A friend of mine suggested commentary on a number of topics. Among them were recent editions of James Rolfe’s utterly worthless Bullshit series, which includes complaining about microwaves, GPS units, and assholes. Isn’t suffering through the first thirteen episodes of this tripe enough? Why go through more of this crap and Rolfe’s insistence that he shows off his fancy bullshit mask? Not to mention it’s a pretty crummy mask on top of that.

Out of all the recent offerings, however, there’s one episode that I do agree with to a point… and that’s iTunes. If there was any reason for me to avoid iTunes, some would be listed in that one video. But as for the rest of the Bullshit series… well…

Looks over a bunch of NES games based on movies starring Ahr-Nuld… all honesty, it was a pretty meh episode. I guess some people will be happy he touched on games like Total Recall and Predator, but honestly, it was pretty lame. Especially since I’ve seen videos of this ilk on these games done better by other people and with less overcooked results. Oh well…

Somebody commented on the Angry Joe vlog I did a year and a half ago… something about an apology for expressing my thoughts about an incident involving Joe’s attempts at an interview during the Spike VGAs…

The fact that people are still commenting on this is absolutely amazing.

No, I don’t owe Joe an apology. Joe’s been doing just fine without it…

I was going to post a quick update on some plans I got going on, but then I came across this little gem: the old Game Room site from 2000 thanks to that fangled Wayback Machine on the Internet archive. It’s a nice little historical curiosity to see the show’s humble online roots before falling victim to the dot com bust and eventually seeing a revival that is still going strong to this day.

The trailer for TGWTG’s 4th Anniversary special… To Boldly Flee, it’s called… it’s come out… and anyone who has followed this blog or seen my past videos on their prior efforts know how critical I’ve been…

Well, they say third time’s a charm… technically, it’s the fourth time, but I choose not to count the 1st Anniversary Brawl since that was more low key and stupid fun. You know what? This looks like it could be better than the prior efforts from Channel Awesome… Admittedly, that’s not really saying much when the prior efforts were about as depressing as those Seltzerberg parody films… but apparently, they might be going a different direction with this one, apparently a character study on Doug Walker’s Nostalgia Critic character… and if that’s the case, then this might have a chance at being the first genuinely GOOD feature project that Channel Awesome has put out since… well, ever.

This might even be one that would be enjoyed by even casual viewers such as myself. I’m actually interested… genuinely interested, that is… in seeing how this one turns out. And not just to see how much of Spoony is kept in the movie since his controversial departure from the site.

And if this turns out to be another dud to round out the trilogy of duds from Channel Awesome… well, there’s always The Proxy. That one turned out pretty good.

Cinemassacre.com posted former DVD extra of young Jimmy Rolfe “reviewing” video games, which seems more like running commentary than actual reviewing. Watching this video, a sad truth comes to mind;
