Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (Sega Genesis) – Cinemassacre

0:00 – Shout out to the VPN sponsor.  Is he going to talk about how you can watch Netflix from other countries?  I’ll say yes.

Woo!  I was right!  It was the very next thing that he said.  There’s a graphic showing that you can watch “content” all the way from Tokyo, Japan.  

What would you even want to watch?   I mean, you can watch any tv show from any country right now anyway.  The stuff is out there.  But is anyone watching it?  Are people seeking out Danish dramas?  Or Brazilian variety shows?  Or wacky Japanese game shows?  I don’t think so.  

The first problem is that it’s not in English.  Would there be English subtitles?  Why would there be?  It’s not being sold to an English-speaking market.  

Even stuff that’s in English…I mean…is anyone seeking out Australian tv shows?  Or even British tv shows if you’re an American?  I don’t think so.  

But anyway, with this VPN, you can do this thing that you’re not even doing now, although you’ve had the opportunity to do this thing for decades.

3:15 – You shoot “shit stones” at Pac-Man.  Or, as anyone with a brain would call these objects, stones.  Maybe it’s fruit or something.

4:00 – Really forced Fred Fuchs reference.  Kieran thinks that the eyes of the ghosts in Pac-Man look like “FF”.  They don’t.  They look like the eyes of a Pac-Man ghost.

4:45 – “It’s a kick in the sack.”

Kieran sure does like references to male genitalia.  Just come out of the closet.

This seems to have gratuitous profanity, including “motherfucker”.  I know that this is his thing but this doesn’t sound natural here.

7:30 – “This dickhole, shit-encrusted, poopy fuck fuck final boss”.

Yeah.  I don’t care what anyone says, this is funny.

Then the video ends with Silent Rob or somebody doing a dumb half-joke.

Oh, it was a ska version of the AVGN that was heard in the beginning.  Apparently.  I was thinking jazz.

Well…that was just pretty boring.  And as Kieran said in the video, the game isn’t even that bad.  

The usual ass-kissing comments in the comment section.  Let’s see what the boys on Reddit have to say.  This video just came out like a 30 minutes ago, at the time of me writing this, but I’ll guess that there are already 40 comments.

There are 46.  I was close.  

A lot of people complaining that there’s just the one camera angle of him sitting on the couch.  I don’t really care about this.  I’m not looking at these videos from an artistic perspective.

Somebody describes that Fred Fuchs reference as “shoe horned” in.  It’s true.

Yeah, people just say that it wasn’t good but they’re not too riled up about it.  That’s about right.  

People on the “official” Cinemassacre sub-reddit didn’t much care for it either.  But they’re mostly the same people who post on the homosexual sub-reddit.

I don’t know.  It wasn’t as bad as people are making out.  It was just boring.  No effort was put into it.  James of course totally phoned it in, as usual, and Kieran did his usual shitty writing job.  But there was nothing objectionable about it.  It was an inoffensive episode.  Maybe that’s as much as we can hope for at this point.
