Last Action Hero is Insane! – Talking About Tapes – Tony from Hack the Movies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_Om9VazVQY
Oh, Crystal Quin. Delightful. I’m going to refrain from making any equine-related insults today. Because that’s not what it’s about. If she had a nice personality, nobody would mention any resemblance to farm animals. But she doesn’t. She’s has a horrid personality. And she contributes absolutely nothing to the show other than, “This actress is really hot and I’d like to have sex with her.”
0:15 – Tony explains that this is a “Rental Renew” wherein he discusses movies from Rental Reviews in episodes that he wasn’t in.
0:45 –
Tony: Justin Silverman didn’t want me in too many episodes back to back. He thought that people would tune out.
Crystal: What do you guys think?
Tony: I don’t know. How’s Justin’s podcast doing?
This is obviously unfair. The problem with the podcast was 100% James Rolfe. Tony must know this. Jimmy is completely incapable of having a conversation that doesn’t involve excrement and he sleepwalked through every episode except the one he did with the members of Rex Viper. He couldn’t even pretend to be interested in this shit.
Jimmy was also the reason why Rental Reviews was so bad. And The OverAnalyzers.
1:30 – Tony is talking about a poll that he had on Patreon asking what movie he should review. He’s surprised that Predator didn’t win but then theorises that maybe because he already did a commentary track on Predator, people are satisfied with that.
How many people possibly listened to that commentary track?
The delusions continue when he says, “I guess they really wanted to know what I have to say about Last Action Hero.”
I thought that he was joking at first, but he says this a couple of times. This isn’t a joke.
What insights is he going to have? All he does is go through the movie scene by scene.
Tony keeps hyping this movie. It’s a piece of shit. That’s the consensus. But because he watched this as a kid, he thinks that it’s amazing. Let me see what actual movie reviewers Siskel & Ebert had to say.
Two and a half stars from both critics in their print reviews. Two thumbs down in the television review.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFXs_H-H8
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFXs_H-H8]7:00 – Tony mentions Paul Heyman being in some movie and Crystal starts screaming, “I LOVE PAUL HEYMAN!”
Yeah. She’s a big wrestling fan, guys. She’s sitting there watching this shit that’s for 12 year old boys.
Then Tony and Crystal start talking about recent WWE events. It’s embarrassing. .
Newt did a recent video where he showed some of his comic collection. He apparently sold almost all of his comics and almost all of his movie poster collection to fund this IDIOTIC movie idea of his about Shark Vampire or whatever. What a fucking disaster that is. Horrible decisions.
Anyway, it gets me thinking, why am I watching this shit? I’m not interested in any of this. These people are GIANT nerds. And the people watching it are giant nerds.
I liked comic books and wrestling as a kid. But I stopped all of that shit by the time I was 18 or so. Not because I just woke up one day and decided that this shit is for kids or nerds or whatever and I didn’t want to be a part of that. I just naturally stopped being interested in that stuff. You develop other interests as you get older. Women, for example. Jobs. Whatever. Or at least you should develop other interests. A healthy person does.
Fucking anime is another one. Star Trek. Science fiction generally. Again, I liked these things as a kid (not so much anime, it wasn’t big when I was a kid) but I’m an adult. I don’t give a fuck about the Borg any more. And any adult who does must have something wrong with them.
Video games are the only nerd activity that I still partake in but even then it’s not like when I was a kid. I haven’t bought a console since I was in college. There have only been about five games that I’ve played in the past 20 years. I find a game that I like and I stick with it. Other games come and go but generally that’s what I do. And I’m not seeking out new games. I’m not reading the “gaming” news. None of this nerd shit.
10:15 – The background portion of the “review” is over and now they’re getting into the scene by scene breakdown.
11:30 – Crystal Quin is getting “horny vibes going.” Oh. We all give a shit about that. We all want to know which actors and actresses you want to have sex with.
Here’s an idea: just give a list at the start of the video of which actors and actresses you want to have sex with in the movie so that we can get that out of the way and then you can shut the fuck up while Tony just goes through the movie scene by scene for the next two hours.
15:00 – Tony shows some toy that he has. Add this to the list of things that well-adjusted adults aren’t interested in.
You see this shit and it normalises the behaviour. But you have to bear in mind that something like retro gaming Youtube channels attract a certain type of person, namely, giant nerds. So what seems like normal isn’t normal. It’s only normal in this niche community of giant nerds. The general adult population is not interested in toys, anime, wrestling, or even video games.
19:45 – There’s an ad for a testicle shaving device. Well, this is as good a time as any to stop this snoozefest.
I skipped to the end.
1:35:45 – Tony is again talking about how Justin thought that people didn’t want to watch Tony in too many Rental Reviews episodes. So Tony says something like, “Nobody would watch a show where I review movies once or twice a week”, referencing Talking About Tapes aka Hack the Movies.
Crystal then says, “I don’t think it’s just — okay, Tony. You can just have the show by yourself. Let’s see how that does.”
Crystal is actually suggesting that she’s part of the reason why people are watching. She’s right in the horntard sense but I think in her mind she thinks that people are tuning in for her commentary. You know…”That actress is really hot and I’d like to have sex with her.”
She’s delusional. Everyone at Screenwave is delusional. James Rolfe is delusional. Mike Matei is delusional. Erin is delusional. Do any of these people want to put their Star Trek toys away for two seconds and join us in reality? Your shows are all dogshit. You’re dogshit. You have no talent. Do something else with your time.
1:36:00 –
Tony: There have only been two episodes where I wasn’t on the review panel.
Crystal: One did phenomenal.
Tony: One got great views and no retention because they were like —
Crystal; Boobs!
Tony: They were like, “Women are talking?”
Crystal: Boobs!
Bizarre contribution by Crystal. This is a reference to the Ghostbusters review. I would think that that would have got the highest views. It had Crystal Quin, Johanna, Mint Salad, and some large black woman who’s on OnlyFans.
Maybe this is what Tony is saying. It got good views but people stopped watching. It’s like with porn. Once you blow your load, you turn that shit off. You don’t continue watching to see how the plot unfolds.
I don’t remember that episode being that bad, actually. I gave it a marginally positive review. Let me check the archives.
https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2021/11/ghostbusters-2016-is-worst-hack-movies.html
Oh yeah. I did give it a passably good review but then in the comments I rescinded my good review, having watched more of the episode. Presumably, nobody had anything of substance to say, which would be par the course for these ladies.
1:37:30 – Tony is talking about the fact that he wasn’t in some episode of Rental Reviews where they discuss Scott Pilgrim Versus the World. He says that he knew more about the film and the books (or comic books) than anyone else who appeared. So he says, “Fans have been pissed that I’ve been left out of that episode ever since.”
More delusions. He doesn’t have fans and nobody gives a shit. Nobody even knows about this.
I used to think that he was joking with these sort of comments but he’s not. He’s just completely delusional.

Erin is Getting Cortizone Shots in her Wrists (Allegedly)
https://twitter.com/ErinPlays_Games/status/1489374813432991749
I’m currently in my own personal hell dealing with some of the worst carpal tunnel issues I’ve ever had, so that’s why content is light lately and I haven’t been replying to things much or even looking at twitter. Trying to edit here and there when able – a new video IS coming.
It’s being treated by a good Dr so that’s comforting. Just a slow process. And I love how it was carpal tunnel all along and I wasn’t crazy. Always seek second opinions if a doctor visit doesn’t feel right/you feel dismissed. You know your body better than anyone!
Forget second opinions. This is like the tenth opinion according to Erin. She’s apparently seen multiple doctors who have all told her that it’s nothing. Stop wasting their time. This is entirely imaginary. This is being done for attention.
But she finally found a quack doctor who’s willing to go along with this nonsense. Apparently. As long as he’s getting paid, he’ll go along with it.
The horntards all go along with it too. They give her advice for carpal tunnel syndrome. They all seem to have carpal tunnel syndrome. And it’s all from playing video games. They’re all wearing wrist braces and getting cortizone injections.
Here’s another gem from Erin:
Got a cortisone injection in my left wrist as a test and my grip strength went WAY up. So now my left wrist got one and we wait.
She offers this as proof that she actually has carpal tunnel syndrome. I’m thinking that anybody would benefit from that, though. Isn’t it a steroid? I don’t think that this is proof that she has anything.
Here’s a particularly delusional horntard:
– “you must of felt it while you were tweeting this.”
Yeah. No. You’re an idiot.
There are more replies under this one:
https://twitter.com/ErinPlays_Games/status/1489374813432991749
– “You’ll get through this yo! Keep taking care of yourself first and foremost and don’t push yourself to be constantly working or streaming! Let me know if you need anything!”
That was from Marcus. He might be the creepiest horntard of them all. Here’s his Twitter:
https://twitter.com/Saberwolf10
He seems absolutely obsessed with some hot Asian woman who he’s apparently been sending money to for many years. He also met her at a few conventions or something.
And look at that guy. She’s not fucking interested. Are you completely out of your mind? But she’s taking advantage of him hard. It’s digusting.
Oh, Joe from Gamesack left a message.
– “You can always use your nose to scroll through Twitter and type.”
Hehe. Women sure like funny guys, don’t they Joe? Let me know how this works out for you.
– “cannot stress the importance of second opinions enough”
Erin replies, “YUP! And it’s especially fun if you’re anything like me and full of constant self-doubt, lol. I’m getting better with doctor stuff as I get older though. Thank god.”
As a reminder, Erin has claimed to have carpal tunnel syndrome from when she was in her early to mid 20s. This was before she was even playing video games. How did it possibly develop?
The most common reason she gives for developing carpal tunnel syndrome is using her phone too much. She got carpal tunnel syndrome from…what? Swiping motions on her phone? How often is she doing that? It’s ridiculous. Nobody has ever developed carpal tunnel syndrome from using their phone. But this is her explanation.
She doesn’t even claim that it’s from video games or editing videos. Her explanation is that it’s from using her phone too much. It’s completely fucking ridiculous.
Just get a non-smart phone, Erin. Problem solved. The swiping motion is obviously too much for you.
– “i was thinking about you today and this! i’m sorry friend :(“
That was from somebody named Amanda. Here’s her Twitter:
https://twitter.com/coffeemug__
It’s a SUPER stupid woman from Los Angeles. She says that she tweets about music but all I see are brainless re-tweets about food and clothes and hot dudes and whatever. She looks to be about the same age as Erin. Same intellect. Same interest in music. Same hometown.
I’m thinking that this might be a friend of Erin’s from when she lived in Los Angeles. I also think that she might be a stripper. Maybe a prostitute.
– “All the best Erin my wife as dealt with carpal tunnel in the past and still as pain off and on hope u feel better”
His wife got carpal tunnel syndrome from jerking off other men.
Anyway, that’s Erin’s bullshit carpal tunnel update. Why did she never release the results of that nerve test that she had done? Surely, that would be the proof needed to show whether or not she has carpal tunnel syndrome.

Casserole! (Full Breakdown) – Erin Plays
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6thDPgD9X2o&t=1648s
In a recent Erin Plays video, Erin and Mike Matei were playing a little game of Plinko with the chat. In order to play the game, a member of the chat had to be the first person to type a word of Erin or Mike’s choosing. Mike was going to pick a word but Erin interrupted and said that she wanted to pick the word. Mike agreed. Erin then said, “Casserole”.
This begins at about 27:28 in the above video. The link is time-stamped to the approximate start point.
I describe this series of events here:
https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2022/02/erin-plays-and-mike-matei-have-nes_0506870596.html
I’ve been analysing this “casserole” incident, trying to make sense of it. I’ve been studying that portion of the video frame by frame like it’s the Zapruder film or the Patterson–Gimlin film.
It starts at 27:28 with Mike pausing to think of a word for the chat to write in this little Plinko contest that they’re doing. This causes Erin to likewise think of a word. As we can see above, Erin is in deep concentration.
In the next image, a second or less later, Erin has thought of a word, thinks that it’s funny, but is still processing whether or not she should share this word. For the sake of clarity, let me state that the word is “casserole”. Mike notices Erin smiling and turns to see what’s so funny.
A second or less later, Erin has decided that “casserole” is indeed funny and worth sharing.
She looks at Mike, eager to share this funny word that she thought of so that he can share in the laughter. She says, “I thought of a word that I would pick.”
She looks away to have a moment of reflection. “Is this ‘casserole’ thing truly funny enough to share with Mike and all of Youtube? It’s not too late to back down.”
Mike also looks away to have a split second assessment of the situation. He knows that Erin isn’t funny. How is he going to save her from embarrassment? Is there anything that he can do? Who knows? Maybe what she’s thinking really is funny.
Mike asks, “Do you want to pick the word?” as Erin chuckles to herself, somewhat confident that “casserole” is funny. She finds it funny, after all. Why wouldn’t everybody else?
Erin says, “Can I?”, still not 100% certain on whether or not “casserole” is funny. She’s looking to Mike for reassurance. Mike doesn’t know what the word is, though, so he can’t know whether or not it’s funny. Mike, with noticeable trepidation, says, “Yeah. You pick the word.”
Erin reassess again. “Is ‘casserole’ really as funny as I think it is? Maybe I shouldn’t say it.” Mike looks at Erin, knowing that whatever she’s thinking isn’t going to be funny, but hoping for the best.
This is it. This is the moment. Erin looks to the camera, addresses the horntards, this is what we’ve all been waiting for. She’s smiling. This is going to be funny. She just knows it. She’s beaming with confidence.
“Casserole!” Then for a split second she thinks. “Wait…did that land? Was that as funny as I thought it was?”
She has serious second thoughts about this. She looks at Mike for reassurance. She’s thinking, “That was funny, right?” Mike gives no indication that “casserole” was at all funny. He just returns a blank stare. He’s trying to process what just happened.
This one is subtle but if you watch the video frame by frame (by pressing the “,” and “.” keys) you’ll see it more clearly. Erin leans in towards Mike ever so slightly because she’s concerned that she didn’t get the reaction that she expected. She’s subconsciously urging Mike to laugh at her “casserole” “joke” to validate her intellect and her sense of humour. But Mike isn’t going for it. He’s still trying to figure out what just happened. “Why did she say “casserole”? Is this a reference to something in our private life? What is this? Am I not remembering something? What makes this funny?”
Mike shifts his gaze away from Erin as he comes to the realisation that nothing was funny about this. But now what is he going to do? How is he going to salvage this?
Mike is now looking at the chat. Erin is still hopeful, against all evidence to the contrary, that Mike finds her “joke” funny. Mike has resolved to simply repeat to the chat what Erin has said.
“Casserole”. But he doesn’t say it in the excited way that Erin did. He says it in a confused fashion. He’s still not quite sure what any of this means or why it’s funny but he’s trying to roll with it because this is his sugarbaby and he doesn’t want her to feel bad. But on the other hand, he still has no idea why she said this or what makes it funny. Erin continues to look at him for some kind of reassurance.
Erin looks to the chat for some kind of reassurance. Obviously, the people in the chat can’t give any kind of reassuring look but this is all happening in a matter of seconds. It’s done on a subconscious level.
Mike furls his brow, still trying to put all of the pieces together. But this is a riddle with no answer. She’s just an idiot. There’s NOTHING funny about “casserole”. You can sit there for the next two hours trying to figure this one out. It’s nothing. There is no joke. The only person on earth who finds this funny is Erin. Why does Erin find it funny? Because she’s mentally ill.
Mike rolls his eyes and sticks his tongue out. Erin shifts away from Mike and closes her eyes. She’s made a complete fool of herself again. Why did she say “casserole”? She should have just let Mike give his word. What’s wrong with her? She should just go back to California and work in a record store.
It ends with Mike finally reassuring her by sharing a laugh. But not at her “joke” because her “joke” was complete shit. There was nothing funny about it. But he’s indicating to her that it’s okay, we all tell jokes that don’t land, I’ll still fuck you in the ass tonight in exchange for Youtube promotion. Erin laughs nervously, knowing that she failed again, but happy that Mike accepts her in spite of her being an unfunny, untalented, uncharismatic, complete fraud.

Psycho (1960) is Iconic! – Talking About Tapes – Tony from Hack the Movies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQIyORMuPCA
I checked out Tony’s channel and I saw that he had two new videos up. One was with Trisha and there was also some dumb skit with Mint Salad and her creepy boyfriend, and the other video was with Crystal Quin. Which am I going to choose?
Horseface wins every time. But I don’t want to give the wrong impression. I don’t want to encourage Horseface to appear in these videos. I review videos that feature her because she’s god awful and a source of comedy. And she’s so detestable that I can go full bore, call her “Horseface McGee” and whatever else, and not feel bad about it. There’s no need to hold back when talking about the monstrously unlikeable Crystal Quin.
0:15 – It starts with an ad. Tony is doing an ad for a product that…does something in relation to streaming video. And the audio is complete fucking dogshit. He says, “I’m using (the product) right now”.
This is not an endorsement. You’d watch this video and say, “There’s no fucking way that I’m using this product. Just listen to this terrible audio.”
Then he demonstrates some sort of filter that removes the background. And it looks like fucking shit. There’s a weird halo around him at all times. He doesn’t linger on this, he only shows this for a second, but that was enough to show that this thing doesn’t even work.
Then he demonstrates the “auto-framing” and that doesn’t work either.
There is no way that he got paid for this.
So anyway, Psycho, with Crystal Quin, appropriately enough. She’s wearing a shirt with a hot chick on it who she wants to have sex with.
2:30 – Tony is throwing away his wrestling shit. He says that he’s doing this because of the recent Royal Rumble. It’s some dumb skit. I don’t know. Then there’s the following bizarre exchange:
Crystal: It sounds like there’s a little jealousy happening right now.
Tony: What would I be jealous of? I didn’t watch the Royal Rumble. Did something happen at the Royal Rumble?
Crystal: Just someone proposed to me. That’s cool.
What? What the fuck does any of this have to do with the Royal Rumble? I didn’t watch that shit because I’m an adult but was Crystal on the show getting proposed to? What does…I mean…why does everything have to be about her? And why would she say something about jealousy in regards to the Royal Rumble? None of this makes sense.
Oh. Somebody at the show had a sign that said, “Marry me, Crystal Quin.” Here are some tweets about it:
https://twitter.com/PopCultureJunk2/status/1487663401170083840
https://twitter.com/CrystalQuin/status/1488305440559710213
That sign was definitely written by somebody with mental deficiencies. He had to cram it all in because he didn’t do it in pencil first and space things out properly.
She says that he DM’d her and…yeah, she’s clearly not remotely interested. These horntards just don’t get it.
Oh, here’s a tweet where she says that she’s buying harnesses.
https://twitter.com/CrystalQuin/status/1487139766399291400
Just insert your own horse joke here. I’m above that.
But back to this horntard at the Royal Rumble, why would Tony be jealous? Tony wants a horntard in the audience to hold a sign saying, “Marry Me Tony from Hack the Movies”? That would be creepy as fuck. It’s creepy as fuck as it is.
3:30 – Tony tries to move on and talk about the movie, but Horseface refuses and keeps talking about this incident. It’s her favourite topic, after all: herself.
But yeah, Tony is a big wrestling fan, apparently. This is probably a weird comment but wrestling fans nowadays like cosplaying as their favourite wrestlers, don’t they? Tony could be the late Mike Shaw. Not his Bastion Booger gimmick, because he had a shaved head then, but his Norman the Lunatic gimmick. He was just a big, fat, balding guy with a beard. Tony could pull it off.
Crystal could be Mantaur but I think I’ve already used that joke.
4:00 – So finally, we’re talking about the movie. It’s surprising that they’re picking a movie not from the 1990s or 2000s but, unfortunately, it’s the same old fucking horror bullshit that they do over and over and over again.
Let me look up films of 1960. Spartacus. That’s a good one. Their “review” would be four hours long, though. The Magnificent Seven, another great movie. The Time Machine, I like that one too. And that would be a good one for all the nerds out there.
There’s fucking loads on this list. A lot of French films, Japanese films. I never even heard of most of these, even the American ones. Why not explore some of these? He could be the first person on Youtube to review The Warped Ones, for example. Ooh, it’s a Japanese sexploitation film. Just think of how many times Crystal can point out hot actresses who she’d like to have sex with.
5:45 – Listen to this 15 seconds or so of Crystal talking. I really struggled to understand the words “high school” and “performing arts”. She went to a performing arts high school. Apparently, she skipped diction class. She has this problem a lot. And she’s the only person on these shows who went to a “performing arts high school.”
16:45 – Crystal is being annoying as fuck. I just thought I should chime in because nothing is happening.
18:30 – Again. There’s not really much I can say about this stuff. She’s just over-reacting to everything in an annoying fashion. As she does.
21:45 – Fucking…I don’t even want to transcribe this stuff. And I don’t think it would come across in text anyway. She’s just annoying. In the extreme.
23:15 – She mentions Ed Gein for about the fourth time. People who are obsessed with serial killers tend to be pathetic lunatics. That checks out in this case.
Then they start talking about the movie. Tony described this first 23 minutes as “background.” I guess that’s right. So…that’s his intention with this format anyway. He starts with background information. Then he goes scene by scene telling you what happened in the movie. For about 90 minutes in this case.
26:00 – Crystal is making extremely annoying faces and then she mentions that some actor is “super attractive.”
Okay, well I made it to 30 minutes. Nothing is happening. Crystal isn’t talking about hot chicks who she wants to have sex with. I’m bored out of my fucking mind. She’s annoying. And…I don’t want to do this any more. So yeah, we can stop here. Let’s see what the horntards have to say.
– “I love the energy Crystal brings to the show”
– “Crystal always (fire emojis) need her on every episode. Good energy too “
– “2022 and Crystal is still FINE af”
– “I’m pretty sure Tony paid somebody to hold up that sign cause he loves her like the rest of us lol. I’m also pretty sure crystal knows and is saying “yes” but only if you were rich.”
– “Nice to see you talking about something classic and old for a change”
But it’s the same old shit. It’s always a stupid horror film. This is brainless.
– “Crystal, if it falls through… I would marry you”
– “The girl in glasses makes me happy”
– “I love Crystal good Lord she is bae asf”
I just don’t get these comments at all.
Well, this was a disappointing episode. Wasn’t she going to go back to Twitch? Let me check that. No…nothing.
Instagram. Same old bullshit. A horseface woman in her underpants trying to be sexy.
Here’s her IMDB. It’s…not impressive. All Youtube shit and that “movie” that Newt made.
Wait…she was in a Rex Viper video? Oh let me check this out. I must have missed it. Of course, that means that I have to watch this Rex Viper video now.
Well, I skimmed to make it less painful. She’s credited as “hula hoop girl”. Is that her at like 2:28? Here’s the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bmehnwq9tM
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bmehnwq9tM]I literally thought that it was a man in a dress. Isn’t it?
And is that Newt holding all the clocks? It doesn’t look like him but…if that’s Horseface, it might be. And that does not look like Horseface. It’s a guy, surely. Look at those large, masculine legs. And the large, masculine arms.
Maybe there’s a different hula hoop girl. I’ll keep skimming.
3:21 – We see that guy again, and no, that’s not Newt. But Tony does make a brief appearance. Some shitty CGI, of course. That’s a staple in James Rolfe’s “films”.
3:26 – We get a closer shot of this hula hoop girl and…yeah, that’s Horseface McGee. And yeah, she has large, masculine limbs.
Fortunately, we only see her for a second. She explodes into bad CGI when a football hits her for reasons that aren’t explained.
But that’s really weird. Never in a million years would I guess that that’s Crystal. Or even that it’s a woman. Only armed with the knowledge that it’s Crystal did I recognise it as her.
This is maybe a weird and totally irrelevant comparison but I was reminded of this. I had a job and there was a woman from the Philippines who came in. Smoking hot. Big tits. The whole thing. And she had this like 50 year old English boyfriend with her. I couldn’t figure it out.
Later in the day, somebody told me that this hot Filipina with the big tits is a man. Then it all made sense. The old English guy as a boyfriend, for example. And once you knew that it was a man, you could see the masculine features. Big hands, for example.
Anyway, a little transgender *nostalgia* for you.

My Haunted Movie Theater Story – Newt Wallen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjBiLfSywec
0:00 – “I have my friend Melissa holding the camera because I don’t want to use a tripod because I’m not professional.”
Take that, Horseface. Newt is back in the game. He’s getting all the bitches. I wonder how much he’s paying Melissa to hang out with him.
He’s talking to this woman and he’s looking up to do it. He’s sitting. Is she standing and holding the camera at crotch level? I don’t understand this. Why isn’t she at the same level that he is?
1:00 – “I always wanted to do a paranormal podcast.”
Oh fuck. What a missed opportunity. Jimmy was doing those Atlantis and Bigfoot and whatever podcasts for a little while. Was Newt already fired by then?
Speaking of Screenwave podcasts, I was doing some searching on Reddit from years ago and I discovered something called The Cuddle Pile Podcast Here’s the reference that started my search:
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheCinemassacre/comments/688k5f/mike_matei_on_cuddle_pile_podcast/
It was a podcast hosted by Justin Silverman and Tony from Hack the Movies, but I think that this was before Hack the Movies so he was just Tony. The podcast ran from October 2016 to December 2017. There were 56 episodes so about three times as many as The Cinemassacre Podcast.
I think that they ended the podcast around about the time that they started working for Screenwave or doing shit for AVGN. I don’t know when they started working at Screenwave. Maybe they had been working there for a while already.
They seem to have talked about nerd topics for the most part (video games and comic books) but they also branch out. They talk about Godzilla in the first episode. They have right wing stuff about Trump and “libtard cuck Nazis”. That seems to be Tony’s influence. He injects a lot of right wing stuff into his podcasts “ironically”. It’s what he actually believes, though. They pick Oscar winners in one episode.
They also had some guests. Ryan Schott was an early guest so I suspect that they were already working at Screenwave at this point. Johanna was a guest. He talks about spending Valentine’s Day with Johanna at a strip club in that episode. These are classy folk. Mike Matei was a guest. ReviewTech USA was also a guest.
Anyway, I was interested in checking some of these out but they’ve been scrubbed from the internet pretty good. You can read the descriptions at the link below but the audio files are all gone.
https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/cuddle-pile-podcast-217029/episodes/recent
Maybe this could be Crazy Bobdunga’s next Lost Media video.
The only related thing I found is this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfRX_L5FCWw
It’s Tony in bed with Justin and they’re reading sexual ads that people have put on Craiglist or something in regards to Magfest. It’s guys looking for women (I guess) to have sex with while they’re at Magfest. Just some wacky hijinks from Tony and Justin but maybe it’s something that the boys on Reddit would blow out of all proportion.
Anyway, back to Newt. Oh, yeah. He wanted to do a paranormal podcast. Maybe he can hook up with The Irate Gamer. Irate Gamer (Chris BORES) does that horrendous ghost hunting shit.
1:15 – He actually calls out Bigfoot. What a shame he couldn’t appear on the podcast. Maybe Newt is what could have saved The Cinemassacre Podcast.
2:15 – Newt is telling a story about a haunted movie theatre he worked in. Or something. He used to be Justin Silverman’s boss and would drive Justin to comic book stores. “His dad would be like, ‘You’re not trying to fuck my son, are you?’ And I was like, ‘No, I’m just hanging out with this cool little fat kid. He’s cool.’”
This puts things into some perspective. Justin has said before that his parents were, let’s just say lousy. I won’t repeat the details. But this is another piece of the puzzle. What kind of father would say this about their son?
And how much older is Newt than Justin? I figured that they were about the same age.
Anyway, Newt was Justin’s boss. And then years later, Justin is Newt’s boss and he fired him from Screenwave over some bullshit. I don’t know if there’s any irony to be found here but it does further illustrate the high level of douchebaggery involved in this. “Somebody is definitely going to get fired over this.” Then fire James Rolfe, you fucking coward. Or even yourself for not checking this shit.
3:15 – Newt left this movie theatre job because there was a change of management and he got a pay cut. Then he got cancer so he needed money. So he got a job as a “lot boy”. Melissa asked what this is, which is the same question that I had, and Newt explains that it’s a person at a car dealership who cleans the cars and whatnot.
“I hated it. I used to spend time in the bathroom taking long shits just so I wouldn’t have to be — I know, you’re turned on right now, I can tell.”
He’s saying this while looking up to Melissa. This is not how you woo the ladies. Just download Tinder. This is desperate shit.
He also worked at a used record store on the weekends. Same as Erin, but I assume that she was working at the record store full time.
I don’t really get this, though. He quit the job at the movie theatre so that he can clean cars and work in a record store? Wasn’t the movie theatre job a full-time job with benefits (like health insurance)? Maybe it wasn’t, I don’t know. But he was a manager so you’d think it would be.
I worked some shitty jobs and they had health insurance. So I don’t think that the quality of the job really corresponds to having health insurance or not. I did a job where I made eight bucks an hour but it had full benefits. That’s the reason why a lot of older people worked there, just for the health insurance. This is a pretty common situation in the US.
He’s not going to pay for cancer treatment out of pocket on a “lot boy” wage. He needs insurance.
4:00 – Then he went to a job interview at some other movie theatre. He tells the story about the interview. Nothing too interesting. And he got the job. It was some kind of assistant manager job, if I recall correctly.
5:45 – “Melissa, you’ve been to my apartment. You know that I have old film crap.”
Oh man. Suck on that, Horseface. Newt has moved on.
This is blatant. What the fuck. The only good news is that Melissa doesn’t appear on camera. She maintains her anonymity during this embarrassing spectacle.
He also keeps wiping his nose. You need a tissue there, Newt? This is not appealing. Although, he obviously already has Melissa in his back pocket. He doesn’t need to try any more. It’s a power move. He can say or do whatever disgusting thing he wants now and he knows that she’s not going anywhere.
6:30 – “I was seeing — I was hanging out with this girl at the time, Kelsey.”
He doesn’t stop with this shit. We get it, Newt. The ladies love you. But you don’t have to keep them all on their toes by constantly reminding them of this. Have some compassion. They just want somebody to love them without the constant mind games.
Haha. Newt says that Kelsey was a special education teacher and he told her that he’s hearing ghosts in this movie theatre. So he says, “She was like, ‘Oh god. I deal with these kind of people during the day and now I’m dealing with it at night.’” I was just reminded of James Rolfe, Mr Special Education himself, and his deep appreciation in this sort of mentally retarded shit.
7:00 – So they’re in this theatre, alone, at night. Newt is planning on having sex with this woman. Then something yanks this woman’s hair back and Newt suggests that it’s a ghost.
I’m not going to give the run down of this stupid story. You can check it out for yourself if you’re interested.
7:45 – “Sorry, my nose is running like crazy.”
Yeah. We noticed.
Then Newt flirts with this woman some more. This is brutal. Why release something like this? Just to make Horseface jealous? Come on. It’s embarrassing.
8:15 – A veiled reference to the time that he met Tony from Hack the Movies. He doesn’t name Tony, though. At least I think it’s Tony. He mentioned Justin by name so it’s not him. Maybe it’s Crystal, I don’t know.
Oh, yeah, it is Crystal. He referred to her as a “friend”, that’s what confused me. But then he says that he went on a date with this individual who can’t be named (Horseface McGee).
Then he starts flirting with Melissa some more. This is…just bad. Everything about this is bad. I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you lost your job and your ex-girlfriend that you paid to hang out with but this is not healthy.
9:00 – He’s talking about spending Valentine’s Day with Horseface and she had a gift for him.
12:15 – He talks about his urethra collapsing. What? We don’t need to know this. He then tells a disgusting story about this and, again, this is a misguided attempt at wooing Melissa.
He ends the video by flirting with Melissa some more. Just terrible.
Here’s some free relationship advice, Newt. Don’t try so hard. Let the ladies come to you.
Here’s a small example. I almost never text my girlfriend. She texts me. I usually respond but I’m not texting her out of the blue. She does that.
If I bombarded her with texts and was constantly trying to be witty and impress her and acting like a dancing monkey she would say, “Who is this loser who has nothing else going on in his life? Am I the only woman he can get? This is pathetic” and she’d quickly lose interest.
It’s a little thing but you can apply this concept to loads of situations. Women don’t like this try-hard shit. They don’t like pick up lines. They want somebody who’s not interested in them. They want somebody who has other options or at least appears to have other options. Even if you don’t have any other options, pretend that you do. Give the impression that you do.
I’m not saying be an asshole but make it seem like you don’t give a shit if this relationship continues or not. It’s not going to crush you if it ended. You’re not going to go on Youtube and start crying if this woman stops talking to you.
I don’t wish to suggest that I’m some sort of expert on the ladies or that I’m getting all of the bitches or what have you. But I’ve known my girlfriend for about the same length of time, if not longer, than you’ve known Horseface McGee. And my girlfriend still talks to me.

Erin Plays and Mike Matei have a NES Variety Stream with a PLiNKO Twist! (Part 3)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6thDPgD9X2o
More terrible video to get through. Parts 1 and 2 as below:
https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2022/02/erin-plays-and-mike-matei-have-nes.html
https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2022/02/erin-plays-and-mike-matei-have-nes_0506870596.html
33:30 – Next person to put an Elmo “emote” gets to play. It’s just…I think that I’ve covered why this is idiotic already in previous articles.
By the way, I searched for this Plinko game. It’s $36 at Target. It appears to be an actual sort of game with pricing questions. Like “How much is a can of soup” or whatever. So like the actual Plinko game on The Price is Right. You have to first answer some questions correctly in order to win a Plinko chip.
It has really bad reviews. The main problems seem to be that the board is warped so the chips don’t fall properly, the electronic indicators at the bottom of the game don’t always register a hit when a chip has fallen into the slot, and the board is in two pieces that have to be assembled so there’s a lip that forms at the part where the two pieces come together which causes the chips to fly off of the board.
Basically, it’s a total piece of shit. The fact that it comes in two pieces would be enough for me to not buy this. Of course that’s not going to work.
Why can’t a company just make a good Plinko board? Everything has to be done on the cheap and this is what you get. Get a single large slab of wood, put the fucking pegs in it, use decent card stock for the cards (which was another complaint…flimsy cards) and there you go. Charge $70 for it.
Or does it even have to be wood? I think that the wood is the most expensive part of this. Can’t they use plastic? But good plastic. Plastic that isn’t going to bend. And again, one piece of plastic.
This is also just something that you can make yourself. It would be a fun little project for Mike and Erin. Improve your carpentry skills. They’ve got nothing else going on. Learn how to make a Plinko game.
No, we’ll just buy this cheap piece of shit.
34:00 – The guy picks number 1. Erin says, “Yay! That’s what I would pick.”
Why? It’s the worst possible choice, well, tied with 9. This is not a complicated game. You drop the fucking chips in the middle because the jackpot is in the middle. Even if you’ve never seen the show, as Erin hasn’t, it’s just common sense.
So then this person got 100, which is the lowest prize. That’s good for one minute of gameplay. Not even because they aren’t using a stopwatch. Who could have guessed that putting the chip in the worst possible slot could result in the worst possible prize?
Erin is playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. She’s unbelievably bad at the game. But let’s see if she can even play for one minute without asking, “Is it over yet?”
37:15 – New contestant. Mike chooses the word “Spock”. First horntard to spell it, wins. It’s no “casserole”.
He picks 8 because he’s mentally retarded and it’s another 1 minute. Mike is playing Marble Madness.
40:00 – Now Erin chooses “pancake” as her word. Why is “casserole” funny to Erin but not “pancake”? And she’s just picking food because…she’s an idiot.
Why is Mike playing again? It’s Bubble Bobble for five minutes. They were switching off but Erin is just totally checked out already. She’s commenting on cute fruit in the game.
42:30 – “You just beat this on PS4 the other day? That’s cool.”
Great commentary, Erin. Way to engage with the fans.
They showed about two minutes of this game. Erin just edited all of this out for some reason.
Nothing is even happening. I’m not going to give a rundown of the idiotic words that they choose and the games. I’ll just wait for Erin to say something stupid.
44:45 – That didn’t take long. The guy got the 10 minutes of gameplay and Erin said, “Depending what it is, because I’m having bad hands today, I might have to make him do it.”
Shout out to her fake carpal tunnel syndrome.
It’s Excite Bike and she refuses to play. She edited out the reason why.
“Excite Bike is one of the black box games that I just never played a lot and I don’t really know why.”
Because you don’t play video games, you dumb bitch.
Mike then decides to design a course for Erin to play but then can’t figure out how to do it so they tell him to pick a different game.
Just have Erin play the fucking normal game. What’s the problem?
He picks Snake Rattle n Roll. Erin opted out of this game too. And again, she edited out her explanation as to why.
Mike talks about different games that he’s beaten and Erin just says, “Yeah” a lot. It’s like a child talking to his grandmother about video games. She doesn’t give a shit and doesn’t even know what you’re talking about. “Oh, you beat the Dick Tracy. That’s nice, dear.”
53:00 – A horntard has to tell Erin how much time is left because she can’t even do something as simple as this. Carpal tunnel, I guess. Can’t watch the clock.
56:30 – A horntard asks how Mike and Erin met. Erin says, “We met on the internet.”
Why don’t you give the full story, Erin? You were spamming retro gaming Youtube channels, run by men about ten years older than you, in a deplorable attempt to get into a relationship with one of these losers to improve your Youtube channel. And Mike was the only one pathetic enough to take the bait.
Then something is edited out. Then Mike says, “Didn’t we meet at the movie theatre?” Erin says, “Oh yeah. It was in Texas.” Mike says, “Or was it in Sears?” Erin says, “Yeah. Yeah, we met at Sears.” Mike says, “In the automotive department”. Erin says, “Yeah.” It goes on like this.
Mike makes a joke of this because he knows that it’s creepy as fuck how they met and that this relationship is a total farce. It’s a sugar daddy relationship.
And Erin just keeps saying “yeah” because she’s a complete airhead.
57:15 – Then they take a break. They come back and Erin says, “I just really needed a cup of coffee.”
She’s bored out of her fucking mind with this shit.
Then she thanks Lady Decade for the “raid”.
Then the billionth edit.
This is just ridiculous. She edits out EVERYTHING from this video. What the fuck is she hiding? This is unwatchable.
Mike isn’t here, by the way. He’s probably getting the Elmo puppet.
Yeah, I was right.
57:45: A horntard says that he’s ill. Erin says, “Are you sick? I’m having hand issues so Mike’s helping me play some games today.”
Fuck off.
Then Mike is there with his Ernie puppet.
1:01:30 – The horntard says, “Tag Team Wrestling with Mike” and Erin says, “Oh. So you want Mike to play Tag Team Wrestling.”
No, you fucking moron. He wants you both to play. But this way, Erin doesn’t have to do anything.
Then he corrects her. “Oh, two player mode” and she looks like she’s about to kill herself.
Ernie has left, by the way, and they have a terribly unfunny conversation about this. Erin mostly says, “Yeah.”
Mike calls the character Babe Ruth. I have no idea why.
Anyway, this is stupid. I’m going to call a halt to this article and the series as a whole.
Let’s check out the comments.
Oh wait. Somebody time-stamps all of the games that they played. Super Mario Bros is on here. Let me see. I’ll bet anything that Erin isn’t playing it.
She sure doesn’t.
Oh, somebody left a Youtube comment and he donated $13.99 Canadian. I guess that you can just straight up give money in the Youtube comment section now. How much is that in US dollars? It’s $11. That guy will get a date out of this in no time.
What would possess somebody to give money like this? What are they getting out of this? You might as well flush it down the toilet.
Spend that money on anything else. Get fucking 20 Snickers bars. Wouldn’t you get more enjoyment out of that? You get NOTHING from giving your money to Erin.

Erin Plays and Mike Matei have a NES Variety Stream with a PLiNKO Twist! (Part 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6thDPgD9X2o
Here’s part 1:
https://gamergrrlsofficial.blogspot.com/2022/02/erin-plays-and-mike-matei-have-nes.html
I left off at 9:45.
9:45 – “I’m thinking of a way to choose. See, it’s hard.
Why didn’t she think of this BEFORE the stream? It’s fucking ridiculous. She puts absolutely no effort into anything. This is why she’s at where she’s at in life. She should go on some kind of speaking tour, like how former prisoners will do talks in high schools or whatever. Scared Straight stuff. “If you don’t put any effort into your life, you’re going to end up making shitty Youtube and Twitch videos for $10,000/year while getting fucked in the ass by a man you don’t love.” Then she steals everyone’s shoes.
That last comment is probably too deep of a cut. Let me look for a clip. Oh, here we go.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcQW_-bEPrE
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcQW_-bEPrE]10:30 – After yet another edit, she says, “Whoever types the number 122 first gets to choose.”
How fucking stupid is this? Before she even finished the sentence, somebody probably typed 122.
What about trivia? Ask a trivia question. Could be about video games, could be about Britney Spears, could be about your favourite colour, whatever. The options are wide open. And it would make things significantly more interesting.
No. Who can type “122” the fastest. This is fucking moronic.
Then another edit. There’s more stuff that’s been edited out of this video than has been left in.
11:00 – Another edit. This is so badly edited that I don’t even know what’s happening any more.
11:30 – It’s Mach Rider. Erin says, “I’ll play this one. I can do this one.”
Why can’t she do all of them? This is her fucking stream.
Erin should be playing and Mike should be entertaining the chat. He can talk about what Star Trek characters he wants to fuck in the ass or whatever while Erin plays the games, poorly.
12:00 – “I’ve never played this before.”
It’s just endless.
“Oh you can shoot people. Wait. Why aren’t I going?
There are two buttons, you fucking cretin. Press them.
It’s a motorcycle racing game where you can shoot things, by the way. I guess.
“Am I trying to shoot oil tanks?”
This is brutal. She has no idea what the controls are or what the objective is.
13:30 – Mike says that he doesn’t remember this game. Erin says, “Sometimes somebody will say, ‘You played dadada for 30 minutes’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t remember that’”.
So a horntard will remind Erin that she played a particular game, for 30 minutes, on stream, for money, and Erin doesn’t remember it. Well of course not. Why would she? Why would anyone? Playing a game for 30 minutes, on stream, for money is not particularly memorable. But Erin actually thinks that playing a game for 30 minutes is a long time. She’s surprised that she doesn’t remember such a thing. She’s a real gamer, guys.
14:30 –
Erin: Isn’t this over now?
Mike: No, you have three more minutes
.Erin is already done. She doesn’t want to play any more. She played for two minutes and wants to quit already. Playing a game for five minutes is too much for her.
16:15 – “I should set a timer on my phone? I really should. That’s a good idea.”
That was a suggestion from the horntards. The mentally retarded people in the chat are smarter than Erin.
16:30 – “So is it over yet?”
She can’t stand this. Five fucking minutes. Can’t do it.
Mike says, “That’s about enough.”
So that guy who picked the game just got fucked. This wasn’t five minutes. Actually, I think it was over five minutes. But just play until Mike tells you to stop. Why keep bitching about this?
16:45 – “So how do you want to pick a person?”
Mike is going to say a word and the first person to type the word can play this stupid Plinko game. It’s just idiotic. Why is this a fucking typing test? Or possibly a spelling test. These people are mentally retarded. Come on. Figure out a random way to do this or do some kind of trivia thing. Don’t tax these people’s brains.
The word is “fart.” Mike Matei is over 40 years old.
Then this guy picks number 9. Why would anybody pick a number other than 5? Five is right in the middle of the board. Nine is on the very edge. I’m going to say that it’s impossible to get the 10,000 jackpot if you put the chip in 9. The jackpot is the middle section.
Well…these people are retarded.
18:00 – So now it’s Mike playing Donkey Kong 3 for five minutes. I’m surprised that he got into the 5 minute slot.
18:30 – “This game stresses me out. I get stressed with everything.”
Get a job, Erin. This is not for you.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever played this on stream, but when I play it, I’m just going all over the place.”
Fuck off. If you didn’t play it on stream, you didn’t play it. Stop the blatant lies.
19:45 – “You’re shooting bug spray up his ass.”
Yeah. We know, Erin. That’s the game. How did you not know this? You said that you’ve played this before. How is it possible that she missed this in any of her no doubt thousands of playthroughs of Donkey Kong 3? It’s the entire point of the game. It’s the only thing that happens in the game. But this is all new to Erin. How?
Because she’s a lying bitch and she never played this before. She’s never even seen the game before.
20:45 – “Yellow Devil is a pain in the ass in Megaman 1? I like the Yellow Devil. He makes me laugh.”
Brilliant commentary, Erin. She’s never played the game. She has no idea what this guy is talking about. Or if she does have some vague idea of who this character is, the only thing that she can say is, effectively, that he’s “cute” because she has no fucking experience playing the game.
Then Mike is talking about the “start trick” and Erin just says “mmm”. She has NO IDEA what he’s talking about.
I’ve never played any Mega Man game in my life but even I know what he’s talking about.
21:30 – A horntard asks Erin what her favourite and least favourite 2d Castlevania games are. She’s going to struggle with this, I just know it.
She gave two favourites, no least favourite, and then Mike interrupted, presumably to try to save her.
21:45 –
Mike: I’ve got a Castlevania thing. So you’ve played more Castlevania…games than me at this point.
Erin: Yeah! I’m a better gamer grrl than you are.
Hey, a shout out to the blog.
But note how Mike had to add “games” to his comment. He was about to say that Erin played more Castlevania than him, but he knew that that wasn’t right. Because Erin only plays on stream, for money, whereas Mike surely played these NES Castlevania games for many hours as a kid, in his spare time, off-stream, as was the style at the time.
But just by sheer volume of games, Erin has played more Castlevania games than Mike. Because she’ll play a game once, on stream, for money, and then…that counts for something in this stupid discussion that they’re having.
Mike says, “However, when are you going to do Haunted Castle?”
What? Who gives a shit? He just had to ask a question right away to save her from that “What’s your least favourite 2d Castlevania game.” That question was too much of a brainteaser for Erin.
Erin says, “I’m not saying I’ll beat it but I’m saying that I’ll dedicate a stream to it.”
Fucking pathetic. Moving on.
22:15 –
Mike: You need to do the second one on Nintendo 64.
Erin: Oh my god, yeah. Because I streamed it for like two hours, the beginning of it, and it’s like, really good. It’s not really good. I take that —
Mike: What’s the name of that game?
Erin: Castlevania Legends? 64 Legends? It’s so much better than just normal Castlevania 64.
Mike: I thought that it was like Legacy of Darkness.
Erin: (Reading from the chat) Legacy of Darkness! That’s right. Thank you.
She’s a real Castlevania fan, boys. Doesn’t even know the name of the game. Moving on.
23:00 – “Castlevania for Dreamcast? I did a video on that.”
That’s great, Erin. Everything is for a stream or a shitty Youtube video.
23:30 – Another edit. Donkey Kong 3 is over. Erin is coming up with a way to select the next contestant.
You have to put the chair “emote” in. It took her a while to come up with this brilliant idea. She used this idea earlier in the stream. It was the first one.
23:45 – He picks 6.
Mike: Everyone is picking 6.
Erin: They must think it’s the good one. I don’t know.
Great commentary, Erin. They’re probably picking it because it’s one of the few logical choices. You want to pick something in the middle because the $10,000 jackpot is in the middle.
Just watch The Price is Right. Nobody is going all the way to end to drop their fucking Plinko chip. You’d be a moron to do that. They’re all dropping it in the middle.
Erin has never seen The Price is Right, of course.
24:15 – Then Erin starts singing Believe. Oh. Because somebody in the chat thought that she said “Cher” instead of “chair”.
Then Mike starts barking like a cartoon dog for some reason.
Erin says, “That song was fucking everywhere when I was in fourth or fifth grade and I hated it.”
Really? When was this released? 1998? Wow, that’s way later than I thought.
Oh. Then Mike suggests that they should do a K-pop version and it should be Scooby-Doo singing. So that’s what he was doing. I guess. I thought that he was just making an ass out of himself, but no. He was demonstrating the K-pop version of Believe, as sung by Scooby Doo that he wants to see happen.
24:30 – Erin says, “I’ve got a treat for you guys. If you’re ever bored, look up the Kids Bop version of Mariah Carey’s We Belong Together and they didn’t edit out this part, where, like, it’s a really long note and a girl just starts, like, coughing at the end of it.”
Erin…we don’t fucking care. We’re here to watch somebody play RC Pro Am. If it’s not going to be you for whatever bizarre reason, this being your stream and all, at least shut the fuck up and let Mike play. It’s only going to be two minutes anyway. Not even because you’re not even using a stopwatch.
25:00 – “Oh shit, the time. I can’t do this.”
She was too busy regaling us with her Kids Bop story to note what time Mike started playing RC Pro Am.
25:15 – “This game stresses me the fuck out.”
Eugh. Just go away, Erin. We’re sick of this shit. It’s never going to be a success. Put your music trivia skills to good use. Find the last surviving record store in America and apply for a job.
26:45 – A horntard asks Erin what game she would speedrun. Erin says, “Probably Yoshi’s Island.” It’s the same three games over and over and over again. And she’s barely even played the three games that she always mentions.
27:00 – So that was two minutes. Sort of. Mike just guessed because Erin wasn’t paying attention.
Mike is about to pick a word that the horntards have to type. Erin interrupts.
Erin: I thought of a word that I would pick.
Mike: Do you want to pick a word?
Erin: Can I?
Mike: Yeah.
Erin: Casserole!
Mike looks confused as fuck. This is a “joke” in Erin’s diseased mind. Why? What’s funny about this? But she looks at Mike with a big smile like she’s expecting him to bust a gut over this. It’s…this is not comedy. It’s just a random word.
I’d be interested if the winner actually spelled the word correctly. I can’t check the original video because Erin didn’t upload it.
Then the guy lost his turn. Then there was about the 100th edit in this video thus far.
28:30 – So Mike chooses a word that they have to type now. It’s Epcot. It’s just so stupid.
29:00 – Erin suggests that if they do this again, she should dress up like “one of the girls” and Mike should dress up like Bob Barker.
You mean one of Barker’s Beauties, Erin? You’ve seen the show, right? The models were called “Barker’s Beauties.” It’s a little weird and sexist but times were different.
And…yeah, Erin is no Dian Parkinson. She’s not even Dian Parkinson today, at 77 years old.
30:30 – This new contestant picks Bubble Bath Babes but Erin says they can’t do it. So he goes for Rivercity Ransom. For two minutes. Give or take. Erin is playing.
30:45 – “So I’m horrible at this game”.
She’s at the starting screen. You can pick the message speed. She starts to pick “slow” before seeing that it’s just for message speed. She wants to put this on easy. It’s the next option. Just fucking go. The clock is ticking.
God. This is the worst Rivercity Ransom footage ever recorded. She’s just spamming the punch and kick buttons but the enemies just keep backing up to stay out of range.
32:00 – “I like when Bob would be like, ‘What do you do for a living’ and he would just roast people.”
What? I’ve never seen that. What the fuck is she talking about?
Or he would say, “Oh, are you really 29? I see a few wrinkles there.”
I’ve never seen Bob Barker make a comment like this. Not once. She’s never seen the fucking show. She’s just completely making this up. Bob Barker did not behave like an asshole on the show. She’s the asshole. I’m sure that Bob Barker was also an asshole when not on camera but on the show, no. He was witty and urbane.
“And he wouldn’t let it go. He kept roasting this woman for her age and her skin.”
What is she talking about? She might have seen a clip on Youtube or something and now this is her only experience with the show.
Then Mike starts contributing to this story so they must have watched an episode together, recently. They say that this was an episode from the 70s. This is Erin’s only experience with the show. An episode that she saw recently upon Mike’s insistence.
33:15 – Erin says, “Alright, I think that’s been two minutes.”
Mike will tell you when it’s over. She can’t even play a game for two fucking minutes.
We can stop here. Part three of this epic saga tomorrow.

Erin Plays and Mike Matei have a NES Variety Stream with a PLiNKO Twist! (Part 1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6thDPgD9X2o
0:00 – “Hey guys! What’s up? I’m here with…Mike?”
Why does she always do this? Like she has to think about what his name is. Or she’s just choking on bile at the mere idea of having to say his name aloud.
0:15 –
Mike: So you know Plinko from the Price is Right with Bob Barker?
Erin: Yeah!
Mike: And you know it with Drew Carey.
Erin: Eugh.
She’s never seen an episode of Price of Right in her life, with either Bob Barker or Drew Carey. This is all made up bullshit. She’s just pretending to like the show, especially the Bob Barker episodes from before she was born.
0:45 –
Mike: We have these little chips here.
Erin: And they have the Price is Right logo on them!
(Mike totally ignores that stupidity)
(Erin laughs nervously)
Mike: So let’s say, I see that ShiShi is in the chat, right?
Is there ever a time when ShiShi isn’t in the chat? How does he do it? How is he able to be there for every fucking stream of Mike’s, Erin’s, and whatever other gamer grrls he stalks? Because my understanding is that Mike and Erin will stream at any time, day or night, any day of the week. There’s no set schedule. And they stream this stuff on short notice. So they’ll put a tweet out saying, “I’m going to be streaming in 15 minutes” or whatever and that’s it. How is he able to catch every one of these?
He obviously doesn’t have a job but he must sleep. Maybe he gets notifications on his phone that wake him up. Like every time Erin tweets, his phone makes a noise.
But what about just things like eating or bathing or going to a doctor’s appointment or whatever? Getting groceries. Personal errands, if you will. Doesn’t he ever get caught out? He’s there for every fucking stream. How is it possible?
So here are the rules of this Plinko thing. Warning: it’s really, really stupid.
Somebody in the chat will get chosen to pick a number. The numbers correspond to the slots on this cheap Plinko toy that they bought. Then Mike will drop a chip into that slot and the chip will fall to the bottom. Mike and Erin will play an NES game of your choice for a certain number of minutes depending on where the chip lands. So if it lands on 100, they’ll play for a minute. 500 is 2 minutes. 1000 is 5 minutes. 10,000 is 10 minutes. 0 is you lose.
Why the fuck would anybody want to watch somebody play a game for these ridiculously low amounts of time? Let’s say you get 100. That means one minute of gameplay. They’re going to get to the title screen and then say, “Oh, that’s a minute. Next game.”
And there’s not really much difference between these times. 10,000 is ten times as much as 1,000 but the “prize” is only twice as much. I’m not saying that you should get ten times as many minutes if you hit the 10,000 jackpot. I’m saying that the whole idea is fucking idiotic and should scrapped altogether.
This is similar to Mike’s “sub wheel”. He made a few videos using this. Here’s one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoTJTzvQYco
That was actually decent in concept but his “prizes” could have been better. It was shit like he’ll play the game while holding the controller upside down, he’ll bring his Elmo puppet out for a little while, he’ll draw something, shit like this.
But it at least made sense and it was something different. I think that Erin also stole this wheel for a stream of her own. She must have used different “prizes” though.
2:00 – There’s an edit after Erin explains how the contestants are going to get chosen. She says that it will be “random” but…not at all random. She’s an idiot. Anyway, let’s see what she’s trying to hide again.
Oh, she actually took the video down from Twitch. It was up a couple of days ago. There must have been some really weird shit in there that she was embarrassed about.
So we’re picking the first contestant. You have to be the first person to insert a certain “emote” that’s only available to subscribers. This is what I was talking about. This is not fucking random. First of all, it’s only available to subscribers. Secondly, this is a game of skill now. Only the most dexterous horntards are going to have a chance. And a lot of people with mental disabilities also have physical disabilities. Did she not consider this?
Then Erin declares the winner, says, “What game do you want?” and Mike has to correct her, “No, we have to play the game (Plinko) first.” Then Erin laughs nervously because, once again, she exposed herself as an idiot for the whole world to see. Was the record store really that bad?
2:45 – Another edit, but sadly, Miss Plays doesn’t want us to see what stupid thing she said.
It lands in the 10,000 slot and Erin starts imitating a bell ringing and then says, “Because that’s what they do on Price is Right and…ummm…Family Feud and I want that job.”
What job? The bell ringer job, I guess, but of course there’s no such job. And are these the only two games that use a bell ringing sound? Just about every game show does this. God, she’s so fucking stupid. She’s never seen any game show in her life.
Oh, this is terrible. They’re not even using a fucking stopwatch for this. They’re just using the clock on their computer. So let’s say you get 1 minute of gameplay. Unless Erin looks at the clock right after the time changes, you’re not even going to get that minute.
Let’s say that she looks at the clock at 7:10:59. She doesn’t know what the seconds are. She only knows that it’s 7:10. But then one second later, it’s going to be 7:11 so your time is up. You got one fucking second of an NES game of your choice.
There’s no excuse for this. If you don’t have an actual stopwatch, just use your fucking phone. There’s a stopwatch app that probably comes pre-installed on your phone. If not, go to the app store and download a free stopwatch app. There’s also surely some website that will also do this if you just want to use your computer.
But no. She’s just going to use the fucking clock on her computer that only displays hours and minutes. This is all so half-assed, nobody thought anything out, and it’s not going to fucking work. This stream is a microcosm for Erin’s entire streaming “career”.
Mike is playing the game, by the way.
3:30 –
Erin: I feel like I should find it more enjoyable than I do.
(Mike looks confused.)
Erin: But I was just getting pissed. I think that I just made it to the second area where there was like trees and leaves and stuff and I was just like, “Fuck it. I can’t.”
Oh. She’s talking about the one time when she played this game. On stream, for money, of course. Briefly.
And the horntard obviously chose this game because he wants ERIN to play it. But Mike is playing. Mike is playing in this Erin Plays stream. I guess because of Erin’s imaginary carpal tunnel syndrome.
4:15 – Really weird edit. What the fuck is she trying to hide here? She just suddenly zoomed into some part of the game.
4:30 – “I just like watching your face. You’re such a good sport, Mike.”
Erin is amazed that Mike is playing this game. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the game, as far as I can tell. But Erin is amazed that people play video games because she’s not remotely interested in this shit.
4:45 – Erin reads a message from a horntard stating that he recently bought one of her shirts. Erin gets really excited by this and says that “hoodies are coming.”
Can’t wait for that. Get your Erin Plays hoodies.
https://erin-plays.creator-spring.com/?
Oh, she has a mug now. What about a Fleshlight? Can you do that? Custom Fleshlights modelled on your own vagina?
Oh, you can. Not a Fleshlight but a knock off version. Should I link to this? Better not risk it. Nothing would really happen but the article might get marked as NSFW. But the company is Shevibe.
She’d have to charge like $150 for these things to make it worth her while. But ShiShi and the gang would pay twice that.
5:30 – “I like the angry frog. He’s cute.”
Eugh. This is awful.
I’ve already written so much but I’m only at five minutes. I’ll get to ten minutes and then stop. This will be a multi-part article.
6:15 – Mike says, “I hate this game. I think I get to say that too because I’ve beaten it.” Then Erin laughs nervously, knowing that she only played it once, briefly, on stream, for money. Then there’s an edit.
Why is she editing out the fucking gameplay? What is this shit? We only get ten minutes (at best) of this shit and she’s editing it all out.
6:45 – Mike says, “What’s an NES game that Erin hates?”
I can answer that one for you, Mike. All of them. And Erin is looking awkward as fuck right now because she knows full well that that’s the truth. She doesn’t know anything about these games, she doesn’t give a shit about them, she doesn’t want to be there, she hates everything about her life, and she wants to be anywhere but here right now.
Then Mike asks her what NES games she hates. “There must be an NES game that you hate.” And Erin says, “Oh, yeah. I’m trying to think.”
She doesn’t know any games, Mike. You know this. Why are you setting her up for failure? He does this a lot. I think that it’s intentional. It’s some passive aggressive thing.
Erin says, “I feel like the chat will have an answer.”
Why don’t you have an answer, Erin? If somebody asks me for an NES game that I hate, I don’t have to ask anyone else. I know what games I hate. Why don’t you? Because she doesn’t play this shit. She doesn’t care. She doesn’t know any of the games.
“I’m trying to think. Games that I actually hate?”
Then she looks at the chat. “Skate or Die? I kind of hate Skate or Die.”
Don’t look at the chat, Erin. Just give an answer. What NES games do you hate? Just name one.
She can’t do it. She’s just reading the answers from the chat now.
She couldn’t name one fucking game that she doesn’t like. Okay, forget that. Name an NES game that you like. She couldn’t even do that. Super Mario Bros, I guess would be her answer. She’s a big Mario fan. And then you watch that video…holy shit…let me search the archives.
Aw. This was back when I had the Erin Plays sub and the article has been lost to the ages. But I reviewed this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKXb4tiI_PI
Erin is playing Mario Maker 2 with Mike and it’s the worst Mario gameplay ever recorded.
7:15 – Then there’s another edit. Who needs to see the gameplay? We’re just here for riveting comments about Erin’s top: “Where did I get this? I got this at Hot Topic a while ago. Then they had another one that I should have got but now it’s sold out.”
Fascinating stuff, Erin. Tell us more about clothes you have and clothes that you wish you had.
By the way, that question about what NES game Erin hates, that subject has been dropped. Maybe that’s what she edited out: the awkward end to that conversation.
“Target, in the men’s section, has a hoodie right now. I keep up with all of the Sailor Moon merch. There’s actually a lot out there right now. There’s a (something) and Box Lunch (???). And…but yeah, I think just Target, Box Lunch, and Hot Topic right now. Oh, and Primitive Skatewear right now has a new Sailor Moon collection but I don’t like it as much as the last one so I might pass on it. And it’s unisex.”
What is she even talking about? How does she know any of this? She knows the current clothing merchandise being sold in these stores?
Is Box Lunch even the name of the store? Let me look this up.
Yeah. They seem to sell a lot of Disney shit.
This is what she’s interested in. Somebody asks about cute clothes and she’s able to answer right away. No hesitation, she didn’t need the horntards to give her the answer. She just spoke freely for a good few minutes about clothes that she likes and which stores you can find these clothes.
I mean, nobody gives a shit. These people are interested in video games. But this is what Erin is interested in. This is what she spends her time on. She’s checking out all of the clothing websites for cute new clothes. She’s keeping up with anything that Britney Spears is saying or doing. She’s looking at Disney shit. This is what she’s interested in. Not not these old fucking video games. She’s butchering this very video because she doesn’t care about the gameplay and she doesn’t think that anybody else does. Just keep the bits where she’s talking about clothes. Fuck this gameplay bullshit.
Then Mike starts talking about the game and Erin doesn’t give the slightest of fucks. She just continues to look at the chat.
Mike: Why can’t you touch these fucking things? You know why? Because you’re supposed to put the candy in them before you can get in them or whatever.
Erin: (sarcastically) Put the candy in them, Mike.
Then there’s another edit. Erin…we’re here to watch a couple of real gamers like you and Mike play video games. Don’t you get it? That’s the whole point of the channel, right? Video games? Why are you editing out all of the video game footage?
8:15 – Mike is talking about the game, Erin doesn’t give a fuck, so she interrupts him to answer a brainless question from the chat. “Hey (some horntard). We’re good.”
That needed to be said? She had to interrupt Mike to answer that fucking braindead “How are you?” question that gets asked 500 times a stream?
And she just gave her usual answer. “We’re good.” Super. We needed that update? Has your status changed from two minutes ago when some other horntard asked that and you gave the same answer?
8:45 – A horntard mentioned Princess Tomato. He presumably said that Erin doesn’t like the game. We’re still on that. Erin says, “I like Princess Tomato!”
She played it once. On stream, for money. And then never again. As usual.
Erin: I like that game a lot. It’s insane.
Mike: Oh, yeah. You like that game.
Is Mike out of his fucking mind? He knows full well that she only played it once, on stream, for money, and then never again. Why is he going along with these lies? She’s not playing that shit in her spare time. Not once. And he knows it.
9:15 – “They’re just going to pick games to torture me. That’s how this is going to go.”
Why is he even playing this? I will bet anything that Erin explained, in one of the parts that she’s edited out, that Mike will be playing the games because of her “hand problems”.
9:30 – So Mike finished with this game. I’m going to stop here. There’s another 90 minutes to go. At this rate, I should be able to get another nine articles out of this.

Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness review and retrospective – Cannot be Tamed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3emfD1mbI74
Whoa. Some…sort of cosplay from Pam. Well, she’s wearing a choker anyway. And her usual black top.
She should have cosplayed as Rusalka. Maybe not the sexy Rusalka who’s nude in that lake but I mean the zombie Rusalka after you’ve freed her from her spell.
This video is 18 minutes but this is one of the rare times where I’ve actually played the game that’s being discussed and enjoyed it. The Quest for Glory series was my favourite game series for a long time as a kid.
1:00 – She’s talking about the three different characters you can play as. She says that she usually plays as a thief but also puts point into magic.
This is one of her favourite games? This is a game that she’s written slash fiction on?
It’s been a long time since I’ve played the game but I know that these “hybrid” characters sort of fuck the game up.
I used to play a thief and give them magic points as well, as a kid. But in subsequent playthroughs, as an adult, I played the classes pure because that’s how you get the intended experience. If you’re a thief but you have magic points assigned, the game sometimes thinks that you’re a magic user (as opposed to a thief) and this somehow changes what you can and can’t do in the game. I can’t think of any examples but…let me look this up.
Yeah, here we go.
Hybrid characters do not always get full access to the puzzles available to both classes, particularly in Quest for Glory III: Wages of War and Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness.
For example, non-Wizard characters in QG4 cannot access the Resistance spell or gain access to a staff in QG4, since only a Wizard character will encounter Tatiana and this event will not occur for other classes, regardless of magic skill.
Wait…that’s not actually a problem. I don’t know. Anyway, I always played pure classes as an adult like a proper Quest for Glory aficionado.
2:45 – She inserts a Monty Python (or something) clip into the video. Odd attempt at humour.
5:15 – Pathetic shout out to Rusalka. Just go look at porn, Pam.
6:45 – She pronounces Baba Yaga and Baba Yay-ga. Long “a” sound in Yaga. That can’t be right.
13:00 – She’s going to talk about “the one area of the game that really makes me cringe.” Let’s see what non-woke bullshit she’s complaining about.
Oh. You have to be fucking kidding me. She’s complaining about “a long tirade about gypsies.”
“In 1993, I don’t think that we really recognised that this is a slur that we shouldn’t use but it’s not just the word, it’s the rant about the bad qualities of these people that were taken from real life prejudices that makes this all very uncomfortable.”
First of all, this game takes place in medieval times.
Secondly, the game takes place in like Romania, which had and has a large gypsy population.
Thirdly, I don’t think that “roma” was a term that was in wide use, if at all, in medieval times.
Fourthly, the gypsies in the game are portrayed in a sympathetic fashion.
Finally, the game is depicting actual apathy to gypsies, which is accurate to the time period and the setting.
What the fuck does Pam know about gypsies? She lives in Canada. No gypsies there.
You see them in Europe. In the UK, most of the beggars you see are gypsies. Gypsies are also grifters. They’re scammers. They go door to door doing home repair scams. They’re generally a nuisance. They engage in criminal behaviour. There’s a reason why anti-gypsy sentiments exist. They weren’t selected at random.
They don’t work. They refuse to get jobs. They’re involved in organised crime. This is the culture. It’s a culture of not working and crime.
It’s a problem throughout Europe. It’s fairly negligible in the UK. The further east you go, the worse it gets. Anybody who lives in Europe knows about it. It’s not because Europe is full of Nazis who have irrational contempt for non-white people, it’s because gypsies genuinely behave poorly. To put it mildly.
But Pam, who has never seen a “Roma” person in her life, thinks that she knows better. Gypsies are just an abstract concept to her. She doesn’t realise that these are real people and they do real things that cause real contempt by other real people.
It’s easy to say that gypsies should be treated like everybody else, in the abstract. We can all agree with that. But when you see how these people actually behave, things start to become clear. It’s not that people don’t like gypsies. What they don’t like are beggars, thieves, and all the other weird, often criminal stuff that people of the Roma community so commonly exhibit.
So that’s the video. It was thorough, I guess, but ruined by her bizarre rant against anti-gypsy sentiment in the game.

This GamePro Magazine from 1990 had THE BEST Ads! – Erin Plays
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_HG9lIDZiU
I was waiting for Erin to release a number of these shitty “shorts” videos so that I could review them all together but it seems like Erin has already given up on this shit. This video was posted 20 days ago at the time of me writing this and it’s her latest video.
She can’t even be bothered to post shitty one minute videos every week. And wasn’t her idea to post these things in addition to her regular videos once a week? Because she said that the algorithm wants MORE than one video a week.
Here we are, nearly three weeks have gone by, and no videos at all from Erin. Her last normal video was over a month ago.
She’s looking at a random GamePro magazine from Mike’s collection.
“Ooh, Thunder Force III is good.”
Great commentary, Erin. Let me see if I can find the one time when she played this game, which, naturally, was on stream, for money.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rm0S6ab3ek
It was during a “variety stream” and she played Thunder Force V. So not even the game that’s being advertised. She played it for about five minutes. She really likes Thunder Force III, guys. She’s a real “gamer”.
You know what…there’s really no need for me to transcribe this video. It’s just a series of “jokes”. And I’m saying “jokes” in the Erin sense. They aren’t jokes by any normal definition, but in her diseased mind, she thinks that these are jokes. They’re just awkward statements, often showcasing her complete ignorance about video games. There’s no punchline to speak of. But she thinks that these are jokes.
This is complete dogshit. Nobody could possibly find this funny, entertaining, or informative.
– “Fend off”? More like “bend over”, that’s what I was doing in castlevania as a kid”
I invite explanations on this one. What the fuck is he talking about? Maybe I don’t want to know. Something to discuss with a therapist, perhaps.
– “Erin, I just wanted to say I really love your channel. I love your energy and enthusiasm. I also love your differing viewpoints of retro games. By “differing”, I don’t mean opposing. You and I see retro gaming differently, but we both love it, and it’s cool to see a viewpoint that’s different but also from someone who loves what you love. That’s really awesome. I hope your channel continues indefinitely. I’ll keep watching.”
Erin replies, “Thanks so much for the nice comment! I’m so glad you enjoy my channel. I’m not going anywhere and thanks for watching!”
Why is Erin so adamant that she’s “not going anywhere.” She’s right, she’s not going anywhere. She’s wasting her life with this shit.
But why the militancy? Why does she so want to continue to go down this obviously doomed path? This is never going to amount to anything. Look at these fucking videos. They’re indescribably bad. She knows absolutely nothing about video games, she’s not remotely interested in video games, and she’s a total personality blackhole. There’s no fixing any of this.
Anything on her Twitter? She streamed another “variety stream” with Mike recently. But there’s some LAME AS FUCK Plinko thing that they do. Hopefully she uploads that video.
Let’s check out her beta orbiter Joe from Gamesack. She links to his Twitter.
https://twitter.com/GameSack/status/1485423790800912384
“PSA: If you have some minor trivia to correct me on in a recent episode, please rest assured that hundreds of others have already let me know before you.”
Passive aggressive behaviour against your “fans”. Good way to grow the channel.
Oh, Erin replies, “Bbbbbut it’s SO exciting to get the chance to make a correction or point out a mistake!!”
And then she has a giant fucking animated gif that…isn’t even related to anything, as far as I can tell. God, she’s so fucking boring. She never has anything interesting to say. Not even in written form. I mean, I get being boring in the videos. It’s tough for some people to think on their feet, as it were. But with writing, you have all the time in the world to think of something to say. She just doesn’t have anything going on in her head. She’s never done anything in her entire life so she has nothing to talk about. She’s not used to having to talk to people in any kind of engaging fashion.
You see this a lot with internet dating. The women are so used to guys acting like dancing monkeys and just bombarding them with “witty” comments and questions that the women put absolutely ZERO effort in return. They refuse to even attempt to uphold their end of the conversation. In many cases, I’m not even sure if it’s lack of effort. These women have gone their entire adult lives like this with men constantly vying for their attention so they simply don’t know how to have a conversation. They’ve never done it before. And as a result, these are incredibly boring women. Just like Erin.
John Riggs, Mike Matei, and RGT85 also reply. They also deride their viewers. They suggest that the people watching their videos are nerds and losers and mentally retarded.
They’re not wrong but this is their fucking audience. These are the people watching the videos. These are the people sending them money. And these loser “Youtubers” have no problem insulting them in a public forum.
How dare the horntards try to talk to you about video games. Shut the fuck up. I don’t care. I’m above this. I’m a big, important Youtuber.
Let’s look up how much money Joe from Gamesack is getting from this shit.
Nearly $21,000/year, according to SocialBlade. Whoa! Look out, everyone. We have a real baller here.
Minimum wage in Colorado, where Joe lives, is $12.00/hour. That would be about $25,000/year.
But of course with Youtube, there’s also the prestige of being a 45 year old single, balding man who plays video games for the entertainment of the mentally challenged.
Oh, this is interesting. Erin links to Joe from Gamesack’s Twitter but Joe doesn’t return the favour.
https://twitter.com/GameSack/status/1484547624011247616
“I haven’t been in the movie theater bidness in 10+ years but always manage to find myself back in one projection booth or another.”
Oh. So Joe used to work in a movie theatre before he became a big Youtube celebrity. It’s a common story. “Youtubers” tend to have work histories along the retail/fast food/cinema vein.
I’m not denigrating the jobs, it’s honest work, but how come you never see any former doctors or dentists or accountants or the like becoming retro gaming “Youtubers”? Or even any kind of skilled job? Where are the electricians or the air traffic controllers or the elevator repairmen? Where are the window cleaners? Where are the nurses? Where are the truck drivers?
If you have a decent job, you’re not getting into Youtube. Youtube is for people who worked in record stores or Walmart or a movie theatre and these people hate their jobs so much that they decide to risk it by trying to become a big Youtube star. They sacrifice their dignity in this endevour.
And then these same people, these people who have failed to obtain any kind of halfway decent employment, will go on Twitter and openly mock and insult their audience as though they’re somehow better than them.
If it weren’t for these people watching the videos and leaving comments and sending money, you’d be back in the cinema making their popcorn. Or in the record store selling them 30 year old Bruce Springsteen albums. Or working the cash register, scanning their 10 pound bags of manure.
You might want to be grateful. Grateful that you can play video games (poorly in some cases) for a living. Or some kind of living, anyway. $21,000/year. Go get a job at Subway, you bald fuck. You’d make more money and maybe be able to get a girlfriend.
