Why Sanji would win against Rock Lee on Death Battle?

Spoiler alert, the next episode for Death Battle is Sanji from One Piece vs. Rock Lee from Naruto. This was a community death battle topic. It also was a huge request from their fans. Honestly, as much I'm happy to see Sanji on their show. This is a horrible stomp in his favor that's not going to make a lot of people happy.

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, the upcoming episode of Death Battle is going to be Sanji vs. Rock Lee. Basically One Piece vs. Naruto theme episode. I will not be reviving prediction blogs. Instead I figured to be even more direct with my arguments. So I figured to showcase a lot of his feats in most categories to help give an idea how much of a mismatch this truly is.

Now it's time to directly show off my arguments.

Please look at all these feats before my actual arguments. From that point, you'll see how I am viewing this fight or at least I hope so.

All of this are from post time skip. I also needed it for further comparison reasons. Let's just say it quickly becomes mind blowing.

Now keep in mind, this isn't using any non canon feats. One Piece manga is still ongoing while Boruto also going on as well. Naruto manga ended a few years ago. I hate to say for a while, Rock Lee got pushed to the side for remainder of that manga series. I focus on feats that should counter most likely arguments someone going with Rock Lee could have.

Sanji constantly has proven to be strong enough to knocking giants off their feet. He also shown to be constantly fast as well. He may not look like but he's one of the smartest members of his crew without question. Sanji also an expert on stealth having to learned it from his child hood back in Germa Kingdom.

Even if Sanji doesn't use haki to increase his chances at winning. His Diable Sambe is capable of bypassing his opponent's durability. Now throw in his own armament haki into the mess, Sanji could easily break Rock Lee's blocks with ease. I shown proof that Sanji can use Observation Haki. This ability can see things easily miss or even invisible to people even in someone else's body.

I also proven that Sanji can tank some serious force himself. Even at one point, a device using the same force as his kick got used on his face. Sanji also can easily take the fight into the air greatly limiting what Rock Lee could do. Let's be honest, for someone whose about getting close. It is a horrible idea against a guy who can kick even giants and buildings.

Not to mention, Sanji also survived 10,000 meters depth in the ocean itself. He chose to move outside a bubble created to prove him and some of his allies from the water pressure. He was able to handle that pressure to a degree. This alone limits how much force could Rock Lee potentially use against him. Yes, he could use six of eight gates.

However that will come at the cost of his life. Especially when he opens one too many forcing his death to happen. Sanji also has strength feats that relates to lifting things like a massive wedding cake. For those that doesn't know huge cakes can weight a lot of pounds. Your standard big size cake can take a small group of people to carefully move it from point a to point b.

The other problem is cakes can easily break. So the fact Sanji was able to kick such a massive cake into the air without any notable damage in itself quite impressive. I know someone is going to bring up Rock Lee's destroying an meteorite. Sadly, that wasn't done just by him. Which can be tricky to determine how much force Rock Lee himself actually done to that meteorite.

Rock Lee himself lacks much usage of chakra in ways most shinobis can. Which does greatly affect his overall potential. Now before torches comes out, Rock Lee does technically have a leg up in terms of being more trained in hand to hand combat. Which actually came in handily for him a few times. But Rock Lee has no counter for Sanji's haki.

Let's be honest, Sanji can easily caught up to Rock Lee's weakness to quickly take advantage of it. Simply having two different ways that can be combined to increase damage while bypassing durability is a huge advantage. Rock Lee has to rely on jumping constantly in hopes to try getting close to Sanji. The problem is Sanji also can attack from a distance including from the air.

Which would make Rock Lee's chance of doing anything serious slim to none. Sanji also comes from a scientist background in comparison to that of a shinobi for Rock Lee. This chef has shown his intelligence from time to time in ways you wouldn't expect. Sadly, Rock Lee isn't very bright to begin with.

Sanji also can attack from under the water too. Which would make a water battle another bad idea for Rock Lee. Not to mention, Sanji can also jump similar to moving in the air while under the water. Obviously, making Sanji a lot faster under the water in comparison. We haven't even talked about his raid suit yet.

Haki can be use to track fast moving opponents even if they're invisible. Even without knowing how to use haki, Sanji defeated an invisible man before. Sanji's raid suit turns him invisible, I listed a feat showcasing it. Believe it or not, Sanji was also trained for stealth missions at a young age. He quickly got to Luffy while he escaped from the mirror world to avoid an ambush waiting for his captain.

This cause confusion how did they not get Luffy? Keep in mind, Luffy was wore out from fighting sweet general Katakuri that took hours. I am saying Sanji actually better at stealth which is a more common trait of a ninja. Sanji once used knives against a chef as if they were swords. Which confirmed Sanji was also trained to use weapons.

The more I look at this particular fight, the more obvious Rock Lee is in trouble. There isn't much he could do to someone like Sanji. In fact, Sanji had much more character development in his story. Which is likely due to the author of Naruto trying to end Naruto manga series. I should also point out, Rock Lee doesn't use weapons much either making his style of combat even worse here.

I know someone is likely going to disagree with me. Sadly, fight debates are something that doesn't necessary have proper endings. But that doesn't stop shows like Death Battle from doing em. Even if they're massive stomps like this one. My point is no matter what Rock Lee does, Sanji can end the fight at any given time he wants.

Criticisms about The Angry Video Game Nerd in Tower of Torment: The Final Chapter

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, this is a post I don't think anyone should or needs to make. But I looked at a lot of comments saying stuff like "Give us AVGN 3 or The bonus game isn't AVGN 3." I am here to defend this bonus game. Honestly, people still saying stuff like that after watching they're making of video are selfish pricks.

Yes, this is one world with four levels. But they explained the reasons behind it's creation. Also, a lot of you aren't even realizing the amount of work went into recreating two games here. Which had to include some important changes. Not because they wanted to differ it from the previous releases. No because they were necessary changes to further connected all the games together.

As I said in my own review of AVGN I & II Deluxe, they shown creative in this bonus game. The simple fact, one of the stages has a huge truck going back & forward often through out the stage. Let's be honest, this alone is very frustrating to pull off. I felt the joke was well executed with a proper level of challenge. The third stage allowed you to go in a loop as some older games had done.

The first stage is one of the best first stages I played in a long time. The boss stage is absolutely perfection. I don't have a single criticism for it at all, I loved every minute of it. The title of this does have The Final Chapter. Which means it's meant to be the last one unless they decided to make another one. If they do end up continuing & it's not a reboot, the joke is clearly Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.

The songs in those stages are amazing guys. I felt it didn't need to be longer than it actually is. It kinda upsets me to hear you want a more "proper" AVGN 3 game. The next one if we ever get one is going to be AVGN 4 like it or not. For a bonus game, it left a major impact on me. I even felt some of the funniest jokes yet are in this.

I do agree with their decision to make this bonus game to help make their fans happy. Sure, a lot of us wouldn't mine getting newer versions of games we already have. But at the same time, we still want something regardless. In this case, those people simply didn't care about the bonus game at all. They went out of their way to making this bonus game for your entertainment.

It is quite upsetting those saying stuff like that have no respect. Also, a lot of people aren't necessary good at these games anyway. I felt this was a smart move to making those people happy. Some price aren't happy you'll pay fifteen bucks for this compilation. Technically speaking, each five dollars in that purchase is for each game included.

Do you even care they finally bring in a parody of Bugs Bunny? Obviously, we all knew eventually this was going to happen. I really waited patiently for this myself since Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle episode is my favorite. I honestly felt like the wait was well worth it. These stages will test you in ways you would expect from the last couple stages.

The trailers and a particular line from the boss stage confirmed the bonus game is in fact AVGN 3. So what it isn't many stages? I felt it was surprisingly well balanced, creative and unique at it's very core. Some of you come off as if you're being rip off. No if they were ripping you off, you wouldn't get all of this together.

It likely would've been each stage being dlcs that isn't bundle together. Now that's ripping people off, last I checked Freakzone Games doesn't do that. I am glad The Nostalgia Critic is no longer in AVGN II. His entire usage of the character came more off like their composite videos than an actual story line. He simply did not belong in an AVGN game, sorry some of you don't want to hear it.

AVGN 3 is short because if it was any longer. The game would quickly over stay it's welcome. What I mean by this is adding more to what we already have would take away from it altogether. Just imagine, we had two additional stages making it six in total. It just wouldn't work as well as just having four stages here.

Why because it's four very different stages that do stand out in their own right. Adding anymore craziness to it wouldn't work nearly as well. The stupidest thing I heard was someone actually refunded the game over. I kid you not this is one of the stupidest reasons to refund any game I ever heard. Are you ready for it?

Well because I'm not lol, he requested a refund due to the game over quotes being removed. WOW, I know I could've left that off but it was so amazingly stupid I couldn't. Now if another AVGN game happens, they could play on sequel titles confusion jokes. Honestly, I am happy with I gotten from them.

Some people thought the bonus game was going to be more than it actually is. Oh ok that's a fair statement. But this bonus game was a great way to tie it all together. Yes, most of the story was in the boss stage. What I think happened is shortly after AVGN II. Some point while The Nerd was passed out on the ground.

He woke up hearing something going high up in the air like a rocket. But it turned out to be this flying castle instead. The Nerd decides he doesn't have anything to lose so he goes to check it out. They also could've play on using your imagination to fill in the blanks joke. Sure, the collectibles aren't much in the bonus game.

They do make you work for em to make the process a bit longer. They easily could've done the first stage in a short game was too hard joke. Be thankful, it isn't designed that way. I don't think this third game needed to be much of anything. Yet it quickly blew my expectations fast. Also, if Freakzone Games makes another AVGN game.

They got plenty of options to delivering another ridiculous parody game. Sometimes, something so small leaves a bigger impact on people. Which is very likely what they were going for here. They given us something short, sweet and truly rememberable in it's own right. This bonus game deserves more reason than some of you are giving it.

Tips on how to get Totally Perfect Nerd achievement in AVGN I & II Deluxe

To clarify, I done all of it on one save Normal difficulty. Unless you are more hardcore to play harder difficulties of such games, I'm not the guy for that.

Warning, I may have to swear a little bit in this following blog post.

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, before I get to today's topic. I will quickly give a fast run down of AVGN I & II Deluxe's achievements. Most of them is finding particular things which does include cameos. Obviously three of them is simply beaten the games. Most of it is easy to get but one particular achievement will guarantee rage quitting.

Of course, I'm talking about Totally Perfect Nerd achievement. I just gotten this very achievement not long ago today. I am making this guide to help those who are struggling to get this frustrating achievement. Before I even get to what you need to hear. I need to point a few things out first to give you a better understanding what to expect here.

1. There isn't any real notification in Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures if you gotten perfect nerd after getting it

Basically what this means is unlike AVGN 2 and 3 respectively. You won't see anything to tell you if you gotten any of the stages perfect or not. I highly recommend just for the first AVGN game write up the list. Over time in any order, you need to get all of them perfect for this achievement. I chose to use part of a text file on my computer for that purpose.

2. Among doing the final stages, you have to watch the endings again

3. Both AVGN 2 & 3 has noticeably shorter stages

4. Yes you can take hits as long as it isn't anything instant death

5. Some bosses in AVGN 1 are more vulnerable to the other playable characters

6. Practice as much as possible on every stage you can

7. Also be prepare to die a lot and yes I do mean a lot it's a very punishing process

8. Easier difficulties has infinite lives with spikes replacing many death blocks

9. If you have every upgrade in AVGN 2, you'll have it for AVGN 3

10. Some bosses got replaced that may affect strategies going in

Now we got all of that covered let's get to tips how to get this challenging achievement. First off, I highly recommend you fully play all three AVGN games. Do not attempt to rush doing this process, it only leads to death. Second, I also recommend in both AVGN 2 & 3 to do perfect on the boss stages first.

Trust me, those stages are short as well as easy to memorize with some bosses being trickier than others. Only the first AVGN games has a few stages with more than one boss at a time. Mostly Blizzard of Balls and Boo! Haunted House respectively. It is very important you learn not only how to properly play as the characters or just The Nerd in the other games.

You also need to learn the mechanics to the best of your abilities. A handful across all three games will challenge your skills as well as your determination to get it done. Very likely going to be Boo! Haunted House, Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts, Virtual Insanity and What The Fuck?!. I recommend after doing all boss stages in AVGN 2 & 3.

You need to complete those difficult stages no matter what. This is actually the opposite to what I done. Now looking back on it, I likely would go for the difficult stages first. In the first AVGN game, some bosses are weaker to the other playable characters than The Nerd. I was surprised BS Man can dealt some serious damage even to Fred Fucks I'm not kidding.

Both AVGN 2 & 3 does have more health items in comparison to the original AVGN game. By playing it on easier difficulties. You'll have infinite lives as well as a lot of death blocks replaced by spiked balls. This is very helpful way of going about this particular achievement. Most replace boss fights are slightly different from those originally were in those games.

The biggest boss change was the Unicorn got replaced by The Bloodstained Bears. Also, no need to worry about how fast you're running through the stages. You can take your time as much as possible during this process. Both AVGN 2 & 3 respectively will have The Nerd icons turned to gold once they're completed with no deaths.

The goal as brutal as the process going to be is eventually play every stage through without dying. Sometimes knowing some secrets especially in the original game could come in handily later. I should point out one of the bosses in Boo! Haunted House got changed to now instant death if he touches you. Sadly, the best way to survive it is play as The Nerd with careful planning.

Fred Fucks at the end of the first game is made a bit easier. Do not expect he's going to be a push over for a final boss. I think the Big Rigs stage of AVGN 3 requires knowing how to properly process the stage while avoiding the truck. My best advice is knowing all the safe spots are within the stage. I would say the first AVGN game overall is the most difficult.

Don't think the four stages of AVGN 3 is going to be easy during this process because guess what they're aren't. A good number of stages you'll quickly get down. It's the more difficult stages is where you'll start to question how much do you want this achievement. I also recommend taking mental notes of what to expect especially those you can't quite figure out at that time.

I had a couple of those during this process myself. You will need to push yourself to get this achievement. There is absolutely no real short cuts to doing it. Every single stage must be completed with no deaths at all. The good news is you can retry as much as you want. You do not have to fully start over like some games do.

Most important, yes some stages do have short cuts. Some do come with a risk of death as a fair warning. Thankfully, it is obvious what you need to do within every stage. Even a handful where you need to collect keys to process. I also done the stages before the actual games got started perfected just to be sure.

I also recommend when getting upset for awhile doing this process. Please take a break, chances are you'll do better later on. Yes, some obstacles can be frustrating to navigate through as well. Honestly, largely most of it is platforming for the most part. Not much game play wise will change between the three games.

I should point out doing this purpose doesn't actually affect your 100% completion in all three games. I had most of the achievements. By that point, I had an 100% completion in all three AVGN games. I mention it just in case people were wondering if that counted towards it or not now you know. This achievement is easily the most challenging.

Now I don't have every achievement in the previous AVGN games. So I can't compare the most difficult achievements of those versions here. I can say this for sure a lot of planning is required to do this. Sometimes, you'll have to force yourself into bad situations in hopes you'll get further & not die. Honestly, it is a real challenge that will help transform you into frickin' tigers man.

Jack Red reviews Battletoads (2020)

 Special thanks goes to my brother, Eric who gave me this game. I been wanting this game for a few months now.

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, today I will be reviewing the new Battletoads game. I am not going to lie there's a lot to discuss here both good and not so great. To clarify, as much I may bash on this game I do really enjoy it. I would even say it's better than the NES game but it does come close to the arcade game. Keep in mind, this is a short lived franchise that got revived recently.

Like 2013 Killer Instinct game, a different team made this reboot. I still prefer Killer Instinct's for a lot of reasons. But it is still a fun yet unique experience. As you may expect they do throw a lot of game play styles right in your face. Some stages are mostly a series of mini games. There's a good number of boss fights.

I actually loved the artwork as a whole. The soundtrack is in all honesty very decent. The animations are pretty solid as well. The story is more what you would expect from an mid to late 90s cartoon show. It sorta reminds me of stuff like The Angry Beavers, CatDog, Ren & Stimpy and a few others. They actually made jokes about why it took them to return so long.

This does have some great jokes easily one of the funniest among Rare's video games. It still isn't as funny as Conker's Bad Fur Day perhaps. I will say it is still more strangely entertaining to watch in a few ways. Like the arcade game, you can play as any or all the battletoads at once. They also have a few more playable characters as well in some stages including the Dark Queen herself.

I was worried we waited a few years not hearing much about this reboot. As soon as they started talking about it again, I got excited. For those that doesn't know, Battletoads is a parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Which is strangely funny because TMNT itself is a parody of Marvel's Daredevil. Now go from Battletoads to AVGN II game, we have Battle Frogs.

Whom are both parodies of TMNT & Battletoads combined lol. Now that's strangely funny in a way that isn't easy to explain. Honestly, who really cares the simple fact they even took it a step further made it even more ridiculous. Back to Battletoads, they throw a lot of different game play styles to keep it interesting.

Some stages are beat em up style like some sections of the previous games. You also have more space shooter theme stages. The later entries did those types of stages. They also have a few mini game theme stages that are mostly fun well except one in particular. There's a few platforming stages that is unusual. This franchise as a whole is unusual so you know when I say it a different way something not quite right.

Pimple isn't allowed to attack anyone. Although, there actually no enemies on those stages. Instead you have to deal with avoid obstacles while puzzle solving. Which is obviously a parody of the more recent indie Metroidvania style games. Honestly, most of it is slower pace but refreshing in a way. Some puzzles are more confusing than others.

Some stages has you moving constantly forward. Two turbo bike theme stages as well as another stage you quickly need to press either X, Y or B. Yeah because those buttons represent different type of railing you need to switch out to continue the stage. But it is easy to get em confused or not realizing you're holding one or more buttons down to end up dying.

Later section of that stage, you need to quickly switch between railings while the big obstacle to your left is dangerously close. I am not going to lie, even including on easier difficulties having the option to become invulnerable. This game isn't balanced but parts of it are still a fun, enjoyable experience. It isn't too unbalanced to completely ruin the game unlike a couple I could name.

I actually liked the new cast they gotten for this game. To be honest, I wasn't too crazy for both Dark Queen & Zitz' new appearances at first. But overtime it kinda works, I understand why Dark Queen's outfit had to change. She originally looked like a vixen or some strippers whose appearance referenced Elvira.

Now, there's one particular stage I really didn't like. Although the concept of it on paper sounds interesting. It just felt rushed, forced and more of all unforgiving. The stage where you constantly need to reboot your ship's systems. The game does make a joke by pretending to give you one more round before ending.

I am fine with that joke but damn where to begin on this stage. At random, you are given a series of mini games that are all within your computer system. But it doesn't make which one you're currently doing often. Keep in mind, I'm playing on an easier difficulty here. I nearly rage quit on this particular stage alone.

You have to complete a set number of these mini games within a few rounds. It quickly gets frustrating fast with the confusion really not helping things. I believe the final round you need to do every mini game on that screen within a time limit. Each mini game has their own controls as well as their objectives.

If this isn't confusing enough, a handful of them aren't actually that bad. I don't like holding both trigger buttons a particular way. This quickly becomes a problem, I do see the point why they chose to do that mini game this way. This stage can go to the bottomless pit for all I care. Clearly, this is your game's take of a stress test.

Just imagine giving every new pilot a test that isn't flying a plane or a written test. Instead they must suffer trying to survive this mini game stage. Now sense would that make? I loved you can instantly revive your other playable characters. Although, it does determine which stages. Yes this is the key word alright.

In beat em up stages, a fallen battletoads has a small time limit before they can be used again. Thank god, they didn't use a life system here. In turbo bike stages, only check points brings em back. However, some stages works very differently. For space shooter stages, you just get full health among reaching check points.

Some boss fights can be a little too unforgiving. I do think most of them are done just right even with some surprises thrown in. The space shooter boss fight you basically face him twice. The first time is easy not much strategy at all. But his real boss fight quickly gets more challenging later on. If you ever played space shooters or those style games with projectiles covering most of the screen.

You aren't going to enjoy this boss very much. Surprisingly, I was able to beat him after a few attempts without using the invincible feature. I am very happy to have this feature with some sections of the later stages. You quickly need to work fast in some of those stages. I will say this game does have some fun achievements.

I think out of the ones I gotten prior to writing this review. My favorite achievement has to be getting through A Rock and A Hard Place stage without restarting. I got to be honest, this mini game stage was a lot of fun. Obviously since I already reviewed Streets of Rage 4. Not to mention, some people who reviewed both games compared the two.

Why shouldn't I do the same otherwise I would have to do it later. I do really enjoy both those games as a long time fan of beat em up games. Battletoads obviously wins in the humor department. Both of them do new interesting concepts for the most part worked. Great updated looks on all the playable characters.

Both games have an fantastic soundtracks with everything considered. I just felt out of respect, Streets of Rage 4 impressed me more. Not only it was a more balanced game. They went the extra mile with modes as well as having classic versions of several characters. You also can use an tazer on SOR arcade cabinets to do classic boss fights.

The simple fact it plays more on nostalgia that's done surprisingly well. More fun boss fights overall with better moves in comparison. I just felt SOR4 is hands down the better game. But don't take that the wrong way. Battletoads is a close second in recent years of those who attempted to bring back the beat em up genre.

I am even saying it is quite good in it's own right. Obviously, Battletoads took bigger risks in comparison that I highly do respect. Battletoads is a great return for these characters. I know a lot of reviewers aren't happy with this game, I do sorta see why. Honestly, I love stuff like this excuse me for being different lol.

I do liked there's a stage selection to make getting some achievements you missed easier to go for. Obviously, there's more stages than those of SOR4. I felt SOR4 is technically shorter of the two games. But you don't really notice stuff like this when you play em. I actually felt both games had a great few hours length campaigns.

I am glad they didn't over thought the number of them here. Battletoads is a rather unique experience that simply can't be fully explained in words. You got something truly different yet refreshing for most game play styles it covers. Honestly, I do like it challenges you to learn different controls through out the experience.

Yes even with one stage making it incredibly frustrating. I also liked the surprises they hid in some of the stages. Battletoads is a game that never was meant to be taken seriously. A slight chance AVGN games maybe somewhat been inspirations for this game is something I really would like to know. Overall, even with it's flaws I still say it is a solid entry within the Battletoads franchise.

Obviously Battletoads Arcade is still my favorite entry of all. My standards aren't dangerously unlike many reviewers out there. I would say the wait for me personally was well worth every minute of it. This game was indeed worth checking out late into 2020 without question. It won't be my choice for game of the year award but a solid recommendation sure why not lol.

Jack Red reviews Supernatural (show) 2005-2020

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, last night the series finale episode of the show Supernatural aired. This might come as a surprise, I wasn't a fan from day one. In fact, when I noticed the show a few years ago. It was during early season 12, which meant for a long period I had to get caught up. Thanks to both Netflix and The CW's website making that process a lot easier in the long run.

Supernatural was a long running horror, fantasy show about two brothers that traveled around the United States. These two face so many different creatures & gods. You literately can say anything you possibly could name, they already done it scenario. This was the last show to started on the previous channel that has since been The CW channel.

I should point out a few major spoilers are likely to show it's ugly head during my review. I recommend if you haven't fully watched every episode of this show do not read beyond this point.  You have been warned since I will touch up on many things. This is one of the very few horror shows to fit my vision of Halloween very well.

The closest thing I personally seen to Supernatural is The Twilight Zone. Both those horror shows really sick with you in many ways. Mostly the brothers did with demons & ghosts among many things through out the show. You get to see in many plain of existence as well as some of the parallel universes. Death is a small thing to a handful of characters.

I will be honest, there's only two angel characters I liked. Unlike, you count Jack whose a half breed of human and angel from his arch angel father Lucifer. There's only one demon in particular that everyone loves. Crowley is hands down the most interesting villain character they ever had. Yes, later on he becomes an alley to the brothers even going out of his way to sacrifice his own life to piss off Lucifer.

Back to my favorite two angel characters. Everyone loves Castiel, he is their biggest ally. Let's be honest a particular episode made it clear he was their best friend. The other one I will be honest I originally didn't like until more of him got revealed. Now, I think him one of the funniest characters. By now you should have some idea who I'm talking about.

The arch angel Gabriel whose the youngest of four arch angels. He even got tortured thanks to Loki as in the mischievous god himself for a few years. I think one thing I like about this show is they use creatures & gods you may never heard of prior to watching those episodes. Of course, at times they play some great songs the series finale being no exception to that.

Alright now we're heading into very big spoiler territory. If you chose to ignore my last warning. You still have one last chance to leave or be ready to have this blown right in your faces. Sadly, I can not wait for an eternity. Trust me, this is very mind blowing stuff I'm about to discuss right here in my own review of this show.

It turned out everything that has ever happened to anyone was all planned by God aka Chuck. Yes, all the ridiculousness these two brothers went through was all his doing. I do think a bit funny talking about the ending since we got it in two very different episodes. For those who already seen both episodes knows absolutely what I'm talking about.

The second to final episode, God really shows how much of a prick he truly is. He removes most life off the planet just to make em with Jack to suffer. He erases a poor, innocent dog out of existence right in front of Dean on purpose. Then, he goes out of his way to revive Lucifer of all people to help him. Keep in mind, if you haven't seen episodes with Lucifer.

The nicest but more direct way to describe this arch angel. Oh hell I'll just say it brutally honest style, he's very nasty, liar that feels like he can do anything & get away with it kind of person. This guy, really has a reputation to screw over people with absolutely no regard of their emotions at all. Michael with Adam whose body he currently possessing was secretly plotting to help his father.

Michael ended up with their help killing Lucifer making that his second death on the show. Keep in mind, the episode before this Billie was the second Grim Reaper got murdered by The Entity. The following episode, Lucifer killed a reaper named Betty to make her into the new Death. He later killed her while the death book for Chuck was opened.

This show went through three Deaths is pretty crazy alright. Oh yeah, the real craziness in that episode haven't get got started yet. The Windchesters came up with a plan that shouldn't have worked as well it did. Michael did later betray them to only get directly killed by God himself. Now God was going to quickly kill Sam & Dean but chose to beat em up instead.

It turned out due to the previous fail kill attempt that did kill Jack temporary left an side effect. Where he was absorbing energy including the deaths of both Michael & Lucifer. So when God was beating those two up the entire time, Jack was getting a lot of God's power. He chose to steal what's left of his power to become the new God.

This particular episode felt like a true final episode in terms of this show. But the actual final episode had a more emotional end to the story following that. Dean died during taking out a small nest for vampires. This included an old friend of theirs way back from season 1. Sam ended up living up to old age with a son.

I will be honest, watching Sam dying for the last time was pretty emotional for me. I actually cried tears of joy for many reasons. The Windchesters had a lot of friends and those they call family long on the way. There's so many different story styles that it's difficult to list them all in place. There's stuff that happens that you wouldn't believe happens on this show.

This is one of those must watch on Halloween shows without questions. You could do marathons of many creatures or even god theme episodes. Honestly, these two guys has literately been through the worst of most situations imaginable. There's so much stuff to cover, I would be here for months to fully discuss it all.

This show already went through a few apocalypses. Yes as in the end of days, apocalypse. They got to meet some of the rarest beings in existence as well. Both characters have became creatures to some degree in the past. Supernatural is a show filled with many surprises to keep you busy. I personally don't think there ever be another show like this on TV or web show wise.

Jack Red reviews Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, I think it's time to review more games off of Sega Genesis Mini. I just made sure if I reviewed them before but nope I haven't. Now I haven't finished Castle of Illusion remake neither played the 8bit versions. I also haven't played Land of Illusion & Legend of Illusion which are the final two games of the series.

I will be Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion on Sega Genesis. You're getting two Mickey Mouse game reviews in one. Oh wait, World of Illusion also has Donald Duck I guess I shouldn't quack at it. I will start with Castle of Illusion for a few reasons. It was the first entry in Illusion series. It also the first game of that series I played a long time ago.

I didn't get to play World of Illusion until I gotten an Sega Genesis Mini, a long time I know. Both games are classic platformers that heavily centers around Mickey Mouse. World of Illusion has a more interesting view of illusions as well as using magic in some areas. Let's be honest, both these games looks & sounds absolutely amazing that still holds up incredibly well.

World of Illusion can be played coop of two players. But as one player you can choose who you want to be. Some parts of the stages have paths strictly for a particular character. All paths leads to the bosses respectively. Castle of Illusion has some clever stage designs. I actually prefer Castle of Illusion bosses more.

I kinda felt World of Illusion is much easier in comparison. But a few mechanics will get you killed if you aren't careful. Castle of Illusion is more about Mickey rescuing Minnie from a witch. In World of Illusion, both characters wants to stop Pete the Great. It is easier to memorize majority both games. Castle of Illusion also gives you two ways to defend yourself from enemies.

Both games aren't very lengthy. I felt Disney & Sega did amazing job with both games. The animations are still quite good. I felt Mickey was more fun in Castle of Illusion. Both games are very straight forward for the most part. Although, World of Illusion does more directly change up the game play.

Castle of Illusion is a master piece. World of Illusion is also a master piece just to me not as great as Castle of Illusion. I felt the challenge was more balanced, better boss fights and more interesting surprises within stages. Also, despite not giving you as much story as World of Illusion does. It still works to it's advantage in the end.

I do recommend both these Disney games especially to Mickey Mouse fans. World of Illusion is still a great game even with it's flaws. I just felt Castle of Illusion is more I'm looking for in a license game well one that doesn't suck. Overall, it's no question I prefer Castle of Illusion way more in the long run.

No more Unus Annus

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, for the past year two YouTubers Markiplier and his friend Ethan chose to do videos every day through out a whole year. They done some truly questionable stuff I'm amazed YouTube didn't remove. Unus Annus in another language means living up to a year. Every single video ends with the clock ticking with what time is left.

I am using loop holes so neither Mark or Ethan can make me take it down. I am not going to fully reveal everything they done. I may mention bits or pieces of some those videos. Otherwise, I am mostly talking about the very concept itself. They both chose to start a new YouTube channel with the goal of ending it in a year.

Now that alone tells you what ultimately their goal is from the very beginning. They revealed a major reason they done this is to do videos that isn't their usual stuff from boredom. Some of these videos are informational, interesting to the point you'll learn stuff both good or bad. They have eaten & drank stuff not pleasant.

They are ending it all during a live stream which I don't think ever happened before. If it has, can anyone tell me who done it first please thanks in advance. Unus Annus is mostly out the wall comedy web show that doesn't even take it seriously. Even when they do get serious at times. They met a lot of great people through out a year.

There was a period where they couldn't be together in person. They quickly found a way to continue what they started. COV-19 wasn't deadly enough to kill off Unus Annus. Let's be honest, some of these videos will forever leave imagines you wish you could unseen, a particular costume video. I love they chose to exactly what they wanted that wasn't necessary they done on their own channels.

This quickly became one of the fastest growing YouTube channels in history. I don't think it's just because of Markiplier himself. There's a lot of thought behind a lot of these videos. Some of them really gets you thinking of many things very differently. This channel is so unusual yet unique in it's overall design.

Unus Annus has a few hours left as of this blog entry. There's virtually no point to link anything directly Unus Annus here. There's a lot of recurring themes including a lot of similar concept videos. I am not saying they were running out of ideas. When restrictions relating to COD-19 took effect, it greatly altered their plans.

The fact, they still wanted to continue even then bravo for not giving up guys. There's people wishing they could do something like Unus Annus. This channel is so special in terms of having two friends enjoying even the bad things in those videos. At the same time, they are still friends end of the day.

A little hint what my favorite Unus Annus is. It involves words now saying a little more could allow them to force me to take this down. So I'm playing smart here like Markiplier smart lol. These guys had a rather interesting journey within a year. The journey may seem like an excuse to start early on doing their bucket lists.

I can assure you it's much deeper than that. These guys are clearly entertainers at heart. They truly love their fans, they already know what majority of them felt about this channel ending. I personally think they would make some sort of continuation of Unus Annus. Simply doing it at all was a commitment.

It never was oh you can chicken out that's it kind of thing. No it was more of you agreed to it now suffer the punishments when it paid due. Unus Annus is sorta a fantasy most of us viewers have. Especially those who aren't technically YouTube stars. I can speak for those people, the risks alone isn't worth it.

We really wish we could do many things Unus Annus has done. I know a lot of it involve money but also the concept of doing some of this for fun purposes alone. Unus Annus is something that's like The Angry Video Game Nerd where in one way or another it's all a part of us. We all want to do those things and more.

I will give them for fully commit to the purpose behind their channel. It isn't easy to make videos everyday especially when you already have a successful YouTube channel. It is a lot of work to sorta out especially within a year. Clearly, both Mark & Ethan were willing to test how well they can multi task.

You can tell I have a lot of respect for both of them as well as this soon to be gone channel. In a way, this feels like an unauthorized broadcasts. You know shows or movies playing on an unofficial service. Especially those allowing stuff that wouldn't been allowed on actual channels on Television.

Well that's what Unus Annus felt like to me. They are taking a lot of risks with some of these videos. I don't even think I'll hear from anyone whose involved with those videos. I will say this message to both Mark and Ethan in a way that's almost like me directly saying it right in their faces.

Mark, Ethan you guys sure went out on a limb to give us such entertainment. Even with the death of Unus Annus, the overall experience ultimately made you both better people. I'm sure in time, your fans will still be there for you both. In all of us in our own way, Unus Annus lives on. It never can truly die, in fact it will suddenly become that of an phoenix rising from the ashes.

Honestly, Unus Annus was something I watched a lot with my wife. There's times we both gotten great laughs. Sometimes, I really needed it after a while. Yes, they do often talk about running out of time as well as death itself. But that's a given since the very beginning of it's existence. Thus, them never saying it was going to end or any mention of death at all isn't true to itself.

Unus Annus is something you should watch while you still have time. Yes, I made a few Unus Annus memes. If they asked me to take em down, I would out of respect alone. This is something the world will never be the same once it's gone. It was something that brought people together. Almost like one of many things people consider to be the universal language.

For those that doesn't know what that means. There are things people are into that most people are deeply passionate about. Unus Annus is something that will continue to inspire people long after it's gone. Honestly, I'm happy to spend a few days doing mostly getting caught up on their videos. I am not even going to criticize videos I don't like because there isn't much I didn't like at all.

The overall ratio of their videos are quite good. Some of them I would say are very rewatchable. There's little to no real filter within their actions. You actually can think of this like being free while what some people consider what freedom is like or thinking like a child. They openly chose to do things they knew a lot of people aren't even expecting.

Let's be honest, trying to predict the unpredictable here is virtually like trying to make sense of it all. We all already knew that's never going to happen lol. It is no secret, these two guys are creative people. Amy whose one of the camera people came up with a lot of those videos herself. She also does live streams making pots.

I know it's time to end it. No not like that I don't even know any of them lol. I felt this was something worth getting into while it was still around. I will miss watching their videos until the day I die. Unus Annus isn't about death but getting to truly live your life. If you aren't truly living your life, you're already dead.

Looking back on Dead by Daylight vs. Friday the 13th: The Game

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, originally this look back was going to happen on this past Halloween. I wanted to wait until the new killer for DbD was revealed. Earlier today, we will be getting The Twins. Which is interesting in a sense, most fans aren't even aware of. Soul at Stake, which is a Chinese knock off of DbD already has a devil called The Twins.

Anyway, I'm not here to add salt to that. A few years ago, I did a full on comparison between Dead by Day and Friday the 13th: The Game. Very soon, the servers for most online players will be shut down for good. I knew this was coming but it is kinda sad this game over a lawsuit got it's potential cut short.

My opinion on which is better isn't going to change. Dead by Daylight has something for everyone. A lot of changes has came to Dead by Daylight greatly increasing replay value. A simple comparison now possibly a one sided argument. Friday the 13th: The Game did have some amazing kill animations.

It still the best license game on that franchise without question. It still has a strong fan base that supports the game. Dead by Daylight is one of those games you must play on Halloween. Honestly, I was happy to attempt what became one of the biggest recent horror game debates ever. I mostly chosen DbD over F13 because it was balanced better with multiple killers.

The fact, they had the balls to do Pyramid Head from Silent Hill series. Now that alone is a great reason I wouldn't pick F13 over it. Now, they done two siblings that you can switch between to hunt survivors is insane. A lot more interesting outfits in the long run as well. The point is F13 may done a few things better.

At the same time, I can't deny it had problems that hunt me wanting to play it. Especially during online play is not a rememberable experience. Dead by Daylight has a lot of complexity within it's design, I love that. Honestly, Dead by Daylight is a game that forever changed the genre of horror games.

Not only that, if you already owned it on PS4 or Xbox One. You automatically own it with everything you have on PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S models. There's more ways to earn blood points to help leveling your characters. The achievements kept getting competitive but also helps you get better at the game after getting crossplay feature.

Jack Red reviews Blade the Iron Cross (2020)

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, thanks to Full Moon for temporary making Blade the Iron Cross on a particular website free to watch for a short period of time. As many of you know I'm a huge Puppet Master fan. I wasn't sure when I was going to see this. I am so thankful to see this movie.

Blade the Iron Cross is a sequel to the Axis trilogy taking place a few years later. This time, only Blade gets used. I know to a lot of people that would disappoint them. At the same time, they did a great job making that work to their advantage. There's some violent deaths in this movie.

At first, I wasn't happy how Blade's head looked in the movie. But as I was watching the movie, it kinda worked better than I expected. There's a mess up scene that caught me off guard. As much I want to spoil that particular scene, it would affect you enjoying the movie.

The story itself was better than I expected as well. Among some of the newer Puppet Master movies, it has one of the best acting casts without question. Warning to the young audience who isn't old enough to watch this. There is a lot of nudity in this movie, you have been warned.

I felt they did a great job making an concept that easily could've went south for Full Moon. Once again, some of the Nazis want an undead army. I might as well make this joke before I can't anymore. When did Puppet Master suddenly became Wolfenstein lol. Blade the Iron Cross is a great low budget horror movie.

This is also a part of a bizarre line up of movies. Roughly half of them are sequels to their movies. Maybe it's just me, I felt this was going to be the best of them. You can excuse some usage of the special effects. Like those that made Blade faster than he actually is or the shocking people effect.

I do recommend this movie to fellow Puppet Master fans. It is a sign, this franchise is far from dying off. There's still some more possibilities they could do in the near future. It already longer than Child's Play/Chucky series. Despite, the original came out a year after the original Child's Play movie.

For Blade in particular, this has some of his finest kills to date. Sure, it isn't as bloody as the previous Puppet Master movies. At the same time, there is little to not the point behind this particular movie. This was more about having one of those characters stand out.

It does bag the question, when will the Nazis stop trying to steal their secret. A lot of them died by their hands. I kinda hope we get more spin off Puppet Master stuff. Like they need to give a spin off comic to Torch. Regardless, this movie is hands down a great way to enjoy yourself after a hard day's work.

Why Dead Rising 4 failed?

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, Dead Rising series is among my favorite game franchises of all time. But there's no hiding from it, most the fan base strongly agrees that Dead Rising 4 sucked. The real question is why did it suck so bad? There's a lot of factors people pointed out in videos but I rather do this differently to help stand out from those.

The first big problem is they changed Frank West way too much. I understand why they consider changing his voice actor. But they didn't seem to understand Frank themselves. Considering, they did a great job with Dead Rising 2 games. Directly with how they handled Frank prior was great.

Removing the time limit altogether would've worked if more things were there to help with it's replay value. Sadly, even considering those doesn't help DR4's case much. I actually felt Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop on Wii having separate time limits worked way better.

There's obviously little to no real interactive in this game. Which is something that was widely known in this series to have. I can understand why they renamed the bosses from Psychopaths to Maniacs. But at the same time, even with an update to improve em. Let's be brutally honest here didn't actually make them any better.

Most bosses in that game were slightly tougher regular enemies. Only story bosses have cut scenes also took away from them. Not to mention, there's little to no boss themes doesn't help things either. You don't get anything worth talking about from any boss fight at all.

The direction of the story was lackluster, cheap & let's face it pretty boring as well as predictable. The Exosuit seem like an interesting concept on paper but terribly executed here. Even the extra Zero Exosuit doesn't help that argument much. They removed the multiple endings from the campaign itself was a horrible idea.

I get they were low on time trying to play it safe. Well a little too safe for what should've happened. Removing those took away a lot of replay value. What makes this even worse is for the full conclusion. Frank Rising which is in this game's case Overtime Mode. You have to pay for that?

In it's defense, I actually like how they went about this mode. It does have a few endings making it a reversible of the usual way things go. They increased the leveling from level 50 to level 100. The grind could be tedious until you come across a trick that also helps giving you a ridiculous amount of money.

The simple fact is they didn't put much effort into what you'll actually get during the leveling process. I actually felt Capcom Heroes done that better. There's no need to apologize from this point on. This game has the franchise's worst zombies yet in my opinion.

Yes, that's also considering zombie enemies added in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. I was deeply and I strongly meant deeply disappointed with it's Season Pass. I was even more let down with Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf. I'm not a fan of gold to begin with.

The title itself sounded like a follow up to Super Ultra Dead Rising 3' Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + a (alpha symbol). Yet it really was misleading altogether. You just give a stupid golf mini game that lacks any real depth at all. Even with the unlockables making it a pure waste of your money.

The small dlcs which is strangely not included in Xbox One's Season Pass deal. Well only Ugly Winter Sweater shouldn't even been a paid dlc outfit. The only excluded dlc worth talking about is Slicecycle. The rest are simple, uninspired stuff that are just once again a waste of money.

The fact they make you pay for changing holiday themes for the game is also stupid too. Especially it doesn't even cover Halloween. Which would've been fitting in this case since it's a horror game. Hands down, the best dlc it has to offer is Capcom Heroes.

Now that was more of a successor to that Xbox One exclusive DR3 dlc. You get a lot of Capcom characters including shadow versions to play as. There's more cabinet locations than those of the Exosuits. Yes, the damage you'll take is a bit on the cheap side.

They also hid references to many of their franchises too. Dead Rising 4 lacking mixed drinks made it more difficult to survive. They don't just give you more health. They also temporary give you an ability. You can drink a couple of them to gain several of those effects at the same time.

The length of the campaign since they technically little to nothing stopping you from completing it from start to finish. This particular case meaning you don't have to wait around until you can do something like in the other games. It just felt like something important or could've been fun missing altogether.

Can you believe they greatly reduced the amount of weapons in this game? Dead Rising 3 has a lot of weapons including super combo weapons. Dead Rising 4 clearly missed an opportunity to making things crazier in the right direction. The simple fact trying to make any combo weapon or vehicle is done so poorly.

Especially how much fun it was done in Dead Rising 3. There's absolutely no excuse for this at all!!! Dead Rising 4 doesn't even feel like an actual Dead Rising game. Most of it's jokes fall flat fast. They did add more Capcom character costumes for free which was nice I guess.

There was no real thought with the collectibles. Yeah getting the blue prints allows you to build more combo weapons or vehicles. But it just felt like you were just wasting your time than actually having fun. I think a major reason this game sucked was a major lack of coop.

Oh ok, the multiplayer mode is coop theme. Sadly, it just felt like a major wasted opportunity. Let me explain, you can consider this my review of it if you wish. There's four episodes that's broken up into two sections each. The boss fights are once again nothing to write home again.

There are a few exclusive stuff you only have in this mode but none of that actually stands out at all. In fact, this mode is heavily randomized what it wants you to do. This also affects where the save house will be. Sadly, they only focused on using the mall which already sucked to begin with.

I don't think there's a leveling limit either. One sorta good thing I can say is you do level up faster. Considering the previous game depending on which version you have. Most versions have four shorter dlc campaigns that all follow a different character. Now this alone is way better than most of what DR4 has to offer.

Dead Rising 4 is simply not balanced at all. They forced in two harder difficulties that might've been too unforgiving just to shut up the fans. Thankfully, we gotten those for free too. Let's be honest, just having Capcom Heroes I would've been fine. Frank Rising was an interesting concept that worked better than most modes.

Overall, Dead Rising 4 is one of the worst games. Not just in Dead Rising series. Not just in the beat em up genre. But also from Capcom themselves, they should be shame for making this. Honestly, Dead Rising 4 is a poor excuse of a game. Little to no real fun there's no wonder why this failed so bad even leading to the company making em to get shut downed.

Ways Dead Rising 2: Off the Record was better than the original version

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, I know Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is mixed received among the fans. There's people who don't like it that mostly see it as a quick cheap revision while others like myself love it. Most people I talked to about this series often told me it was among their favorites.

Honestly, this is my favorite Dead Rising game. Sometimes, what your favorite game in any franchise may be actually turned out to be everyone's favorite. There's plenty of changes in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record from the original version. I felt I should talk about reasons why I prefer the non canon version much more.

I do like Chuck Greene but he isn't that interesting to me. It's hard to compete with Frank West well except in DR4 where he sucked. But it was an excuse to replay the game as another character. Kinda like how some lock-on games for Sonic 3 & Knuckles in a sense.

Sandbox Mode is mixed because it has challenges that isn't necessary well thought out or much fun. Especially after you play the challenges in Dead Rising 3. At least, you'll have more ways to earn a lot of money. They increased the amount you'll get from ATM machines especially using the money hacker device.

This mode is in my opinion what Infinity Mode of Dead Rising 1 should've been like. You can fully explore the map to your likening. There's a new location that's also mixed. I actually like it a lot because it's a theme park. You can use rides to kill zombies or play some carnival games.

They added more outfits, weapons and a few vehicles. Yes the new combo weapons came from Dead Rising 2: Case West. Some of those are still among my favorites. They replaced Leon who kinda sucked overall with a crazy version of Chuck Greene. This was a more proper boss fight in comparison.

It also happens the closest we had two main characters facing each other. Before Nick fought Hunter then Adam later on in Dead Rising 3. They replaced Arthur's suit of armor for an Protoman costume. This is up to debate which you prefer. But Protoman not only comes with a weapon but also a shield too.

Arthur costume completely lacked a weapon altogether. In Dead Rising 4, Arthur is more to my likening personally. Parts of the story are more difficult to take seriously. I actually prefer Stacey boss fight over Sullivan's. I know a lot of people do prefer Sullivan's boss fight.

Mostly due to Stacey using an machine to kill you. This officially happens in canon within Dead Rising 3. They added Evan the Clown whose the brother of Adam the Clown. Just because you play as Frank, the game is more of a direct sequel to the original game.

Yes, Frank doesn't seen to have the same level of importance as Chuck had in his version. I also prefer moves Frank has in comparison to Chuck's. Another great reason is you probably knew Dead Rising 2 had dlc outfits. Each outfit affects game play in some way.

In Frank's version, you get four new dlc outfits that also affect the game play. But you also can get the previous dlc outfits hidden in that version of the game too. Now that's eight costumes that directly affect the game play you can have. Some achievements that both share are easier to get in this version as well.

I actually liked when you go to the map screen, you'll see the in game timer. This is important because in most games of that franchise. You had to use the watch to see the time. Which can put you at an disadvantage against enemies. Also, it's easier to plan around what to do in this version because of it's done here.

Some parts of the campaign are easier while others are more difficult like the endgame. In the original version, you had to buy or find Zombrex to give to Chuck's daughter. But she is only in the save house, sometimes you got to go a distance to just give her the shot.

In Frank's version, when it comes time you can quickly give yourself the shot. This alone saves you a lot of time as well as frustration during a run. Sandbox Mode also helps getting you ready for achievement hunting in the story mode. Also, TIR mode in DR2 mostly being multiplayer theme isn't all that fun.

In both modes of play, you can or someone else can join session thus making it coop. Despite, parts of it's flaws I do like you can do that. Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is essentially an non canon, updated version of the game. I would say this is way better than Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop on Wii.

Yes I know, a lot of cut scenes in this fact most of them are similar to what originally was there. I am not trying to dodge the bullet here. I strongly felt a lot of people took this game the wrong way fast. Simply because of the new location, to me this map was my favorite.

The simple fact you get plenty of freedom done right yes I'm looking at you Dead Rising 4. This version is worth giving a try especially if you're a fellow fan of the series. Most problems I had with the previous version was gone with this version. Honestly, I do recommend this game a lot for what it is.

Jack Red reviews AVGN I & II Deluxe

Update: as of November 24, 2020 I gotten every achievement in the Steam version. A real word of advice unless you're willing to take all the punishment, you won't get every stage in all games done on perfect.

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, as many of you know I'm a huge AVGN fan. I knew about this remastered compilation for a few years. It came out not long ago, I just gotten it on Steam last night. I just fully played through all three games. All in one setting each that's a great sign.

This is a game compilation of three games on the web show The Angry Video Game Nerd. The Angry video Game Adventures received the most changes overall. The Angry Video Game Nerd 2: ASSimilation got in my opinion necessary changes. You also get The Angry Video Game Nerd in Tower of Torment: The Final Chapter.

I already reviewed the first games previously as well as the movie. I will be linking that to help speed you up. I went from struggling to enjoy the first game to loving it. I don't know how they were able to pull that off. One particular boss got replaced altogether that I felt was very needed.

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2018/12/jack-red-reviews-both-avgn-games-and.html

Real quick, this is my newer version of those reviews. I hope it is up to your likening. This franchise meant so much to me ever since 2007, that's a long time. James inspired a lot of people including myself. Honestly, I am always thankful to have someone like him to look up to.

I don't recall an unicorn or a reference to one prior to the original version of that game. I am very happy we now face the Bloodstained Bears from an Halloween episode. Now this is way more like it guys. Yes I seen Mike's stream on this compilation. I'm glad he spoke up to replacing that boss.

They actually made Fred Fucks a more balanced final boss fight. Originally, it was luck if you would win. Also, I am happy they chose to revamp their own version of the character into being more like the one on the show. I didn't personally dislike their original version of the character.

Let's be honest, the new look with the lines while recreating Gilbert Gottfried's appearance genius. Speaking of him, the Nostalgia Critic got replaced with him in the sequel. Honestly, they had a feud with a few videos. But it was more of it's own thing than any of their respective works.

I was glad they tied the second game closer to the original with that change. Which also brings me to the original final boss. They chose in the newer version to remove all AVGN movie references. This directly affects two particular bosses. General Dark Onward & Death Mwauthzyx with new similar bosses taking their place.

Dark Invader is more of a reference to Star Wars' Darth Vader. It also can be seen as a reference to Back to the Future with Marty in disguise calling himself Darth Vader. Dark Invader now looks more like an Dalek from Doctor Who show. They also made great improvements to the scorpion form.

Now in Death Mwauthzyx's case, The Nerd couldn't officially win against that. Even in the AVGN movie, it is directly stated that he's more powerful than both God and the devil combined. Also his appearance had little to no real connection to what was going on in the game.

In his place, we have Fuckotron 9000 which is an ultimate computer. Whose goal is to transform the entire world into a bad game. I also liked instead of summoning smaller versions of himself, this boss spawns random enemies from the first two games. They also changed the color as well as name for the main collectibles to get into the final stages.

Originally it was called the Sexforce a sorta parody of the Triforce. Now it is replaced with the Fucks' Capacitor. For those that doesn't know this is a reference of the Flux Capacitor from Back to the Future series. Honestly, Sexforce was alright for a name. I really loved the new name lol.

The Ghosts of Christmas is changed again. Originally on his web show, two of them were played by founders of the website ScrewAttack. Handsome Tom & Stuttering Craig respectively. Not long before the original game came out, Handsome Tom was no longer with the company.

In that game he got replaced by Nervous Nick. Let's fast forward to 2020, both Nervous Nick & Stuttering Craig are no longer a part of that website. The website itself is now named after the web show Death Battle. So they had to further change two of the ghosts' appearance again.

One of the biggest changes affects all three games. On Easy & Normal, they greatly reduced the amount of death blocks. In a lot of their placements is now spiked balls. This makes going for collectibles much easier. They removed the jokes after you die to speed up spawning.

Honestly, as much I liked some of those jokes. I rather come back alive faster so they made the right call. All three games also have cartridges that spells out the word NERD. Also with the new versions of the easier difficulties comes with infinite lives. Thank you so much, you have no idea how frustrating the original was without that option.

I loved they changed the world name from Nerd Gain to Nerds VS Ninjas. The original name Nerd Gaiden is a reference to Ninja Gaiden series as well as his own Ninja Gaiden episode. The new name is a play on Bad Dues vs. DragonNinja. They also added parodies of several Godzilla monsters fighting in the background.

They also had in the beginning stage a Polybius arcade cabinet. They also changed the name Onwards and Backwards to NOOOooo. Which is a meme from the infamous Vader cry scene from Revenge of the Sith. Now to unlock the third & final game you need to beat the first two first.

I believe it could be reference Wily Tower from Mega Man: The Wily Wars. Another game I reviewed earlier this year. Which gets unlocked the same way by beating Mega Man 1-3. Just like that bonus game, it does reuse many things from the other games to help tie it together.

The Angry Video Game in Tower: Torment: The Final Chapter title is likely a play on many things. The Final Chapter likely an reference to Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter. Considering Rolfe was involved with the documentary on the franchise that wouldn't surprise me.

The long titles is another recurring jokes of his. If they continue beyond this is yet another likely joke James has done. Although, this is only four stages long. I felt it was justify enough for replay value. The achievements this time around are more fun to go for.

I been dying to talk about the final boss of the third game. This is technically two back to back boss fights. You face a parody of Bugs Bunny. Most AVGN fans would already know why this is huge. Officially three episodes, James fought Bugs Bunny. Personally to this very day, my favorite AVGN episode so happens to be Bug Bunny Crazy Castle.

A huge amount of these stages are parodying that episode as well as Dragon's Lair episode. I am happy they used the Giant Claw in place of the dragon as a joke lol. I believe Mike himself stated the stage with the truck was his idea. WOW, this stage can be unforgiving at times.

I really loved they actually went for that joke. Not to mention, on the side of that truck is one of my favorite quotes said by another character on that web show. I also loved all three games shared the same save. They removed all the cameos of web show characters.

In their place is Future Nerd who reveals stuff for the second game to his past self. I could be wrong but this could be a reference to Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Hear me out, Coco is playable in most levels due to time travel. Thus, she already knows what Crash went through in those events.

The new lines alone is what really sell this game. I would even say some of them are some of the best ever spoken anything AVGN related yet. This felt like a true AVGN collection that's a must have in your collection. They made the first two games even more connected than ever before.

The new bosses are a very welcome addition to the compilation. They done a truly amazing job with everything, I'm deeply very impressed by this. I really wish I could shake your hands for this. Honestly, you pay fifteen for this some people see it as lower would've been better.

How I see it is we got three games for five bucks each. I think the price for it is fine enough. I am glad they didn't make the soundtracks as separate purchases again. I also liked one stage in the third game involves using the screen looping. This is actually one of my favorite stages in all three games.

This packed with great content especially for fellow fans of the web show. They really out done themselves here. I still say the second one is overall my favorite. But the third one is just enough my second favorite. Despite the length being the shortest. It actually had some great jokes from start to finish.

They actually given us some refreshing stage concepts we never even consider or thought about. In that regard the bonus, third game is hands down my second favorite for those reasons. Also, the final boss alone gave it that spot as well. I will say this I highly recommend to this especially when someone desperately needs to laugh.

This is hands down one of the absolute funniest games I personally ever played. I really can not fully explain how I truly felt about neither could do it enough justice on myself. This compilation is very faithful to the source material more than you're expecting it to be.

Ways that Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop was better than the original version

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, it is common knowledge most prefer the original Dead Rising over it's Wii remake. But I am here to tell you despite it's flaws. This version actually had some great things that quickly got overlooked. I would even say it does deserve more respect than the likes of Dead Rising 4.

For starters, due to the time limit being used for each mission rather than overall. You got more time to rescue people. You also can get rewards that's worth going for. Not only that, their overall AIs is way better. Sadly, a few survivors are absent in this version. It is also easier to give them health items as well as weapons.

Although, there isn't as many potential weapons as in the original game. It does have more variety of fire arms. Yes I know majority of them are directly pulled from Resident Evil 4. Not a lot of people realize this is the only Dead Rising game to have reload animations.

The inventory is in my opinion the best in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. You can hold way more stuff. You also get a few categories to help you find what you're looking for. Once any magazine is picked up, you always have it. This wasn't done again until Dead Rising 3 & later Dead Rising 4.

You also get a lot of ammo which is simply better than using a lot of the same guns. Obviously, wasting guns like no tomorrow. You also get more unlockables for your save house in this version. Like Adam's small chainsaw, Sean's sword or the convict's heavy machinegun. You also get Roll from Mega Man Legends series costume.

Instead of Infinity Mode, you'll get two mini games to play. Second Amendment a shooting theme mini game to test your accuracy. Odd Jobs is partly comedic but more insane challenges you could attempt to complete. Yes, there's bosses within these challenges especially the final challenge.

They actually made the convicts, tank and Brock more fun to face. Even if it is technically in a way it would ruin their respective boss fights. In most versions of DR1, I usually rely on constantly jump kicking him. But in this version, it is more about tricking him to get attacked.

The convicts is remade as a quick time theme boss fight. Also unlike most versions of DR1, you only face em once that's it. You have no idea how annoying it is to keep killing or avoiding them repeatedly. The Wii controls made the tank boss much more enjoyable in my opinion.

They added more regular zombies you can come across. Obviously, this comes with a price. Jo, Cliff & Kent are no longer psychopaths. They are now unique zombies that can be more than one of them at a time. This means you could be facing multiple Kents or Cliffs at the same time now that's crazy.

They also added as silly it seems. Zombie parrots with grenades & zombie poodles. They didn't use any animals until Dead Rising 2 with Snowflake whose a tiger. I like part of this because you have more reason to pay attention to the environment. Parrots are flying around that at times land for a short period of time.

Poodles are slightly above crawling zombies. But they are among the most aggressive enemies in the game. I haven't even gotten to one of the best things this version has going for it. Unlike most versions of DR1, you can save Cletus. I have to explain this in two parts for a great reason.

Originally, you could only save Paul. After you get him back to the save house. You'll be given an endless supply of Molotov cocktails. But in this version since Paul is absent. You automatically get that by default instead. Originally, Cletus would just die after his boss fight.

They changed it to if you can save him, you'll get him as the merchant of the game. This by itself is way better than just going in grabbing guns for free. Why because you can customize your weapons increasing your chances to survive. He also sells books that will help you in some way.

I felt parts of the controls like throwing actually feels like you're throwing something. You also get more short cuts through saving Greg. To clarify, he was the survivor you'll save from Adam the Clown. Originally, you possibly can get up to two Small Chainsaws as well as a short cut.

However in this version, they added he can directly send you to the gun store. Obviously, you saved Cletus otherwise you won't have this option. He also helps with short cuts that helps with a couple survivors. Sadly, some of those do come with a price.

Just like Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6. You'll get ammo & health items from enemies. They also had the option to change the color of blood. You also can choose your difficulty. But even after completing a run, you can't change it for that save. The good news is you maintain most stuff in your inventory along with your current level.

Which makes this version more forgiving than the original version. Another great change is not only the overall text being bigger. Thus easier to read, you also no longer have to worry about getting attacked or a particular event that interrupts calls. When any texts comes up in this version, everything else stops.

Let's say you only played the Wii version. You have no idea how incredibly frustrating those calls can be in most versions. At times, you will get attacked by enemies. Otis isn't happy to repeat what he needs to say either. They actually made it an achievement in the game to listen to Otis' every call.

Although the overall location is greatly reduced in size. It actually makes it easier to figure out where to go. Yes even with some sections being blocked off or simply removed altogether. Another way this version technically better is a more reasonably way of getting the laser sword as well as real mega buster.

Originally for real mega buster, you had to get the big kill achievement. There's a particular method in wasting one run. But if done right, you'll get it done in nearly six hours. Now that's a lot of time to keep changing vehicles to constantly run over zombies.

The problem with that is they often have these tanks that will explode within impact of your vehicle. Thus further damaging your vehicle to reduce the amount of health your vehicle has. Now, you just need to get all S ranks in Second Amendment. Originally, you need to survive 5 days in Infinity Mode.

In real time, that's ten straight hours of game play without saving at all. Keep in mind, this mode your health is constantly going down with everyone trying to kill you. In the Wii version, you'll just need to get all S ranks in Odd Jobs. Now doing some of that will be frustrating.

At the same time, I think in that particular case. I rather go out of my way to get those S ranks than trying to survive for ten straight hours. Some boss fights you can use the motion controls to avoid getting hit. Like Adam's spinning attack or sniper shots. What is this The Matrix lol.

Honestly, the sniper shots are accurate in all versions of that game. By adding in the ability to dodge those does make those particular boss fights more fair. Now considering how the time limit was done in the Wii version. You potentially could have more time using Isabella's motorcycle or Steven's weapon cart.

Now I know this post isn't going to make a lot of question replay this version to change their minds. I strongly felt this is indeed a gem on that console as well in it's franchise. To me, it's way better than DR4. Honestly, this is a rather different experience from that of the original game that's worth giving a try.

Jack Red reviews The Banana Splits Movie

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, this is my late Halloween post. I had stuff come up during Halloween. But I made sure to watch something that's strangely interesting. Honestly, I will be reviewing a movie I knew about since last year. This is the case of The Banana Splits Movie. You could even say especially if you seen the show this is based on.

What the hell am I watching? Originally this was going to be a movie based on Five Nights at Freddy's. But they loss the rights to it, don't worry someone else is making an actual FNaF movie. In desperation to save their production they chose an old show not many people remember anymore.

You heard me correctly they chose The Banana Splits while making it a killer robot machine. As someone who seen a lot of reruns on Cartoon Network back in the day. I was thinking whoever responsible for this is high as crap. I guess with how the year 2020 is going who wouldn't at this point.

Now I should point out this is indeed a twisted take. The plot is this guy who recently became the new president of the network cancels The Banana Splits despite being a high rated show. All the people in the audience are unaware this was their last episode. Let's just say the stars themselves really didn't take kindly to this.

They added a new character named Steven whose. Oh okay I know what a lot of us are thinking Peewee Herman. Not to be confused with Steve from Blue's Clues. There's surprisingly a lot of deaths in this movie. The fact these robots wanted to kill the network president in front of children is pretty mess up.

In this universe, the show was on the air since the 70s. There isn't a lot of similar shows still around today like Sesame Street or Barney the Dinosaur. I rather see a parody of The Count than watching this. As stupid of a concept this may be, it kinda makes you curious to see how it plays. Honestly, this movie is very mess up at it's core.

In the original show well our universe, the stars were played by people. The fact they changed that to robots is crazy. Isn't the show wacky enough without directly killing people lol. This is of course a Syfy movie. I will say the killing scenes are satisfying including the weird ones. Like the guy who played Steven gets a large fake lollipop forced down his throat.

These robots even made harmless recurring themes of their show into essentially nightmare fuel. I got to be honest I went in thinking I wasn't going to like this movie. I ended up loving it, yes some characters are flat out dislikable. At the same time, this movie does have a few interesting characters.

Hard to believe this is officially the second movie of the franchise. During the run of the show, they had a movie so if you wanted The Banana Splits movie more faithful to it's faithful there you go. Not a lot of people know a brief revival on Cartoon Network back in 2008 to just reference the show.

I will say this the movie itself is not to be taken seriously. They transformed lovable characters into monsters. Let's be honest, even if it were to be a FNaF movie. They are just cashing on that franchise. This isn't necessary a bad movie. I would say this is a strangely interesting killer robot movie, I still prefer Child's Play remake.
