The Irate Gamer is a character devised by a gamer by the name of Chris Bores. First starting his series with a review video of the Back to the Future games, Chris Bores rose to popularity and soon became a Youtube partner. From that video, it was quite clear that Bores heavily drew inspiration from the Angry Videogame Nerd, who had also made a BTTF review. So much so that Bores’ version could be considered downright copied and pasted. Youtube quickly picked up on the man’s efforts and made him a partner, effectively knocking the AVGN from Youtube’s pages like most popular and the like, even though the AVGN was more popular and better to boot.
*RING*
Hold on, getting a phone call.
*Blah blah blah blah. BLAH BLAH BLAH! Blaaaaaaaah!*
What do you mean, Darkseid got nailed to the cross?
*Blah blah BLAAAAAH blah blah blah BLAH*
Why the fuck should I care if people called him a troll and a pointwhore? I’m not him!
*Click. Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut*
Bitch hung up. Ahwell. MOVING ON.
Once it got through to Bores’ skull that people were aware he was blatantly ripping off a beloved series, he quickly backpaddled and created the Irate Gamer Neo show, a show where he reviews new games. Without ever showing skill in gaming or showing proof he has actually played the game and isn’t just taking points from other people.
Eventually the IG really hit rock bottom when he announced that he was going to do a massive giveaway. A website was apparently helping him to give away a playstation 3 and a “bunch of games”. Problem is, the Bunch of games were only displayed on screen so there was no way of knowing that these were the games you’d be getting. There were three things that needed to be in order for you to be eligible to enter the contest. First of all, you needed to be subscribed to his channel. Then you needed to go to said website, create an account and browse their stuff. After this you need to comment your username in the section below the video and the website would pick a name at random. In the end that was nothing more than a means to get his own channel subscribers and to get accounts for said website. Also, the things that could be won are … vague. Is the PS3 used? Is it new? What games come with it? Good games? Barbie goes Hollywood? WHAT? Fun fact: so far nobody knows who the winner is.
*RING*
Popular sonofabish, aren’t I? Hang on.
*BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH*
For fucks sake bitch. I’M NOT BEING A POINTWHORE. I’m hanging up now.
*Click. Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut*
Oh, real mature, hanging up on me first.
Anyhoo, I’m here right now with g1 Darkseid. He’s Darkseid. You might recognize him from such educational blogs as “Lead Paint: Delicious but Deadly” and Drive-Ed blogs like “Alice’s Adventures through the Windshield Glass.”
PJ: Darkseid, welcome!
Darkseid: Happy to be here, Puddle.
PJ: We are here today to discuss your recent blogging success regarding the Irate Gamer. A very interesting read if I may add and very informative to boot.
Darkseid: Funny story actually. You see, my agent Marty led me to believe I was actually going to blog about some Navgtr guy and
PJ: Fucking Interesting. Well, thank you for this very enlightening interview.
Darkseid: Wait, I’m not done yet.
PJ: I haven’t had such a riveting talk since our Inception talk. You’re one hell of a guy.
Darkseid: You asshole! I’m not done!
PJ: SECURITY!
DARKSEID: FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE! IF IT WASN’T FOR THOSE MEDDLING KIDS AND THEIR DUMB DOG! I’LL GET YOU NEXT TIME PUDDLE! NEXT TIIIIIIIME!
Right, riveting conversation, wouldn’t you say? Hmm, yes, quite. Moving on!
For me to be able to tell you all the things that are wrong with the Irate Gamer, I’d have to sit here for hours on end to try and write down every single little thing. So, in order to cut down on space, I propose we turn this in to a top 5! What do you say?
I’m proudly to present to all you fine gentlemen and ladies: The Top 5 reasons that the Irate Gamer sucks.
5.
The man rips off the AVGN’s room by having an old TV that he uses for his reviews and the fact that he has many posters in his room of Videogames, probably ones of Nintendo Power as well. This is how far that the Irate Gamer is willing to go people. FOR SHAME!
4.
Throughout the Irate Gamer’s videos, the man is known to include various guest appearances from other characters. Whilst the AVGN brings in Bugs Bunny, The Joker, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger and others, having only one or two original characters in there, the Irate Gamer has not a single cameo in there other than original characters. So, not only did he rip off the AVGN by having guest appearances, he also makes sure to make them suck as much as possible.
3.
James Rolfe, creator of the Angry Videogame Nerd, used to squirt out a new AVGN every two weeks, but decided to do it monthly now so that he can also release more of his other videos like movie reviews, trivia videos, board james and more. The Irate Gamer on the other hand only releases a video every 3 or 4 months, sometimes just a trailer, with the promise that it WIlL BE GLORIOUS! Only to end up being nothing more but shitty effects. Combine the lack of updates and shitty effects with the fact that he uses phrases first coined by the AVGN, and you have poorly made videos. So reason number 3 is that he makes piss poor videos. I mean, if there are flaws within the game, he will intentionally seek them out instead of letting them occur like the AVGN does.
2.
Further proof that he makes poor videos lies within its content. I’ve already covered that he rips off AVGN with his room and his guest appearances. But I also mentioned the phrases. Here comes number 2: IG RIPS OFF THE AVGN’S SCRIPTS. These include, but are not limited to the style in which James Rolfe writes his scripts, the swear words used by the AVGN, the complaints about the game if the AVGN has reviewed the game before and the finale in which the AVGN destroys a game. Something that the IG does in every, single, stinking episode. What a drag.
1.
The lack of boobs in his videos. Especially the lack of following boobs, in hawtness order:
NUMBER FIVE: That chick from The Saboteur
NUMBER FOUR: LUCY, YOU GOT SOME SPLAININ TO DO from Assassin’s Creed II
NUMBER THREE: WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT HAIR from Heavenly boobs
NUMBER TWO: Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy VII
NUMBER ONE: OMFG A GURL? From Metroid
As you can clearly see, the Irate Gamer is a complete and utter hack who has no idea what he’s doing. One thing that I forgot to mention throughout this blog is that the Irate Gamer has also made a video series called The History of Videogames. Unfortunately, he has only made like what, two videos? His excuse being that he needs to do research. Several months between videos is not making time to do research, brother. It’s called ripping us off. Although this is perhaps the only series where he gives out fact, and not an AVGN script. Gotta give him mad props for that. Unfortunately these are way to far apart a

Ugh, now what?
*BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH*
Marty, for the last time, I AM DOING THIS.
*BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH*
God damn it asshole. Fine. Tell me why people will think I’m a postwhore.
*Blaaaaaaaaah blah blah.*
Making the Irate Gamer the subject is not crying for attention. I just want to give my opi

Oh come on, the interview was fun. I don’t care if this happens all the time and that people flock to these blogs like
*Blah blah blah blah blah blah BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BLAH BLAH BLAH*
Just because I made a top 5 do

Two top fives, fine. SHUT UP MARTY. People here on Screwattack aren‘t idiots you know. I mean, just look at the praise and respect that Da
*BLAH BLAH BLAH*
You mad? *hangs up on Marty*
Prick.
The Angry Videogame Nerd is luckily a very good character created by a genius of a man who deserves mad props for almost everything that he does. Especially his Monster Madness series is highly entertaining and informative. The AVGN is partnered with Screwattack, and in extention GameTrailers. But Screwattack got to him first and that deserves some mad props as well. Screwattack.com is a great website featuring many internet staples right now like Stuttering Craig, Highschool Ben, Maxifent Corey, JoseElMexicano, Handsome To … oh … Whatever happened to that guy?
Ahwell, here’s some fanart I made to celebrate this awesome site:
