Nice knowing you, "low prices"

They could at least pretend to do research before uploading a video to the internet where people can easily call them out for being stupid. Ugh.

I really enjoy LGR. One of my favorites. Especially his older videos.

I like the LPs he's done with Pushing Up Roses.

I stated in the video those are fairly common games,not hidden gems.Then again,MJR expertise is pc gaming and not consoles from the 90's.

Wait.... "I stated"...? You were responsible for those disastrous videos? Thanks for the lulz!

As I was playing Skyrim, all I could think about was, this is totally Ys. My character used a sword just like in Ys. Those two games are practically kissing cousins.

I'm alright with Metal Jesus, I have enjoyed his Atari posts mostly. I didn't really enjoy the TG-16 one because I know the library better than any other console as is, and there are no hidden gems left to uncover for me. But I did discover a couple of 2600 ones through him despite having grown up with one second hand.

He used to work at Sierra Online, so that alone separates him from all the other youtube shows just like his. I respect him as a (minor) industry insider. Plus, he seems like a nice enough guy even though I'm not a regular viewer. One guy I can't get into (apologies if you're on the forums here) is Gamester81. This guy just strikes me as a bit of a collector show off. I'm also pretty done with AVGN and Classic Game Room, nice guys as they may be I just can't get into the videos anymore. Like my buddy said, Mark kinda lost us both when he started complaining about sending back donated games. That made his show seem like an elaborate way to sit back and collect at the expense of others. As for AVGN, I'm sure I'm not the only one tired of the childish expletives. I curse like a sailor myself, but the gag just isn't that amusing for such a long running show. The only classic gaming show I still enjoy (because it's professional!) is Game Center CX. And it's really the segments I love more than the game he plays through, gotta love seeing all those cool arcades and retrospectives.

Oh, another show I enjoy from time to time is PortsCenter, which shows off the differences between versions of the same game ported to different systems. It's deviated a bit, but a decent waste of 10 minutes depending on the episode.

Yeah, MJR has said some cool things about PC gaming in the 90s and Atari even. His tastes and mine don't always align (especially with the later consoles), but this...this should have been another of his Gamer Eats or something.

Like a video of him eating an entire TurboGrafx-16 console? Oh yeah!

neutopia6 · 09/16/2014, 12:46 AM

I couldn't get into him much either, I'm loving pat and Ian's podcasts though, they're big TurboGrafx/PC engine fans too so that's fucking sweet.

Fairly common,what was showed i don't see how MJR friend see's them as hidden gems

Me thinks he should gotten into collecting for it first

For that matter he should have asked, spida1a opinion on what game he consider are hidden gems.
