** ...reviews [[Brutal Legend]]... after only playing an hour of it. He also uses the game's Hell level,<ref>which doesn't exist</ref> to set up a subplot with [[The Scrappy|Devil Bores.]] Afterwards, when he realizes he has nothing to bitch about, he whines that the sound effects feel out of place, and thinks that we can identify with his feelings on them. Sure...
** ...reviews the wrong game mode of [[Tekken]] 6. He reviewed the Scenario Mode, instead of the actual fighting game mode. [[Flat What|This had to be pointed out to him in person.]] In the [[YouTube]] version, he (for once) admits his mistake, but adds that he's a [[Mortal Kombat]] fan, so he can't understand this game's appeal.
** ...reviews ''[[
* [[Tropers/Cliche|Cliche]]: The Irate Gamer's ''[[
* [[Tropers/terlwyth|terlwyth]]: His review of The Odyssey, which was laden with plenty [[Did Not Do the Research|of errors]]. But the worst was his "joke" about the Simon Says game for it where he adds flash cards referencing probably the only date he'll ever get after this, [[A Date
* [[Tropers/Bat Dan|Bat Dan]]: For me, it's from the first video I ever saw, his review of [[Zombies Ate My Neighbors]]. The moment he called it a bad game that "deserved to be chucked into the nearest meat grinder" I knew this guy was fake. It only got worse with pointless complaints (the weapons are stupid, you only get 3 lives and passwords), unfunny jokes, and complaining that the ending was an actual level instead of boring credits. Most of his complaints were aspects that gamers would find good.
* [[Tropers/Dr Zulu 2010|Dr Zulu 2010]]: The [[Irate Gamer]]'s review of ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''. Each game he reviews can be summed up like this. NES TMNT: when half of his complains are half assed versions of the [[
** [[Tropers/Renelia|Renelia]]: Seconded. Other than what was said above about TMNT 1, most of his "review" on TMNT 1 was him running into enemies to get hit and blames the game for his own actions. His trashing of TMNT 2 because of removing features that the NES can't even handle (and it's a [[Porting Distillation]] at that). What doesn't help is that he basically calls the two extra levels added "worthless and pointless." Chris also claims you have one life and if you lose, it's game over and back to the start. (although you can clearly see his lives counter as 4 from another part of the game just a few seconds prior). Then he goes on for TMNT 3, which he reviews for a few seconds, then he dismisses it to go to the previously mentioned TMNT 4. He claims it was the SNES' [[Killer App]] (when it was also a [[Porting Distillation]] of the Arcade game.) Worst part about it was that he still claims it's a [[Critical Research Failure|Super NES exclusive in his TMNT: Turtles in Time ReShelled review.]]
* [[Tropers/Renelia|Renelia]]: The [[Irate Gamer]]'s review on ''[[Contra]]''. His tirade about instruction manuals, saying "I can’t waste my time reading about a game, I just gotta play it!" pretty much solidifies himself as a non-gamer. Despite he's "claimed" he's played games for about [[Blatant Lies|20 years]], he acts completely surprised when he finds the third stage boss is indeed, an alien. He could have avoided it by just [[Read the Freaking Manual|reading the manual]]. Then he claims the laser is useless, when in fact, it's extremely useful to clear a line of enemies in your way. Super C has him basically saying [[It's Hard, So It Sucks]] and resorts to cheating to get him past the game. Contra Force has him latching on the idea it's an official Contra game (as in, part of the official Contra canon), yet it's a [[Dolled-Up Installment]] of a Japanese game called Arc Hound. Contra 3 has him running about acting surprised when he chose the easy mode and [[Easy Mode Mockery|got mocked by the game]]. Even more ridiculous is how he ranted he had to beat the game on hard just to get the game's best ending. [[Flat What]].
** [[Tropers/Sponge Pore|Sponge Pore]]: I get the feeling the whole instruction manual "joke" is based on his interpretation of gamers. It's like he's saying "Man, who reads the instruction manual? Nobody cares about those, am I right guys???" Um, no. In fact, one of my fondest childhood memories is sitting up at night reading various instruction manuals, and a lot of gamers share that memory. It just further proves he's not a real gamer and [[Did Not Do the Research|assumes]] what gamers are like.
* [[Tropers/Dynaboyj|Dynaboyj]]: Another Irate Gamer moment. His Aladdin review is generally considered one of his worst, but the real DMOS is the joke "Someone call 911, because I've been ROBbed" while holding up [[Nintendo Entertainment System|R.O.B.]] It's completely out of context to the review.
* philipthepatsy: At E3 2010, Bores interviewed Sega representatives about [[
* legoking831: His usual E3 footage amounts to the same questions and everything that you could easily find elsewhere, but there was one real moment in his 2011 E3 coverage that stuck out compared to all else. He was mad about being unable to get into the UbiSoft press conference. So how does he react to this? [[Disproportionate Retribution|He pretends to blow up the UbiSoft office.]] Just because he was one of many who couldn't get in. [[Dude, Not Funny|And he thought this was funny too.]]
* [[Tropers/Tommy X|Tommy X]]: His review of [[Sonic Unleashed]]. He played the first two Sonic levels and said they were good. Then said the Adventure Fields, Werehog and plane levels suck and don't belong in a Sonic game, saying stuff like "Since when has Sonic been this?" YMMV on the Werehog, but Adventure fields were in the fanbases precious Sonic Adventure, and Sonic has been riding on Tails' plane since Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and there are only two of these levels in the whole game. If you're going to criticise a main part of the game, play more than the first level and do basic research.
* Fofa: His review of [[Castlevania: Harmony of Despair]] bothered me for several reasons: One, he seemed to have no clue how to really play the game (as usual), he mostly stood around and shot fireballs in the air. Two, he nitpicked on the game not having Simon Belmont be playable (especially ridiculous when Simon and a retro stage based on the first game was eventually released), and he also seemed to ignore the released DLC that added stages and characters. Third, he complained that the game was too easy with other players and how they had fully leveled up their characters, when [[Hypocrite|he makes a routine out of complaining about hard difficulties]]. But those were the icing on a vile cake. The main thing I have against this review is how he only really played with Shanoa and Charlotte in the footage (Jonathan was used too, but the footage with him was only really there for a few seconds). Besides the fact that it's unprofessional, but it gives the implication that [[Unfortunate Implications|he plays the girls only because they're hot]]. Further squick is added when one considers that Charlotte is about half his age and Shanoa is basically an avatar of the producer's wife. By far one of my least favourite reviews from the guy, which says a lot.
* [[Tropers/Nicholas Onimura|Nicholas Onimura]]: There's so many moments to pick from, but for me, it'd have to be the Video Game Roundup/Rundown (he can't seem to decide). It's much like the 3-in-1 review that he did, except much worse since he reviews four games in less than three minutes, giving only vague details about the games (''[[Lego Adaptation Game|Lego Star Wars III]]'' is awesome because it has new content, but he won't say what that content is). It only proves just how lazy Chris Bores is.
* [[Tropers/Matt Fisher NL|Matt Fisher NL]]: I would say the Dethroning Moment of Suck for the Irate Gamer has to be his review of ''Yo! Noid''. Granted, there are all kinds of possible moments for me to choose from, and I could agree with what any of you guys have suggested here so far, but I chose this one because it [[Dude, Not Funny|just wasn't that funny in my opinion]]. The joke about [[Product Placement]] was drawn out and was not needed, in which Chris Bores pretends to endorse numerous products (A&W, Doritos, and Dr Pepper), and even ''shows on screen a ticker'' promoting ''[[Dancing With the Stars]]''. It's as [[Padding|padded]] as [[Seltzer and Friedberg]]. The cutaway at the end with the lemmings following "Evil Bores" in Hell was not funny, either. Not to mention, this is notorious as the first Irate Gamer episode where Chris Bores says [[Wanton Cruelty to
