    Man, AVGN wasn't exaggerating.
    VideoArt didn't even function at the time.

    It's easy to forget that Ebert was so much shorter than Siskel. It's rare to see them standing next to eachother. Usually they were sitting down in the balcony.

      NotSnarl By today’s standards, Ebert does not even “read” as fat. Regardless, I really hate personal remarks about public or private individuals. I’d rather focus on the immense talent, professionalism, and joie de vivre each man brought to us all. I miss them so much!

      @charlesdjones1 2 года назад +4

      Definitely was not I, most 80s kids probably didn't care very about 50s and 60s culture.

    Video Art really was the worst shit. It gave you intricate pictures to color, only to taunt you, because you could only draw straight lines with the most unresponsive controller ever.

    • @patrickshields5251

      Siskel & Ebert were equally frustrated with Video Art as AVGN was.

    Not Barbie deliver World Peace with a rock concert in outer space is absolutely ridiculous, you're right there, Gene

    "he's a little bear...and a little bore"
    That's exactly what I thought of Teddy Ruxpin when I was a kid.

    40:15 Lady Lovelylock: I'm heading towards to my friends for a picnic, would you like to join us?
    Kid: Thank You lady, but I have to get home for dinner!
    Gene: That's great, I'm too busy to enter the Adventure, I got to get home!
    That's why I've got the tape so I can go home, right?!? 40:22

    Lady Lovely Locks was pre- Swan Princess.

    It's interesting that Shokus has apparently survived to the present day, what with the internet, piracy and people posting all sorts of old tapes online.

    That pixel vision camera is weird! I've heard of computers using audio cassette tapes for games and programs but using a cassette tape for a video camera? That's pretty impressive

    • @figment1988
      @figment1988 7 лет назад +4

      for it's time, it was definitely a great gimmick, and to this day, people still use the PXL-2000 for Independent videos.

    P.S.: In Fact Lady Lovely Locks was much Miles better than The Problem Solverz and Teen Titans GO! combined.

      I remember being a kid and convincing my parents to buy Batman on DVD for like £20, over here in the UK. That would have been like '99 I think.

    • @acholl980
      @acholl980 2 года назад

      Yep, Back then tapes were sold to rental stores at high prices before studios realized they could sell them to consumers for less and make bigger profit.
