I just had a lol at myself.

Yeah, I've run into people like that on youtube. It's especially anoying when they talk in a wierd way on purpose, like this one guy who reviews 32X games and talks like he's retarded. I really enjoy reviews when they're done right though, and I like it even more to just see gameplay footage without the uploader's voice talking about how good/bad it is.

Kolibri. :x

I would much prefer to watch the gameplay footage by itself than a silly review, but this is often all there is - if I like the game, I like it; doesn't matter if someone else calls it a "putrid pile 'a shit"

The only game reviewers I enjoy on Youtube are SpoonyOne and AVGN.

I appreciate the both of them based on their video editing skills if anything. The belly laughs are just icing on the cake.

As much I enjoyed James work, I am starting to find his stuff to be stale, as for the wannabe's I am trying to avoid those kind of videos, I do like the little more serious reviewers like Little Miss Gamer, Happy Video Game Nerd, MJCreviews (RIP), Lee of Still Gaming ect. ect.

I am hoping some day that I will start my own video game review show, I basically want to avoid the cliches, I want to be a breath of fresh air (like when I found the HVGN), but the problem with me is that I am too lazy to write reviews and make videos, plus I have a job.

Yeah most people can't speak well or we would all be radio personalities, I like pure game play with all the sounds too so I can get a feel of the game, I don't want to hear someones flavor of the month trendy fuck song attached to a gaming video especially a classic game.

I watched a couple of these videos and found them to be very annoying. It's just a bunch of immature brats with nothing better to do in their spare time. :x

What? You don't think Contra is one of the worst games of all time?
:roll:

I think that's one of the first times I've heard someone make the majority of their argument based on their lack of skill.
