Review #228 – Time Lord (NES)

Been having quite some issues uploading this particular review. Even though I was going to upload something else, I decided to go with Time Lord because… that’s what I was originally going to post and thus Time Lord is here…

No more posts for tonight, kids. I’ll be saving #1700 for the next upload… where I play a game that has gotten its fair share of heat.

1700 Posts And It Comes To This

I “attempt” to play Superman for Game Boy… from the same folks that brought Superman to Nintendo 64. TEH RINGS! And all that jazz.

Dailymotion is being a dick, as I’ve tried four different times to upload this video and two of those times, I got a message claiming that I’m not the owner of the video being uploaded. A video, mind you, that I have EDITED, DUBBED A VOICEOVER, and RENDERED MYSELF. Whatever bot is running here needs fixing. This time, it seems to be working fine… so far.

Meanwhile, the same video was posted on YouTube and went up without a hitch… so YouTubers, congratulations. You got a bonus video that I otherwise wouldn’t have posted.

Playing An Old Power Rangers In Space Game I Made Ages Ago

So here’s something a bit different; pulling out an old game I made ages ago and giving it a go. I used to have a copy of the Games Factory and made a number of quick games of admittedly subpar quality, but it did amuse the few friends we had at the time, so there’s something. If anything, this could serve as reminders of what NOT to do as we begin the Irate Adventures In Space game and perhaps beyond.

And NO… I will NOT be supplying a download link… this game isn’t all that great to begin with… but I would like to make a remake if possible.

AVGN Vol. 7 Includes Expensive Coaster Disguised As Worthwhile DVD

Uploading today’s DM video now as we speak… but I just want to talk about the contents of the latest AVGN DVD if you don’t mind. (There’s also a Board James DVD out there for interested parties, but I’m not going to dwell into that because it’s the first one.)

NOTE: The image quality varies on the Top 10 videos, because all the different clips were shot on different codecs over the years. When you mix different codecs in the same video, some of them need to be compromised.

Now I can understand the need to fill content on a DVD and seven episodes of AVGN is somewhat paltry content, but I have to question the included content on the DVD, specifically the inclusion of the Top 10s. I’m not going to complain about the inclusion of the panels because those might be worthwhile additions and they’re fairly harmless, but why do we need an ENTIRE DVD of Top 10 Nerd Clips, especially since these things are so obviously lazily put together for the sake of getting content on site? I feel like this is such an unnecessary addition and the package would have been fine with just the two first DVDs. Who cares if fans cry foul? They know you’ve been lacking in content last year due to the movie and the truly supportive ones won’t mind one less DVD in a set as long as the rest of the content was quality stuff. This third DVD is an obvious coffee coaster if there ever was one.

Oh, and on a final note, Jimmy…
