The Swanton825 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 So after watching way more videos on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses than is probably healthy I decided to make my own review show. Tell me what you guys think. Edit: I forgot to mention that there is swearing in this.
The Swanton825 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 I'd like to thank everyone who's watched this and right now I plan on updating every other week until I get used to making these videos. I'm also taking request for games to review, they just can't be newer than 2005.

I'm also taking request for games to review, they just can't be newer than 2005. Any system you prefer, or genre?
The Swanton825 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 Right now the oldest systems I have are a Playstation and a Dreamcast so obviously nothing older than those until I can get others. The only genre that I feel I really can't review is Real-Time Strategy because I'm just awful at it.
eayragt Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Loved it. Brought back memories of creating boot up disks to try and free enough memory to play games back then. Gaming sucked back then. I'd like to thank everyone who's watched this and right now I plan on updating every other week until I get used to making these videos. I'm also taking request for games to review, they just can't be newer than 2005. Well, as you've already mentioned System Shock, I've just got two words: Terra Nova Wait... was there a tag line /googles/ okay then, five words: Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri
The Swanton825 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 Well, as you've already mentioned System Shock, I've just got two words: Terra Nova Wait... was there a tag line /googles/ okay then, five words: Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri *Looks up on Wikipedia* That is so going on my wishlist. I would like to see a review on GTA: San Andreas. Right now I don't really want to look at mainstream titles like GTA it may change later but right now I want to focus on lesser known titles. Sorry.
The Swanton825 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 Quick update, the next review is coming along well, I just have to wait for my brother to finish editing. If everything works like I'm hoping I'll have it up by the end of the week, no promises though. Also, I can't decide what to review after this new one gets put up. I'd like to get started soon because I usually play though a game I review twice unless it's really long. Here are the choices: WCW Mayhem (PS1) Shogo: Mobile Armor Division (PC) (GOG version) Blade of Darkness (PC)
ewanite Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I'd recommend keeping wrestling references to a minimum so as to not limit your potential audience. You're already in the retro video game review niche, a relatively small group as it is. Appealing to wrestling fans who watch video games will limit you to a potential few hundred viewers at most. Good job for a first video though, I'll keep an eye on future videos.

djthefunkchris Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 <p>I don't know about losing the wrestling in it.... From the very first few minutes to the time you talked about the "Super Kick" (which was in the game), I thought it actually added to the review to be honest. The whole thing made it more entertaining.</p><p> </p><p> Loved the cheering, the DX gesture, everything really. Thought this was more entertaining then even reviews I've seen on TV.</p>
The Swanton825 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 I'm not going to drop wrestling jokes entirely, they just aren't going to be made every episode. I adore wrestling too much to not make the jokes at all.
The Swanton825 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 <p>Because of some issues the video wasn't finished in time for last weekend, but I can confirm that it will be put up Friday.</p><p> </p><p> Edit: Aaargh! My brother keeps jerking me around about when he'll finish it, now he's saying he'll put it up tomorrow, "if he's feeling adventurous". <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
The Swanton825 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Posted May 12, 2011 <p>Okay, it's finally up:</p><p> </p><p> </p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/hYczSjg7rtA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Archive Binge - 02 - Armed & Dangerous Review"></iframe></div></div><p> </p><p> There aren't as many jokes in this one, but it's hard to mock something that's already funny. Unless people like this style more I will try to put more jokes in the next one (Shogo). As always, criticism of my...criticism is welcome</p>
moon_lit_tears Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 That was cool. Made me want to get the game to try.

The Swanton825 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 So I've begun to get a little frustrated that only my first video managed to get 100 views. I'd like to ask anyone who likes my reviews if you can help me promote them. If not, that's fine, I will keep making videos no matter what. (BTW the next one is Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project) Thanks to anyone who's willing to help.
The Swanton825 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 And of course, after I say that I'll keep doing reviews, my depression kicks back in. So I'll be going on hiatus indefinitely. Not like anyone cares anyways.
The Swanton825 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 I don't really expect anyone to want to watch these after how much I acted like a prima donna to the lack of response, but I started making some more reviews. XIII The Haunted Mansion The style is a bit different as well, I've been experimenting with an actual analytical review combined with a casual atmosphere and a splash of humor.
moon_lit_tears Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 WATCH! They are good. I like the Haunted mansion.
Astil Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I'll check them out when I get home. TGWTG is great, as in Linkara.
