Sorry no updates or videos in a few days, I was going to work on both the blog and youtube today but my back hurts pretty badly so I'm resting.
Be back soon though!

The 10 worst games I've played on Youtube (so far)
I've played both great and terrible games (and a lot that fall in between) for youtube, but here are the 10 I have considered the worst, in no particular order.
1. ET
This Atari 2600 abomination is well documented, though I really wasn't quite prepared for what went on. The end to this video has me dissolving into rage and frustration, which is normal for playing this game.
2. Chuck Norris Superkicks
For a while I thought I couldn't play anything worse than ET but for quite a long time I considered this the worst game I've ever played. The fucking this is absolutely unplayable. The audio in the video is pretty off from the video, which is an issue with some of my older videos. The sentiments remain the same, however.
3. Superman
Not the NES one, although I did that one and it's also horrid. This is the Nintendo 64 one and it's as bad as they say. I had an easier time than most with the controls due to my controller being better than a N64 controller, but the game is still a bunch of fuck.
4. Awesome Possom Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt
I ever mention I fucking hate this game? I hate everything about it. The entire thing is summed up at about 15 seconds into the video where I look at the title screen, sigh and declare that I already hate it. Nothing about this game could possibly be liked, ever.
5. Bebe's Kids
At least I had Julee helping me out on this one, but it didn't dull the pain of having to play this. Nintendo Power once called this the worst Nintendo game ever and it's easy to see why.
6. Custer's Revenge
You walk up to the chick and you fuck her. Occasionally you get nailed by an arrow (spear?) or a cactus. That's about it. It's not sexy, it's not fun and it's goddamn offensive. Fails on every possible level.
7. Captain Novolin
Aside from the ridiculous concept, a diabetic super hero fighting against evil food products, the game itself sucks. The idiot has no powers to speak of, he can only jump, and he even sucks at that. So you lack any sort of attack and all you can do is hop around trying to avoid donuts and grab corn flakes. The power ups in this game can also kill you if you grab too many of them. I suppose that's an accurate depiction of diabetes, but there really isn't anything fun about diabetes.
8. Wait and See!
To be fair, this is one of those unofficial pirate games, but goddamn if it isn't the most fuck thing ever. To add idiocy to insult, I had some retard tell me "I have never seen someone suck so hard at a game" Obviously he hasn't played it, which I suppose is good for him, but it doesn't mean that the best of him ran down his mother's leg.
9. Crystal's Pony Tale
I could only stomach two minutes of this. You can't lose in this game, but if you're playing it, you can't win either.
10. Hong Kong '97
This dethroned Chuck Norris Superkicks as the worst game ever. Watch the video and see why Joey is a fucking jerkriot.

10 Fucking Weird As Hell Video Game Titles
Sometimes a video game's title is all you need to know. Some of these are really fucking strange, for various reasons.
1. Zwei II
I've seen a few variations of this. Note to game developers, "Zwei" means "Two" as in the number. Two. II. "2". So if you make a game called that, don't call the sequel "Zwei II" So it's twice the twoness? Part two of two? What the fuck is even going on here. There's a few other games that use titles very similar to this, but this is the most basic one.
2. Rap Jam Vol. 1
So someone came up with the idea of a game where you play as several rappers and they play basketball. And they tack "Vol. 1" on the end as if there'd ever be a sequel. Unfortunately for none, we will never see Vol. 2 of the game where you can make Coolio dunk over Queen Latifah.
3. Riven: The Sequel to Myst
Not that I'm against a sequel to Myst, but if you have to put "The Sequel to Myst" in the title, maybe you should have just fucking called it Myst II. Especially that they called the next game Myst III. Please either number the games or don't, make up your fucking minds.
4. Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator
Sure that's an easy title to remember. I don't mind the title as much as the fact that it doesn't fit the game. Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator is neither a simulator nor is it strategic. It's a pretty basic shooting game. But hell, it is Star Trek, so at least they got that part of the title right.
5. Final Fantasy X-2
This one just fucking boggles my mind. You have a series that is numbered, though none of them are sequels to anything else. So they for some reason decided that Final Fantasy X really needed a direct sequel and since Final Fantasy XI was busy being an ill-conceived MMO, they came up with this. But the title? Final Fantasy X-2? Either use roman numerals or not, don't fucking use both. In this case, since the numbers in the series don't mean anything couldn't they call it something like Final Fantasy X: Yuna Fucking Does Shit? Who knows...
6. Kiwi Kraze
I happen to like this underappreciated NES game, but to be honest the title has always thrown me. Kiwi Kraze? First of all, the bird you play as doesn't really look like a Kiwi, and I don't understand how that's better than the game's original title "The New Zealand Story". Then there's the whole "Kraze" thing. I hate that "spelling shit with a K for no real reason." Mortal Kombat does this for no reason...though at least this game has alliteration on it's side. But what if I'm not really crazy about kiwis? I mean they're okay, but meh. I'm sort of ambivalent about Kiwis.
7. Mortal Kombat
Oh yeah, this fucking thing. Why is it spelled with a K anyway, is Mortal Combat weaker looking? Did they think they were being hip and trendy? At least Kiwi Kraze up there has alliteration, but what does this title have going for it? And don't get me started on "Kombatants" and all that bullshit.
8. Street Fighter EX +a
Okay, the Street Fighter games have a history of long and convoluted titles with lots of shit added in there. But this one is just weird. The original arcade game is Street Fighter EX. Usually in gaming, EX means Extra, but what's with this? It's just a sort of 3D version of Street Fighter. They could have called it Street Fighter 3D. They add the "+" or "plus" for an updated version. Okay fine, that's addition, they added shit. But then when the game hits playstation it gets that retarded little "a" at the end, as in "alpha". So it's "Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha". What, they added alpha? It doesn't have anything to do with Street Fighter Alpha and they don't spell it out, so what the fuck? The world may never know.
9. Samurai Shodown 64
Don't get me started, I fucking love this series, and I'll never understand why it's "Shodown" and not "Showdown". But I digress, that's not why SS64 is on my list. It's the whole "64" thing. Guess what, it's not on the Nintendo 64. And it's not like SNK had this idea first. In a gaming market where almost everything on the N64 has "64" in the title, this is a really REALLY weird choice for a title.
10. Awesome Possum Kicks Doctor Machino's Butt
Never have I seen a title where there's so much fail clustered in. Firstly, you gave away the ending. He kicks Doctor Machino's Butt. I guess the only reason to play it then would be the amazing game play. Oh wait. It's about the worst game ever to grace the Genesis. Also, if you're gonna blatantly rip off sonic, give me something better than changing "Robotnik" to "Machino" They didn't even try. And what's so awesome about this little twerp? The fact that he's awesomely irritating and that it feels awesome to hit his game with a hammer? And the whole "Butt" part is fucking retarded. It's like something a six year old would come up with.
I can't let this go with mere text, it's fucking macro time.
1. Zwei II
I've seen a few variations of this. Note to game developers, "Zwei" means "Two" as in the number. Two. II. "2". So if you make a game called that, don't call the sequel "Zwei II" So it's twice the twoness? Part two of two? What the fuck is even going on here.

There were three other videos I wanted to do, and two were ready go to up but a mixture of my net being shitty and Youtube being in maintainance mode has prevented this. So just the one for now.

10 "Black Sheep" games that aren't as bad as you've heard.
Every series has a "black sheep" a game that deviates from the formula, does something different, does something wrong or just isn't liked. These games aren't considered as good as the rest of their series, and in some cases, that is true. However black sheep games tend to be labeled as "bad" when in fact they're anything but bad. The worst games in some series are still better than the crap that's out there. So here's 10 black sheep games I have a soft spot for.
1. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Link's bizarre side-scrolling game is said to be the black sheep because it's a side scroller and therefore less of an RPG than the other Zelda games. A lot of people say this and I call them douchewads. Zelda II is the only game in the series with more than a few towns to visit, spells to learn and experience points. It also even has it's own strange take on random encounters in the field. This was the first Zelda I ever played and I don't see what's so bad about it. Some people also consider it to be ridiculously hard, and while it's certainly challenging, I say these people need to get a grip, it's not that bad. Definitely worth checking out.
2. Super Mario Sunsine
Even that weird-ass Reggie said this one was a let down. Then again, he's a fat neck'd fuckface who wouldn't know his ass from his elbow if you gave him an anatomy textbook on CD. The fact is, there's nothing wrong with Super Mario Sunshine, there's a whole lot right with it. The concept is odd, but really the concept of a fat Italian plumber rescuing the mushroom princess from an evil turtle really isn't all that normal to begin with. Sunshine has a lot to offer, not the least of which is a healthy challenge, something many modern mario games are missing. Though Galaxy would out-do it, Sunshine should be fondly remembered.
3. Street Fighter III
Why is it you never hear people talking about Street Fighter III. I mean there's a reason you never hear people talking about the first game. It was not that great and it's rather obscure, only reaching home console twice (Turbografx 16 under a different title and then PS2 in an anthology.) People are all sorts of over the moon about Street Fighter IV, but they all talk about it in comparison to II. III is widely ignored except by tourney players and that's a shame, as it's a whole hell of a lot better than II and perhaps IV. What's funny is that everyone praises IV (rightfully so) for staying 2D but that's what they bitched about with III. Oh and there's new characters. Boo fucking hoo. This game fucking rocks.
4. Metroid II: Return of Samus
While it's true that many Game Boy titles in popular franchises are weaker, smaller versions of their NES and SNES counterparts, this definitely does not hold true for Metroid II. Although it is somewhat linear, it outstrips the original in every way, including graphics. The linearity of it actually helps, as the original game was very sprawling and forced you to hand draw maps (or get a guide). The third game perfected it, mixing the free roaming of the first game with a great map system, but for now this would do. For some reason a lot of people passed on this game, and it has yet to be re-released in any form. Shame.
5. CastleVania
The N64 CastleVania (which many retardedly refer to as "CastleVania 64") is better than you've heard. A lot better than you've heard. The game suffers from what I like to call Independance Day Syndrome. It was well received when it was released, with good reviews and a general positive buzz. Then one day, everyone turned on it like a fat chick at a buffet and branded it a horrible abomination that should be remembered as a disappointing entry into the series and one of the most pathetic games ever. While I can't explain why that happened other than some sort of freaky Watership Down shit, I can say that the initial impressions were the truest. No, it's not as good as Symphony of the Night, but yes, it is good. Though it would be supplanted by the superior Legacy of Darkness a mere few months later, the game is anything but bad, and should definitely be checked out.
6. Mega Man 8
What is it about Mega Man 8? It does everything the first 7 games do and arguably does them better than it's predecessors Mega Man 6 and 7. Is it because it's on Playstation that it's widely ignored? I kinda think being on one of the most popular systems of all time would help. Yes, the X games were better at this point, and the main series seemed very cartoonish and cutesy in comparison, but it's always been that way. Seriously. Look at the designs of the characters in the original game. Mega Man 8 is great and should be remembered as such.
7. Doom 64
One could argue that Doom 64 is the true Doom 3. Or maybe that's Final Doom and this is the true Doom 4. Either way it's not a remake and actually ends the Doom story in a somewhat satisfactory way. The game is masterfully fantastic and it got horrifyingly terrible reviews and was mostly ignored. Even Doom fans dismissed it, claiming it was too dark. I mean, what? This is actually my favorite Doom game, and there's even a great PC version (called Doom 64: The Absolution) that is an absolute blast. It may have unfairly been compared to GoldenEye at the time, but I actually prefer this game.
8. Mortal Kombat 4
I find it weird that many people say 4 is where the Mortal Kombat series jumped the proverbial shark, when in fact, this is when the series actually started to be...good. Seriously folks, the first three MK games were all sorts of bullshit. As a huge fan of fighting games, I find them depressingly dull, the graphics outlandishly stupid (fuck digitized graphics) and all the characters remarkably similar. Take out the special moves and they're ALL THE SAME CHARACTER. Now while you could make the similarity argument for MK4 at least this game started off in the right direction and mixed it up by bringing character specific weapons into the mix. Not to mention it's a whole lot prettier than that digitized mess. I'll never understand what it is about this game that many don't like, but I have to talk it up to terrible taste if they liked Mortal Kombat 3.
9. StarFox Adventures
All right, I know. It barely resembles Star Fox it plays like Zelda-Lite and the Arwing parts are not terribly exciting and definitely tacked on. That being said, does any of that mean the game is bad? If you said yes, then fuck off my blog, you're a tool. The game is fine, with amazing graphics and a decent storyline (for a game about furries saving the universe). We know it was originally a game called Dinosaur Planet on the N64 that they tacked the Star Fox characters on to after it got moved to GameCube. What people fail to remember is this was done because the characters already resembled the Star Fox ones. It's bizzare and has nothing to do with the other Star Fox games, but damnit, it's good.
10. Sonic 3D Blast
The new Sonic games suck. Say it with me folks. "The New Sonnic Games Suck" Some of the old ones suck too, but not this one. Often disregarded as horrid, the game is actually quite fun. It's a departure to be sure, but so was spinball and tails' skypatrol and knuckles fucking asshole adventure and whatever else they released for game gear and 32x and saturn and the sega toaster VR 32 bit CD mega latte drive. This one came out for Saturn and Genesis (I played the Genesis one) and I was surprised at how decent it is for a slow paced isometric game. I know you hated it back in the day, but play a few minutes of Sonic Unleashed and then tell me with a straight face that Sonic 3D blast sucks. Yeah, now you actually KNOW the meaning of suck.
1. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Link's bizarre side-scrolling game is said to be the black sheep because it's a side scroller and therefore less of an RPG than the other Zelda games. A lot of people say this and I call them douchewads. Zelda II is the only game in the series with more than a few towns to visit, spells to learn and experience points.

You know, I gotta get the PS2 version of this game, the GCN controller really isn't made for it. But that being said, it's also not nearly as bad as I thought. Here's some videos of me playing it.
Speaking of fighting games, why in the fuck is the PS2 version of Capcom vs SNK so fucking rare and expensive? If you can get it for less than 70 dollars that's really good. I mean what the flaming fuck? I'd get the less expensive X-Box version but the compatibility is an issue. It'll play on the 360 but shittily. So fuck that. You'd think being available on PSN and XBLA would make it less expensive to own the actual thing. I'd get it from XBLA but honestly there really is something to be said for owning the actual fucking game.
