Recently, Erin has claimed, “I really like the PC Engine”.  And when challenged to name her favourite games for said console, was unable to name a SINGLE GAME other than “Rondo”.  This happened TWICE on separate days, by separate people.  I describe the incidents here:

https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2021/07/super-silly-n64-stream-with-erin-plays_3.html

https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2021/09/playing-castlevania-rondo-of-blood.html

She refers to the TurboGrafx as the “PC Engine”, not because she’s drawing a distinction between games only released in Japan and games released in the US (she doesn’t know ANY of the games), but because she’s an idiot and doesn’t realise that the TurboGrafx IS, for all intents and purposes, the PC Engine.  

So now she’s going to learn all about the TurboGrafx/PC Engine, in case anyone asks her something silly like “What’s your favourite TurboGrafx/PC Engine game?” ever again.  And what better way to do it than by playing these games on stream, for money.  For a few minutes each.  And then never again.  She just needs names.  She just needs to be able to say, “Oh, Bonk’s Adventure, of course” or whatever and then badly dodge any follow up questions.

She’s decided to title this “TurboGrafx variety stream” as opposed to “PC Engine” because I think she finally figured out her mistake after I wrote like six articles about this.  Make no mistake that Erin is an avid Gamer Grrls reader.  She’s offhandedly referenced the blog a few times, as has Mike.

0:00 – She starts by editing something out.  Way to go.  Let’s see what she’s hiding.  Probably just greeting the horntards.

What the fuck?  She greeted ONE horntard and edited this out.  Who gives a fuck?  Why bother?

“So as you probably know, I’ve explained it on Twitter and on Patreon, my carpal tunnel is really bad.  It was really bad for like the past week, or longer.  That last Rondo of Blood stream really did me in.”

Oh.  This shit again.  The constant child-level lies.  

You know, if you’re going to lie, at least be semi-competent at it.  I have the same complaint about Madam Fomo.  Madam Fomo will come up with completely ridiculous lies like “I got a job as a comic book writer” or “I flew to Florida to get candy apples” that NOBODY could possibly believe.  Give the audience some fucking credit.  

0:45 – So she’s going to look through a couple of Mike’s magazines to try to find games to play on stream, for money.  Why?  Just choose your favourite TurboGrafx games to play.  Why do you have to look through old magazines to discover games?  You should know them.  You “really like” the PC Engine.  I think that every game released for the TurboGrafx was also released for the PC Engine.  So what’s the problem?  

Obviously, she doesn’t know any of the games.  And she can’t even bother to Google “best TurboGrafx games”.  She doesn’t do ANYTHING in her spare time related to video games.  Everything has to be on stream, for money.

1:15 – She says that she was talking to Mike recently about Splatterhouse because he’s streaming that game.  She goes on to say, “I really like the Splatterhouse genre.”

I think that Erin “forgot” the word “series”.  Because the Splatterhouse genre is…what?  Side scrolling beat em up?  She meant to say “series”, presumably.  She “always” “forgets” the word “series”.  

By the way, she only played each of the TurboGrafx Splatterhouse games one time, and always on stream, for money.  Although, I think that she played “Wanpaku Graffiti” twice: once for a Youtube video and once for a Twitch stream, for money.

1:30 – Another edit.  She greeted the horntards and promoted her awful Sega Visions video.  

“Mike almost beat Splatterhouse 2?  That one’s the hardest one for me.  I haven’t beat Splatterhouse 2.  I don’t think that I’ve beat any of them.  I think that I got a bad ending with Splatterhouse 3 and I got towards the end of the first Splatterhouse game but Splatterhouse 2 kicked my ass.”

Let’s just remind everyone what Erin is talking about.  She played these games ONE FUCKING TIME.  It was for a series of zero-effort Youtube videos around Halloween.  

To a casual viewer, it would sound like she actually has played these games in her spare time, perhaps as a kid.  No.  That’s not what’s happening here.  ONE TIME.  For a Youtube video.  And she’s trying to pass herself off as an expert.  

2:00 – “Ha!  Look at this!  ‘Boom’” and she shows an advertisement that says “Boom”.  Then she makes a face.  Even she knows that that was a stupid comment.

2:30 – She finds an ad and says that she’s going to play “Ball Sticks”.  It takes her a while to realise that it’s “Ballistix”.  

She’s a big TurboGrafx fan, guys.  She knows all of the games.

3:30 – Another edit.  A horntard asks her if she got, “the TerraOnion Super HD System3 Pro? It lets you play TG16, CD and SuperGrafx games from an SD card on the TG16 or PC Engine.”  Erin has a clueless expression and says, “No.  I just have the EverDrive.  But that sounds really cool.”

Her usual response.  “Did you…” “No.”  And then she finishes with, “That’s cool.”

Then the popular Psygnosis logo appears.  You know…this one:

We’ve all seen it.  I saw it from playing Lemmings back in the day.  

So Erin sees this logo, it’s obviously totally unfamiliar to her, and she says, “Uh oh…Psy—Psycosis.”

Is Mike watching any of this?  Why isn’t she editing THIS sort of shit out?  Because these are the sorts of comments that blatantly expose her as a fraud.  

3:45 – “You never played TurboGrafx?  What’s the controller like?  It’s nice.”

Great commentary, Erin.  Do you want to describe any features of the controller that you appreciate?  Maybe some ergonomic issues, since you claim to have carpal tunnel symdrome?  Maybe you can simply explain to the horntard that the controller has a multi-speed turbo switch for the buttons.  That was kind of the big selling point of the system.  Turbo controllers.  TurboGrafx.  

No.  Just “it’s nice.”  She’s totally clueless so this is the extent of any commentary she can give.

“Well, I’m using a TurboDuo controller but it’s very similar.”

How so?  Compare and contrast.  She doesn’t know.  So it’s just this complete dog shit, generic commentary.

4:15 – She reads from the chat, “‘The Duo controller’s fantastic?’  It’s fun.  I mean it’s good.”

In what way is it fun or good?  Tell us.  What are the features that you like?  What are some features that you wish it had?  How does it compare to the Genesis or the SNES controller?  Can you tell us ANYTHING about this controller?  No.  She’s completely clueless.  She doesn’t play this shit and she doesn’t care.

5:30 – She’s responding to a question from the chat.  I don’t know the question.  “The TurboGrafx uses little HuCards.  If you look it up on Google, you’ll see what I’m talking about.”

Why not just explain?  “HuCards” was just the dumb marketing term.  They’re plastic cards, about the size of a business card, and the circuitry or whatever is exposed on the front, and you put it into the machine.  That’s it.  Wouldn’t that be a better response than “Google it”?  It’s not a hard question.  But Erin doesn’t know the answer.

7:15 – “This is fun!  I don’t really understand what’s going on but I like it.”

She’s REALLY bad at the game.  As always.  And she’ll never play it again.  The game is pretty bad, by the way.

8:00 – The horntards prompt her that the game looks like Crossfire.  It obviously does.  That’s the first thing that anyone would think.  So Erin, having been prompted by the chat, says, “It kind of looks like Crossfire!”

How so, Erin?  Can you explain?  Do you have any interesting stories to tell about Crossfire?  Did you ever see the commercials?  Did you ever see the Board James episode that the love of your life Mike Matei was in?  

No.  She’s never seen any of that.  She has no idea what Crossfire is.  So again, she just gives a generic answer and pretends to know what’s going on.

10:15 – “I don’t know.  I don’t hate this.  I kind of like it.”

She’ll never play it again.

10:45 – She’s reading from the chat.  “You like the Sega CD?  The Sega CD has some good games, yes.  I’m not too knowledgeable about it because I only played it a handful of times but…you know.”

She’s a total fraud.  Which Sega CD games are good?  Tell us.  Give us a fucking list.  Never mind the list.  Just give us ONE FUCKING GAME.  

She’s never played it before.  Or if she did it was briefly, on stream, for money.  As with everything with Erin.  

I’ve never played the Sega CD.  I have absolutely no idea what games there are for that thing.  So you know what my answer would be to that horntard?  “Oh.  I’ve never played it.”  I wouldn’t fucking lie and give a generic response.  That’s idiotic.

11:00 – A dumb question from the horntards:  “Better angry goalie: this dude or Jason Vorhees?”  Erin thinks about it for a second, and she stumbles over the word “Vorhees”, never having seen it before and not knowing who it is.  Then she says, “Hmm…I wish Jason Vorhees was in this game.”

She doesn’t even know who it is.  Why can’t she give a fucking answer to ANYTHING?  Which character do you prefer: the weird guy in this game or Jason Vorhees?  And explain your answer.  Give ONE reason why you prefer one character over the other.  

She can’t do it.  She doesn’t know who Jason Vorhees is and even if she did, she can’t have any sort of a conversation about anything.  

All she has to do is say, “I prefer this guy because he’s cuter.”  That would be an answer.  It would be a stupid answer but it would be an answer.  

But no.  “I wish Jason Vorhees was in this game.”  That’s all she says.  Then she moves on.  

Okay.  What about telling us WHY you want Jason Vorhees in the game.  What would he possibly contribute to the game?  Tell us, Erin.  Give us one fucking answer to ANYTHING to demonstrate that you have some knowledge about something.  About ANYTHING.  Do you know ANYTHING about ANYTHING?  Is there anything at all in your brain?  Have you done ANYTHING with your life at ANY point?  Have you ever watched a television show?  Have you ever watched a movie?  Have you ever played a video game?  TELL US FUCKING SOMETHING?  Have you ever talked to a human being before?

11:30 – Then she gives her age, after a horntard gave his age for whatever bizarre reason.  She says, “I’m 33, I’m almost 34.”

Then explain the fucking Cykill1986 Xbox name.  Maybe my math is wrong.  Let’s say that she was born on December 31 1986, so the latest possible 1986 birthdate.  That would make her…34 years, and 8 months old.

People put their birthdate in their usernames.  It’s a thing that people do.  And that’s clearly what the “1986” in “Cykill1986” represents.  What else could it be?  

Why would she put the wrong date of birth in her username?  And only be off by one year?  

I’m saying that this is another lie.  1986 is Erin’s actual birth date.  She claims to be a year younger than she actually is.  People do it.  It’s no big deal.  But this is yet another lie from Erin.  She’s 34 years old.  Possibly 35.  Not 33.

11:30 – A horntard mentions Mean Bean Machine and Erin says, “Mean Bean Machine, I’ve never given much time to.  I should play it again.  It’s been a very long time.”

She played it one time, on stream, for money, briefly, during a “variety stream”.  If that.  

Then she decides to switch games.  So that was Ball Sticks by Psychosis.  

She’s going to look at this stupid ad in the magazine again to find another game.  Which game is going to be?  Tune in tomorrow.  I can’t watch this shit any more today.

The hits keep coming from Erin.  This was Patreon-exclusive content for a while but now it’s free for the masses.

0:00 – She says “training card” as opposed to “trading card”.  Right?  Let me listen again.  Yeah, I think so.  Why bother doing a second take?

So anyway, she’s showing the binder.  It’s on her Sailor Moon bedsheets or blanket or something.  The binder itself is purple and has a small, rectangular Sailor Moon sticker on the front.  “SAILOR MOON TRADING CARDS” is written on the front in gold glitter pen and the word “cards” in the title is oddly askew.

Erin teases that she also has a binder of “Buffy” cards, presumably the vampire slayer, Little Mermaid. Power Rangers and Pokemon cards.  We can all look forward to those videos.  Or maybe that’s Patreon exclusive content.

She zoomed in on the binder and it says “97 to 98” on it.  So she says that she was 9 or 10 years old.

Wait a minute.  That would mean that her year of birth was 1987.  That’s what I thought.  But then why is her X-Box username is Cykill86?

0:45 – She opens the binder.  “I have a lot of memories attached to these cards.”

Okay.  Let’s hear them.  I want wacky anecdotes.  

She would get them from a vending machine in Toys R Us with her mother.  That’s it.  That’s the extent of her memories.  It wasn’t exactly “a lot” was it?

1:45 – “This one I think is really cute.”

Huh.  A hologram card that says “The Winning Team” and there are some Sailor Moon characters on it.  Umm…okay.

She proceeds to just read the cards.  Every card seems to have a caption on them.  So she’s reading them.  This is entertainment right here. I’m glad that I got rid of my tv.

2:15 – Now she’s reading the back of some random card.

Ha!  She said “Uranus” the PC way.  But she hesitated before she said it.  She was going to say it the un-PC way but then she caught herself.  Wouldn’t that be terrible if Erin said “Uranus” as in “yer anus”?  She would never be able to live it down.

Then she looks at the back of a different card.  “I like how Serena is trademarked.”

Hehe.  Copyright symbols.  They’re so cute.  You got the little “c” with a circle around it.  Adorable.

Oh wait.  That’s copyright.  Erin was talking about trademarks.  That’s the tiny “TM” floating in the air.  Still cute, though.

2:45 – “I just love these trading cards.  I’m so *nostalgic* for these.”

This is top tier content right here, boys.

3:45 – Erin says that she would look at these cards and draw from them.  What about an Erin Draws channel?  Fuck this “plays” shit.  She doesn’t play video games.  But what about a drawing channel?  It might be something that she’s genuinely interested in.  Just Erin drawing “cute” pictures.

Oh, by the way, this video was taken when Erin was visiting her parents.

4:00 – “I always liked that pink/purple background with the white stars”.

Oh great.  Some of that riveting hue discussion.  

5:00 – She confuses the words “set” and “pack”.  She says that she got cards from a “set” but meant that she got them from a “pack”.  Then she corrects herself.  “It’s been so long.  I need to remember.”

She “forgot” the difference between a “set” of cards and a “pack” of cards.  She “always” “forgets” that.

Easy mistake to make.  A set of cards.  A pack of cards.  Who the fuck really knows the difference?  Other than anyone who ever had even a passing familiarity with trading cards.

5:15 – She describes the cards as “shiny”.  Oh, sure.  Those are foil cards.  They were all the rage in “the 90s”.  You remember “the 90s”, right, Erin?  And trading cards?  They came in packs?  You’d try to collect the whole set?  You know what I mean?

“The holographic look was very in…he…in the 90s”

There you go.  I knew that Erin knew what she was talking about.  Erin knows all about “the 90s”.  

6:00 – She was flipping through the pages and said, “Oh wait, wait, wait, wait” and flipped back.  “That one’s cute.”

Oh thank fuck.  How awful if we would have missed that great piece of commentary.

6:15 – She mentions another cute card but I’m unsure which one she was referring to.  This will haunt me the rest of my days.

“I don’t know how to play cards.  I sure as hell didn’t know how to play any card games back then.”

She’s talking about regular card games.  You know…that use a deck of 52 cards…2 through 10, jack, queen, king, ace…like Bicycle playing cards.  Erin doesn’t know how to play card games.  ANY card game.  To this day, she doesn’t know how to play cards.

Go fish?  Never played it before.

Poker?  Never played it before.

Gin rummy?  Never played it before.

You name it and she’s never played it before.  How the fuck is this possible?

6:45 – Erin mentions, for the second or third time, that she thinks that some of these cards are bootleg.  She doesn’t say “bootleg”.  She “forgot” that term.  But she says that they’re “not official”.

The bootleg stuff is probably worth more than the official stuff.  And these playing cards that she has are probably worth something because maybe most kids actually used the playing cards to play card games.  So Erin should look up the prices.  Maybe she can get some money from this shit.  

Let me look this up.  1998 Sailor Moon playing cards.  Naoko Takeuchi, whatever that means.  Looks to be what she has.  Thirteen bucks on Ebay for the full deck of cards.  Oh well.

So that’s the video.  “Let me know if you guys have any trading cards (heavy sigh) that you still have.”

She doesn’t give a fuck about what cards Shishi and the gang have.

I used to buy cards by the box from a mail order company.  The box had, whatever, 36 packs in it.  I got a Spider-Man box (I don’t know what series), a Marvel Masterpieces box (the first one), a Lady Death box, a couple of old DC cards that I don’t remember what they were called but the boxes were cheap so I ended up getting two of them, and I got some kind of art cards from a card/comic book show that I went to.  I won it in some raffle.  They were like Conan the Barbarian type art.  

I probably got some other shit too.  Also, I’d buy miscellaneous packs if I’d see something in the shops.  I got a card signed by Rob Liefeld from a pack.  It’s $400 on Ebay but I don’t think anyone is interested at that price.

I also had the Lady Death mystery chase card.  Is that worth anything?  Mmm…$52 for the full six card set.  I don’t have the full set.  I have about four of the six.  Still…that’s okay, I guess.  

I didn’t even like Lady Death.  I never read any of the comics.  I was just buying jerk off material at that point.  Not that I ever did jerk off to any fucking cards or comic books.  My stuff is all in mint condition, as far as I’m aware.  I haven’t seen it years.  I left it in my family home, like Erin has done.  Maybe it’s all gone.

And there are no duplicates with Erin’s cards.  What did she do with the duplicates?  Trade them away?  I don’t think that she had any friends to be able to do that.

I put the duplicates in the box that they came in.  You know, I bet the boxes are worth something.  Just the empty display boxes.  I’m not seeing anything on Ebay.  That’s a good sign, maybe.  Suggests that it’s rare.  Or that nobody wants empty boxes.

Holy shit.  These 1994 Marvel Masterpieces are going for $100 a set.  I must have three sets.  And this doesn’t even include the fake autographed variant cards that came one per pack.  Fuck.  I’m sitting on a gold mine of nerd shit.  I’ve done WAY better than Erin and her $12 Sailor Moon cards.

Anyway, let’s check out the comments.  I caught this video early so there are only a few.

Somebody mentions the Sailor Moon collectible card game.  Yeah.  That’s another box of cards that I got.  Not fucking Sailor Moon but there was some Marvel collectible card game.  I might even have two boxes.  That was surely a bad move.  I thought that it would be like the next Magic: The Gathering, but no.  Nobody played this shit and I think that the cards were pretty expensive.  Let me look this up…

Holy shit.  Somebody is selling a sealed box for like $1000.  

Marvel Overpower.  I don’t know.  These cards seem to be going for like a buck a piece.  That’s pretty good.  Assuming that these Ebay prices are accurate.  Well, it’s a phenomenal price, if that’s accurate.  How many cards in a pack?  Eight?  No way did I pay eight bucks for a pack.  And eight times 36…$288.  That’s okay.

Anyway, Erin is boring as fuck.

By the way, I attempted to watch the latest AVGN.  As here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KC_h3VkXbI

I had to turn it off at about the halfway point.  I’m just done with it.  The bad acting, the bad writing.  AVGN has officially become unwatchable.

It doesn’t help that James talked about wanting a buffalo to literally take a shit on his face.  I mean…I strongly suspected that he had a poo fetish but this is just outright confirmation of it.  And way more disgusting than I even imagined.  How can anyone look at him the same way after that?

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1UhDNWIz9o

Six and a half minutes.  This must be the REALLY short story of Sega Visions.  Let me first familiarise myself with the Wikipedia article.  

Yeah, it’s only three paragraphs.  That’s why Erin could only get six and a half minutes out of this.  Let’s see how much of this she actually references.

0:30 – She mentions the Team Sega Newsletter.  That’s in the Wikipedia article.

1:15 – She gives the 1990 launch date of Sega Visions.  It’s in the Wikipedia article, of course.  

Erin says, “Sega Visions was Sega’s answer to Nintendo Power.”

Wikipedia says, “Sega Visions was…an answer to the popular game magazine Nintendo Power”

Come on.  Talking about when the first issue was released and the existence of the Team Sega Newsletter, these are things that I expect to be included in such a video, Wikipedia or not.  But this is direct phrasing from Wikipedia that she’s stealing. 

1:30 – 

Erin says, “It was sent out for free to owners of the Master System or Genesis.”

Wikipedia says, “It was sent free to registered Master System and Genesis owners.”

She stole the phrasing again.  All she did was switch the order of some words.

1:45 – 

Erin says, “The magazine didn’t really have a set release schedule, sometimes it was bi-monthly and sometimes it was quarterly””

Wikipedia says, “The magazine had a rather sporadic release schedule, some issues being two months apart, others four months.”

This is shameful.  She’s just going through the fucking Wikipedia article.

2:15 – “There’s a price tag on each issue, at least on the issues I have.”

These are clearly Mike’s.  Why is she pretending that these are hers?

Then she just starts going through the magazine and points out that there were ads for Sega games and obvious shit like this.  This is filler.  Bad filler.

3:15 – “I don’t own all the issues.”

SHE DOESN’T OWN ANY OF THEM!  What is this shit?  These belong to Mike.  Why would she suddenly buy her own personal Sega Visions collection?  Mike already has this shit.  Why would she need it?  I don’t even know why Mike has this shit.  But Erin isn’t even interested in games.  What possible reason would she have to buy musty old 30 year old magazines?  Magazines that are a duplication of magazines that Mike already owns.

3:30 – 

Erin says, “Sega Visions had their own comic character called Niles Nemo.”

Wikipedia says, “The magazine also had its own comic character in Niles Nemo”

Exact same phrasing again.  And she used the exact same awkward term “comic character” .  Who the fuck would say “comic character”?  She clearly stole this from Wikipedia.

5:00 – Erin starts talking about fonts and colours.  She’s in her element here.  And totally ran out of stuff to say.  The Wikipedia article is over, by the way.  So she’s struggling.

5:30 – 

Erin says, “Sega Visions had 25 issues and ran from 1990 to 1995.  In September 1995, the last issue was published.””

Wikipedia says, “Sega Visions ended its run after 25 issues with its September 1995 issue being the last published”

Now she’s going back in the article.  Wikipedia placed this bit of information in a more logical spot.  Again, same exact phrasing.

6:00 – She begs people to leave comments.

This was complete dog shit.  She literally stole this from Wikipedia.  The only non-Wikipedia stuff was her going through an actual issue and saying shit like, “They had ads, reviews, letters”.  She just went through and talked about the different sections of the magazine.  She basically read the table of contents.  

Top comment is from Joe from Gamesack.

– “Was Nintendo Power sold in stores? I never saw it on any magazine rack in the Denver metro area. Sega Visions was trash. It felt the the magazine called Video Games & Computer Entertainment, but even more watered down. That’s because the publishers were big in the pre-crash era writing fluff pieces for games back then. It just didn’t translate into the new era of gaming. The Sega Challenge newsletter was better. At least I got my After Burner poster and Power Strike from that.”

Joe…she doesn’t know, as you’re fully aware, and SHE’S NOT GOING TO GO OUT WITH YOU!  Give it up, you fucking loser.  There are other women out there.  LOCAL women.  Women with JOBS.  Give some of them a chance.

So a couple of horntards say that it was sold in stores and then Erin, having been prompted that it was sold in stores, says, “I was reading it during the N64 era, but yeah it was sold in stores up until the last issues! I’d see it at Borders. And yeah, the Sega challenge DID look pretty sweet. That’s cool you got some sick posters”

Yeah.  Erin would see it at Borders.  Note that she didn’t say that would purchase it.  But she would see it.  I don’t even believe that.

– “By the powers of wi fi and the stellar communications of the fundamental energies that cause all movements in the cosmos i try to summon the devil to purge our world of evil and banish evil in satan’s realm. By the power of the number of erins subscribers satan banish all evil into your realm and allow us that live by the standard of righteousness to be upstanding citizens of society.”

This guy thinks that he’s going to get a date out of this.  Explain to me how that’s going to work.

– “We have the gaming historian for this kinda stuff”

Or, more accurately, Wikipedia.

– “Sega Visions ended its run after 25 issues with its September 1995 issue being the last published.”

This guy literally copied and pasted from Wikipedia.  I don’t know why.

– “Nobody brings the retro obscurity to life like you, Erin!”

She read from Wikipedia, you fucking cretin.

– “who the fuck is disliking this video”

Oh, thanks for reminding me.  I’ll have to leave my usual thumbs down.

– “it’s disappointing they didn’t put more effort into the magazine.”

The irony.  It’s disappointing that Erin doesn’t put more effort into her videos.

Mike leaves a dumb comment.  Not even worth copying and pasting.  It’s basically spam.

– “U are beautiful erin”

Way to go, Jimmy Dean.  Erin will be sucking on your sausage in no time.

I think that she did this lazy as fuck video because she’s claiming that she has carpal tunnel syndrome again.  So she can’t play games.  Or edit videos, according to her, but she seems to have managed it here.

Here’s the tweet.  I mentioned this in a recent post, I think in the comments section because it happened shortly after I posted it.

https://twitter.com/ErinPlays_Games/status/1434912709246607363

“Update: Hoping to be back on stream soon! My carpal tunnel is the worst it’s ever been so editing/playing games is very hard. Trying not to panic since my content is at a stand still, lol but new video is on the way. Seeing a specialist soon so I’m hoping for an end to this shit.”

ShiShi is the first to reply.  He’s in panic mode.  Relax, ShiShi.  It’s all made up bullshit.  She’s not going anywhere.  Erin getting a job?  Don’t be ridiculous.

Justin Silverman leaves a weird reply.  I won’t embarrass him by copying and pasting it.  But she’s not going to go out with you.  Focus your energies on something more productive.

Yeah, here’s the quote I was looking for:

Horntard: How long have you had carpal tunnel?

Erin: About 8 years or longer.

Horntard: I didn’t know you could get carpal tunnel that young :O

It is extraordinarily unusual, isn’t it?  

Let’s see…Erin aka Cykill1986 must be about 35 years old.  Can that be right?  That’s a full two years more than I thought.  Possibly, if she was born some time in the last three months of the year, she’s 34.  But no, I’m going with 35.

Subtract 8 years…27.

How old was Erin when she started the channel?  I thought 29 but with this new birthdate, I’m no longer sure what’s accurate.  She started the channel on 1 January 2017 so…she was 31.  

How did she get carpal tunnel syndrome at 27?  She didn’t start playing games until she was 31, when she started the channel.  What was she doing at 27 that would have caused this?  

She complains that her carpal tunnel makes it difficult to play games and edit videos.  She wasn’t doing any of that when she was 27.  She was working in a fucking record store.  Then she would go home (her parents’ home) and stare at a wall the rest of the day.

Where’s the repetitive movement?  It’s bullshit.  This is all complete bullshit.

Hungry Goriya says, “Chronic pain is so horrible. I hope you can find some answers soon.”

Maybe Horny Goriya is getting repetitive stress injury from excessive masturbation to Erin.

Some random facts I’ve found:

“Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects people who use their wrists and hands repeatedly at work and at play. Anyone can get carpel tunnel syndrome, but it is unusual before age 20. The chance of getting carpal tunnel syndrome increases with age”

“Although carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in older people, young people can develop it, especially if they’re pregnant”

Erin has been afflicted with this problem for EIGHT YEARS, according to her.  AT LEAST eight years.  Never bothered to go to the doctor.  

And what was she possibly doing to cause this?  She didn’t play video games.  She wasn’t editing videos.  She wasn’t working with computers.  What was it?  

It’s completely invented.  More horrifically transparent lies from Erin.

I think that I talked about a video that this guy did before.  Probably about Destiny Fomo.  He’s funny in small doses.  I think that he has some problems, though.

Oh yeah.  Here’s the article where I mention him:

https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2020/04/some-guys-review-destiny-fomo-videos.html

Anyway, he starts with some compilation video of Mike screaming during Erin’s streams.  This has been posted on Reddit before.  

0:45 – Here’s where the video actually starts.  He just makes a lot of comments about how Erin is caucasian.  The guy who makes the video is black.  He uses a lot of racist shit in his videos.  Liberal use of “nigger”, for example.  It’s off-putting but this is the way that many black Americans speak.  Who am I to impose my cultural values on anyone?

So back to the video.  This gentleman makes numerous racist comments about Erin.  She’s very pale, et cetera.  Okay, that doesn’t really get us anywhere.  Who cares?  People have different skin tones.  Let’s move on.

1:15 – He suggests that Mike isn’t satisfying Erin sexually, “That’s why you’re talking to random men on the internet.”  I found this amusing.  It’s obviously generic, low-brow humour along the lines of “yo mama so fat” but I still found it funny.

This guy is watching Erin’s recent Doom Eternal stream, by the way.

1:30 – Then he looks at Erin’s X-Box live account.  It’s on screen.

Her account name is “cykill1986”.  What a bizarre name.  Why would she choose that name?  

First of all, I thought that she was born in 1987.  That’s just what somebody said in a comment on the blog.  I don’t know where he got it from.  

But Cykill1986.  An interesting name for Erin to choose.  It’s not very cute, is it?  And it couldn’t be Mike’s account.  He was born in about 1980.

Wasn’t Cykill a GoBot?  Yeah.  Cy-kill.  

Erin has never mentioned the GoBots even once.  The cartoon was cancelled before she was born.  Although, it’s not unusual for Erin to claim to be a fan of shows that were cancelled before she was born.

She has 10 followers and 3 friends.  

Now, I’ve been using Steam since it came out.  Over ten years.  But I don’t talk to anyone.  I’m not there to make friends with the people on Steam.

Nevertheless, I’ve amassed about 20 “friends”.  That’s for somebody who has no interest in talking to people on Steam or playing games with them or whatever.

Erin is a public figure.  She’s a professional “gamer”.  Why would she only have three “friends”?  And presumably, one of these “friends” is Mike so she only has two others.  

Even if she doesn’t want to add the horntards, which would be understandable, wouldn’t she just pick up random friends through the course of playing games?  She doesn’t play games.  That’s the problem.  She doesn’t play X-Box or whatever the fuck this is or any other console, modern or retro.

“How can you call yourself Erin Plays when you don’t play shit?”

I found this amusing as well.

2:00 – So then he goes to her profile where you can see what games the person has.  She has it locked down.  You can’t see what games she has.

Why not?  Why the secrecy?  We just want to see what games you’re playing, Erin.  What’s the big deal?  We want to see the games, we want to see how long you’ve  played the games, whatever.  It’s normal.  No big deal.

She locked her account down because she doesn’t want people to see that she doesn’t play any games.

Then he shows what “achievements” she’s unlocked in the past year.  I guess that her account is a year old?  And she had…I don’t know…twenty?  It’s hard to see what anything is because he’s just recording his screen.  

Comments:

– “It’s funny to see this video because I often think Erin is probably the the most hardcore gamer out there. Seriously – and definitely out of the gaming personalities I have time for. For example she legit finished Castlevania 64 and 100%’d Yoshi’s Island (SNES) – two extraordinary feats only doable by the most maniacal and driven. If it’s fake fraudsters you want to expose she’s the wrong target and this is a rare misfire from you.”

This guy is completely clueless.  

So Gamestuh replies, “I don’t expect these people to be good only just to play games. They play and talk about games for a video than go back to not playing.”

If you read this a couple of times, you might figure out what he’s saying, and he’s right.

This video is part of a series.  He also did one on John Riggs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlT9xLOZfHQ

Similar thing, he looks at his X-Box account and John Riggs does have a surprisingly large number of games that have zero play time.  Why would he have a game and not play it?  Is he getting these for free?  

But I don’t agree with this guy’s assessment that John Riggs doesn’t play games.  Of course he does.

At 7:00, he mentions Erin.  Doesn’t really say anything worthwhile.  He doesn’t seem to know much about her.  Fortunately, there’s the Gamer Grrls blog here to educate people on Erin, for people who are so inclined.

The horntards suggested getting some kind of carpal tunnel gloves so she says that she got them and they help.  Then she posts a picture.  Is that her gnarled hand?  Maybe she does have something wrong with her hands.  Looks like she’s been soaking her thumb in battery acid every night.

It’s all complete bullshit.  This is part of her mental illness.  She lies about health problems to get attention.  

So anyway, she said:

“I want to say thank you to the person in my chat last night who recommended copper compression gloves. Found some that fit and they actually are helping a lot! When my carpal tunnel effects my work, I start panicking so I really appreciate it! Still gonna take it easy today tho.”

It’s “affects”, by the way.  “Effect” is a noun, “affect” is a verb.  Erin says that she has a degree in English.  Not that one needs a degree in English to know this.  A high school education should be more than sufficient.

But yeah, I found it amusing that she said that she’s going to take it easy today.  She’s usually such a go-getter.  She probably “works” like four hours a week.  Even Jimmy Rolfe is jealous of that work schedule.

And Mike has said that Erin’s favourite activity is taking naps.  I have no doubt that this is what she does all day, from a combination of being lazy, having absolutely no hobbies or interests, and being deeply depressed.

It’s also funny how she talks about her “work”.  Pretending to enjoy playing video games for a handful of horny retards is her “work”.  She gets $250/month for this “job”.

Somebody called her a “nostalgia farmer” back when I was doing this on Reddit.  I always thought that that was hilarious.

How come it’s always the same handful of shows these these *nostalgia* Youtubers always talk about.  Yes, we all know about Punky Brewster and The Facts of Life and Diff’rent Strokes.  What about the deep cuts?  

TV shows from the 1980s…well, what about Newhart?  It’s hardly a deep cut.  It was on for eight years.  But nobody talks about it.  Why?  Because it was a show for adults.  You’ll find that the shows that become popular *nostalgia* shows tend to be children’s shows.  Because by the time something becomes old enough to become *nostalgic* (20 years) the adults who were watching these old shows are no longer in an ideal marketing demographic.

Same with all of the dramas.  St Elsewhere, Moonlighting, Magnum PI.  Who’s watching any of this shit today?  Or even talking about it?  

But those are all well-known shows.  The real obscure stuff lasted for a season or two.  And there’s loads of this shit.  I don’t remember any of it but this would be the prime area that I would delve into if I was one of these nostalgia farmers.  Find shows that nobody remembers.  Footage of these shows is probably hard to find.  

Not even all of the nerdy science fiction stuff is online.  Where’s the complete series of Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future?  I can’t find a single episode.  Science fiction is always the easiest stuff to find on the internet because this is what the nerds are into.

Science fiction…I used to like The Outer Limits.  Not the one from the 1960s, I never saw that, but the one from “the 90s”.  Nobody is talking about The Outer Limits.  I don’t know.  Maybe they are.  But not in my social circles.

Alienation is another one that I enjoyed.  Nobody talks about that.  

Eerie, Indiana.  That was huge for a brief period when I was a kid.  Zero *nostalgia* for that show today.

Amazing Stories is another one.  I can’t believe that it’s as old as 1985.  Because I vividly remember the episode where that guy becomes magnetic and all of the forks and whatnot in the school cafeteria come flying at him and stick to him.  I don’t remember anything about these other science fiction shows that I’ve mentioned.  I watched them but I couldn’t tell you about a single episode.  

And what was that show that had the WWII bomber where the wheels couldn’t be engaged for landing and that guy drew the wheels and then like cartoon wheels appeared on the plane and they were able to land?

Holy shit.  That was Amazing Stories too.  Steven Spielberg worked on that show.  That was big news at the time.  I see a bright future for that young man.

And I watched Star Trek and all of that nerd shit too.  I was pretty much done with it by the age of 15, though.  Like a normal person.

Oh, and Sliders.  The first season or two were good.  But it’s like the final season of The Smurfs.  You know that they’re never going to get to the right dimension because that would mean the end of the show.  So it loses the drama.

Prison Break was a good example of this.  The first season, they’re trying to get out of the prison.  Then they actually make it out at the end of the season.  So the next season, they’re on the run.  But then…they get caught again and end up in some Columbian prison or something.  I don’t remember.  But what I do remember is thinking, “Okay, this is bullshit.  I’m done with this shit” and I never watched another episode.  It’s just the same shit over and over again and they’re locked into it because that’s the name of the show.  You can’t have a show called Prison Break where everybody has escaped and now they’re working at Jiffy Lube.

But yeah, the last season of The Smurfs.  They totally ran out of ideas.  But it’s crazy that apparently the smurfs are still lost in some alternate dimension or different time period or whatever it was.  Looking for those fucking crystals.  Well, it’s an adventure, I guess.  It’s been like 30 years.  They’ve probably gotten used to it by now.  They might even enjoy it.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 was another nerdy science fiction show that I enjoyed.  I was hugely into it.  It still holds up but the less said about the recent Netflix reboot, the better.  Apparently, they’re doing yet another reboot now.  Good luck with it.

Oh, and probably my favourite sitcom of all time is totally forgotten today: Get A Life.  Chris Elliot is always funny but he didn’t have much of a career.  Wasn’t he in Everybody Loves Raymond?  Yeah.  Such a piece of shit, cookie-cutter show.  This is what the masses want to watch.

But yeah, carpal tunnel.  When Erin provides proof from a doctor that she has this affliction, I’ll believe it.  Go get it checked out.  What’s the big deal?  Why suffer?  Why do these half-assed home remedies?  There’s a surgery for this.  

I used to work with a woman, doing a typing-intensive job, and she started asking shit like, “Can you get carpal tunnel from this?  I’m really worried about carpal tunnel.”

Then one day, she came in wearing a wrist brace.  She got carpal tunnel, I guess.  From working at this job for like six weeks.  She didn’t last much longer.

It’s just attention seeking.  If you think that you have a problem, go see a doctor.  Otherwise, shut the fuck up and do your job.

I wrote the above fucking…two weeks ago or something but since then, Erin has tweeted another gem.

https://twitter.com/ErinPlays_Games/status/1433064475943374852

Some horntard says, “When nothing looks good on Twitch late at night, I watch old @ErinPlays_Games videos from 2017.”

Erin replies with, “Ah, the good ol’ days when I was full of wonder and hope”

Some other horntard says, “Old age getting you down, Erin?”

Erin replies, “Ha no, more like just the uphill battle that is YouTube. I still love making videos, it’s just soul crushing at times :D”

Erin…your videos are complete dogshit.  That’s why you’re not doing well.  You only got as far as you have because Mike was constantly promoting you on the Cinemassacre channel.  

She actually thinks that she makes good videos.  How is it possible?  

By the way, the Gamer Grrls blog is at an all time high, in terms of hits.
