Odd description:
“Originally I thought I was going to do a video on the NES version of Paperboy 2, so Mike and I decided to stream it last week!”
She’s straight up telling you that she’s only playing this thing, on stream, for money, because she plans to do a Youtube video of it.
0:00 – “We’re going to be practicing some Paperboy 2 on the NES and maybe go on to Paperboy 2 on the Super Nintendo because I want to do a video on this but I want to get some more practice so that’s what we’re going to do.”
Yeah. Again, she’s saying that she’s only playing this because she plans to do a video on it.
I’ve been saying for years that Erin should say this. And…I appreciate the new found candour but it doesn’t seem to go far enough. I think that the issue is that she doesn’t say in the Youtube videos that she only played the game recently, for the first time ever, on stream, for money.
But anyway, she wants more practice at the game. So naturally, it has to be done on stream, for money.
“We both really like this game.”
So much so that Erin flat out refuses to play the game unless she’s getting paid.
0:15 – Mike is talking about how he played the arcade game at Funspot in New Hampshire. Erin says, “I’m jealous.”
Uhhh…yeah. I don’t think so.
If Erin is just chomping at the bit, wanting to go out and play all of these retro arcade games, what’s stopping her? She’s never done this in her life.
Does Funspot still exist? It does. So take a trip. It’s not that far from rural Pennsylvania. Take a romantic trip to Funspot. There’s no need to make an obvious sex joke here. I’m being serious. The historical Funspot Family Fun Center in Laconia, New Hampshire. Founded in 1952.
Wait…what arcade games were there in 1952? Oh. Like fortune teller machines and those dancing clown things and shooting games and primitive pinball machines and whatnot. I saw something about old arcade machines that had live animals in them. You press a button and the animal would be jostled into doing something. I guess.
1:30 – Mike is talking about Star Trek: Voyager. Erin says, “I’ve never seen Voyager.”
What a surprise that is. But Erin claimed to be such a big Star Trek fan not even two years ago. It was in that video where Mike was showing her Star Trek t-shirts and she had difficulty identifying the characters. She was looking at a t-shirt of Captains Kirk and Picard and couldn’t identify either one of them.
Big Star Trek fan.
2:00 – Mike is being condescending. “Look at you! Pro. Pro work.”
He knows full well that she sucks ass at video games and doesn’t know anything about them. We all know. Why doesn’t Erin just come out and say it? Why does she continue to present herself as someone who knows about and enjoys video games?
2:30 – Mike says, “I’m not great at this game so this will be a good competition.”
See?
3:45 – Ha! Erin said “boing”! That’s her catchphrase. That’s funny, right?
4:30 – Mike says, “Robert Picardo” just out of nowhere. I think he’s reading from the chat. Star Trek superfan Erin has no idea what he’s talking about.
Wait a minute. I thought that he was on Deep Space Nine. But no. It was Voyager. I watched Deep Space Nine for a few seasons but I didn’t think that I watched any Voyager. I must have, though because I recognised the name and I know the character. And he was Coach Cutlip from The Wonder Years.
Oh yeah. With Captain Janeway and the big titted Borg. I probably watched the first season before moving on to less nerdy endeavours.
6:15 – Ha! She said “boing” again. Classic Erin Plays.
6:45 – “Thank you SuperGamerGal for subscribing.”
This is surely Erin’s BFF SuperVideoGameGal. She hasn’t uploaded in over a month and she deleted her last video. I reviewed it here:
https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2021/01/life-update-and-my-new-year-goals.html
That was some embarrassing shit. She proselytizes for Screenwave Media.
She also closed her Twitter and Instagram. So she must be on a social media break to work on her mental health. That seems to be something that these gamer grrls do with some regularity. Social media really seems to cause mental health problems for these ladies. I don’t know why. I never used this shit. But yeah, obviously if it’s causing you distress, don’t use it. It’s not a big deal.
7:30 – Erin finishes the obstacle course, presumably for the first time ever, and engages in an annoying, fake celebration. She also knocked down one of the targets and laughed about it, apparently not realising that that’s one of the goals of this section. You’re supposed to knock down the targets.
8:00 – “So this is the furthest I’ve gotten. I’ve never made it to the third day.”
Erin…you played the game ONCE before. On stream, for money. We don’t need these pointless and misleading updates.
9:15 – Mike dies right away so restarts the game. Erin, rightly, protests.
What a little bitch. Has to restart the game. He just has to beat Erin on this shitty game from 30 years ago, on stream, for money. Even with one life down, he still would have beat her.
10:45 –
Mike: How many people in the chat are experts on Paperboy 2?
Erin: There’s like nobody. They’re like…uhhh…no one.
Erin said that immediately without even looking at the chat. She actually thinks that Paperboy 2 is some kind of hidden gem. Because ALL games are obscure to Erin.
15:00 – “This is a very stressful game for me but very chill at the same time. It’s addicting.”
She must have used the word “addicting” 100 times while playing this game in the two streams that she did and the Youtube video. She seems to get these hang ups. She’ll use the same word or phrase over and over and over again.
For example, there was that period where she kept saying, “It’s where my heart is” about EVERYTHING.
15:15 – “I feel like people shit on this game but I like it, you like it.”
She’s so fake-excited for this game that she just discovered that she’ll never play again in her life.
Hey guys! I discovered this cool new game! Paperboy 2! I’m really addicted to it! Get ready for repeated streams of this shit and a Youtube video!
Just play this shit in your spare time, Erin. You don’t have to subject the world to this. Same with Castlevania. If you like the game, play it in your spare time. Not on stream, for money. We’ve seen that already.
15:30 – “I’ve played this one A LOT more than the first one.”
At this point, Erin has played Paperboy 2 for two hours IN HER LIFE. And she says that she played it “A LOT” more than the first one. So she must have played the first one just mere seconds.
Then Mike dies. He didn’t get nearly as far as Erin did but he was only 600 points behind her. So he must have been doing something that Erin wasn’t doing.
16:30 – Mike starts doing his Inspector Gadget impression. This is probably a good time to stop.
– “Good to see the couple together. The couple that plays together stays together.”
On stream, for money.
