YouTube does the advertising based on my tags, so it's automatically engaged once monetization is turned on.

I already review indie games, btw...

Really? Which ones?

 

When does monetization turn on? 1,000 views....

It's on all the time, lol

Twili Midna is just so fine! Oh, and some other stuff about the season pass. Lots of other stuff, fortunately!

I always enjoy your reviews. You're a pretty funny dude. I have to respectfully disagree about the value of the DLC though. It nearly triples the content of the entire game and for $20, that is a steal. It gives tens of hours of extra gameplay. 

I went lazy and copy-pasted my response to this statement from somewhere else, lol

"It doesn't triple the content, though... It adds no new stages (the biggest content portion of the main game), it adds four new playable characters (Ganon is mode-specific) to an existing 16 characters, a couple new weapons to 20+ existing ones, two new challenge modes, and three adventure mode maps.

It gives you a lot of content, yes, but it doesn't triple the main game, lol"

Content isn't always measured in hours: this is because a person who loves the game may get 100s of hours out of it while a person who only likes it as an occasional boot-up gets 20 hours.  Here's a super simplified example of what I mean:

If a game had 10 different levels, each lasting 1 minute long, then the game is 10 minutes long.  If a DLC pack costing, say 1/3 the main game, added just ONE level that lasted 10 minutes, is that one level the equivalent content of the 10 different levels of the main game?  Of course no one would say that it is, they'd just say that the DLC level is a really long level.

I hope that helps explain my philosophy on the matter, though you'll probably continue to respectfully disagree, hahaha xD

I understand where you are coming from, but yes, I still respectfully disagree :P.

Keep up the good work with the videos!

Review a retro game. And by retro I mean Metroid.

That was subtle, wasn't it?

Super Metroid is so overrated imo.

Fusion is the much better game and it has great non-verbal story telling (the foreshadowing of Nightmare, the SA-X encounters, your friends from Super Metroid rescueing you at the end, etc.). Only the music is better in Super Metroid (and the final boss). Plus there's still exploration in Fusion, especially near the end the computer stops telling you where to go. The rooms to unlock the colored doors are also never put on the map (which pretty much every reviewer seems to forget when they talk about the linearity of Fusion). It also has one of the best stories in a Metroid game. And the controls are far better in Fusion than in Super Metroid. Graphically it's not even a contest.

I love how vulnerable Samus is in this game. Only matched by Zero Suit Samus in Zero Mission.

Review the Prime games then, you have an excuse now (they're on the Wii U VC).

So you want me to review things just so you can argue it? Pffffff, hahaha

I've already said to someone else who asked for the exact same thing that I have no plans on buying the Prime trilogy since I played the hell out of the originals.  You want it reviewed, you'd have to provide the "review copy" in this case, lol

Why would you sell your Prime games lol?

Wii games still work on Wii U. Prime 3 at least if you don't own the Trilogy set.

I'll take a ten second vid that states Prime 2 is superior to Prime 1. :p
