Happy Yule!

Just letting you guys know that everything is still on schedule and the new episode should be done before christmas. I should have a poster and teaser trailer posted tomorrow too.
The episode being released is the same one I lost on the harddrive oh so many months ago. I had to reshoot a lot of footage and reedit the entire thing from scratch so I'm very excited about finally finishing it!

I've been updating some of the site pages the last couple of days here so be sure to check out the fanart section which has been long overdue for an update. I might've lost a few pieces from the harddrive crash but I think that's just about all of them.
Also here are some fantastic Fan-made Irate Gamer theme song renditions.

Happy Halloween Everyone. I re-mastered the Zombies Ate My Neighbors review awhile ago for the 2nd dvd, but since the release is still a long way off, I decided to post it for the holiday. Enjoy!

RALPH BAER RESPONDS!
Wow! Yesterday just a few hours after posting the second half of the Magnavox Odyssey review, I received an email from the creator of the console Ralph Baer himself telling me that he watched the review. I want to personally thank Ralph for watching the show (even though he might not understand parts of it) and taking time out of his day to write me a letter. It's quite an honor for me!

First off, thank you all your email and support on the hard drive situation. I haven't had any news updates yet on the status since it's still being worked on but you'll be happy to know that I've already been working on the next review which is the History of Video Games part 2. And this one may take some time since there is a lot more ground to cover than the first installment. I do have a new review up however it's only a few minutes long. It's the best I could do with such short notice.

Disaster strikes...
I've got some really bad news. My computer crashed over the weekend and unfortunately the next review (which was almost completed) was on that hard drive. So I basically lost hours and hours of work. I sent the harddrive off to see if the data can be recovered which I'm not sure why it wouldn't be, but the entire process is going to take around 2 weeks. Talk about being on pins and needles. Believe me, no one is more pissed about this than I am since I had the next 3 videos almost ready to post.
This entire ordeal has left me a bit unmotivated to say the least, but I know it's been awhile since I did a review, so I'm gonna do my best to get something out to you guys by the end of the week.
In the meantime, please hope and pray for the best and because my next review was gonna be something great.

New episode of IG NEO is up. Be sure to check it out. Give me a few more days on the next Irate Gamer review. It’s almost done but it needs a lot of brushing up still. In the meantime I will be posting a few movie reviews to the youtube channel for your viewing pleasure. And I should have a poster up for the next episode any day now. Just waiting on my animation guy.

 I’ve been hard at work on the next review. Tons of prep work for this one and you should enjoy it. I apologize for the lack of updates and thank you for being patient while I get my life in order. It’s been a long road traveled this year for sure.
I will be updating the website soon because I haven’t had a chance to add all the fan submitted stuff, and fix broken links in a while.

Well I just got back from E3 in Los Angeles and it was incredible! I got to play just about every cool upcoming video game being released this year and I got to meet a lot of fans as well. I even got access to a few games that were behind high security areas reserved only for the top brass in the Gaming world. So I will be covering all that and more all next week on my youtube channel! So stay tuned.
Also be sure to check out Gottgame for a few exclusive interviews I conducted for the site as well as other E3 news! There should be new content just about everyday.

The first episode of the “History of Video Games” is Here. This will be a long series that will span many episodes. I’m very proud of this episode and I can’t begin to tell you the amount of fact checking and rewriting that went into this episode to make this one shine. I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor

I apologize for the lack of updates. I have been super busy these last few weeks. I wanted to get at least 2 videos out by now but certain circumstances in my personal life have kinda gotten in the way of things. You know how that goes sometimes.  But just to reassure everyone, I am very close to getting the next episode finished. This episode has gone through at least a dozen script rewrites (another reason why it’s taking so long) and when you see it, you might understand why. It’s been a struggle to pull this one together and make it interesting. and I might have a big announcement when it comes out as well, but we’ll see. Thanks for being patient.
And yes, to answer the hundreds of emails I’ve been getting, I’m still working on the Vol 2 dvd and it’s still along way off.  Sorry, but the wait will be worth it. I’ve been filming stuff especially for this release.  I’ve got tons of fan art to upload as well, I’ll get to it all soon

A new episode of “Irate gamer NEO” is now uploaded!
Sonic Unleashed!

03-21-09
Well I got back recently from a well deserved vacation and I’ve been back and hard at work. Also I’ve begun doing some pre production work on the next Irate gamer episode which should prove very interesting if I can pull this one off.
I’ve also been working on a special Irate Gamer project that will be coming down the pike very soon that many people will really enjoy so stay tuned!
2009 will be an exciting year for all the fans!  

03-04-09
 I’ve actually been spending a lot of my time working on the upcoming DD release of Volume 2 and I’ve been in the process of remastering the episodes for this release. The DVD will contain the episodes 12-20, and tons of special features. So be patient.

02-15-09
The New episode is up!!!
A special thanks to Dat Boi Drew for the Amazing Aladdin Poster artwork. He’ll be working on some future projects for the Irate Gamer show. Thanks for all your hard work Andrew!

02-11-09
Just letting everyone know that the new episode should be up within the next few days. Someone is working on some CGI fx’s for me and now I’m just waiting to get the finished product which will be any day now and I can wrap up production.
Also I know I said that this would be a double length episode, but I ended up cutting a few things out that really are a bit pointless so that is bringing the running time to around 12 minutes or so. This is a really good episode though. 2 months in the making!

01-28-09
Giveaway!
For the next 7 days, I’ll be giving away free t-shirts and DVD’s. But I’m only giving them away to people who are subscribed to my channel so if you aren’t subscribed, make sure you do if you want the chance to be picked. I’ll most likely be doing more of this stuff in the future as well.
The first winner of 1/27 has been picked and notified. I will post the names of the winners here as I get them. 
Also the fanart section has been updated with new pictures. I think I got just about everybody’s stuff uploaded so far. Also the review is almost finished. Just got a lot of tweaking to do.

01-21-09
First off, thankyou to everyone who sent in a sprite of myself. I got a lot of them and it took me awhile to sift through all of them, but I think I found one I can use. Be sure to catch the next episode to figure out how this will be used. Also the next review is coming along nicely and I should have a trailer up soon.
To hold you over though, I put together a quick video of
the top 5 worst video game movies
Also, someone sent me some custom made 8-bit music a couple months back and I lost their name. Please email me your name if you sent me 8bit music

01-11-09
Hello all, I’ve been hard at work on the new episode and I’ve been spending a lot of time in the editing room on this one and sometimes it feels like I’m getting nowhere fast, haha.  But please be patient, a lot of special effects and green screening is required for this episode so I hope it won’t disappoint. Expect to see it soon.
Also if anyone has the time and the ability, I’m looking for someone to create a small Nintendo sprite character of myself in a running stance. Also it must be about the size of a normal sized NES character. If anyone can help out with this project, please email me

01-05-09
Well it’s 2009 and it’s the first time I’ve actually had time to breath since I’ve been so busy. People have been asking me what the next episode will be so here’s a sneak peak. Let the speculations begin!
