[@aceyspud551]

I’m glad you’re one of the rage gamers that stuck around, these vids are like comfort food that take me back to a simpler time.

[@FCV0511]

Perhaps the best part about these new videos is that your enthusiasm for doing them is still quite evident. Keep up the great work! :D

[@stevenburnett9101]

That's glue in the floor of the garage level, it makes sense since it slows you down a ton! Thanks for all uploading, someone said irate in a video and it immediately gave me nostalgia flashbacks

[@joshramos4814]

To be completely honest, way better than any AVGN episode recently!

[@ice_cube8302]

Yeah I'm honestly shocked but he got a good chuckle out of me for the Armake joke as well as the breakfast club shit. Unlike the slobs he's embracing the meme and its fucking working out fantastically.

[@jeaninneoliver14]

Yep.

[@Redmist-se7ld]

I’d say both are better

[@varicosevaynes]

He’s definitely taking it in strides, and I have high respects for him continuing to do what he does despite it all, but it’s not fair to assume AVGN can’t take a joke either. He and nostalgia critic and a lot of the other guys from that era (except linkara) can still appreciate that if people enjoy their content ironically, it’s still being enjoyed nonetheless.

[@kejiri3593]

Eh AVGN is still fun. Sure i think podcasts sucks, but episode wise its fun

[@DiS_Gaming]

Been a fan of yours since the early days, so it's great to see that you're still going at it. I would argue that in terms of consistent quality, you are definitely one of the front runners even after all this time. Keep up the good work.

[@henrybierman8431]

He is probably more consistent than AVGN because you can't get much worse than irate gamer. AVGN has really gone down in quality over the past two years though

[@larrylaffer3246]

I liked the Genesis Version best. It was on that unique J-Cart architecture. It had 2 slots in the cartridge to plug in additional controllers so you could play 4-Player without a multi-tap.

[@intel386DX]

Yes even 8 players (2 persons shares one conroler)

[@thewingedavenger1007]

Yeah the Genesis version is the best, but not by much because the NES and SMS versions are great.

[@ryanhodge9342]

Can't wait for a new video Chris! I've spent the last 2 months rewatching every Irate Gamer, and Ghost Doctor video over and over every day with my family. We all can't wait!!

[@BigHushAffiliate]

Aaaaaaaaand, he’s gone again.

[@Ranuyasha]

It is not his focus. He does other stuff like Ghost Doctor and Puppet Steve

[@Nucleite]

I'm gonna be going back to my old childhood spots, and I had to come back to see you, since you were a big part of my childhood.

[@MizfitZer0]

06:46 I believe they are blobs of glue, hence why when you go over them it makes you go slow

[@lancetastick]

Searched the comments to find this to make sure somebody had let this Irate Guy know what is up. Yep, globs of glue is what I always thought. They also have that whitish reflection/shimmer graphic clear glue would have.

[@95JakX]

Chris that intro sequence has had quite an overhaul since the good old days! It made the kid in me who discovered you with your “Jaws” video really happy to see. I’m glad you’re still making videos and having fun!

[@MegaMitchZero]

Nice outro. Breakfast (is ruined) Club is one nostalgic overload.

[@user-ig9vo1pq4d]

Is it me or are Irate Gamer’s new videos actually way better than AVGN’s new videos?

[@ice_cube8302]

Its not you. There's been a whole thing about this going on for about over a year now but recently it's been found that screenwave is basically writing the episodes for James and he sorta churns them out in a factory work style. James made a video where he talks about how he makes his videos and shows it and there's a lot of stuff in the video that shows how he has this baffling setup and by his own methodology of how he makes his videos, has made it take way longer as well as all look exactly the same. Basically even though he's the innovator of the genre, he himself failed to progress with the innovation and eventually reverted to "Small episodes".

[@ToHoldNothing]

Kind of an unfair comparison, not sure Chris has a family or is involved with such a big company that demanded the output that nearly pushed him to burnout.

[@jimmyjunks]

@@ToHoldNothing he actually does have a family I believe. He also has various other projects. He comes in & goes in waves & unfortunately the hype for his stuff died down but he makes top tier content, in my opinion.

[@ToHoldNothing]

@@jimmyjunks I feel like he's literally recycled stuff at times, but this seems new, unless I forgot him doing a Jurassic Park video game review before I can understand wanting to capitalize on timely stuff, I'm releasing some text reviews of a Norse mythology animated film and a minor Super Pets related short next month, given what's being released

[@FlyinTonite]

“Saccapuntas” omg it’s amazing seeing someone who loves that word as much as I do. I had no idea game genie wasn’t an official Nintendo product. Always cool to learn a little bonus fact watching you.

"Babe wake up, a new Irate Gamer is out!"

[@carlosturko1081]

I just have a blast, an absolute blast watching irate gamer videos. Wish they would come more frequently.

[@Doommaster1994]

Fun fact: The NES version was composed by Matt Gray, the same composer responsible for such gems as The Last Ninja and Driller for the Commodore 64, among several other soundtracks.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

"Breakfast isn't gonna be ruined today." I can already tell this is gonna be a great episode. :P

[@FableCountry]

i haven't watched you in awhile, chris but y'know, this was really entertaining and interesting. i watched it the whole way through. i grew up with micromachines and i had no idea the company had released games based on those. it's also refreshing and comforting to know you're still here, despite everything that's happened over the past decade. i'll sub and look forward to what you come out with next.

[@funkalicious2002]

The "paperclip" things in the garage levels are puddles of glue.

[@Musicradio77Network]

This “Micro Machines” NES was made by the same people that brought you “Quattro Adventure”, Camerica. It was later released on the Aladdin Deck Enhancer for the NES in a small cartridge in which the Gaming Historian as mentioned.

loved micro machines. i remember getting pieces of road as a kid and being so disappointed because even though it was 2 lane roads there wasnt enough room for 2 micro machines to actually pass each other

[@orionsmithey3009]

I like the irate gamer more than the avgn.

[@lyrabelacqua4120]

I started rewatching these, I noticed all of your references of your episodes, “what the f is this muscle” I love how you embrace the past, it shows your dedication to writing which I feel like people don’t realize.

[@circle1552]

Oh my God, I had Micro Machines V3 on the PS1 when I was a kid. Loved that game so much

[@SuperJim]

Good to see the Violet Berlin character cameo not get a mention - she was massive in the UK as a games presenter - they gave her a character in the game ♥️

[@irategamer]

Never heard of her in the US. Interesting fact though

I'm working on something else right now very top secret. Sorry i cant reveal just yet. Hopefully it pans out soon

[@lordbritannic]

In micro machines 2 the character Violet Berlin is based on a host of video game review TV show called "Bad Influence!"

[@psyvientx7407]

Wow awesome video, and you went pretty far when attempting to eat the cars as cereal lol as a fan I think you are awesome even though that attempt was a bit not safe, you still did it for us IG fans !!

[@mrdavisdance]

I used to watch you over a decade ago when I was still a kid, glad to see you’re still at it

[@agnidas5816]

This game legit was ahead of its time. I still haven't seen anything re-create the fun either. Not in the same way ... the new micro machines games hard force you onto a track - it is a very bad racing game which happens to make you look like you are driving around a kitchen. The original was more fun than anything .. and the art direction was so charming. People try paying your artists... In the 2nd game for Sega they began to introduce more and more ideas of a locked-in track and it the charm is lost.

[@jtszabo1691]

I remember playing the NES ones as a kid, used to get those from the local video store. Love the Breakfast Club reference at the end, one of my favorites

[@theendoftheuniverse]

Micro Machines V4 are my favorite. Love that game. I even organized half official MMV4 tournament.

The workshop "Paperclips" are globs of silicone or clear glue.

I hope you make more Irate Gamer episodes when you feel motivated. Its fun seeing you back again!

[@Markimark151]

Micro Machines has one of the best 4 player mode in the 8-16 bit era, and the Sega Genesis version even had a built in multitap with two controller ports in the cartridge!

[@Steveman27]

I like how Chris included Armake21 in the video the way he did.

[@MMUSHcom]

I played the crap outta the PS1 version more than anything. Man, those were the good ol days. Playing them again using RetroArch was a pleasant realization that it actually aged really really well and I have just as much fun in my 30s playing it as I did as a kid.

[@johannarawls]

Thank you very much for videos like this and the classic nostalgia vibes!

[@nightowl832]

Man, I remember having the Super Van City set for Micro Machines. I used to love those little cars. Unfortunately I lost it after moving, but still this brings back fond memories of my childhood.

[@chrisbenoit5935]

Hey, its good to see you happy doing these reviews. It warms my heart seeing someone so happy and I'm happy for you that you overcame trolls on the internet. I had a good time watching this review and hope you make more. Hope all is well. And i hope you never stop doing what you love.

[@irategamer]

Thanks for the kind words. I have such a blast doing these. They take so long to produce though so I had to pull back on production lately

Used to be a hater I appreciate you now.

Its fantastic that your still making great videos, Keep it up IG your the OG 😊❤️☕

[@SimmyBassline]

This game is a Codemasters classic! Its the best on the Mega Drive with the J-Cart, me and my mates played it on 4 player mode so much! It always caused arguments and very serious rivalry!

[@d.t.simonbelmont]

It’s always a great day when you get a new Irate Gamer episode! Love the content, Chris! Keep it up! 😁👍

[@thejackal007]

Take it from someone who just started playing the World Series game on the PC a few weeks ago... you might want to revise that recommendation. I wanted to like it, but like so many other reviews, it was really hard to give it passing grades for much of anything. Even though it doesn't have the MM license, Toybox Turbos, made by Codemasters as well, is basically everything the MM license could have asked for, just without the official support.

[@OmegaNineProfile]

Been a while. Glad to see you back. And not dead.

[@reactionnerd3650]

Chris nails it AGAIN with another awesome video!

[@SoulCaliburGal]

My mom used to have the Genesis version. It was an NTSC copy, but strangely enough, it used altered music and sound effects that were present from an obscure VA1 version of the game that was released in PAL regions. I've searched around for it, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. We don't have it anymore, which kinda sucks, considering it was probably rare and maybe kinda valuable. Oh well.

[@crushbeast29]

As the AVGN's content has gone downhill over the years, yours has improved significantly. This coming from a 15 year long viewer of the nerd.
