Video Games Awesome.
If I understand correctly the endless phonemical repetitions spraying with spittle from his rubber-lipped word hole, Stuttering Craig over at Screw Attack wants me to call your attention to their newest series, Awesome Video Games. And I will, fully admitting my own lack of tolerance for doofuses — no matter how ironically portrayed — screaming in close-up into the camera for five minutes straight about the amazing megahertzal might of the NES.
But there's a lot of good here... in particular, the Awesome Video Games animation of a Marioesque doppelganger being chased around by a toothy iguana. I love that, and the way the electronic voice burbles, "AWESOME. VIDEO. GAMES. VIDEO. GAMES. AWESOME." And I get a kick out of the reverse anachronism of the series. Why is there a poster of Robert Matthew Van Winkle on the back wall on a show that purports to "preview" such hot new games as Super Mario Brothers? Who knows. But if this was really filmed in 1984, they'd be better off having a poster of Vanilla Ice's alcohol-saturated embryo on the back wall.
I kid, I kid. It's grating, but Awesome Video Games is funny.
