QRD on that channel? Never watched it but you guys always mention it.
Is there any significance to Clinton? Is it ironic? Is the guy who makes these videos a Clinton fan?

Flights of Fantasy was a TV show that aired in The '90s on the Maryland public-access channel Bowie Community Television (BCTV), hosted by George Wood. Initially dedicated to collectible arts such as comic books, they eventually decided to focus primarily on video game reviews. It had a small local following, and would have been lost media had Wood not joined a video gaming association called NAViGaTR who archived the entire series, edited each episode and put it on YouTube, renamed Gaming in the Clinton Years.

It was the only man brave enough to say Xenogears sucked ass and Lara Croft needed breast cancer. True unfiltered games journalism. The kind we no longer have.

Nobody seems to mention it was Retsupurae who introduced them to George Wood's antics. Was it just me?

Lara Croft breast cancer story would absolutely fly nowadays. It's the perfect material for a TLOU style movie-game.
And the idea of driving in a rush to get your pregnant wife to the hospital has amazing streamerbait/friendslop potential.

I remember clicking on the "Goldeneye is a terrible game" video and immediate giving them 1 star because I was a fuckwit teenager who didn't get what they were doing. Then I fell in love with the channel and still quote random bullshit slowbeef and Diabetus have said. I'm glad slowbeef hasn't gone full trolls remorse and nuked the channel.

I like how he still rated 'Challenge' as part as the game's overal rating all the way up to 1998 at least. He wasn't the only one to still do that (Nintendo Power also did it until super late) but by that point most reviewers didn't anymore. It shows he still had that oldschool spirit.

While this is informative it's kind of a bad review of the show, like the way he says Wood was insane for thinking the 64DD or the Virtual Boy would be hot. It's easy to mock him on that in hindsight but it's not like he was the only one, even among pros, thinking that.
My point is that this guy's entire review of the show is under the angle "this thing is shit", influenced by Retsupurae, rather than trying to have an objective look at the show; which isn't that different from many magazine reviews, off topic rants included.
