Binging Bad Influence | Breaking Bad Influence | Series 4

[@tarnetskygge]

Sonya gives me vibes of a cat turned into a human by some sort of magical curse.

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

Possibly the most accurate description of her I've seen.

[@katieheys3007]

Haha! Absolutely spot on! She seems like the sort that would be a video game cat that mocks you for not realising her majesty

[@jc441-i3q]

When she was a cat she definitely ate Sheba cat food. I promise I'm not just saying that because Sheba's logo is a black cat. If Andy Crane was a cat he'd have standard issue Whiskas.

[@DrMxy]

You've been watching too much Red Dwarf :)

[@etherealpenguin8683]

@@DrMxy was gonna say, so basically the female version of the cat from red dwarf

[@MarkSkids]

This is insane. I am 41 years old and have never enjoyed a youtube series as much as this. Its well edited, funny, informative and incredibly nostalgic. Super proud of you for making something so amazing.

[@tomlegge4880]

Having binged the series 1-3 compilations over the last week, I was about to do the individual episodes of series 4, when the absolute legend only goes and uploads the marathon!

[@YouTubeMrP]

This video is funky, phat and Jurassic! I really like the 3D graphics and there’s lots of gore. This is a strategic video. 5 stars!

[@roblarson8952]

As A American this is my first exposer to Bad Influence your commentary was spot on I haven't laughed out so loud so much in a while do more of shows like this please.

[@MMattJ72]

'With a joystick? absolute mad man' genius as ever - keep it going

[@threetythreepercent]

This was a very watchable video, with excellent editing and great jokes. But if you’ve seen the previous 3 compilations, it’s just more of the same. It’s one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. 2 out of 5.

[@DerpyMcSquirtle]

Stumbled across this channel at random, watched the games master video and now watching the bad influence videos and I’ve never laughed so much in ages

[@tragiclantern]

Same. Sometimes the algorithm works!

[@atreidesN]

I assumed I’d found some old gold mine with the Gamesmaster retrospective. Turns out it’s fresh - the algorithm is actually doing some good!

[@simonRTJ]

Can we all just appreciate those Philips "Anubis" tvs being used in the studio. Gorgeous beasts they are.

[@nickmoranis2865]

So, Violet got to go to San Francisco, Sheffield, London, and hung around outside the studios for the entire series. Then japan! They could have at least sent her to Berlin. Andy would have pissed himself.

[@TheBeardsShow]

Dude your videos are Charlie Brooker level of funny. I cannot express how much I love these videos. Need a GamesMaster follow up.

[@legasalvini9808]

I am so lucky!. I've watching all his videos on BAD INFLUENCE from season 1 to season 3 which I finished just yesterday morning. And now he's just finished season 4. I play this video's for about 1 hour in the morning with my coffee before leaving for work. He makes me laugh so much. Thank you for all your efforts in thses videos, they bring joy. Simon

[@markguest5011]

I loved every minute of this video but it's just like series 1 - 3 of Breaking Bad Influence so I have to drop my review to 3 out of 5. "IT'S BORING AND UNSELLABLE!!"

[@Justinian-IV]

I don't remember Series 4, I was doing my GCSEs/ leaving school & starting my A Levels. I would like to say I grew out of gaming but I'm sure I was still watching Gamesmaster, come to think of it I think I may have missed series 3 of BA too.

[@UnexpectedAmy]

So glad I watched all of these. The quality of editing and the humour gets better and better with each episode. It's exciting and sellable! Really amazing work with this series, thanks so much for bringing back these memories, I don't want it to end!

[@smash461986]

It's a TV mash-em-up

[@Onestringpuppet]

Everything about this was amazing. 45 yr old British dude. My first computer was the zx spectrum. Really enjoyed this nostalgic series 🤘

[@ValChronification]

The graphics in this series are unbelievable and really help you enjoy the gameplay

[@TheInfiniteMiseryJumper]

"Andy, for the love of God, stop explaining eyes!" Legendary quote, absurdly perfect, couldn't be better... -3/5

[@GangsterFrankensteinComputer]

I can't get over how good these are. Please review all the classic British gaming TV shows.

[@tobysmith8925]

Just finished the 4 series of Breaking Bad Influence. Trying not to think about the amount of my life dedicated to this, but it was time well spent - I genuinely can't remember the last time I laughed so much. Absolutely loving the content - can't wait for Games Master series 2 👍

[@Dullrig]

This is without a doubt the funniest channel I've found since using this stupid platform god knows how long ago. I hope you eventually get the exposure you deserve!

[@Simon_Simon_Simon_Simon]

Was waiting for this, thank you!

[@richwood15]

Strongly suspect that Evil Violet is basically just Liz Truss.

[@burntreynolds1068]

Excellent timing! Ran out of episodes this morning.

[@alanwakeish]

Pro gamers, draining out all the fun of playing video games.

[@FredFuchs77]

Just wanted to say I’m really enjoying your videos.

[@penstroke2536]

Spot on with the timing, I just finished series 3. Thanks for the nostalgia trip. 👍

[@KC_Runz]

Words don't begin to do justice to how much I enjoy your videos 😂 A 41 year old man chuckling away as I binge watch before sleep, absolutely brilliant stuff! 👏🏻 The 'Balls' remix killed me 😆

[@Paul--W]

Like others I've just smashed through all four long form videos of this series and it's got me wishing there were a 5th series, I've not laughed this much in a long time. The KZbin algorithm rarely delivers but as a product of the 90's, I'm so glad I've discovered this channel.

[@fattomandeibu]

My dad's favourite game is Lemmings. He bought Lemmings 3D sometime around '99 or so and played it exactly once. I assume that will answer how good Lemmings 3D is.

[@TheBeird]

This is the series I most vividly remember. As dorky as Bad Influence was, it’s been fun to look back on it. It covered an exciting time in video games, probably the biggest transitional period in the medium. No doubt we’ll see a similar thing with GamesMaster

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

Well it seems as Bad Influence got worse YOU got better. Hilarious from the start but damn your commentary, editing and compositing is LEGEND! Binging on your videos was a pleasure RTS. Thx for the laughs :D

[@MentasmUK]

I've never seen anyone look less like Iain Lee than Iain Lee.

[@alisk222]

Just finished watching Series 1 to 4 and thoroughly enjoyed it all, from the awesome nostalgia hit to the wonderfully sarcastic wit. Many thanks for your awesome efforts!

[@grant3044]

Primal Rage, mentioned in episode 1, is actually a pretty fun fighting game. It rivaled Mortal Kombat and was an arcade hit before the SNES and Megadrive releases.

[@icelandicbanks6473]

I like it, too, but it's basically a step above Clay Fighter...which I also love. It's certainly no Ballz3D

[@mattfantastic9969]

Violet said "time to rub it out" twice talking about the artpad and you didn't leap on that, I'm not sure if I'm proud for skipping the low hanging fruit or disappointed

[@theelitemyt]

Thanks for these, I've been binging the binging bad influence anthology over the past few days as I've been laid up ill. It has helped make the time go by. Looking forward to the continuation of the GamesMaster ones, and perhaps maybe even stuff like Bad Level 10 and a proper look at Lan Jam too!

Oooh ya flucking dancer. On season 2 but so happy there is so much more to watch.

[@craiggilchrist4223]

You are wrong about Craig Mclachlan. He was a musician whilst he was in Neighbours and well known in Oz with his band Check 1 2.

[@TheSirAzzur]

Well done RoseTintedSpectrum and well-done Bethel Park Gaming as now the latter is at 313+1 from me and the formal well, enough of that, back to Binging Bad Influence with those mischievous and often puzzling kid reviewers and the downright stuck in the times hosts Andy Crane and Violet Berlin. Miss you Nam Rood and Zed.

[@icelandicbanks6473]

Their reviews and your reactions are always so funny! This stuff is all subjective but they really do manage to get it so wrong so often. Just no consistency and they absolutely whiff on some great games.

[@general_crap]

I don't really remember the show that well, but I have enjoyed watching your series so much. So funny, thanks for making this. Going to dive into your channel now I've finished all of the breaking bad influence.

[@simonRTJ]

Youve excelled yourself sir!, this was superbly written and edited. it must have taken a huge amount of work! the helicopter sim over a candle brought me to tears! you should do Thumb Bandits. even on the last ever episode get Ian Lee on with you.

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

It didn't take too much work, just 4 entire years of my poor, poor life to get through every series.

[@simonRTJ]

@@RoseTintedSpectrum well its a love letter to this show, I loved it and I was a little older than the target audience, with your Brit-wit (I just made that up) and banter is the greatest of praise, i'm not surprised that Violet loves it. I would assume "nice guy mild mannered Andy" would enjoy this too. Living in NZ I don't experience this type of cultural idiosyncrasy is misunderstood. well done.

Your commentary is funny af, but after an hour of this, the remaining brain cells i have left need to rest. I'll pick it back up tomorrow. 😅

[@sonicology]

33:12 Summary: Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because that kid was already dead.

[@DrMxy]

Glad you waited until the end to mention the Mario coin noise, can't unhear it now.

[@lanceuppercut3498]

This has been a joy. Just binged all 4 series omnibus videos. So much to unpack. Andy is bonkers, shame you couldn't (unless you tried) get him with Violet, posh boy and Iain for the last episode game review, that was brilliant. But boy I only saw a few here and there originally as just started working. But overall the show was a mixed bag of okay to WTF 1:23:08 for the next 1 minute and a half had me laughing out load I want more of Andy "Boring And Unsellable" Crane oh and Andy at 3:45:25 may give me nightmares for the rest of life. Now do the rest of Gamesmaster, sorry but has to be done. Oh and one more thing. Dear lord I though Gamezville was the TV gaming show I had ever seen on TV, Then I saw Lan Jam, and those two animated assclowns, utter bobbins of a show.

[@Nosaveddataretro]

Tbf that video game slam show looks pretty good. I 100% would have watched that back in the day. It's got a troma feel about it

[@RoyBatty16]

Only stumbled on these compilations recently, so made a point of putting time aside for each one. But for some reason I started on season 4...

[@Lordborak316]

How does Sonya eat when she can't unclamp her teeth?

[@AmarylisFlow]

Sonia was really ringing out the death knell of all sorts of consoles in episode one there…

[@RyujiTwin]

Episode 1 predicts a big year for the Atari Jaguar. If Atari don’t hurry up they will make that posh presenter a lair. Episode two: I wonder what happened to Sassy Susan. She could have 3 kids and stuck in a loveless marriage by now watching bad influence episodes on VHS in the evening with a bottle of wine shouting a her husband she used to be someone

Super handheld successor to the Game Boy was also comedy gold. Virtual Boy. Andy Crane’s mum was a super handheld.

I wasn't expecting a Frank Spencer reference in 2024. Delightful. Also, I think the female Gladiator might be Vogue (aka Suzanne Cox).....and then I watched a bit more and heard Andy clearly call her 'Vogue'. FML, that's a solid 20 mins of internet research for nothing!

I've played Privateer 2. Clive was actually correct, for the most part. About 90% of the regular cutscenes end with "Clive says yes." or "Clive says no." And the other 10% were "Yes you have the thing!" or "No you do not have the thing."

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

It's so weird seeing them hype up the M2. I had a 3DO well after it was obvious that it was doomed and it was cheap as chips, but I remember the official magazine trying to get people excited for the M2 and it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that it would never come out because they kept claiming that the M2 would be more and more advanced every couple of months. It went from being about on par with the Nintendo 64 to being the first 128bit console, but it was cancelled before the Dreamcast had even come out. I do believe that the 3DO would probably have been quite successful if the PlayStation hadn't come out, as it would have probably had a decent shot against the Saturn and the 64. The former was just as expensive and offered worse deals for software licensing and the latter still used cartridges, meaning games were too expensive and couldn't have as much content. Sony's real edge was poaching all the people enticed by the cheap licensing by being only slightly more expensive to make games for, but having much more streamlined 3D rendering options due to the use of triangles over quads. Imagine a world where 3D games still all used quads like the 3DO and Saturn.
