"I got nothing."


 "I take great pleasure in soda consumption, pushing buttons, and running around various objects."

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.

He makes several series, including:

  • MGP: Formerly "Multiple Gaming Personalities", where SCR reviewed games in the guise of several different personalities of himself. The concept was soon dropped for being too much trouble and the series was re-branded "Mr. Game Player", which were more basic reviews. Eventually turned into what is now known simply as "SC On...".
  • Five Dollar Gaming: Reviews of games that are available for 5 dollars or less (usually bargain bin titles) which are graded on whether or not they're worth the money.
  • Just Play Along Reviews: Reviews done in song form, composed and performed entirely by SCR himself.
  • The Bloody Roar Retrospective: An in-depth look at one of his personal favorite franchises, talking about the characters, story, and gameplay in each separate game to show the series' rise to greatness and eventual fall into mediocrity.

SCXCR provides examples of:

 "Hudson now translate for glory good great justice battery!"

  "Motherfu--"

  "What the fu--"

  "Remember the fighting game stereotype that story takes a back seat to... you know, everything? Well, if this were prison, then War Gods would be calling that stereotype 'daddy' and making him sandwiches."

 Spoony: "Bullshit!"

  "We are Codemasters, for we are many."
