Classic Game Room - INSANITY review for PC-Engine

I can't wait to watch this later.

CGR's audience is big..I hope it helps sell a few more copies.

YANDMAN · 12/11/2013, 08:53 AM

Yes CGR has a huge audience and following but it annoys me how they give the turbo and pc engine almost no air time at all.

I have been writing them for two years on and off simply asking as to why this is, mark the host is a supposed self confessed shooter'holic and Turbo fan yet for a period of five years he did one review Blazing lazers and continued to review the gamecom and other similar tat.

They only review games generally if someone sends them in for free which i think is really cheap.

yes lets hope this brings more exposure to this game and the truly great systems

HOLY EDIT STATION ONE! The Intergalactic Space Arcade has a Turbo Duo! The console that I want more than anything else available now!

Hell yeah. I already have three PC-Engine CD games and no PC-Engine. I need to get the PC-Engine Duo.

Never heard of this guy before... but he seems to do a pretty solid review.

If Arkhan can sell a few more games and get me my f'ing BERNARD hu-card, then I am in full support of this.

YANDMAN · 12/12/2013, 06:50 AM

CGR is one of the probably top three biggest on the Tube

Joe Redifer · 12/13/2013, 12:30 AM

No he isn't, not even close. He has 328,000 subscribers (roughly 10 times as many as I have) but there are many more with MILLIONS. Mostly Let's Play type of people. Those videos are generally the worst yet the most popular.

Can I just use this opportunity to tell you that the video that you put up basically mocking every bad YouTube gaming video was fucking brilliant?

TR0N · 12/13/2013, 12:51 AM

CGR is leaving youtube.Mark has stated he's leaving,because of the new copyright ruling that was put in place for the content ID.
Big Changes at Classic Game Room - SOLDIER BLADE review for PC-Engine

PCEngineHell · 12/13/2013, 08:37 AM

LOL kinda funny really, Show about video games cant show any video games. I imagine it will be something like going to the zoo in the winter and nothing is there to see.

YANDMAN · 12/13/2013, 11:07 AM

I wonder how AVGN will respond to this, These two guys are about the biggest on the tube.

Arkhan Asylum · 12/13/2013, 12:37 PM

AVGN hasn't been hosting on YouTube for awhile.

It sucks that YouTube is going full retard

I thought it was Nintendo and the other video game makers who own the copyrights that are going "full retard"? Youtube is obliging their copyright claims, so I don't see why everyone is mad at youtube when it should be directed at Nintendo and the like. *confused*

Because Youtube is choosing to ignore fair use, which is rather humorous in light of the millions of books they (google) have copied.

Nice to get some good exposure and a pretty good review but after his last couple episodes with the PCE where he was bitching about only taking donations and made an exception to return the pce to it's loaner i couldn't give a shit if this guy doesn't use YouTube any more.

This is the exact reason I don't watch his "reviews" anymore.. guy gets a bunch of freebies, becomes a big show off (look at me with all my games attitude) and then bitches about getting loaner stuff to review. It is sad that he feeds on his audience and complains when he doesn't get things free and clear. After following his show for a few months and enjoying it at first I ended up finding his reviews to be very shallow in depth and left me unfulfilled, which is another reason why I unsubscribed ... to each his own I guess.

Arkhan Asylum · 12/13/2013, 04:44 PM

Well, I'm not sure if he's exactly showing off when it's already understood that he gets the games as loaners.

He has a Frenzy arcade cabinet though, so, he can wave his dick around all he wants, if you ask me.

I believe the lion share of the junk behind him was accumulated from his donations.

He can wave it all he wants, just not on my pc monitor anymore ;)

Arkhan Asylum · 12/13/2013, 04:48 PM

I'd like to meet whoever donated a full arcade cabinet to him, lol.

I was referring more to the console games.. with that said I believe Luke Morse worked on some of his arcade board stuff free of charge. Whatever, it doesn't matter

In an un-related note is there going to be a pre-order for Atlantean? Or did I miss that thread...

Arkhan Asylum · 12/13/2013, 04:57 PM

No preorders for Atlantean.

I won't take preorders for a game until I know it's actually done and ready to rock.

Well, its hard to fill up that fancy game garage of his on only loaners that he'd have to send back. He needs to fill his treasure chest on the goodwill of others mainly to make this hobby worth it for him.

YANDMAN · 12/16/2013, 02:35 AM

These other game sack guys iv'e been watching and supporting ferociously are getting big these days.

He is still doing videos but more of the play type with Mike.
