I took on Irate Gamer and NC17Productions, so I figure it only fair I go after Game Dude next. His infamous legacy as an AVGN rip off is second only to Bores. Any other person commentating on this review would probably be defending the game he's reviewing, but not me. Even though I hate Sonic Riders I won't let that cloud my judgement of this terrible review.

One last video to upload is the Battle review I did between Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog for the Gamecube. This video was too long to upload to my original Youtube account, but here I can quite easily upload it. Even though the ending to this battle review may be predictable I hope you don't judge the video off that alone and actually enjoy listening to me talk about and compare the two games, because after all isn't that what reviewing is all about?
Enjoy. =)Back to Old HabitsTom Hedgehog2013-11-15 | Original date of upload: 07/06/12
For this commentary I decided to riff into Chris Bores Silver Surfer review. Yeah, after those allegations I made about him trying to stop stealing from AVGN, this one goes against that as he slips back into his old habits, so why can't I?

Sadly my X-play Triple Whammy commentary was rather poorly received mostly by the fickle commentary community and X-Play defenders, so this put me on a hiatus. But I then came storming back with a rebrand. Gone was Tom the Hedgehog replaced with Mr Sir Henry MotherFucker. And for this commentary I go after RatchetClank53 who makes "Dumbass Commentators" on anyone who has a different opinion to his such as Gligar13vids or ChiefShadow1750, and how's this for a turnaround? I defend a review of Shadow the Hedgehog by Frequenczy.

So for this one commentary I've had to upload to Dailymotion, link will be provided below. Sorry guys but for the sake of seeing this video in all it's glory my hands were tied.

Oh jeez, another commentary on IGN. So let's just paint a picture here, IGN reviewed Sonic Generations, gave the game a fair chance, and SaviorRoseDragonPS3 STILL found reason to bitch about them. It raises the question, why go after IGN when GameInformer were a lot more unfair to the game?

Ah for this commentary we have a right turkey on our hands. A good friend of ours known as InvalidNickname came back from the dead to look at Super Mario 64. By this point we should know what to expect from him, a shitty review with no good points. So why help him? The answer, I'm not going to.

Unfortunately the reception to my previous commentary had been mixed or average, so for this one I decided to invite a couple of friends along. This commentary includes me Cster91 and Xboxlivegb11 and we do a commentary on Parodyguy778's Shadow the Hedgehog review. Just how bad is this review? Is it anything like X-Play's review? Watch to find out.

When D3athcritic and SP4Mew made their Co-op commentary on Game Dude (I swear I didn't even plan covering Edud Emag again) they then got commentated on by SexyGMaster. However the commentary I am looking at today features bias towards the original video and his main form of "Entertainment" comes in just mocking laughter and making himself sound more like an idiot than who he was commentating on. Reminds me of what ShadowBlazeX8 used to do, and I never liked him much either.

Oh boy, another Sonic 06 review. I'm sure I've seen this video before, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Oh yeah that's right. Just about EVERY other Goddamn Sonic 06 review out there. This same review has been remade more times than King Kong. You know, just because you support the popular opinion on a game doesn't excuse you from actually elaborating on as to why the game is bad.

Enjoy. =)Commentary Showdown: Irate Gamer Vs X-PlayTom Hedgehog2013-11-07 | Original date of upload: 29/09/11
For this video I thought I'd try and introduce a brand new style of commentary, known as Commentary Showdown, where I commentate over 2 similar videos and then analyse them to see which one was better. For the first episode I looked at 2 previous victims of mine, Irate Gamer and X-Play, and the topic of comparison was reviews of Sonic Colours.
Whilst this idea was ambitious at the time it seemed like I tried to re-invent the wheel which didn't do as well as I hoped, and unfortunately as this idea never caught on this style of commentary faded into obscurity.

I was next introduced to these guys by a friend of mine Sonicfan3346. I then saw their rant on the fanboys of a certain game I have mixed feelings about, Sonic Heroes. But whilst I may not be confident whether or not I like the game I can say with the upmost confidence this rant was garbage.

Ah Joshua8428, once one of the most raging bandwagons on the internet. Famous for his half-assed attempts at commentaries, but today he's commentating on Game Dude, so that should be an easy commentary, right? Well knowing Joshua he'll most likely make a mountain out of a molehill, so it's up to me to point out his flaws and missed opportunities (as well as showing how much of a dipshit Game Dude is).

Another commentary I did when I was taking suggestions. I came across this guy who listed the Top 5 worst PS3 games, honestly I couldn't tell if he made good or bad points because he has the grizzliest voice ever. For a case like this I'd take Luigi's advice and give the ugly kid a plate of the red crap.

Ah yes, Sailormoonred1, a bandwagon I jumped on when it was just starting to build up. What can be said about this guy? He's just a mindless idiot who rants on anyone who makes fun of him because he's deluded into thinking that he's more popular. Yeah, dream on.

Enjoy. =)Sonic Fanboy Vs Sonic FagTom Hedgehog2013-11-02 | Original date of upload: 26/05/11
One of my more popular commentaries. Now we all know how the archetypal "Sonic Fag" is seen as someone who is obsessed with Sonic, but to me that's just the fanboys. The way I see things a Sonic Fag is an ignorant jackass who doesn't respect others views and bashes those who disagree with him. Today I defend a Sonic fanboy from one of these Sonic Fags.
The ironic thing is after this video SonicandTails4life learned his lesson and improved whilst ShadowStar1224 went downhill.

Nothing too big here. Just saw a half assed Top 10 list that looked like it was slapped together in mere minutes. And coming from someone who hates Sonic and the Secret Rings if you're going to say a game like that is awesome you'd better give a damn good reason.

The first ever commentary I made way back in 2009 was on a bad review of Shadow the Hedgehog. I was then later sent this review by my good buddy ChiefShadow1750, and I watched it, and I immediately halted production on everything else I was doing just to commentate on this review. It's THAT bad. Hold on tight as we now once more rip into X-Play.

This was a special commentary as it was a fan request. I would ask my subscribers to send in suggestions for commentaries, then I'd pick one out at random and commentate on them. And who do I draw? None other than Morgan Webb of X-Play and her Metroid Other M review. Another commentary on a game which I haven't played, but don't count on Morgan explaining about it, she's too busy bitching about how the game ruined the character of Samus Aran.

I wanted to do a commentary on Silent Rob for a while. Of all the popular game reviewers on the internet I found Silent Rob to be the most overrated. Predictable sex jokes? Insulting others who don't agree with him? Acting hard? Barely showing any of the game? How was this guy popular exactly?

For the next commentary I decided to dive into the latest Irate Gamer review before anyone else got a chance. Even though I've never played Kirby's Epic Yarn I could still see Irate was full of shit. Another fine example of just because I haven't played the game my say isn't worthless.

You know I like watching a good top 10 (or top 15) list on the internet. But you want to know what would make those lists better? If instead of actually explaining or going into detail on the choices you have someone yelling like a lunatic and blurting out the N-word every 5 seconds........... ........said no-one, ever. Trust me, just listen to the way he acts. He's nothing but a stupid stereotype.

For this commentary I decided it's time to have an avatar. So I decided to use my Sonic counterpart Tom the Hedgehog. And with that I did a commentary on Sonicfan5200 who made a rant on realmwarss discontinued series Klonoa Dream Bullet. He complained that Sonic wasn't in it even though realm stated specifically that he didn't want Sonic in it. You can see where this is going.

For this commentary I decided to go even further back to one of the original fails of gaming and look at two reviews on Gaming in the Clinton Years from the late George Wood. Even though George Wood is dead criticism is made redundant, but I decided to make this commentary serve as more of a Review 101 on how not to make a review.

So after I did my commentary on Game Dude Alexander4488 got all bitchy about it all because I did a commentary on the original review over the revised one, and went on to say I was just doing it for attention rather than trying to prove a point. Well on that note I decided to commentate one one of his "Revisions" and looked at his revised review of Sonic the Hedgehog (Spoiler Alert, the review still sucks).

OK so as we've already established by now there are a lot of AVGN copycats on the internet, but few have stooped to the low level of NC17Productions by flat out plagiarising one of his reviews. Here we look at NC17's Top Gun review and compare it side by side, the similarities are clear as day.

After I had a bit of a commentator's block I then found a new reviewer to commentate on. NC17Productions (A.K.A. Kenny) did a review on a SEGA Genesis game I find to be an overlooked gem, Dynamite Headdy. Now you can understand why I got annoyed when someone who has no idea what they're doing says the game sucks for that reason.

This was the first commentary I uploaded to Blip TV, I did it mostly because of Boring Man's tendency to false flag any videos on him. But he seems to have laid to rest that habit now. So this was a video where I would defend a game which I enjoyed a lot at the time from Bore's frankly awful review, it's on the same level as IGN's review.
