![]() Later on, he would also use title cards drawn by Danniku.īesides Killer 7, BGG's most notable reviews are the Evil Dead games of Hail to King, A Fistful of Boomstick, and Regeneration, which were revisited and covered more in depth in 2012 while dealing with an evil version of himself ala Army of Darkness that first appeared in the original Hail to the King review. The series debuted with Killer 7 in 2011 - which was also the first time BGG used title cards drawn by TigerUchimaru. This is BGG's main current review show in which he showcases games that are often called or can be considered "black sheeps." These include games that are a part of a series (spinoff or not) that are different from the rest somewhat obscure games (which BGG tended to review anyway), or games that are just different on their own. Some of these games were also done for Zeromaster's 16-Bit Winter let's play events. The series comes in three variations: recording games with live commentary with his brother in the form of "We Feel Like Playing" "I Feel Like Trying" in which BGG plays through game demos with post commentates and the default "I Feel Like Playing" with play throughs of entire games with post-commentary. BGG returned to LPing in 2011 with the debut of "I Feel Like Playing" - titled similarily to SCXCR's "I Wanna Play" - with Jurassic Park for the Sega CD. While BGG did attempt a blind let's play (entitled "let's suck") of Megaman X in his early days, it was never finished and eventually deleted. BGG still occasionally makes these now and then. The first two videos were also titled "Bite sized reviews", but the title was changed to "Byte" with the Breakdown video. While they are mostly short videos with a joke about the game, BGG does explain the game with text/voice at the end, giving the game a proper "review" - albeit a very brief one. In late 2009, Blondeguygamer made a short video review of Phantasy Star similar to Doug Walker's "In Five Seconds" movie videos. the Gameboy Camera P.N.03 Illbleed, and three Sega CD FMV games - the last of the FMV games ending with a parody skit starring several other RCG members. Following that are reviews of the Nintendo E-Reader a follow-up silent film parody review of Drakken Eternal Darkness (which won a reviewing contest Angelhalo hosted) Evil Dead A Fistful of Boomstick and Hail to the King Sword of Sodan on the Genesis a "BGG Quick Review" of M.U.S.H.A. To this day, the oldest publicly viewed review is the only remaining NES Quick Review of Pinball Quest. ![]() II (the latter of which stirred up some controversy among fans that saw it) These reviews included NES game reviews titled "NES Quick Reviews" - a take on WizWar100's "NES Quickies" - a silent film parody review of The Castlevania Adventure, and "Impression" reviews of Perfect Dark for the Game Boy Color and Xenosaga Ep. BGG felt the quality of those reviews were too low to represent his current quality. In fact, reviews from 2007 to early 2009 were unlisted after ChipCheezumSA made a commentary riff on BGG's original 2008 Evil Dead Regeneration review. But much like SCXCR, Blondeguygamer doesn't favor his older reviews much. While most older reviews were technically not titled as a show and were just listed as standard reviews, BGG still tried to bring something new to the table by reviewing games that aren't as well known. Since then, BGG has made gradual changes in presentation and recording equipment, but still retains his informative-with-occasional-jokes style when talking about games covering various platforms and genres. Later that same year, BGG made his first fully scripted review with Rez HD, having narration be mostly impromptu in previous reviews. BGG stopped using emulators to record footage in 2008, with the last reviews using emulators being Biohazard Battle and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (with the exception of Okamiden on the DS in 2013). ![]() However, not content to stick with just expressing negative views on games, BGG tried alternating styles with a more positive look at Hagane - also on the SNES - after being inspired by WizWar100's quick review of it.Īfter Alien3 for the SNES, BGG decided to purchase a Dazzle USB video capture device (that is still being used) to cover more modern games, with the first being Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. He gained a surprising amount of views and, unsurprisingly, criticism for his complaints on the game. At the time, BGG simply just used an emulator and a headset microphone to narrate over played back footage. The first game he reviewed was Toy Story for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. He decided to stick with a simplistic online name/persona that reflected himself and his tongue-in-cheek nature. ![]() 2.6 North American Tales of Retrospectiveīlondeguygamer started out with reviewing games in late 2007, after being inspired by other game reviewers to talk about and showcase various video games.
