Anyone follow this guy\'s rants on games that suck?

He reviews old games that were terrible with lots of profanity and hilarious commentary...

I remember buying a 32X when it first came out. Since then, I\'ve lost all the cables...Hm.. I may get another one off Ebay.

Unless you owned one, you can\'t apperciate it.. I had all the games mentioned in that review and if he thinks DOOM for the 32X sucks - he should try the 3DO version. It ran at a brisk 5ps.

Can\'t say I enjoy his videos tho\'.

I did spend a lot of time on this game, even imported the Saturn version.

I watched a couple of those.  I apparently wasn\'t quite the fag that you guys were/are because I haven\'t ever played any of the games.  That said, it was still funny as shit.

Dragon\'s Lair was fucking hillarious.

The Roger Rabbit was so hilarious.  A part where Jessica Rabbit told him to look for her phone number.  He did find it, and actually use the real phone to call her and cussing her out. Among the funniest thing I ever seen.:lmao:

Haha, that one was good. I still wonder what Nintendo was thinking with the Virtual Boy. I think it would have been more successful if they made it color. I played it once back int he day and my eyes hurt so bad.

None of them are that funny, sadly. Dropping the \'f\' bomb and making poop jokes, does not equal humor.

the constant cussing does start to get stale, but i did quite enjoy the reviews like the virtual boy because i didn\'t know much about this virtual boy and stuffs and he does get in depth about it, and he even did a mini reviews of each games on that console.

But I find it interesting that he record those videogames into a dvd recorder.  I thought it would have been simplier if he recorded it on a MiniDV camcorder input.  And use the firewire to transfer the video into the computer for editing and encoding...it should be easier that way.

If the MiniDV doesn\'t have the input that he wants like the analog RF coaxial, then use a converter box or just connect the Analog RF coaxial to the VCR, and connect the RCA cables to the VCR output and to the miniDV input should do too...

DVD recorder does the tricks too, but once recorded to the Disc, i think its more inconvenient to ripped a/v files off the disc and into the computer for editing.  it might uses more softwares to do the audio/video conversion too...also, dvd has a higher compression ratio than miniDV.  But low resolution videogames shouldn\'t matter much though.  But the inconvenient of multiple conversion could be a pain in the neck.

nvm, according to the FAQ with Q&A, i realized he recorded to a dvd disc first.  then play it back on the dvd player or recorder, and connect that dvd player to the MiniDV input, and output it via firewire...which does works too.

Q: How do you record your game footage?

A: All my game clips are recording to DVD, while I\'m playing them. After i\'m done, I just playback the DVD
in a DVD player that\'s connected to my computer (through a DV camera) So the DVD player connects to
the camera, and the camera connects to the computer. That\'s how I go from RCA to Firewire. And I capture
with Final Cut Pro using the option "non-controllable device" so it doesnt\' look for timecode from a DV tape.

There are also programs made for ripping DVD\'s, but I don\'t use them, because they don\'t do a good job, they
take a long time, and when I import the footage into Final Cut, I have to render it first. So in the long run, it takes more time.
