Still not 100% sure what to make of this show, but I still don't really see much compelling me to watch. Part of that, I think, is the scatter-gun approach these videos seem to be taking. The more interesting/successful series tend to either evolve more organically or proceed more consistently than this one is. It's inconsistent, and not in a particularly good way.

Part of it, though, is undeniably my own biases and preferences.

No worries, I understand.  Like I said to the guy earlier, give my channel a chance, you might not like ALL of my episodes, but SOME might click with you

Besides, I've already gave some thought to expanding to OTHER consoles IF this show takes off!  So, you may not like the Wii U, but what if I was talking about your favorite piece of hardware?

It's not so much that I don't think I will like any of your episodes (your second episode was fine, though a few parts put me off), but that they aren't really consistent. While overall what I've seen isn't bad, it doesn't excell in any particular category, I imagine because of the scatter-gun approach.

In the end, I don't care too much about the Wii U, but that's not the primary reason I'm not interested.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

Scattergun is definitely partially true in that I am sticking to variety, but the topic is consistent: The Wii U.

At the same time, as BAD of an example as this will be: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno had no real focus either.  They had headlines, eBay items, celebrity guests, dollar store deals, bad inventions, and the list just goes on of such a vast variety of topics.  The only real consistency was Jay Leno's wit and sarcasm, the show itself is just a scattergun of material and segments they bring back from time to time.  I am using a similar approach, though the "consistency" is the Wii U, otherwise the topics will vary.

So having said that, my show may never be your type of show, but I WILL consistently review games, THAT you can count on

My least favorite part of the Wonderful 101 had to have been when they made you look at the gamepad and then control the camera with the motion controls. One of the most annoying things in the game. one thing that I would have mention in the video that you didn't was the lack of training you on the new drawings. I found some of the latter ones being difficult at times and the picture they gave you was not very much help. But it was overall a great game, I would have probably gone 8.5/10

Yea, the gyroscope camera handling was DEFINITELY a solid flaw, I couldn't believe how irritating those parts were after I had just gotten done kicking ass on a room of enemies, lol

While it had no consistent topic, it did have a focus: Jay Leno. And Jay Leno was Jay Leno, regardless of the topic.

In a way, you have something of the opposite; the topic is the same, but the focus shifts from episode to episode.

Yea, you need to beat Operation 003, because that's basically when the game has proven it's crazy, and then before you know it you just keep going deeper into the craziness, lol
