>Ywn be a kid discovering this channel on the YouTube for the first time again
>>729676432I was always more of an Undertow guy. Truxton isn't a funny meme and I don't like gay redditor types who appeal to bullshit as a seal of quality>CMAAAAAHN ITS A GAME IN SPACE WITH MUSIC SO YOU KNOW ITS GOOD! Either review the game or don't, fuck off with jingly key sensibilities
>kid>youtubeUnderage b&
>>729676623Was there beef between those two?
>>729676670Oh, sorry, it's UTube.com
>>729676432thank you Mark for making me appreciate EDF and TRUXTON
>>729676682I don't think so. Derek or Derrick or whatever always spoke fondly of Mark and thanked him for his career.
His Dead Space reviews were legendary
>>729676432For me, it's the 1999 pre modern broadband internet reviewshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrfS6Qia5a8
>>729676929For me it's the playstation home review
>>729677017>>729676929>>729677179For me, it's Code Veronica.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_xduivHGpY
Why did they add the demon squirrel?
>>729676623I remember binge watching the ds reviews they made.good times
>>729676432>If you like this kind of game then you’re gonna like this gameWow, brilliant review Mark.
>>729676432I fucking love squirrels.
>>729678008the man certainly is a compelling story-teller
>>729676432whatever happened to him anyways? his videos were good.; I think he tried to get into comics or something.
>>729676623>fuck off with jingly key sensibilitiesYou're a fag. Video games are jingly keys.
>>729676432Finding out that this guy was a spoiled brat trust fund kid was pretty disheartening. His friend wanted to take the torch but he said now and shit his pants no one cares about comics for years before coming back anyway
>>729676432Yes, because "kid" is the age range of 4 to 9, and I was already a full grown gentleman by the time YouTube released
>>729676432>dude vectrex lmao truxton LOL
>>729678135>hey mark, how are the graphicsTHIS GAME HAS THOSE!>how's the gameplayYOU SHOOT STUFF>is the gameplay goodCMAAAAHN ITS GOT A CAR IN SPACE!!!! LISTEN TO THAT SWEET 32 BIT SOUND!!! CGR is cozy but his reviews are terrible if youre trying to figure out if a games actually good or not
Is there a way to watch or download every single episode they made? I feel like 80% are lost in time
>>729678125He's older so I assume he just lost the real drive to do it, his type of content was really perfect for the 2000's but by 2015 it wasn't the thing pulling in views anymore. I'm sure there is much more lore behind the scenes.
>>729678397There's some pretty hefty playlists on youtube you can find of all his reviews. Hope they don't get removed.

>>729676432didn't this guy review individual skylanders?
>>729678191Wasn't his father super rich?
>>729678191White in pure definition
>>729678261You forgot the R-ZOOOOOONE you heckin secondary
Mark started making vids in 2000 right? He was 25, damn he really hit a goldmine with the YouTube content once that became a thing, by 2010 he was already 35 with a hefty channel and a decent amount of fans for the time. After 2010 it's like his channel just slowly started to rot.
Post more nostalgia flashbangs
>>729678125TDS in 2016 and lost his interest in gaming. sold all the donated rare games
at least game sack did lost his interest in gaming even when going old
>>729680924>TDS in 2016Why would he suddenly get political?
>>729681074i dunno, but he made a tweet back then going mental over trump winning. thats the start of his spiraling
>>729681046Well, technically they did. The other guy left and Joe is more of an audiophile than a gamer. It just pays the bills. Still pretty cool he hasn't quit yet.
>>729676794Yeah he was way nicer than he had to be about how Mark ended Undertow.
>>729676432It was cgr undertow for me
>>729680924that's hilarious
>>729676670If you weren't a kid 20 years ago, there's something wrong with your brain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIQW74Sppz8I watched this video so much as a kid
>>729683389watched this on a thinkpad back then lolActual fun multiplayer in that game too
>>729676623the problem is that the undertow guy has nothing but awful takes on games
>>729678008Its simple and to the point, what video game reviews should be. I don't need a synopsis of the plot or an essay on its impact on 2000s culture. Just tell me if its fun, why I might like it, and how much it costs.
Anyone recognize the song at the beginning of the Toy Commander video? Also what the fuck are these captchas?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9xVm4reE5k
>>729678125Unintentional or intentional self-sabotaging decisions, Mark def hit burnout permanently but:>Tried moving all his shit from Youtube to other platforms when adpocalypse happened (and he didn't like the way comments were done, he kinda struck me always as having thin skin). This was almost at the same time Patreon was taking off, big mistake, I believe this led to Undertow getting axed.>Then for 3.0 (relaunch of the show on Youtube), it was clear he was phoning it in for half the reviews, then he started pushing other projects like a comic. Paywalled a lot of new content too.Mark is a trust fund kid, his dad is super wealthy, like crazy wealthy, so all that money helped him out in the early 2000s to do a game show but now any zoomer with an iphone and editing software can run circles around his shtick. He makes really shit business decisions, constantly. So it's hard to figure out when he burns out and self sabotage or genuine incompentence. CGR has been rebooted like 4 times.
Did Mark ever start a family? Is that why he slowed down his video making?
Buddy has a fucking camino in his man-cave
>>729676623Undertow was consistently the single worst reviewing channel of the era. The opinions on any of the hosts were always bad, and most of the time gameplay was from the first levels
>>729676432Discovered Nier through his videos, only place that gave it a good review at the time
>>729684313worst of all is that there is probably a market for more raw stuff with not too much editing.
The Seaman review still makes me laugh.>Hey Seaman, you suck!>So does your mother
storage shed era was peak
>>729684756Undertow didn't really have the voice for reviews but I can appreciate what he was trying to do compared to Mark.
>>729676432I really hate the modern "everything is evil" version of gaming youtube
