Jason Voorhees Tribute 3 PoolStroke 2023-01-13 | “Say hi to Mommy…. in hell.”Happy Friday the 13th, everybody!!!! This would mark the third time that I make a tribute dedicated to my favorite raging maniac in a hockey mask, Jason Voorhees and shared it for all of you to see. However, I do think that a behind the scenes backstory for this video is warranted, seeing as I was able to conclude this one with what are basically just finishing touches rather than have to start from the ground up with it. This video was originally something I crafted as a video for a college project in 2020, and it was March, so I saw an idea to make something Friday the 13th-related and I really dug the song featured in this video, regardless of how accurately it fits Jason Voorhees and his inner thoughts. More to the point, I made as much of the assignment as I could and did it in the style of a traditional tribute, like the ones I did back in my early days, more or less without much curving to the song’s lyrics and stuff like that. I recall getting a good grade on the assignment and looking back, I knew for sure that even if I didn’t end up posting and sharing this video for the Friday the 13th of March 2020, I was going to find myself a time slot to share this with you all. Although, a funny thing that I should mention is that my original assignment version of the video was much shorter and went up until around the 2:29-2:30 mark. It wasn’t until around last year when I decided to make a Jason tribute set for May that I went back and fixed up on this and matched the length of the video to the length of the song. Hope you enjoy, and be sure to not act reckless like drink a beer, smoke pot or have premarital sex. Unless you’re looking to get a visit from someone in a hockey mask, with a Ph.D in Murder.Song: Truth- SeetherClips: Friday the 13th 3D, Friday the 13th 6 Jason Lives, Friday the 13th 8 Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, Jason X, Freddy VS Jason, and Friday the 13th (2009)
Infinite Tribute ~ Adelitas Way PoolStroke 2024-06-14 | "I can taste your terror, child. All that anxiety and doubt... It's delicious."Well, here's a video I felt was a good idea to get out during the Year of Sonic. Although the parameters surrounding it will say otherwise. It's a video for a character I'm not particularly a fan of, from a game I'm not particularly a fan of. Here's Infinite. Before I say anything, I'll start by saying that whatever interest I may have had crashed and burned when all the character was correlated to was all of the EDGE jokes that came when he debuted.Infinite is sort of like Mephiles in that he's a character who made his debut in a game that not many people enjoyed. However, he drew the short end of the stick, because while Mephiles was looked at as a redeeming quality of Sonic Next Gen, Infinite was looked down upon as a laughing stock. A weak punk who compensated with the technology that was given to him by Eggman and usually spouted nonsense about how pathetic and weak everyone around him was. And not in a charming yet ruthless kind of way, like Shadow. In fact, he straight up gets demolished by Shadow in a prequel DLC. Infinite made short work of Sonic in the beginning of the story, so you've gotta give him some props, and if my video is any indication, you can tell that he's got a rage that's built up inside of him because of the ridicule from everybody, including Eggman. While having an eye-popping design(unsurprising given the Sonic series track record), Infinite was really letdown in the writing department. Even if it's unlikely, let's hope that if he comes back they can give him a better story.Here's hoping that no matter your stance on the character or the game, you consider commenting, liking, and subscribing, because unlike Infinite, I don't have a Phantom Ruby to conjure up all those desired interactions.Clips: Sonic ForcesSong: Sick- Adelitas WayThe irony in me not really caring for Infinite and doing this tribute anyway, is that in making this vid I had a more easier and substantial time getting it done. Seriously, watch the video and you'll see that some of these clips get my work done for me, and I didn't need to do TOO many cuts. Part of me is glad that I skipped out on using Anti-You by Blue Stahli, which was one of my alternative choices for Infinite.
Omega [E-123] Tribute PoolStroke 2024-06-03 | "I Am Omega. The Ultimate E-Series Robot."Sorry to have kept you all without content for the past month. Wasn't really me being busy as much as it was making this video being a biotch to do.But anyways, not only is our next (anti)hero character another one closely tied to Shadow, but he is also the last of the characters from the two polls I posted back in November and earlier this year, E-123 Omega.I remember being introduced to Omega in his introductory game(same as his comrades of Team Dark), Sonic Heroes. The robot embarks on a story of revenge and rebelling against his creator for deeming him a disposable machine with no more use after the failure of the previous E-Series robots. Omega doesn't have much in terms of personality, but he makes up for in his heavy artillery and arsenal. That's not to say that Omega is a dull addition to the Sonic cast, which he most certainly isn't. Omega shows that he can be cooperative and accepting of others' assistance in whatever mission he finds himself in. No doubt it's a rarity to find him without Shadow or Rouge, and despite being an armored android, he's more powerful with than without both his compatriots.Also has anyone noticed that he's E-123? That implies that Dr. Eggman had the next 18 robots in that series prepared but scrapped most of them. I guess he figured that since one of them realigned himself/itself against him, the others were useless in the long run. Gives more reason for Omega to wanna destroy his programmer.Song: Mechanical Instinct- AviatorsClips: Sonic Heroes, Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog(2006), Sonic Forces
Shadow the Hedgehog Tribute ~ Break PoolStroke 2024-05-04 | "I'm Shadow the Hedgehog.... This is who I am."Welcome back to the Shadow the Hedgehog tribute series, everyone. So far we have witnessed Shadow's debut, his return, and now we watch him decide his destiny. This is dedicated to the self-titled spin off of the Sonic series, that focuses on his Ultimate Rival, Shadow. The purpose of this game was to answer the questions of Shadow's past, why he exists and to create a unique experience for the gameplay, choose his destiny in a multi-path style that would determine how you choose Shadow's story to go. While they did not really lead to long lasting changes, all 10 endings are required playing to make it to Shadow's Ultimate Destiny to fend off his diabolical creators, The Black Arms.While many tend to knock this game down a peg for it being so hardcore with swearing and guns, I never saw it going so excessive. It's always been a fun game to me, and I'm pretty sure that one time my sister thought it looked like a cool game for me to have. It was her recommending this game from an Amazon search that domino'd me into becoming a Sonic fanboy. So I have this game to thank, as well as Sonic Adventure 2 for making me into the fan that I am today. :)Clips: Shadow the HedgehogSong: Break- Ovtlier
Chaos Tribute ~ Blue Stahli PoolStroke 2024-04-30 | "You know noting, fool!!!! It's Chaos!!!! The God of Destruction."Sorry I haven't been active this month. Very much what I would prefer not to have happen considering how things were two years ago. As I stated in the previous video's description, we're doing a one-two punch of Adventurous Proportions because here we've got Chaos as the villain to follow up Hero Gamma. Though to call Chaos a villain would be a stretch considering he's more of a beast that needs to be tamed after being confronted with an unspeakable tragedy. Chaos is the Water Deity born from the power of the Chaos Emeralds. It wasn't until he and his chao's(basically his pets that he's also ) was provoked by the power-hungry Echidna tribe that he became a blood thirsty being. Long after that he was awakened and had been under the control of the much more sinister Dr. Eggman. Unfortunately, what the not-so Good Doctor didn't count on was that Chaos would have a mind of his own and betray his would-be master. In the end, it was after his defeat that he learned that his beloved chao's were not in fact extinct and that he could go away in peace. Chaos is cool because of how much lore and backstory he provides to the grander Sonic universe, especially to the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald. And it was his emergence that brought about the birth of Knuckles' treasure hunting specialty. Whether or not he'll be in the movies remains to be seen given how much retcons they'll have to pull in order to justify his presence. Feel free to like, comment, and subscribe because unlike the Master Emerald, you will not be confronted by an angered Water God, but instead be greeted with gratitude from yours, truly.Clips: Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic X, Sonic Generations, Sonic ForcesSonic X episodes: Pure Chaos, A Chaotic Day, A Robot Rebels, Head's Up Tail, Revenge of the Robot, Flood FightSong: Enemy- Blue StahliAlso, does anyone notice how he's kinda in more things than he ought to be in? So, in one game he's the overarching threat(of course), then in another he's a bonus multiplayer character and it's the sequel to his first game(reasonable), then he's the boss fight of a revisit to his battle, and then in his latest appearance he's not only depicted back as a villain but he's also actually not there. Forces sure was a game....
Gamma [E-102] Tribute PoolStroke 2024-03-31 | "Preparation: Complete."Happy Easter everyone!!!! The PoolStroke channel blesses you all with a new video that while not necessarily Easter-themed, does serve to brighten up the look of things. This and the next video will serve as a sort of Sonic Adventure double dosage as they're focused around two characters who are most known for that game. First we have 'E-102' Gamma. Gamma is proof that where you're descended or created from does not determine the trajectory of your life. Serving as a member of the E-series, Gamma was assigned tasks by Dr. Eggman that would serve to further his plans for world domination and the creature of Chaos. After observing his masters cruelty towards his other E-series robots, and learning of compassion and emotions through Amy Rose, he realized that he'd rather not align himself with Eggman, then went on the hunt to free his friends/brothers from their mechanical prisons. In a rarity for the Sonic series, Gamma's tale came to a permanent end when the bot got blasted by his brother, Beta and the birds within flew out into the world. I'll tell you that after that story I was legitimately saddened, and even to this day I think it's one of the best emotionally handled stories in the Sonic franchise.Given how it's a machine character, I bet it's no surprise to some of you that I used the song, I Am Machine by Three Days Grace for Gamma's video. It actually worked better than I thought and I feel like I did well matching my clips with the lyrics and played around in some of the verses.Song: I Am Machine- Three Days GraceClips: Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic X.Sonic X episodes: Pure Chaos, A Robot Rebels, Head's Up Tail, Revenge of the Robot.
Black Doom Tribute ~ DEVIL PoolStroke 2024-03-22 | "I gave you life, and yet you defy me? So be it!!!! You shall pay for your ingratitude with relentless pain!!!!"Feels like it's been a while since the last Sonic villain tribute, and an even longer while since the last one that was dedicated to an official villain. Our next villain, though is less of a Sonic villain, and more of a fitting villain of a separate rogue's gallery. And ironically it's of who I just previously did a video for, in the game that followed the one that video was focused on. Black Doom is the alien co-creator of Shadow the Hedgehog who assisted Professor Gerald Robotnik in creating The Ultimate Lifeform. He's the leader of the Black Arms and had ambitions of turning Earth into a planet the Black Arms could take over. What he didn't count on was that his own creation, Shadow, would be opposed. And depending on which route you took in the story, Shadow had flip flopped back and forth into the many paths of hero and villainy, until ultimately deciding that Black Doom was not to be trusted with the Seven Chaos Emeralds and needed to be stopped. While not the most compelling villain, Black Doom is a rather entertaining presence throughout the game. The most surprising thing is how despite the reception of the game and how he's generally less liked among longtime fans, he's about to make a return in a game coming to us this Fall 2024. So we haven't seen the last of him and it looks like we're in store for an awesome remaster to Sonic Generations and sequel to Shadow the Hedgehog.Seriously though, the release of that trailer and it's contents was fortuitous.Clips: Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic X Shadow Generations TrailerSong: DEVIL- Shinedown
Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic Heroes) Tribute ~ Back From The Dead PoolStroke 2024-03-16 | "I shall find the answer to who I really am."Hello fair viewers and welcome to the next part of the Shadow the Hedgehog tribute series. It's only appropriate that the second appearance of Shadow also was my second ever Sonic game, Sonic Heroes. It was a game that featured one of the biggest casts in Sonic game history and was also the most playable characters packed in a game, storywise, anyways. Quite an exciting premise. As a child I ate up Heroes, but now that I'm much older I do see the frustrations and repetitiveness to be found. But that's not to say that it's a bad game. It's a campy, cheesy, light-hearted game that doesn't let the fact it's aimed towards younger players lose sight that it can be a challenge to beat. Some replays around the time of the second movie got me to fall in love with it again.Last time we were introduced to the dark counterpart to everyone's beloved Blue Blur, Sonic. What was the beginning that then looked like the end turned out to be the beginning because even though Shadow fell down to the earth, he proved to be one tough to kill Hedgie. He woke up surrounded by an old comrade in Rouge, and enemy-turned-comrade in the making of E-123 Omega. He may look like the old Shadow, but his mind was a clean slate that was full of questions and in need of answers to them.Admittedly, this tribute was tricky to do given the abundance of gameplay footage which I got from a user who's name I do not feel comfortable to disclose. In a sense I feel I've made more of a general Team Dark tribute as opposed to something solely Shadow. It's more of a Team Dark Tribute with a central focus on Shadow. I think this is the only way I could do a single character vid for anyone in Heroes. LOLClips: Sonic HeroesSong: Back From the Dead- Skillet
Rouge the Bat Tribute PoolStroke 2024-03-06 | "How is that? Perfect, like me?"After a month of being busy and squeezing out one of my well-known Horror Tributes, PoolStroke's channel is pleased to welcoming our next addition to The Year Of Sonic, a master jewel thief that you my viewers looked to see. Rouge the Bat. Dunno how much of an unpopular opinion it is, but for a while I saw Rouge as a little overrated. In recent years, I've certainly regrown a fondness for her character and especially while making this video did I re-fall in love with her. I could never dislike her with most Sonic characters, but it's a special case with Rouge as just like my all-time favorite character of the Sonic series(and fictional media in general), she made her debut in my first ever Sonic game, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. Rouge is a fascinating character as she'll traditionally be on the side of good, while also playing the side of evil to get her way in the end. She's arguably the most neutral when it comes to anyone in the main cast. Happy to have her among the characters that I like from this series that I love.Highlights of her character includes her chemistry with Agent Topaz, accompanying sax music(both of which exclusive to Sonic X), love/hate banter with Knuckles, brother/sister bond and friendship with Shadow, and her status as founding Captain of Team Dark.Consider subscribing, or else you may have to deal with a batty jewel thief.Song: Trouble- P!nkClips: Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog(2006), Sonic Generations, Sonic Forces, Sonic X, Sonic PrimeSonic X episodes: Fly Spy, The Adventures of Knuckles and Hawk, Emerald Anniversary, Project Shadow, Sonic's Big Break, Robotnik's Revenge, Showdown in Space, Defective Detectives, Eggman for President, "Supersonic Hero Appears!", Prize Fights, The Volcanic Venture, Running out of Time, A New StartSonic Prime episodes: Shattered, From the TopNote: It was almost damn near impossible to accomplish this video without using Sonic X clips.

Tiffany Valentine Tribute ~ You Give Love A Bad Name PoolStroke 2024-02-14 | "It's like my mother used to say...."I know I proclaimed that this would be The Year Of Sonic, but as I was rewatching the Chucky/Child's Play series as part of a marathon, and I saw an opening here for Valentine's Day, I figured I could squeeze one bonus tribute in, despite how rushed it is in a few places. I'd say that I'm glad with the final product.So anyways, it's been a good while since I did my Chucky tribute from 2022, I figured I give the tribute treatment to his on and off again lover. Who above all is his soulmate. Here's to the Bride of Chucky, herself, Tiffany Ray/Valentine. I've known Tiffany for as long as I've also known Chucky, himself. To me these two are just inseparable. Tiffany herself represents a lot of what makes the franchise work and appealing for bigger audiences. While not every moment with her is shining joy, we can see that she's got a simultaneous better and weaker grasp of her murderous tendencies than Chucky himself. And of course, it goes without saying, she's one of my favorite female horror villains. She's also one of those characters who's history, relationship with Chucky, and background is a wacky rollercoaster that's just fabulously macabre. Stitched together like she did for Chucky in the opening of Bride.And Happy Valentine's Day!!!! Treat your S/O right. If they cook, you might as well do the dishes.Tiffany Ray/Valentine is- A character played by Jennifer Tilly, then voiced by Jennifer Tilly, then a character voiced by Jennifer Tilly looking to possess a character played by Jennifer Tilly based on the real Jennifer Tilly, switches bodies with the character of actress Jennifer Tilly, then simultaneously goes by aliases of Tiffany Valentine and Jennifer Tilly, has an extra Tiffany doll that she's possessed, poses as the real Jennifer Tilly to everyone around her, keeps the real Jennifer Tilly in the doll body as a prisoner, who then dies, then goes on the run and is currently arrested under the name Jennifer Tilly despite her pleas that she is in fact Tiffany Valentine, who is a character that Tiffany in Jennifer Tilly's body played by Jennifer Tilly has played under the name Jennifer Tilly. Wow, all of a sudden I can sort of understand why setting Seed of Chucky in Hollywood was a step in the wrong direction.

Nazo Tribute~ Diabolical Invincible Me PoolStroke 2024-01-14 | THE YEAR OF SONIC BEGINS!!!!Hello one, hello all, this year on the PoolStroke channel I am looking to place a strong emphasis on the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise. I am looking to do this by way of tributes to heroes and villains, meme videos, and perhaps even more to keep everybody entertained up until the release of the film, Sonic The Hedgehog 3.With that out of the way, on the subject at hand, we have the main character and villain of a popular Sonic fan project that I've shown awareness for in the past, Nazo. Some of my earliest days in the Sonic fandom includes finding and watching the three parts to the Nazo Unleashed fan film. It was so exciting seeing Sonic and his friends, Boys Only Club, fight a seemingly unstoppable threat. The character of Nazo serves as sort of an anomaly, though. If you check out early trailers for Sonic X, you'd see a character who bared a resemblance to Super Sonic, who wasn't in fact Super Sonic. The Nazo character never made an appearance on the show and was left one of the biggest mysteries in the Sonic fandom. It wasn't until Newgrounds user, Chakra-X took it upon himself to bring Nazo to life and animate a fan film of epic proportions. The short may have shown it's age in how it feels like something from the late 2000's but after rewatching it for the video I can still say that it packs a punch!!!! Also, the series did have an unofficial sequel by the name of Return of Nazo which brought in Cyber Nazo but since that wasn't by Chakra-X I was never too keen on checking it out. I do think I will now that the official sequel, Wrath of Nazo did get cancelled by Chakra-X a few years ago. And seeing as this was the next villain tribute, I should expect myself to make something dedicated to one of our heroic characters soon.Clips: Nazo Unleashed (2022 Edition) by Chakra-XSong: Diabolical Invincible Me by Brandon Yates
Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic Adventure 2 Battle) tribute ~ Manafest PoolStroke 2023-11-20 | “My name is Shadow. I’m the world’s Ultimate Life Form. There’s no time for games… Farewell.”Welcome to the one and only Sonic tribute for 2023. And keeping with this year’s theme of revisiting old associates of the channel, we have the Ultimate Life Form, himself, Shadow the Hedgehog. And this is specifically dedicated to his original counterpart from the game, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. This is on purpose because it’s the first in a series of Shadow the Hedgehog tribute videos that I’m going to be sprinkling throughout next year in celebration of his big screen debut in the upcoming movie, Sonic The Hedgehog 3. And I’m kicking it off with his first appearance which coincidentally was also the first Sonic game that I ever played. Shadow’s story starts off as revenge for what happened to his only friend, Maria. After being uncovered by his her cousin, Dr. Eggman, he goes to find the Chaos Emeralds, getting our blue blur, Sonic, framed for the theft, and he’s able to persuade Dr. Eggman into joining his cause. Shadow’s plan to destroy humanity almost comes to fruition, but it’s through the unintentional reminder by Amy Rose that he remembers the true promise that he made to Maria. To bring hope to humanity and let them be happy. It’s this reminder that gets Shadow to play his part in stopping the Space Colony Ark from crashing to earth and make the sacrifice to save billions…. Until he’s brought back to life in the next games and that becomes a whole rabbit hole in of itself.My point is that Shadow’s story far from over and that he was only getting started.
Michael Myers(Rob Zombie) Tribute ~ Let The Madness Begin Fozzy PoolStroke 2023-10-31 | “Michael, you’re going to hell.”"DIE!!!!"Happy Halloween friends and viewers, and welcome to my second tribute dedicated to The Shape, Michael Myers. In particular this follows the remake incarnation brought to us by director Rob Zombie. This was actually my first exposure to Halloween and Michael Myers, come to think of it. Rob Zombie unleashed his iteration of Michael Myers in what can be considered his creative prime. Many have criticized his version of Michael Myers for going against John Carpenter’s original idea that anybody can be pure evil, without motive, but Rob Zombie did as Carpenter told him and made it his own. Hence why we can see many of his writing styles in his two Halloween movies.As for my personal opinion on this version of Michael, I’ve always found him to be menacing. We may have gotten to see lots of him as a kid before the actual remake part of the first movie, but even young Michael showed the brutality he'd exemplify as an adult. Tyler Mane, who I also know from X-Men as Sabretooth, made Michael Myers into a terrifying juggernaut on two legs, bitch!!!! I do think that Rob Zombie went too far in how he wrote Myers when it came to H2, aka the first horror movie that I by my own devotion watched from beginning to end. He pretty much wrote Jason Voorhees as opposed to MIchael Myers. Nevertheless, I do have a soft spot for these movies and the portrayal of Myers in them.Song: Let The Madness Begin- FozzyClips: Rob Zombie's Halloween(2007), Rob Zombie's Halloween 2(2009)
Pamela Voorhees Tribute PoolStroke 2023-10-13 | “You see, Jason was my son. And today is his birthday.”Happy Friday the 13th, everybody!!!! I have two videos planned for October, and I knew that considering we have a Friday the 13th in October that I needed one based around that franchise this month. I already have three tributes dedicated to everyone’s favorite homicidal hockey mask-clad mama’s boy, that it wouldn’t hurt doing a tribute dedicated to Mother, herself, Pamela Voorhees. The killer from the original Friday the 13th, Pam had nothing but hatred and vengeance on her mind when it came to her Camp Crystal Lake Massacre. A heartbroken woman letting out the pain of losing her only son. Pamela was a mostly offscreen killer, but she made her identity clear by the end and dropped the innocent woman facade to kill the last remaining survivor, Alice. While her involvement was obviously last minute, Betsy Palmer brought Pam to life in such a creepy manner. She was charming, compassionate, tragic, and most of all, creepy. I know the original isn’t looked at in such high regard as it used to but, I still love it and Pam makes for an awesome precursor to her much more volatile son. Then again, with Jason you’d know what you’re getting, but Pam was a little more successful in the creepy department and scare factor. Hope you all have a special place in your hearts for your mothers and would do any thing for them. Even kill for them.

Franklin, Michael, and Trevor Tribute | GTA V 10 Year Anniversary Special PoolStroke 2023-09-18 | "Welcome to Los Santos"I was feeling nostalgic, and similar to last year with my video dedicated to Arrow, I felt it appropriate to make an anniversary tribute video. This time I dedicate it to one of the quintessential games of my youth. The absolutely bonkers, chaotic, dangerously addicting installment of the infamous open world game series. Grand Theft Auto V. GTA 5 was a game that me and my friends always found our way back to, on the most simplest of days. It's a game that I wanted nothing more than to play as soon as I could. I didn't get a chance to have it to myself until 2015. I, being the 14 year old games-addicted teenager at the time, had difficulty putting it down to focus on life. It's one of a few games that I have more than one copy of for different consoles. When it came to how I wanted to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of this game, I figured that I could do a special tribute. I saw that since I had no time to do separate tributes to each protagonist(not out of the question), it would be sensible to make a video dedicated to all three bank robbers and celebrate the memories in the process.Characters: Franklin Clinton, Michael De Santa/Townley, and Trevor Phillips.Clips: Grand Theft Auto V (2013)Song: Gangster's Paradise- Like A StormNow, RockStar has given us 10 years of this game's awesomeness.

I’ve completed what I could call one of my most ambitious videos after, a year. I swear that I meant to release it much earlier, around my 200 subscribers reign. But alas, life got in my way and I had completed for my 200 and 300 subscribers special. I started working on this just months after my return to YouTube and tribute making. I had the idea to make something when I got more subscribers to display more of my fandoms and favorite characters in them to show what franchises I’d love to make tributes for. A few of these favorite characters are ones that have had their own tributes on the channel, and many are ones that haven’t had their chance to shine. Hopefully if this video makes the desired amount of views, will expand our horizons, and they will get their dues. I want to thank you, my viewers and subscribers for getting me to this point and I hope that now that it’s finished I’ll upload more of what I want to upload.Fandoms: Boondock Saints, Breaking Bad, DC, Disney, Godzilla, Grand Theft Auto V, Harry Potter, Horror, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Jak and Daxter, Marvel, Shameless, Shrek, Sonic The Hedgehog, Star Wars, Total DramaSong: How Can I Live- ill Niño#ShadowTime #200subs #300subs
Prometheus Tribute ~ Overrated PoolStroke 2023-03-30 | "If you kill me, you'll only be killing yourself."Disclaimer: My New Year’s teaser promised Green Goblin, but because of some difficulties, I’m gonna have to delay Gobby’s video. In the meantime, let’s revisit the Arrowverse for one of its most repulsive and psychotic menaces. A man who terrorized Star City to get into its hero’s core, Adrian Chase AKA Prometheus. After two seasons of not being on top of the game, Arrow’s fifth season came along. And while it looked to continue some storylines that we wish had died a while back, *cough* Olicity *cough* it did realize that the show needed to bring back it’s edge. And who better to help out than somebody who wants to relive the glory days. Back when Oliver was killing and punishing the list names. Prometheus showed up to remind us and Oliver of those days and his roots.It’s been more than 5 years ever since we saw him kill his way across Star City and try to break Oliver Queen down to his core. Having seen him and known what he’s capable of, Adrian Chase can best be described as the dark reflection of Oliver Queen. An antithesis. Adrian, like most the Arrow canon, was a far cry from his comic book counterpart(he was the character Vigilante, which he is now on Peacemaker). And like most things from the show, I think I enjoyed what I got a lot more TBH. The performance by Josh Segara was really what made me love him as a character. He was such a dick, yet smug enough to the point of not getting enough of him when he was onscreen. His hatred towards Olivier was the fuel to the fire he brought to Star City in his chaos. He didn’t care how many innocent people died if it meant that Oliver could look inward and see himself as only the killer he was in his early years. The dude was so devilish and such a show stealer that he was brought back for an episode in Season 6. Can’t say that he had a dull moment. Especially since he was “Always ten steps ahead.”While I commit to Deathstroke being my overall favorite character of Arrow, I’d be comfortable with placing Prometheus in the spot of best villain of the show.I wanna give a shout out and thank Homer Smith for bringing up Prometheus on a suggestions post I put up a a few months ago suggesting potential tribute candidates. Thanks for the suggestion, it’s great to get ideas and suggestions. It also gave me time to revisit season 5, so that’s nice. :)Arrow Episodes: Legacy, Human Target, So It Begins, What We Leave Behind, Checkmate, Kapuishon, Disbanded, Honor Thu Fathers, Missing, Liam Yu, FundamentalsSong: Overrated- Three Days Grace
Duncan tribute ~ Bad Reputation PoolStroke 2023-02-28 | "Meet you by the campfire, gorgeous."Whew, man does it feel good to drop another video after being on hiatus because of rearranging and repainting my room... And also school shit.Many of you who've been subscribed since the early days of my channel will know that I love the Total Drama franchise and my favorite characters, Duncan and Gwen, were the first tributes I did for the series. Considering that in that time I have gotten a broader access to music, plus I've gotten generally better at making tributes, I'd make a few Total Drama character videos. And of course I had to revisit the show's breakout Bad Boy, Duncan. I mean, I have three Jason Voorhees videos already, might as well give another character from the past a tribute remake.Those who know me know that I love Duncan and his badass attitude that he's carried with him throughout the series. He's certainly a character who I've been hooked onto ever since first seeing his design. I immediately knew that I was gonna be rooting for the mohawk guy to win the show. And while that didn't happen in the first outing, Total Drama Island, I was ecstatic when it was picked up for another season and we got Total Drama Action.

Sonic 06 Crack video Episode Silver PoolStroke 2022-12-16 | “It’s No Use!!!!”They say that great trilogies come in threes. I feel inclined to agree. I don’t know if I’ll be able to h complete my final three tributes for the year, so I may as well complete my little Sonic 06 Crack Video trilogy with the character who was first introduced in this game and has become a fan favorite much like that other hedgehog who debuted in the 3D Sonic era.

Silver the Hedgehog Tribute ~ Break the World PoolStroke 2022-11-25 | “It’s no use!!!!”Now that I’ve got that out of the way, Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!!!! For this year my gift I give to all of you for being thankful to have as many subscribers as I do is a tribute to another one of my favorite characters of the Sonic series, the time traveling Hedgehog hero from the future, Silver!!!! Even before I played the 2006 Sonic game, I had a good feeling I’d have a liking for the White(Silver) Hedgehog. Funny thing, before I played the game, I thought he was supposed to be Sonic’s father. Weird. LOL Silver’s got an awesome selection of powers including telekinesis and flight, but most of all what makes him stand out is if that he is determined in creating a safe and secure future. Saving it from the Flames of Disaster that consumed his world, long before he was born, he was ready to take any chance there was at saving the world, even if it meant taking the life of the one he believed would doom them all. Luckily, it took one black hedgehog to make Silver see the truth, his father(in my head-cannon, anyway)Shadow the Hedgehog. Over the years, Silver was unfortunately relegated to being more or less a background character but in Sonic Forces he was given more lines and story involvement. I’d know, I played it, for the sake of this video. LOLThe song selection felt right since it matched the idea of someone wanting to change his world and being fed lies, like Silver was in the game, as well as facing a darkest fear. I hope that you all enjoy this treat, which is now my 4th to last tribute of the year, and thankfully it is of a hero. Also I wanted to pump out one last Sonic tribute before the year ended. Have an awesome Thanksgiving. Now and for the sake of the future.Song: Break the World- Nine LashesClips: Sonic the Hedgehog(2006), Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Sonic Generations, Sonic Forces
The Shredder Tribute PoolStroke 2022-11-15 | "Prepare to know why they call me the Shredder."This video is certainly the first of it's kind on this channel. That being the first of content related to one of my favorite franchises, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Sadly, this year I could not do full tributes dedicated to all four of the Turtles, I hope to do them for next year, but in the mean time I have one for their arch-nemesis who has gone by quite a few names, Oroku Saki, Ch'rell, guy who just stood in the shadows all menacingly(2014, 2016), and most importantly the Shredder. Like my Bumblebee video, I dedicate this to my absolute favorite versions of this character, those being the 1990's movies, the 2003, some of the 1987, and the 2012 versions of the Shredder. If there's one thing that you can take away from the many versions we see of this character, especially the 2012 version is that he is a man with a plan and he will not let anyone get in his way, especially four mangey Mutant Turtles with a rat sensei. Hope you all enjoy this tribute dedicated to one of my favorite villains, I do admit that this video shows how truly attached I am to the Nickelodeon version, but I do have a special place in my heart for the '03 version as well. Now, raise those Foot clan flags high so everyone may see. And if you're into it, dine on Turtle Soup. Personally that ain't my thing but you do you.Song: You're Going Down- Sick PuppiesClips: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(1990), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 The Secret of the Ooze, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(2003), Turtles Forever, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(2012).2003 Episodes: Things Change, Turtles Forever.2012 Episodes: The Gauntlet, Panic in the Sewers, The Alien Agenda, Enemy of my Enemy, Karai's Vendetta, Booyaka-Showdown Parts 1 & 2, Wormquake Part 2, Vengeance is Mine, The Invasion, The Pig and the Rhino, Clash of the Mutanimals, Tales of the Yokai.
Michael Myers Tribute PoolStroke 2022-10-31 | *sounds of complete silence* Die!!!!Well, he is a man of few words.Hello, and welcome to the conclusion of the October Horror tribute marathon. Who better to end this onslaught of horror-themed tributes for this month and year than with a character whose movies most certainly always take place on Halloween, hence the title, Michael Myers. He’s the slasher that everybody tries to be and he is here to stay. And stay he shall, thanks to his recent trilogy of movies brought by a rather comedic duo, Danny McBride and David Gordon Green. I must let it be known that the first horror movie that I ever saw from beginning to end was indeed a Halloween movie, Rob Zombie's Halloween 2(make of that what you will). But I must express that when it comes to my favorites in horror I wasn't the most biggest fan of the Shape as most people were, but I have grown to love him more with each installment that I saw. Halloween is not my favorite series, but I do get enjoyment from it and make it a goal to watch one of the movies every October/Halloween. I hope you all enjoyed what I put out this month even if not all of it was horror. I have my last five tributes for the year mapped and planned out, and hopefully I can sprinkle in some fun stuff here and there. But for now let me just say: Trick or Treat, motherfuckas, and Happy fuckin' Halloween everybody!!!!Song: Murder- Within TemptationClips: Halloween(1978), Halloween 2(1981), Halloween 3 Season of the Witch, Halloween 4 The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers, Halloween 6 The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later, Halloween Resurrection, Rob Zombie's Halloween(2007), Rob Zombie's Halloween 2(2009), David Gordon Green's Halloween(2018), Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends
Tony Todd as Mephiles the Dark PoolStroke 2022-10-31 | Happy Halloween, everyone!!!! No #ShadowTime video because I've been kinda burnt out, but I have something to make up for it. Another VA mashup.Months ago I released a video of clips from the Sonic game series dubbed over with Michael C. Hall as the voice of Shadow the Hedgehog. That was because it was my personal ideal fancast for Shadow. This time I have done it for a fancast which I have held onto since 2016. That being of Candyman actor, Tony Todd as Mephiles the Dark. Ever since I saw clips from CW's The Flash of Tony Todd acting as the voice of the villain, Zoom, I felt he had the kind of voice I would love to hear in Mephiles. What's great about Tony is how versatile he is as an actor, as I display in this video, he's good at sounding haunting(Candyman), foreboding yet wise(William Bloodworth), absolutely sinisterly(Dreadwing), and pure evil(Zoom). It is for this reason that I did something a little unique. For clips that had Mephiles’ Shadow form, I’d use voice clips where Todd sounded soft spoken or normal. And for clips that featured his true, crystalline form I used the Zoom voice clips which sounded more demonic thanks in part to a voice modulation, I assume. Anyways, I hope that if we do see Mephiles down the line in the Sonic film series that he’s utilized as the Thanos of the series, the Ultimate Big Bad that is going to destroy the heroes once he shows up. And if that happens I’m hoping that Paramount considers my choice to play him, Tony Todd.Clips/Audio: Sonic the Hedgehog(2006)Candyman(1992), Final Destination(2000), Transformers Prime: Triangulation, The Flash: Enter Zoom, Running to Stand Still, Rupture.#tonytodd #Candyman #Zoom #Dreadwing #FinalDestination #MephilesTime
Amanda Young Tribute PoolStroke 2022-10-21 | “He helped me.”My second to last tribute of the October Horror celebration is dedicated to the prized pupil of the Jigsaw Killer, as well as one of my favorite female horror villains, Amanda Young. Amanda started her journey in the SAW series like she was any other of Jigsaw’s victims/test subjects. In a death trap, but in a twist, she survived her test. Following that experience John Kramer took her on as a protege and showed her what he wants everybody to see when they face his challenges. However, Amanda was not the studios student he made her out to be. For when she placed subjects in traps it was with a guaranteed intention of death, creating inescapable traps on numerous occasions. What I like about Amanda is how she’s displayed the abuse of power one can demonstrate when they do the things that Jigsaw does not for teaching lessons, but for emotional fulfillment. In her case the rage she felt for her victims that she deemed unworthy to live. To cap it all off, despite all odds, she genuinely looked to John as a father figure, who helped her and wanted to be with him as much as she could. That was of course until Mark Hoffman put her in a position in which there was only one way out. Amanda was played amazingly by Shawnee Smith who was sick on the day of her infamous beartrap scene, and somehow stayed a regular for the series, and it was amazing!!!! Hope you all enjoy this and look forward to more Saw-themed tributes. If you enjoy this, I’ll play by the fucking rules and make some more. 🐻🪤Clips: Saw, Saw 2, Saw 3, Saw 6Song: Landmine- Three Days Grace
Deathstroke Tribute | Happy 53rd Birthday Manu Bennett PoolStroke 2022-10-10 | "I keep my promises kid."I knew that if I was going to do a tribute for Green Arrow, then I was certainly going to follow it up with one dedicated to his best mentor and strongest opponent, Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke. This was more or less a long time coming since I had already done a Deadpool tribute way back in 2017, only a matter of time before his bro from DC got a spot on my channel. When I was first watching Arrow, the part that had my attention the most was the flashback sequences, and those flashback stories got instantly more captivating when the character of Slade Wilson was brought into the mix, played by the awesome Manu Bennett. The reason I needed to post this tribute on the anniversary of the show is of course because the date of October 10th is in fact Manu Bennett’s birthday. Fat chance he is gonna see this, but Manu know that it’s thanks to your performance as the character that I’ve grown such a love for him, and why whenever I read my Deathstroke comics, I tend to read in your voice, Australian accent and all. You’re an incredible actor, Mr. Bennett and I hope you had a kick ass 53rd birthday, wherever you are. I did not disappoint in showing my love for your portrayal, I promise.Clips: ArrowSong: Hunter’s Moon(Halloween Kille version)- Ghost#arrow #arrowverse #arrow10 #deathstroke #sladewilson #manubennett #10yearsofthearrowverse
Green Arrow Tribute | Arrow 10 Year Anniversary Special PoolStroke 2022-10-10 | "You have failed this city."I know what you're thinking, this is not a tribute dedicated to a horror character, and you'd be correct. If I had made my return last year, chances are I would have been able to let this whole set of tributes go off without a hitch. But alas I needed to take a much needed detour from horror for a Special celebration of the 10 year anniversary of one of my favorite TV shows, Arrow. The adaptation of the Green Arrow character is one of probably my favorite superhero show, key word there being favorite not best. Ever since I got addicted to it, I've found it hard to put down. While the series has had its fair share of ups and downs, I could never bring myself to hate a season of it, despite there being some very crappy episodes. I love the show and I love Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen the Green Arrow despite how he much the depiction is more Batman than Green Arrow. When I was late into watching the first season I kicked my self in the head for not checking it out any sooner, probably because of the CW network. Regardless I loved Oliver and the journey he goes from needing to right the wrongs of his father, to learning what it means to be a hero, to ultimately saving his city and eventually Burt’ birth a new universe with the powers of the Spectre. I know that his story is very conclusive, and that the series wrapped up mostly everything that it did have left to wrap up, but I hope that by some way that Arrow can return and we can see Stephen Amell don the Emerald Archer’s hood one more time. And as a gift to a very special someone, this is not the only tribute for the day.Song: Hero- SkilletClips: Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman#arrow #arrowverse #arrow10 #10yearsofthearrowverse
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle in a nutshell PoolStroke 2022-10-08 | Doesn't hurt to fill my #shadowtime quota by adding in a little something funny for y'all to enjoy.

The Collector tribute ~ Ultranumb PoolStroke 2022-10-07 | “He always takes one.”The October horror tribute specials continue with probably the most obscure horror character I’ve done a tribute for at this point. He is a character whose movies I consider to be amongst my favorites in the horror and slasher genre, it’s The Collector. Despite appearing in two movies, he’s become an icon in the horror community for his pension for traps and unrelenting sadism he lays into his victims. The trap aspect similar to Jigsaw should be no surprise considering that the first film was intended to be a Saw prequel. Considering the convoluted timeline of the Saw series, and how awesome both movies are in my opinion, it was for the best. I mean, you could make a head cannon that both franchises exist in the same universe considering the behind the scenes family both series’ shared. One thing I do want to say about The Collector, similar to what I said about the Xenomorph is that in the pantheon of horror movie monsters and killers, I believe The Collector to be one of the last ones who I would want to be in the same place with. In fact he probably has the highest body count of any single killer character I’ve seen. Dude kills around more than 300 people in that nightclub massacre scene in the second movie, alone.Clips: The Collector(2009) and The Collection(2012)Song: Ultranumb- Blue Stahli
Alien Tribute ~ Nature of the Beast PoolStroke 2022-10-03 | The start of my October Horror tributes, and we begin with a "Perfect Organism." After binging through all of the movies and playing the Aliens VS Predator video game, I can safely say that not only is the Alien Xenomorph one of my favorite monsters to be featured in film, but I think it takes the cake for the scariest horror movie monster. The way it is able to completely hide itself and blend in with the shadows and dark, the slightly, yet none human appearance of the creature, and most of all the fact that it’s first instinct is to kill whoever it sees in it’s way. It’s easy to see why the Yautja Predator see them as the greatest of prey, these absolute killing machines. Over the years the Xenomorph has taken on various looks. It starts off as the sexually suggestive facehugger, than births it’s way out of it’s host as a chestburster, than quickly evolves into the adult Xenomorph, of various mostly human adjacent forms, but there was one that was based on the biological structure of a dog, and one that was even born from a Predator. All terrifying creatures of many shapes and sizes that will make you glad that we have not made contact with Extraterrestrial life. Stick around because there are more horror and a couple of surprise tributes along the way as we commence the PoolStroke Halloween special.Song: Nature of the Beast- My Darkest DaysClips: Alien, Aliens, Predator 2, Alien3, Alien Resurrection, AVP: Alien VS Predator, AVP 2: Aliens VS Predator Requiem, Aliens VS Predator (2010), Prometheus, Alien Covenant
Captain Spaulding Tribute ~ Strike Back | RIP Sid Haig PoolStroke 2022-09-21 | "If you ain't gotta reason why you like clowns, I'm gonna kill your whole fuckin' family."Consider this part 0 of my October lineup of tributes. I'm hoping that you guys didn't think I was not gonna do I couldn't leave this crazy family of psychos without making a tribute for the ringmaster of the bunch, Johnny Lee Johns AKA Captain Spaulding. Of all the killer clowns that I have come across in the horror genre, Captain Spaulding is my favorite for making me laugh with his nonchalant attitude, grotesque sense of humor, and swearful yet colorful vocabulary. Come to think of it, despite being the face of the series, he is the one of all of his family members who has the smallest kill count. Those being "Little Dick" Wick and Killer Karl. Which of course was in his incredible debut scene in House of 1000 Corpses.With everything that I've said out of the way, this tribute was a long time coming. It has been since I started doing these tributes to The Devil's Rejects characters and since I knew this one was inevitable, I was certain that I was going to publish this on this exact day. On September 21, 2019, the world sadly lost beloved genre actor and performer of Captain Spaulding himself, Sid Haig. Even before I had seen the movies just a year following his passing, I knew how much of a devastating loss Sid's death was. Everyone who worked with him considered him a friend and was saddened at this loss. I hope you enjoy this tribute that I've done for the icon and have a Tutti Fuckin' Frutti day!!!!Fun Fact: Rob Zombie is so tight with his actors and collaborators that chances are you'll see them in a few of his music videos. My favorite of his music videos is the one for Feel So Numb, if you look hard enough you can see Sid Haig, Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, and Irwin Keyes. All of whom were in his directorial debut film, House of 1000 Corpses.Song: Strike Back- We As HumanClips: House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, 3 From Hell
If Shadow The Hedgehog was released in 2007 PoolStroke 2022-08-31 | Why yes, I am hopping on a trend that’s probably been dead for a week.Why yes, I found some way for this video to connect to Shadow the Hedgehog for the sake of my pattern for this channel. And yes, I am posting today, on the 31st just so I could live by the at least monthly quota I’ve once set for myself. So it is more or less a placeholder. But fear not, for I have been at work for future content dropping in the coming months. Hope you enjoy the measles 40 seconds of content that I have to offer.

Predator but Arnold thinks hes Spider-Man PoolStroke 2022-07-31 | Filler video. I just put out a Predator video, and hell, there's a Predator prequel coming very, very soon, actually. That said, I honestly wanted to upload something more than just a quick shitpost, hell this was something I found deep in my computer like another video I put out this year. That said, it is the 75th birthday of the legend himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hope you enjoy this, while I work on some projects.
Predator Tribute PoolStroke 2022-07-25 | "If it bleeds, we can kill it."The Yautja is an alien species that audiences may know better by it's titular alias, Predator. It is a creature that I've always had a liking for, and do have something of a history with, since I saw it when I was very young. In 2011, I saw the original Predator and was into what I saw because at that time I had been an Arnold Schwarzenegger fanatic. Little did I know, that the Predator series stretched beyond Schwarzenegger's Dutch Schaffer and has quite a history that brought it from the jungle, to Los Angeles, to a few fights with Aliens, to even the Predator home world, etc. Since Death Battle recently had an episode where it pit the Predator against Boba Fett, I figured to pay tribute to this Ugly Motherfucker now, since I had already been in the midst of an Alien/Predator marathon. One that I am missing a few of the movies in. :(And to those of you who are wondering, yes. The Xenomorph's tribute is coming, hopefully around October, I already have a song picked out for the video. Seriously hope that I can pull it off.Song: Appetite for Destruction- Vo WilliamsClips: Predator (1987), Predator 2, AVP: Alien VS Predator, AVP 2 Aliens VS Predator Requiem, Aliens VS Predator (2010) Game, Predators

Winslow Foxworth Coltrane Tribute ~ Midnight Rider- Allman Brothers PoolStroke 2022-07-01 | “Fly away, mama. Fly away, mama.”In 2003, Rob Zombie invited us into his House of 1000 Corpses and introduced audiences everywhere to the terrifyingly twisted Firefly family. In 2005, Rob took us on a road trip with them as they evaded a vengeful sheriff, and showed audiences everywhere how shockingly charismatic they could be, giving us the trio known as The Devil’s Rejects, Otis, Baby, and Captain Spaulding. When it seemed like they had perished in a barrage of gunfire, more than a decade later, Zombie brought them back for one last killing trip. Otis and Baby were ready to return but Captain Spaulding could not for in reality Sid Haig was far past his prime. Despite that the Firefly’s weren’t going to be one short a member so in came a new member, The Notorious Midnight Wolfman. While he has as of now only been in one movie, Winslow Foxworth “Foxy” Coltrane was for certain a shining bright spot of 3 From Hell, thanks in part to Richard Brake who felt right at home with Bill Moseley and Sheri Moon Zombie’s characters of Otis Driftwood and Baby Firefly, respectively. He may not be the Firefly some of us wanted, but he sure is welcome to stay as part of this crazy clan of killers. And I am glad that I conclude July by concluding, the 3 From Hell trilogy of tributes. Just to let you all know before you ask, I do plan on making more videos based on the characters from this trilogy. Definitely one for Captain Spaulding. A good chance of one for Sheriff John Quincy Wydell. Maybe one for Tiny. And I am actually considering Doctor Satan, if I can find enough footage, and if I get around to seeing El Superbeasto. Hope you enjoy!Song: Midnight Rider- Allman BrothersClips: 3 From Hell
Baby Firefly Tribute PoolStroke 2022-06-26 | "We like to get fucked up and do fucked up shit, you know what I mean?"Welcome to part 2 of my Firefly family tributes that I'll be putting out for now. This one's dedicated to arguably the second most well-known member of the sadistic clan, Vera-Ellen Firefly AKA Baby. She is the female member that gets all of the attention and is played by director of the trilogy, Rob Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie. While it is commonly made fun of the fact that he casts her in his every movie, on the bright side it shows how strong the union between this couple is. More to the point, Sheri's manic, crazy, and overall destructive performance as Baby is enough to make her into one of my favorite female horror icons, up there with Pamela Voorhees, Tiffany Valentine, and Amanda Young. The song choice was something that before hearing the track I would have had trouble with, but up until a few months ago it became a no-brainer that I wanted to use it for Baby. Hope you all enjoy and stay tuned for the last of the Devil's Rejects tributes I have, but I must say that it will not be Captain Spaulding, who I do plan on saving for October in my lineup of tributes for that month.Song: Blow- Eva Under FireClips: House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, 3 From Hell
Otis B. Driftwood Tribute ~ Snap PoolStroke 2022-06-19 | "I am the Devil, and I am here to do the Devil's work."I apologize for getting this video up much later than the usual Friday release, but my life had to come first at that moment. Anywho, it looks like I’m not out of the horror woods just yet. For the newest member of my tribute roster is one of the most demented, sadistic, yet somehow lovable horror antagonists to be given to us from the mind of Rob Zombie. It is Otis Driftwood from the Firefly Family Trilogy. What makes Otis pretty hard to hate for his heinous actions can be attributed to the extraordinary performance by Bill Moseley, one of my favorite actors to be associated with horror. In many ways he may be considered the main character of this trilogy, as he has the largest presence in all 3. In the coming weeks, I will be looking to drop videos for the other members of his family, save for Captain Spaulding. I’ll be saving him for October, however Baby and Foxy from 3 From Hell are a possibility. I hope you enjoy what I’m putting out, I’m like Willy fuckin’ Wonka, and this channel is my fuckin’ Chocolate Factory.Song: Snap('97 Demo)- SlipknotClips: House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, 3 From Hell

Chucky Tribute ~ Sin With A Grin PoolStroke 2022-05-27 | "Don't fuck with the Chuck!!!!"At last, I complete the trilogy of tributes dedicated to my favorite horror icons. Appropriately, they are put out in the same order that their cinematic debuts came: Friday the 13th(1980), A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984), and Child's Play(1988). Charles Lee Ray, better known to all of us fans as Chucky the Killer Doll is a horror icon that I have always been able to click with, at first he scared me considering my love for collecting toys, but I came to love the little ginger bastard for his personality, charisma, and twisted sense of humor that only a killer doll can make enjoyable. I have stuck close with the little bastard ever since first watching Bride of Chucky in the winter of 2011 and Seed of Chucky in January of 2012. I must also say that when it comes to his appearances I've always been more partial to his more scarred/stitched-up look, it has always seemed right up my alley. That said, it did not negatively effect my experience of when I saw the original Child's Play for the first time, which today is still one of my favorite horror films. Of the few still active big horror franchises, Child's Play/Chucky is one, aside from SAW, that I always get excited for mainly because it's a series that brings something new every time. It is for this reason that I should say that I have not yet seen the remake from 2019, but I am very close to giving it a first time watch treatment. So perhaps I could give that movie's version of Chucky it's own standalone tribute or I could do another Chucky tribute with all appearances. What would you prefer? All things said, hope you all enjoy my little video showcasing the Killer Doll in his glory!!!!Song: Sin With A Grin- ShinedownClips: Child's Play (1988), Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3, Bride of Chucky, The Making of 'Bride of Chucky', Seed of Chucky, Curse of Chucky, CHUCKY Cuts to it w/ Tony Gardner: Blood and Guts with Scott Ian, Cult of Chucky, Chucky (TV series)Chucky episodes: Death By Misadventure, Give Me Something Good To Eat, I Like To Be Hugged, Just Let Go
Freddy Krueger Tribute ~ Fear- Disturbed PoolStroke 2022-05-20 | “Welcome to Prime Time, bitch!!!!”As I said in my last video, wherever Jason goes, Freddy follows. Needless to say, I have a huge fondness for the two biggest names in terror and am happy that now they are both a part of my channels video selection, with their own tributes(two for Jason because he’s my fave and needed a song that I felt fit his character a bit more). Despite my love for both slashers, I was always a bit more of a Friday the 13th enthusiast. I spent the last couple of years getting familiar with the A Nightmare on Elm Street series, seeing all of the ups and the downs that the series has. Regardless it was a fun franchise and Freddy Krueger was always the best. I was also successful in using this video as a way to incorporate clips from all nine Nightmare movies, regardless of how many times I’ve seen them(I just saw the remake for the first time last week, I have a fun story to go along with that movie, though). Admittedly, looking for a song was a tricky task(same with who I have in store for next week), but I figured since Jason got a Three Days Grace song, Freddy would get a Disturbed song, one that would suit his sadistic nature and imposing of fear unto his prey. Anyways, hope you enjoy the video, it was a little tricky perfecting it, but I pulled it off. Next week, I cap off my tributes to my top 3 in horror, no kidding.Song: Fear- DisturbedClips: A Nightmare On Elm Street(1984), A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 Freddy’s Revenge, A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors, A Nightmare On Elm Street 4 The Dream Master, A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 The Dream Child, Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, Freddy VS Jason, A Nightmare On Elm Street(2010)
Jason Voorhees Tribute 2 PoolStroke 2022-05-13 | Happy Friday the 13th, everybody!!!! The last time I did a tribute to my favorite horror icon, Jason Voorhees, it had been all the way back when I was new to tribute-making and I had used a song that I felt was more or less overused, Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach. Since then, I have now fully acquainted myself with the series, when back then I was only shy of seeing two installments: The New Blood and Jason Goes To Hell. Yeah, someone who can't get enough of this franchise had not seen two movies when he did his first tribute for the J-Man, go figure. Needless to say, I had a whole lot of more fun making this than it's predecessor and hope that you all enjoy it. I also made it with the goal of including clips from all twelve(ironically not 13) movies. Regardless of Jason's technical presence in them. Stay tuned till the end, though. Jason won't be the only horror villain getting his own tribute this month. Hope you all have an amazing Friday the 13th, watch the movies, and most of all don't drink or have PS.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 Crack Video: Episode Shadow PoolStroke 2022-05-06 | "If the world chooses to become my enemy, then I will fight like I always have." Still a line that slaps hard after 16 years. Consider this the end of my streak of Sonic-related videos for now. If these videos that I've been putting out has proven me anything, it's that this franchise definitely gets me in the most creative mood when it comes to content and in general. What better way to end it than with another crack vid all about the ultimate hedgehog's story from the 2006 game.Source clips/audio:1. Badass by Saliva2.

Bully Shadow Maguire PoolStroke 2022-05-05 | "You'll get your rent when you find that damn fourth Chaos Emerald!!!!"May 4th is a special day in many ways. Many would say that it is the "Star Wars. It's the birthday of my sister, who shares the same birthday as Smash Mouth's All Star. To me, it's all about two of my favorite Marvel movies, The Avengers, and Spider-Man 3 which both turn 10 and 15, respectively. Figured I celebrate the anniversary of one of my favorite movies by making a video combining it with another one of my faves, Shadow the Hedgehog.Source Clips: 1. Shadow the Hedgehog2. Sonic Forces3.

Mephiles the Dark Tribute ~ Rob Zombie PoolStroke 2022-04-29 | And so concludes this month's Sonic-themed celebration. And what better way to end it off than with a tribute dedicated to the most evil villain to grace the Sonic the Hedgehog game series, despite appearing in a single game and a controversial one at that. The one and only, Mephiles the Dark!!!! An appetite for destruction, longing to be whole with his counterpart, Iblis, and hatred for Shadow are just a few of the reasons why he is mine and many others' favorite Sonic villain. Regardless of if you like Sonic '06, you have to admit that Mephiles was a spectacular villain, and kinds like him is surely missed in these modern era games. I do need to express however, that since he is a character with a single game appearance, this tribute was a little trickier to do, than I would have thought.Song: Dragula- Rob ZombieClips: Sonic the Hedgehog(2006)#MephilesTheDark #SonicTheHedgehog #SonicTheHedgehog2006
Knuckles the Echidna Tribute PoolStroke 2022-04-23 | Knock. Knock. It's Knuckles. You know the rest.... The Red Echidna, Guardian of the Master Emerald gets his own video in my list of tributes to favorite characters of mine. If this video is any indication, I am most familiar with Knuckles, hell the Sonic franchise in general, during the 3D/Modern era. Rest assured, I'd be lying if I said that I don't want to play the 2D/classic era games, at some point. Nonetheless, since he's not just one of my favorite characters in the series, but a premiere member of the Sonic game cast, member of the Trinity(alongside Sonic and Tails), and was the huge standout of the recent second film, let's celebrate Knuckles!!!!Believe it or not, I have at least two more tributes I plan on doing for him. One for when Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is out on DVD and Blu-Ray, and the other once I finish Sonic X the series.Song: Mama Said Knock You Out (Undefeated Remix)- LL Cool JClips: Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog(2006), Sonic X, Nazo Unleashed, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)Sonic X episodes: Chaos Control Freaks, Missile Wrist Rampage, Cracking Knuckles, Beating Eggman Parts 1 & 2, The Cosmo Conspiracy.#KnucklesTheEchidna #SonicTheHedgehog2 #SonicTheHedgehog2movie
Michael C. Hall as Shadow the Hedgehog PoolStroke 2022-04-17 | Happy Easter, everyone!!!! Hope you all have a good holiday and have seen Sonic The Hedgehog 2. No spoilers in this video, just a little mashup that I made to share this month. Haven't made a video like this since 2016, if I recall.To make a long story short, in 2020 I fell in love with Dexter and by time I watched the seventh episode of the first season, I had one thought. Michael C. Hall is literally the perfect voice for Shadow. He was able to sound so mysterious, badass, and imposing, most notably in his inner-monologue moments. Those three qualities I listed are things that anyone voicing Shadow should be able to meet. One of the reasons that I see Hall being perfect for Shadow is that he's someone most known for his TV roles(Obviously, Dexter and it's sequel New Blood is what I refer to most) which is what Ben Schwartz was known for before voicing Sonic in both movies, I figure it be cool if the same thing was the case for Shadow, and I hope both Hall and Schwartz would have great chemistry with one another. I know a great many would love to see Keanu Reeves as Shadow, not a bad fancast, but to me Michael C. Hall would play Shadow to perfection. Here's to making more Sonic videos and hopefully some Dexter videos in the future.Clips/Audio: Sonic Adventure 2 BattleShadow the HedgehogDexter Season 1#ShadowTheHedgehog #DexterMorgan #MichaelCHall #ShadowTime

I was aiming to get this to release for Sonic 06's 10th anniversary, came across some processing issues, etc. I figured that since Sonic 2 is coming to theaters this month, I finally get to work and put this out. But rest assured, this won't be the only one of these for this game that I do, Shadow and Silver will get their turns, in time. Better late, than never.Source clips/audio:1. I'm Blue by Eiffel 652.

Bumblebee Tribute ~ The Good Life- Three Days Grace PoolStroke 2022-03-17 | I live!!!! And what better for me to celebrate my channel's ressurection than on my birthday with a personal favorite character. For my first tribute in quite a long time, I dedicate it to my favorite character in the Transformers franchise.Chances are a great many of you thought it was Grimlock, but surprise, it was the Bumblebee. The loyal Autobot scout who’s proven that there’s more to being a little bright bot than meets the eye. For this video I used what I consider my three favorite incarnations of Bumblebee: Movieverse, Animated, and Aligned/Prime. I have not seen any Transformers shows past Prime like RID 2015, Cyberverse nor the two trilogies which took place on Cybertron. Hell, I haven’t even seen his own movie. So I should definitely do something about that.Song: The Good Life- Three Days GraceClips: Transformers (2007), Transformers Animated, Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen, Transformers Prime, Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon, Transformers 4 Age of Extinction.Animated Episodes: Home is Where the Spark is, Nanosec, The Thrill of the Hunt, Velocity, S.U.V. - Society of Ultimate Villainy, A Bridge Too Close Parts 1 & 2.Prime Episodes: Partners, One Shall Fall, One Shall Rise Part 1,Orion Pax Part 3, Operation Bumblebee Parts 1 & 2, Legacy, Regeneration, Deadlock.
