Enjoy the fanboys


That is...a pretty sheltered view of things. I guess they don't realize that he's a comedian and that his videos are heavily centered around him acting based on gamer stereotypes and physical comedy. I don't mind if not everyone finds him funny. Not everyone will. But that...well, that just shows how misinformed some folks can be.

Either way, I've lost respect for the website as a result.

Wow, really?! A handful of idiots don't understand that Keith is a joke and you throw the whole website under the bus? There are easily as many people in that thread supporting Keith/explaining him to the uninformed as there are badmouthing/not getting the video.

Yeah, sure, there are more idiots than most would like on shmups, but there are far more cool dudes than idiots 8)

I thought the video was hilarious, and have watched it more than once

Excellent job Nathan!! ^_^ I thoroughly enjoyed your use of Lords of Thunder.

It seems like most hardcore shmup fans tend to take themselves way too seriously. They're games. Its a recreation. I apologize for having not played game x yet, I was too busy playing game y. You know, the one you said was not as good as game x because game x is the impossible one.

Keith is very convincing.

**edit**
My favorite NB gag on the gong show.
Dave Navarro ruined RHCP. He shouldn't be a judge.

Actually, having just read through that myself, I'm inclined to agree with Ack. I would also disagree that just as many people were supporting Keith. Mayeb it's just that the dissenters were more vocal?

You have a wide range buddy, and I wouldn't be surprised if karate instructors judged your Ray Amsley videos.

Keep up the great work man, and best of luck.

PS-Why you are not a guest on multiple podcasts mystifies me.
