and honestly, we don’t because the fans will like any shit we throw at them – just look at the Glitchy Bunny episode I tossed to gether on VaporTube.):
Sometimes I find it fun to add in guest characters like Spider-Man (but we call him Spiderman because we hate hyphens,) Ninja Gaiden (who has a real name, but I can’t be bothered to do the research,) and whatnot. We have a lot of fun shooting those episodes because we love taking these classic characters and turn them into pseudo-Nerd clones that act NOTHING like their mainstream interpretation, essentially turning them into non-characters.
Sure, some works better than other, like the time we had our guitar guy play as himself but swearing more often and acting like a Nerd instead of a unique character. But just because some fans don’t like the guest non-characters, doesn’t mean we’re going to stop using them. We’re not going to change our work method of a few complaints and so when you see a new character, he’s going act the same way as before – like the fucking angry reviewer – BECAUSE THAT’S CREATIVITY AT ITS FINEST!!!
So when I said “We don’t care what you think”, that does not mean we don’t care about the fans – you know, the mindless sheep that will like anything we throw at them, even if it’s pure shit. We love the fans. But we don’t care what they think if they don’t like our stuff.
The series is not ending. I may exert some non-effort, but this series isn’t ending any time soon.
That is all. Maybe this will appear in FOX NEWS or something.
I’m so LIVID.

Classic Bite Commentary #95 – March 28th, 2010 (Wrestlemania XXVI Predictions)

So it’s been roughly forty-six days since the last Bite commentary and rough forty-eight since being laid off due to economic issues. The job search continues at the moment, but I’ve been in somewhat better spirits than I was then. So for those wondering if this was leading to another breakdown, wonder no more. I don’t expect a breakdown to happen anytime soon. Different circumstances from the last time I had one; some would say more severe, but I don’t. It’s not a big deal overall.

To anyone who thinks I’m angry or upset about the circumstances, I just want to say this loud and clear. I’ve got no ill will towards the company and despite the rather abrupt way that I’ve been let go, I tend to see my three and a half years there as the best time of my life. And for what it’s worth, I’m still on relatively good terms with the company. In fact, I did stop by to pick up a printing job that needed to be done for a friend of my brother and I never thought of taking the job elsewhere. There might even be times when I’ll stop by for a visit. Could there be better times in the future? Possibly, but I’m not going to think about that now.

DTM BLOG Classics #50 – What The F—? (a.k.a. what killed DTM BLOGClassic for good.)

You may have noticed that I’ve been posting links here and there rather than the usual Clickie. I’m not going to lie. The blogging software seems to have some kind of glitch where the linking window won’t pop up or will pop up empty. While I could just post the link and mess around with the HTML code, I don’t really feel like doing that. If the function is there, I should be able to use it without hassle.

It bears mentioning that it could something from my end, but I’ve tried the same thing on some other computer (located elsewhere) and I get the same fucking problem.

I really don’t want to start bashing Tripod because of this, but this has been happening for at least a couple months. It is getting frustrating when I have to go to FRONTPAGE or the like to write my formatted post and then paste it to the blogging software hoping everything works without a hitch.

Some commented if this blog’s going away as a result. That’s not going to happen. As much as I complain, I’ve stuck through worse periods and a little inconvenience isn’t going to hinder my efforts or cause me to go away.

However, it is going to slow down posting on this blog… along with the rest of the shit that’s going on in my life at the moment.

I’ll be going now.

2019 POSTSCRIPT
When I said that this blog was going to slow down on the posts, what I ended up meaning was the posts were going to stop almost cold turkey. There were a couple more along the way, but honestly, this was a long time coming. Eventually, it got to the point where my blogging needs were much more than what Tripod was offering.

That, along with the relative ease of the Blogger system and the whole video thing starting up, ended up being the catalyst to not only making the new blog my permanent blog of choice (but also killed the idea of a “proper” website altogether. The original blog stuck around until this year, but as far as regular updates went… it stopped being a go-to thing ages ago.

DTM BLOG Classics #49 – The Wrath Of Crohn

Nasty little stomach virus has kept me incapacitated for the better part of a week… so bad I had to miss two days of work which pisses me off to no end, but I’m starting to feel a little better. A trip to the hospital has shown that I’m not suffering from any ulcers, faulty appendices, kidney stones, or any of that fun stuff. I still have to go back for a CT scan, but you know… I’m not going to jinx it. Bye.

You remember “Encounter At Farpoint”, the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation? Remember when they’re down on the planet and Deanna Troi is suddenly whimpering “Pain! Pain! So much pain!” Remember that?

Yeah, that’s what I’m starting to feel like right now.

Pain… so much fucking pain…

For the moment, effective pain relievers and herbal teas are helping with my recent episode of torture – and with two weeks off, I’ll have plenty of time to get some personal projects done… because I’m apparently not well enough to travel.

(2025 Update: I don’t go out and explicitly say it, but this was around the time that I first got my diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease, which is something that continues to affect me to this very day. I’m managing, though… that much, I’m thankful for.)

DTM BLOG Classics #47 – Quick Blog Observations

Every so often, I venture down the hallow halls of the original DTM Blog… and every so often, I’ll post quick updates from current days. It’s an interesting little side project that sometimes makes it worth revisiting the old site. Here are some quick examples and observations.

DTM BLOG Classics #46 – Steve Shaves, Freddie Leaves

According to PWinsider.com, actor Freddie Prinze Jr. is no longer working in WWE. For those who didn’t know, Prinze was part of the Smackdown creative team under Michael Hayes since July of last year. Amazing that he even lasted that long, but the same article says that he was well liked by the company, so I don’t know.

Clicking on this link from PWPIX.NET will show screencaps of a clean-shaven Stone Cold walking around a street corner or something. Yes, he looks old. That’s what happens when you’re old. You look old. Either that or you look like plastic.

Apparently, Stone Cold shaving his beard is such major news that it has made the headlines on rajah.com. Unfortunately, wwe.com failed to mention that bit, as they try to avoid mentioning that Stone Cold died with the shaving of the beard or some stupid shit like that. Apparently, people will have to settle for Stunning Steve instead. Whatever.

Found this at someone’s blog and thought to share them here. Can you guess all the champions in the allotted time?

DTM BLOG Classics #45 – Some Quick Rasslin’ Bits

I had written a nice post yesterday about the Irate Gamer’s latest episode (half a review of the SNES Aladdin game and half cheesy variety show), but alas the post didn’t upload. Rather than repost the whole spiel, I’ll just say this:

Mr. Bores, your production is fairly impressive by YouTube standards, but your actual reviewing skills leave much to be desired. It seems obvious to me that this show of yours is becoming more and more gimmicky each time (and to be fair, some could say the same about AVGN). Your NEO episodes are fairly close to the review style that is respectable, so try applying that type of effort into your original show and I’ll be happy. Thanks.

A couple other quick comments:

– WWE has signed former NWA/TNA World champion Christian (Cage) for a second stint in the company; a guy who was poised to be in the main event picture with a run-in at the Royal Rumble before things changed; a guy who has pretty much done it all and left the company because he wasn’t getting the treatment he felt he deserved; a guy whose talent and drive was overlooked the first time around… and they dump him on the third-rate television show to feud with some guy named Jack Swagger, who happens to be champion on the show?

Wow… just wow. I don’t know whether this is supposed to be a step up or not. Certainly not the type of return I was expecting Christian (Cage) to make. But whatever makes him happy, I guess.

– Brett Rattner, the guy responsible for three Rush Hour flicks and one shitty X-Men movie, has been tapped to bring the Image Comics comic Youngblood to the big screen. Apparently, I missed the entire demand for a Youngblood movie… what, were the rights to Doom’s IV too expensive for the producers?

– Chris Jericho got into an altercation with some stupid fans who wouldn’t leave him alone and ended up punching one of them after being provoked and pushed around. Kids, when wrestlers go home, LET THEM GO HOME. You have nothing to gain by being a complete douche to the other guy. If a wrestler or anyone else knocks you out, it’s because you’re the one being the asshole and not the other guy. Props to Jericho for standing up to the Confederacy of Dunces in Victoria, BC.

– Just to comment on the GSP Vasoline situation going on after his last fight… apparently, Vasoline is the new steroid in UFC. Wouldn’t surprise me if most guys are using Vasoline. Seriously, who cares?

That’s it for now. Later.
