SCXCR: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

Scott Ramage, better known as SCXCR (or SCR to his friends) is a brainy nerd from Ohio with an outspoken opinion and a love for all things ''[[Bloody Roar]]''. He reviews video games (among other things) and hangs out a lot with his buddies in RiverCityGamers.

** Also a running gag, where he uses a clip of [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] saying it, often in response to cringe-worthy voice acting.

* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: Mocked in his ''[[Bloody Roar]]'' review, as the translators apparently couldn't decide if the name of the game's [[Evil, Inc.]] is spelled [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Tylon, Tyrone]] or variations thereupon.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: When taking a second to contemplate the connection between ''Apocalypse'' and ''[[Tony Hawks Pro Skater]]'', his mind instead drifts towards pancakes and teleporters.

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: At the end of the ''Heatseeker'' review, {{spoiler|when he finds he's been trapped inside the SNES ''[[The Pagemaster|Pagemaster]]'' game:}}

** And again in ''[[Resident Evil Gun Survivor|Resident Evil Survivor]]'', when ''his own voice-over'' interrupts him mid-sentence:

* [[Excuse Plot]]: In the ''[[War Gods]]'' review:

* [[Explosive Instrumentation]]: He wonders whether the fact that ''[[Resident Evil Gun Survivor|Resident Evil Survivor]]'' has no CG cutscenes is due to [[Capcom]]'s computers exploding.

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]: Wears them due to poor circulation in his hands. [[Rule of Cool|They look cool, too.]]

* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: Obviously, his online nickname is simply the initials of his real name.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Double subverted in his review of ''[[Resident Evil Gun Survivor|Resident Evil Survivor]]'', where he admits that he's not good at pretending to be angry, and instead tries using all his creativity to come up with the perfect metaphor for the game's numerous plot holes. {{spoiler|When all he can come up with is a pair of colliding trains, he flies into nerd rage anyway.}}

* [[Voice of the Legion]]: {{spoiler|The Codemasters talking through the CD case of ''Heatseeker''.}}

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be]] [[Halo]] [[Regenerating Health|Health]]?: Brought up in the ''[[Red Steel]]'' review.

* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: SCR delivers an elbow drop to an off-screen victim during the ''[[Bloody Roar]] 2'' review. Later during the same review, he also questions why Stun (who was a scientist before [[Was Once a Man|being turned into a]] [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-insect monstrosity]]) would know wrestling moves.
