Good news: It’s only a little more than 10 minutes long (getting those Youtube ad revenue pennies)
Bad news: It’s Erin Plays
I reviewed part one of this “series” here:
https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2021/03/top-blockbuster-nes-rentals-in-1991.html
The concept for the video doesn’t even make sense. But I’ve gone over this. Let’s just move on.
0:00 – “Hey guys! It’s time to sit back and imagine you’re back in the time of Blockbuster and Hollywood Video.”
Weird grammar. But where does Hollywood Video come from? This is about Blockbuster. Kind of. But not at all. As we’ll soon see.
0:15 – “I’ll cover other consoles and years in future videos so don’t worry.”
WHY? Why is she hanging on to this IDIOTIC idea?
Some horntard gave her a list of the most popular videos in Blockbuster by system and year. Who gives a fuck? Let me DuckDuckGo this shit.
Well, I can’t find a comprehensive list but if you go to Wikipedia and search for “(year) in video games” there’s a section for “top rentals according to Blockbuster Video.” Like here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_in_video_games#Top_rentals_according_to_Blockbuster_Video
They break it down by console and month.
So now that we all have this information, we don’t need Erin and her shitty “reviews” of games that she’s never played before. Not even for the purposes of making this video. Maybe you don’t understand what I’m saying so let me be clear. She’s actually going to “review” games that she NEVER PLAYED BEFORE. AT ALL! NOT EVEN FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS VIDEO!
Let me illustrate what I mean because this is just so insane that I think that people out there still don’t understand what I’m talking about. Here’s the list according to Wikipedia:
Tecmo Super Bowl
Kirby’s Adventure
Mega Man 6
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
The Jungle Book
Mario’s Time Machine
Wario’s Woods
Now, I’ve never played The Jungle Book. So here’s my review of the game.
The Jungle Book was an NES game released in 1994. It was based on the Disney movie of the same name. It’s a good game. It’s a lot of fun. You should definitely check it out.
I have no idea what The Jungle Book game even looks like. I assume it’s a platformer but I wasn’t sure so I didn’t include that in my “review”. I just said superficial, generic shit because I don’t know anything about the game and I’ve never played it before.
This is what Erin is going to do now.
So she started with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters and…yeah. It’s exactly what I said. Just generic shit. She never played this game once in her life. She doesn’t know anything about it. I don’t know where she stole the gameplay footage from but it’s definitely not her playing the game.
2:15 – Now it’s Mario’s Time Machine. She recently played this on stream, for money. I review it here:
https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2021/04/i-cant-believe-i-streamed-this-marios.html
“Where do I even start with this one?”
I have an idea: “I’ve never played this before!” Bring that classic back.
“I think most of us have been victimised by this game at some point.”
No. I’ve never played it. I dare say that most people watching have never played it. It wasn’t popular. It only became a “meme” many years later. Whatever a “meme” is. I’m probably always misusing the term.
But Erin doesn’t know any of this, of course.
This is definitely footage of her playing the game. It’s from this stream. And you can tell it’s her because she’s god awful at the game.
Compare this footage to the competent footage of TMNT: Tournament Fighter.
And she’s fucking recycling the same fucking “jokes” that she used on stream, for money. She comments on the portraits of Donkey Kong and Yoshi. “Why would Bowser have portraits of Donkey Kong and Yoshi?” And she comments on how the museum looks like a cemetery. She wants two of the “cute” star statues outside of “her” house. The enemies look one of those dancing flowers outside of K B Toys. It’s the exact same fucking “jokes” that she made on stream, for money. Identical. No changes. And no new “jokes”. This shit was just so fucking hilarious, she nailed it the first time, why change anything?
4:45 – The Jungle Book. Really bad gameplay so maybe this is her.
6:00 – Tecmo Super Bowl.
6:30 – “I’m not going to pretend like I’ve played this game a tonne.”
OR AT ALL. This is all bullshit.
“But there’s plenty of more in depth reviews out there, if you’re interested in that sort of thing. I do like the sunset in the intro, though.”
Complete dogshit. She spent about ten seconds on this “review”.
6:30 – Kirby’s Adventure.
Kirby is cute and he’s pink. That’s the “review”.
She also makes a reference to Rainbow Brite. You guys like Rainbow Brite, right? Because Erin has a lot to say about Rainbow Brite recently.
If you don’t like Rainbow Brite, don’t worry. She’ll forget about it soon enough. But for right now, she’s pretending to be obsessed with Rainbow Brite. Maybe next month, it will be Popples. She’s so *nostalgic* for Popples. Until she moves on to the next fake *nostalgia* item from before she was born.
7:45 – Mega Man VI.
8:00 – “It always boggles my mind when I think that there were six games in the same series released on the same console.”
She’s said this MANY times. GET OVER IT!
8:45 – Wario’s Woods. Slightly odd pronunciation.
9:45 – “What year or system would you like to hear about next?”
None of them. We can all go to Wikipedia and see what the top rentals were for ourselves. We don’t need you to do a shitty “review” of these games that you’ve never played before.
It just doesn’t make sense. What the fuck does Blockbuster have to do with these videos?
Why doesn’t she use the top selling games list? That would make slightly more sense. The list is just from Babbage’s but still, one could argue that these were the most popular games of the year. I don’t think that you can really say the same thing about rentals.
Hey guys! Remember Babbage’s? I…don’t think so. No, I don’t think that I’ve ever been to such a place.
I used to have some kind of loyalty card for Egghead Software. Hey guys! Remember Egghead Software? I went there for like two years at the most and then they shut down.
I liked going there better than Best Buy, though. Best Buy was a huge box store, Egghead was a boutique shop. But then when Egghead shut down, I was stuck with Best Buy. And then years later, that Best Buy became….some other electronics store that starts with a “C” I think. But Best Buy still existed, it just moved down the street. Anyway, I wasn’t buying games at this point. Steam was out. But I bought some Simpsons DVDs from there.
Let’s check out the comments.
– Hi Erin, how are you? Greetings from El Salvador.
First time I see a video of you of this type. They are very good for being cataloged by year. I would like one from 1987 if you can. I think Blockbuster had not yet come to my country for 1994. It’s funny to imagine that you rented games in that place.
I loved the comparison you made between Kirby and Rainbow Brite, because I loved that cartoon. For 1994, my NES had recently been sent to me from the USA, so the only game I knew was the one that came inside: Super Mario Bros. 3 (bundle that I still have complete and in good condition) and a few games that I saw in store windows and drug stores, like Mario is Missing for the SNES.
P.S. You look very cute on the thumbnail 😉
Good luck with that shit.
– “Do u do video of psp gamplay”
She never played a PSP.
– “You are cute”
– “Fantastic video. Your comment about the sunset in the Tecmo Superbowl intro made me laugh”
This guy is a real fan of female “comedy”. Or so he claims.
– “I remember a buddy of mine had Mario is missing for the Snes and it was terrible. I thought he had this game too but he says he didnt.”
I hate people who say “buddy” like that. It’s so low brow. “I’m having some beer with my buddies and then we’re all going to take our shirts off and tickle each other.” Cool.
– “Nice vídeo! Even writing in English, I don’t understand anything about what it says only that the video entertains well.”
It’s like watching foreign language porn for these losers, I guess. You don’t need to know what’s being said. That’s not what you’re there for.
– “How about rentals form the year 1990”
Here you go, Hilson. Go nuts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_in_video_games#Best-selling_home_video_games
No Blockbuster list. Presumably because they weren’t renting video games then. But you can see the top selling games.
– “I was still in the military then with no car so I didn’t do much renting at Blockbuster. I did rent after I was discharged but only 16 bit games and I did buy a rental copy of Ninja Gaiden 3 from Blockbuster and some SNES games.”
Hey Erin! Do you like 50 year old ex-military guys? If so, hit me up!
– “@Erin Plays. If a fan wanted to start corresponding with you, or go out on a date😂, what would be the best,if any way to go about that? Because i got this desire😍😂 to get to know Erin.”
This guy was slightly less subtle than that military guy.
Well, he has a completely blank profile. No picture. No videos. No comments. No information about him whatsoever. But I like his odds.
– “Don’t you just wish you could still Rock up to Blockbuster video and rent some nes or snes games? Its the simple pleasures that could make like so much better.”
Why would I rent them? I have them. I have the entire NES and SNES library on my computer. And if you don’t want to take the 15 minutes required to download the torrent, you can just go to one of these sites that lets you play the game in your browser. All of the games. You’re aware of this, right?
– “She thicc ya know this man”
Yo yo yo. I think it’s a white guy, by the way. A white guy trying to sound black. His username is “john cena”. I just don’t think that a black guy would use that name.
– “ClayFighter 63 1/3 Sculptors cut was the biggest rip off. I hope no collector LEGIT wants that game in their collection in mint condition for that price.Racist game and horribly unfunny.I’d much rather buy NFL Blitz Special Edition.”
This is another comment by animal psychic Sharon Loy. I mentioned her recently.
https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2021/04/attempting-getsu-fuuma-den-on.html
Yeah. She was that lunatic who mentioned watching Erin’s videos while recovering from her gallbladder removal surgery.
If you DuckDuckGo “Sharon Loy”, you get links to some animal psychic or medium or something. It’s the same person, right? How many Sharon Loy’s must there be?
But yeah, another weird comment by this lunatic. Clayfighter was racist? How? Let me look at the character list.
Oh. Maybe the Houngan character. He’s some witch doctor. You can’t have witch doctor characters? They’re not saying that all black people are witch doctors. But this guy is.
Just like not all white people are fat Viking opera singers. But Helga is.
Anyway, I wonder what a dog would have to say on the matter. Maybe Ms Loy can tell us.
