I play it to have fun and only get upset when people make fun of me for not winning, otherwise I don't really care..! But I remember back in Mario Kart Wii, I played online and was in the same group for 20 or so turns so we became friends kind of without being able to communicate. So I lost all the time, and suddenly the others felt sorry for me, so they all stopped by the finish line so I'd cross it first ^^

Fun fact, apparently George used to host a public access game show called “who wants to see my derrière” The prize for winning is that George shows them his butt, I wish that was a joke
Imagine a world if George reviewed Minecraft or something: "It's a blocky survival game where you punch things to get blocks. But we couldn't survive one night because monsters attacked, and we didn't know how to make things. We tried to find cheat codes, but there aren't any. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone."
You missed my favorite one. They reviewed that awful Rascal game and the dude says "The game's dorky pre-teen character is about as easy to control as it is to keep the titanic from sinking." incredible.
@@CeHee123 except the titanic would've actually been fairly easy to avoid sinking, had the crew actually been paying attention to where they were going/didn't think their ship was immortal. A little care and they wouldn't've sunk the boat.
@@Mini_Squatch didn't they say in the movie that it had shitty rudders so they couldn't avoid the thing time? although this is the same movie where two people can't float on a door and a man pinwheels of propellers. Honestly in some ways it seems like they were still not properly adapted for boats of that size yet and not properly respecting the challenges of it because of how fast they were growing in such a short span.
I learned something interesting about the show where the reviews come from. Flights of Fantasy wasn't meant to be a video game show. It was originally about comic book, with TV shows, movies and games meant to pass time. It switched to video games due to the speculator boom in the 90's that led to the comic book crash. That explains why he says such weird crap in his reviews, he was a comic book guy.
@@ThatOneMan830 From the clip I’ve seen, he seemed more knowledgeable about comics than games. He claims to have a collection of over tens of thousands of comics.
You know George sounds like he's being sarcastic the whole time. Is that just how some people talk or.. If it is no offense to anyone I have trouble with flat voice myself
Well, at least he beat crash 2 (It's easy AF, heck I can complete the OG crash 2 anytime since levels are short, unlike in crash about time, and relics weren't a thing XD) Obviously, if he saw what he had done, he'd madly CRINGE harder than Caddy
I genuinely can't believe the audacity Georgie has to say a game is easy while simultaneously admitting he had to use cheats to get past the first stage and not seeing how those things may contradict each other. It's like he just says words without ever funneling them through his brain first.
I feel like he knows nothing about video games and assumes that putting in codes to get to the end of games, or using the game manual to solve puzzles like in Resident Evil, are all part of playing the games 🤦♂️
@@holeofdarnthat actually makes a lot of sense, also George doesn't seem to use the proper words to explain certain things when describing how a game feels or plays. That's why I'm wondering if there's something off about him, or he's reading a script written by an 11 year old
Little did you know, George doesn't actually exist. This was actually a failed attempt at early AI that was eventually abandoned. It was called Project GeorgAI PorgAI.
The full line at 20:50 is amazing. "Donkey Kong Country is truly perfect. If you do not get this new generation of Donkey Kong madness, YOU ARE STUPID. Yes, I know it's insulting, but it's also true."
I don't know why but i feel like he is too good for his own good, even when he genuinely is being offensive, i feel no sense of threat from him... Is he canadian?
At the rate AI is going, this is more like if you purposefully limited an AI to create humurous reviews, because now AI would just create a review indistinguishable from Avgn.
What would this man's reviews look like today?... "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has a cool sword, but it's impossible to beat without cheats. With no passwords, there's no way I can save the black haired princess! Also, we died more than twice, so the title makes no sense at all."
"apparently I can't just block things with my sword normally without it failing. SO MUCH FOR REALISM. This game is absolutely impossible, except for the easy parts, which are plentiful, but I couldn't get past the first five minutes of the game." Difficulty: C
But like, this was the 90s, where all we really had were bulky tape things to record our voddy gammes. Maybe they were able to project the virtual boy screen onto a TV and taped it from there? Isn't that a hoot
Funny Fact: The theme to "Gaming in the Clinton Years" is an anachronism, because it is from the NES version of Shadowgate. (Named Castle Room 3) A game released in 1989...when Clinton wasn't president.
33:30 That's actually something you wanna avoid in game design, game designer's purposely want to make the controls feel natural so you don't have to think about it because it's way more immersive that way
George wasn't reading a script. His deranged personality let slip the dogs of war, and we glimpsed momentarily at the beast that dwells within his heart.
I'm an impatient zoomer and even I beat OG RE1 without much issue. RE1 isn't hard, it's a cakewalk compared to Silent Hill. Hell, I actually think REmake is harder than OG RE1 because Crimson Heads can get fucked.
In 20 years i'll take every "no context Caddy" clips, duplicate them and upload them on RUclips, i'll call it "Gaming in the trump years". Its gonna be perfect
George’s opinion constantly shifting around and how he keeps saying “we” tells me that I think he just asked like, a half dozen people their opinion on a game, writes it down, then instead of taking all of the information and forming a cohesive opinion from both sides, he just reads it off verbatim. With no rhyme or reason.
@@MrFutago87 Lol I had the same thought, he may have asked God, his dead father, Hitler, and his evil twin, but I can't imagine him talking with other real people. He just seems...too "off" for human conversation in my imagination.
He mentioned that he only has one N64 controller in the Goldeneye review so he couldn't do the multiplayer, which is...like...how are you a game reviewer if you don't have a second controller?
Looking into it, I'm pretty sure George was just the host of the show. He never actually played the games and almost completely improvised all his reviews while watching the gameplay footage someone else on his staff recorded.
Doesn't change the fact that a lot of his takes on these games sound like a psychotic old man discovering technology for the first time when his car was powered by actual horses.
As a former resident of the Northern VA/DC/Maryland area, I actually do know what he's going on about in that rant about the Baltimore Orioles' stadium, but it's still hilarious that he gets so worked up about it.
My theory: George was a satirist ripping incompetent journalists a new one. EDIT: Some updates. Apparently, Flights of Fantasy was a COMIC BOOK SHOW first and foremost, which explains why he wasn't very good at video games. As well, I have formulated a theory. I think that somebody else played the video games for the footage and George just riffed over them.
“The legend of Zelda, not as good as the original for some unknown reason” I wish I had the creativity to make this shit up I’ve been laughing for 15 minutes
@@mrummgoat53 this games would have been tapes for home computers. Tapes are alot cheaper to produce than the cartridges used by systems that were more popular in America than Europe.
"Legend of Zelda, not as good as the original for some reason." For SOME REASON? You are a reviewer! It's supposed to be your JOB to give the REASON! What in the nine hells is this!?
To be fair he did say "Some UNKNOWN reason...." I guess the reason was too much for our tiny mortal brains. We're not the mighty being George after all...
His first problem was saying A Link to the Past (which he apparently refused to identify given the clip) is worse than Zelda 1. I don't think there is a soul on this planet of over seven billion people that will tell you Zelda 1 ever beats ALttP.
@@UltimaKeyMaster There actually are quite a few people who prefer Zelda 1 to ALttP because it's more open-ended, and they think that ALttP is too easy and linear. I disagree, but that's an actual argument you can make. Not this "some unknown reason" BS :D
Only this time, he doesn’t just complain about how hard the games are, but actively tells the viewers how to cheat at them. I guess the show’s good for that, at least; I love cheat codes. Hell, even nowadays I use a lot of cheat codes in games like Spore and Minecraft to mess around or do things I know I can do already, but require tedium I don’t have time for otherwise.
Same here, some early YT, and random clips online. I think the first time I heard about it was on the old ScrewAttack website when they use to host the videos.
"That's basically the same jump as filming with a potato, to filming with a peeled potato" Probably my favorite joke in this whole video. Absolutely incredible.
...That said even with the twist I do recommend Illusion of Gaia a lot. He wasn't wrong when saying the story was actually brilliant. Even knowing the twist, it's a very engrossing game.
For anyone curious about the story behind the ARG. In 2006 NAVGTR posted a statement on their site that George wood had died, then in 2013, 9 years later, they private all their vids and posted a arg, which is why George says "im not dead." In the vid. But after backlash from fans they eventually canceled the arg. I don't know if it's finished but I do know the rest.
Fun Fact: George Wood has his own Twitter. And all of his Twitter posts are outlandish...on purpose. No connection to other tweets nor game links. Just tweets about certain games or just bizarre stuff like him saying this: *"Use two pigs in your endeavors."* 🤣 *And he's still active today.* 😂
19:21 "If there's one thing I love about watching my favourite game reviews, it's when the reviewer is trying to talk to me, but the music in the game is screaming at me at the same time. I don't know about you guys, but it makes me wanna take one of these little things right here, and push it right in further than the recommended amount."
I actually kind of like listening to George ramble about stadium names. It gives off the air of "someone who very much loves the thing they're talking about and will chat your ear off about it if given the right opportunity."
"We don't like South Park, but we do like Resident Evil 2" Okay, I can understand people who don't like South Park because of the jokes in the show, but come on, you can't compare an animated comedy tv show to a dark and gritty realistic survival horror game. They're not even the same media format!
“Create a story line where Lara gets breast cancer.” - George Wood Edit: WOW I never thought in my life I’d ever get a thousand likes on a comment thank you.
Watching this made me realise a slither of respect for Phil. He plays the games. His reviews are equally contradictory and useless, but he plays them. Mostly without cheats, too.
@@SynGirl32 Well you just heard that quite clearly there first folks who read this other than Xavier. DarksidePhil (A Seixist, Racist, Misogynistic Whiny Man Child Who Barely Edits His Videos And Is A Massive Hypocrite In Every Sense Of The Word) is actually better at playing games than this professional internet reviewer journalist...................... "Sighs" Just please let that sink in for a while................
@@SynGirl32 - Yeah. Like I can get being determined to win a game but if you’re clearly not having fun with it then you need to stop playing it and DSP does get that. He may be a jerk but he gets that the most important thing with games is having fun. That’s why I keep play Cuphead despite constantly failing at it. I still have fun. If a game doesn’t entertain me then it’s not worth playing more of. (hi Rise Of Lyric)
Fun fact: In the US, we'll sometimes refer to presidents rather than years or decades, although it's quite rare. For example, the name "Gaming in the Clinton Years" means "gaming from 1993 to 2001". I've mostly heard it when people are referring to something being outdated ("'_____'? You mean that thing from the Bush administration?") or an event (Nixon's presidency is synonymous for a lot of people with the Vietnam War and the start of the War On Drugs). Edit: Made it clear that this is in no way a common thing, and I've only heard it said a few times. Edit 2: It's a lot like how the UK uses "Victorian Era", except it refers to a much shorter period of time.
It's a result of changing leadership so often, every 4-8 years the entire culture of America can be drastically different. It helps to encapsulate the state of the country similar to decades. "The Clinton Years" technically means "The Late Nineties," but it has a different cultural connotation
@@Funtermore it's just a funnier way of calling something old now, i guess. "from the nixon administration" is just a funnier thing to say than "wow that thing is x years old" (im too lazy to look up when nixon was president)
I watched a lot of Retsupurae when they were more active, and they tore GITCY a new one quite a number of times. It's been riffed on for so long that I'm nostalgic for the riffing.

I WANT TO NOMINATE THIS AWARD TO MY REFORMED ORTHODOX RABBI BILL CLINTON
Gitcy couldn't get the energy drink sponsorship for The Game Awards so they had to do some ambush marketing.
Wow. What a beautiful line. We are truly gaming in the clinton years.
George’s opinion constantly shifting around and how he keeps saying “we” tells me that I think he just asked like, a half dozen people their opinion on a game, writes it down, then instead of taking all of the information and forming a cohesive opinion from both sides, he just reads it off verbatim. With no rhyme or reason.
And all those people with different opinions are in his head.
@@MrFutago87 Lol I had the same thought, he may have asked God, his dead father, Hitler, and his evil twin, but I can't imagine him talking with other real people. He just seems...too "off" for human conversation in my imagination.
This sounds totally accurate.
He mentioned that he only has one N64 controller in the Goldeneye review so he couldn't do the multiplayer, which is...like...how are you a game reviewer if you don't have a second controller?
George Hivemind?
Looking into it, I'm pretty sure George was just the host of the show.
He never actually played the games and almost completely improvised all his reviews while watching the gameplay footage someone else on his staff recorded.
That would be understandable... but it's still weird that he both praises and facepalms at still image endings.
Still...kinda bad.....
Doesn't change the fact that a lot of his takes on these games sound like a psychotic old man discovering technology for the first time when his car was powered by actual horses.
I think this was a satire program. He sounds so flat half the time I'm convinced he's being sarcastic
Well, you don't improvise a game review by seeing someone play. You didn't play it? Well don't review it!

My theory: George was a satirist ripping incompetent journalists a new one.
EDIT: Some updates.
Apparently, Flights of Fantasy was a COMIC BOOK SHOW first and foremost, which explains why he wasn't very good at video games.
As well, I have formulated a theory. I think that somebody else played the video games for the footage and George just riffed over them.
You're not really ripping on anyone when you're terrible at satire.

Fun fact: In the US, we'll sometimes refer to presidents rather than years or decades, although it's quite rare. For example, the name "Gaming in the Clinton Years" means "gaming from 1993 to 2001". I've mostly heard it when people are referring to something being outdated ("'_____'? You mean that thing from the Bush administration?") or an event (Nixon's presidency is synonymous for a lot of people with the Vietnam War and the start of the War On Drugs).
Edit: Made it clear that this is in no way a common thing, and I've only heard it said a few times.
Edit 2: It's a lot like how the UK uses "Victorian Era", except it refers to a much shorter period of time.
...But why?.... well I guess I shouldn't asked too many questions, its the USA we're talking about here.
It's a result of changing leadership so often, every 4-8 years the entire culture of America can be drastically different. It helps to encapsulate the state of the country similar to decades. "The Clinton Years" technically means "The Late Nineties," but it has a different cultural connotation
