Owe.

Mie.

Ghaahhd.
He done did got it for free, too.

Could have just given him a fucking Dio album, it's all the same, he wouldn't even know the difference. The man is mentally challenged after all.

The Lair of Metal Jesus Rocks: Where donated retro games go to get... idk, flushed down the toilet?

Tits.

Because I am a masocihst I watched the entire video.

GOD I HATE THESE VIDEOS ("latest pickups")...

Anyway, he mentioned that he worked for Sierra back in the day...does anyone know what his actual job title was? Just curious.

Anyway, I still think that there are a lot of folks who are much, much worse than Metal JESUS, so I just laugh at this goofball.

For example, NO JOKE, I had never watched even a second of a "pewdiepie" video before. Sure, I heard of him, but never watched anything. DEAR LORD HE IS ABOMINABLE. I couldn't stomach more than 45 seconds. I can't believe he has not been tarred and feathered for his antics.

So, Metal JESUS is the least of my problems. Ha!

That I wouldn't doubt he doesn't come off as especially bright. Granted his big claim to fame seems to stem more from being in some FMV section of one game they made where he is "playing" a guitar looking all 80s rock.

He featured his cameo in one of his videos, but I couldn't be bothered to pin point which video of his this was in.

This Toolet Mignon is out of control. I will find his 2 seconds of non-fame...

HailingTheThings · 02/20/2015, 02:30 AM

I think Metal Jerbus was a secretary or something along those lines, though I'm probably wrong. I'm pretty sure he mentioned what he kinda did, but didn't come right out and say. Let me go look...

Got bored after looking for 5 seconds. We'll just say secretary-ish thing... which I think is what he is currently doing at some new company that hired him because his friend Drunken Master Paul put in the good word. Why do I know this? Jerzus-effck I retain way too much useles information. Fucking youtube. Gotta stop watching shitty videos when I'm tired. Hah.

eldritch · 02/20/2015, 04:02 AM

MJesus said in one of his vids that he worked at Sierra as a game tester if I recall correctly.
But it's the only one I watched because I find him both visually and orally repulsive.

A guy I really like a lot is lukemorse, cause he lives in Japan (home country of my wife) and really knows how to fix old systems. He also makes vids of his bike ramblings in Tokyo and tests weird Japanese foods and drinks. Check him out, he's the epitome of coolness

NecroPhile · 02/20/2015, 10:31 AM

Epitome? I think the word you meant to use was 'antithesis'.

I wouldn't say the guy pisses me off but I find his collection pretty ridiculous, I don't understand the point of buying games just for the sake of collecting. Also I watched a video a while back where he was talking about how he got into the hobby, and it was just sort of a fluke and he pretty much is in it just to collect. Seems like he doesn't care for playing the games much. wacko

I was never even aware he was married or had kids. He always came off as some sort of single western guy living it up in Japan.

In fact knowing how small most houses even more so apartments are in Japan I always wondered how the hell he would fit half the stuff he has. Those candy cabs alone. Sure he has said something about having a storage unit but yeah.

CGQuarterly · 02/21/2015, 08:27 PM

LukeMorse is way too full of himself.

John Hancock? The dude markets a DVD set that you can buy that basically just shows off his collection. It's some kind of "how to collect for..." kind of shit, but at the end of the day it's just a one-man circlejerk.

One time I was at PRGE and I was chatting it up with a few show volunteers, and they were telling me how Hancock was acting like a huge prima donna. I think their exact words were "that guy is an asshole". It never ceases to amaze me how anyone who is part of the retrogaming scene could ever get a big head. I once heard a story that involved Pete Dorr using the phrase "Do you know who I am" as a means of getting his way at a gaming convention. A fucking brown streak on the underwear of life is what you are, Pete.

geise · 02/21/2015, 08:40 PM

lol lukemorse shows you how to not fix a pcb the right way. if you're that amateurish with fixing shit don't put up a video. Anyways MJ is terrible and I can't believe this thread has gone on this long. Seems like people that hate him still check out his shit.

A lot of these jokers have some kind of "How to collect for X system" videos and frankly, I find it absolutely baffling. Not simply that someone would make such a video, but that others would actually watch it. What could possibly need to be explained? "Uhhhhh, so like, that system you want. Yeah, first you buy that, then you buy the games." I don't get it.

As for Luke Morse, well, that's a whole other wad of WTF. The guy will drop stupid amounts of money on PCBs, games, systems, and then he goes at them with a shitty, corroded $20 soldering iron. I used to watch his videos when I first got into modding about a year ago, but I knew immediately there were better examples to follow. If you search for his "final video" on YouTube, someone else re-upped it with a lulzy description.

And heavy handed to boot.

Watch a few of his earlier vids before he invested in a tripod. He handles rare pieces of console hardware as if he's stress-testing their durability.

Arkhan Asylum · 02/22/2015, 03:57 AM

collectors are mostly idiots.

I am pretty much tired of all of the gaming YouTube channels.

It's all the same:

1) Person in front of shelves of bullshit they haven't touched/won't touch/haven't touched in 15+ years
2) carefully placed "rare" items for maximum cool. Congrats. You have stuff other people also have.
3) retarded opinions/statements that shout "I just wikipedia'd this". Thanks for nothing.

sometimes you get a little variety:

1) Shitty camera use (a'la middle school movie project). If you are going to make a channel, buy a tripod, fuckface.
2) annoying introduction. Nobody cares about your tacky Windows Movie Maker transitions/logo/crap.
3) cue-card style talking. Because you didn't already sound like a tool.

what you never get:

1) Anything you actually give a fuck about
2) time wasted back.

The only gaming channel I can even watch is AVGN. He's a character. You go into it expecting stupidity and exaggeration.

And then you watch James/Mike Mondays and you get something un-fucking-heard of:

1) Gamers playing a game, and bullshitting amongst themselves while doing it.
2) actual reactions/statements on the game being played

I might have already said this in this thread but I am too lazy to look.

I've found that on this forum you may sometimes find a bunch of guys having a sargasm all over what you said. Respond how you want but for me what works is ignoring it, being nice, or responding with friendly sarcasm.

Besides him just seeming like the king of all collectards instead of an actual gamer, it bugs me he reviews stuff you can buy (and sometimes ONLY buy) from the same company whose commercial runs in front of his vids. I don't know if he's unbiased or not, but once you're making money off of some stuff, you should probably recuse yourself from reviewing said stuff IMO.

I breathlessly await the awesome reviews for Sydney Hunter. 10/10/10/10 GOTY!

Problem is he comes off as the lackey of the person everyone else came to hangout with and we only put up with it because the fun guy hasn't ditched you yet.

I get he was around for along time usually helping with the videos and playing the part of some costumed so and so. But his personality just brings down what I like in any AVGN video.

I don't mind his personality so much, but he just doesn't seem to click so well with James, atleast on video. Mike can be something of an asshole when playing games, while James is more aloof while trying to force some comedy. He doesn't respond to Mike's banter very well.

Either way I'd like to play games with the guys

Arkhan Asylum · 02/23/2015, 10:29 PM

Sometimes Mike sounds a little knobby and seems like he forgets he's now on the internet, and anything doofy he says is out there forever.

I kinda chuckle when he tries excusing a fuckup while playing.

Just admit it, you fucked up.

Just watched the newest Metal Jesus on shooters and it was pretty bad:

They have PC Engine games mixed in with TG16 games and dont mention that you cannot actually play them without a convertor or region switch.

He also couldn't remember 100% if the TG16 controller has turbo switches so he must not actually use his much.

Isn't this considered a defining feature of the console? Before I got into pce/tg16 I always thought of it as the console with stock turbo controllers. I mean it's the turbo-grafx ffs.

I will forgive him for "Zen" because I do much better in games when I "become one with them" (achieving a state of ohmmmm) instead of being totally anxious/stressed out (and/or in a state of panic).

The only Metal Jesus video I want to watch is the one where he describes the games he traded all his teeth for. Then have cameos of these people who are now experts in dentistry only because they have his teeth.

"4/5 dentists with Metal Jesus teeth choose Playstation 2!"
