Make way for GameLife's dad: Video Masters TV
As princes of the Awkward Game Players' Society, the boys over at GameLife haven't really had much by way of competition. They've got the market cornered. So you can imagine my surprise when I was referred to a production entitled Video Masters TV -- could it be true? Another awkward gaming show on the internet? Holy crap, I can hardly wait! I watched and sure enough the host, John Gibson, didn't quite fit the role as defined by G4 or anything, but imagine my surprise when I learned that he was not only intelligent, but being an older gamer, extremely well informed on classic gaming. Hell, one of their episodes even has a Sin and Punishment review. Think of it as the US counterpart to Consolevania. The show is a bit rocky at points, but it's extremely well-executed for an amateur gig -- hell, I dunno if you could even call it that. Gibson's been working the homebrew gaming TV gig since 1995 (episodes which can also be seen on YouTube) and, judging by the guy's age, he's probably been playing games since the industry was just getting to its feet. Watch, enjoy, and be sure to check out the slew of other Video Masters TV episodes, both recent and decade-old. Hit the jump for onesuch hilarious clip from Gibson's 1993 show, Game Power, where he totally dorks out over Metroid passwords and Super Castlevania IV. Check this out! It's totally fresh! Sorry, John. Nothing but love for you. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)that was good.
best part is that it wasnt fake at all - noone wants to see a video game nerd trying to be "cool" Alot better then anything G4 has put out lately. (Thats not really saying much is it?)
Good stuff tho. Moves along a little slowly but that was a good show! That N64 game reminds me of the arcade version of GI Joe. Do you guys remember that game? It was the shit!!! Good times A good, clean, video game show that doesnt try to be anything that it really isnt. Props to these guys. Well I hear a lot of Korean people speak English in a Korean accent all the time. I bet my ears bleed more than yours. I deal with people here who are learning Japanese like me but they seem to make no effort to fix their accent. Its not just Americans though, foreigners from other countries as well have bad accents. Let the Koreans you know, know that their accent is bad so they can fix it. If they don't know then why would they try and change it?
Just watched the second video and it was totally FRESH!! I wonder if CastlevaniaIV is fresh enough to be funky fresh HA! Yeah, I understand about non-native J speakers, like myself, and you, Milofo. I've actually lived in Japan for about 9 years, and even with THAT, it's still difficult to get the accent spot-on, BUT, my wife said my performance on the Title wasn't THAT BAD!!! ;) I'm a r-tard, thought you were talking about the NES GI Joe game. But I do remember the arcade one, the shit it was indeed. :) Cross thing! said she; but she obeyed: and, indeed, the first classe order copegus online 4:02 AM on 11.04.2007 The best Rock Band performance you will ever seeRight before Destructoid and team took to the Rock Band stage at E For All, Geoff Mendicino and the rest of the FreezeCracker team took up Rock Band and performed "Detroit Rock City."
