Blackest Night Review (Commentary)

I love Black Lantern Spoony! We need more of him! :D

That game that was never made, Star Trek V was reviewed by PlayitBogart. I haven't seen much of his videos in a long time, but the ones he made were pretty good.

Well, I had no idea what that song was, but thanks to you and youtube I now a) know it and b) will probably have it stuck in my head for a while. Thanks a lot. :)

Also, it's always nice to learn about people with parents who work(ed) at Boeing. Both of mine do/did.

Finally, crossovers are amazing and should happen as much as possible. The Alone in the Dark review was one of the funniest reviews I've seen because the three of you were obviously having so much fun reviewing together. By your powers combined!

I totally own The Avengers on Genesis. It's underwater arrow ballin!

wAE

I had the Avengers game for Genesis, which originally was my theory for why you never saw it on home-consoles, but apparently it was also released on SNES. Hawkeye is epically hardcore, and what I always cite for that is the same fingernail trick.
Now, Sonic I've always liked, and didn't have a problem with the level design or running into things all of a sudden, at least in the older games. That aspect has gotten MUCH worse in the handheld games, due in part to the fact that the speed of play is about triple of what it used to be, and they're zoom'd in more, AND they've let their level design slip more and more as time went on. What I always love about new Sonic games is this: everyone in the entire Sonic universe is cooler, more interesting, more powerful, more something than Sonic. Tails, Ray, Charmy and Cream (best under-the-radar innuendo ever, thanks SEGA) can all fly, Charmy has a stinger, Cream has a battle-slave that rapes whatever you look at with the press of a button, even in the combat game attempt Sonic Battle, Knuckles is super-strong and can glide, sticks to walls, and has naturally spiked fists, Shadow cheatingly warps time and space on a whim, and so on, but the best, the BEST example is a recent character Blaze the cat. She can surround herself in a pillar of fire at will, has the manual dexterity to run in high-heel'd boots, can project the fire behind her to rocket forward like a comet or down to slow her decent when falling. What does Sonic have? He's fast. Just like everyone else in the games. The gameplay is the same speed no matter what character you play as. Should not be the main character.

I never liked the Sonic games either. Still don't.

Wow good comentary. BTW I live down the street from golfland. The upper levle is lazer tag now, but we still call it "water loo"... also San Dimas high school is Coronado high in Phoenix. Lots of AZ locations in Bill & Ted. Love that movie.

I didn't notice the B7 reference the first time around, thanks for pointing that out. I'm a huge fan of Terry Nation/Doctor Who/Blake's 7 (yeah...in case you were wondering).

Linkara got that "of course" from an episode of the Spiderman animated series. it was a flashback where they explain the origins of Captain America.

captian america and the advengers also came out on the genesis. it's one of the very few games that ive played as a child that ive seen in any retro video game critics' video. it seems that no one else has heard of most of the obscure, rare games ive played, even critics like u 2

Avengers was released on a console it was for the Genisis i use to have it and yes hawkeye is a total bad ass! i use to fight for him and oddly always got him! my friend liked cap, and my bro liked ironman but did release it to genisis, wasn't near as awesome as the arcade though... one i always wanted was xmen game though! and Simpson arcade game i sit anxiously waiting for a port to ps3 or xbox 360 but may never happen! but i can dream!

Love commentary nice and dont be so hard on yourself, crap happens just trudge though it and learn from it!

I don't care what other folks may say- you and Linkara make one helluva team! And Dr. Insano is my favorite original character of yours!

There is also an Advengers game for NES Awsome game

I also had the Captain America and the Avengers game for the SNES, but (unfortunately) sold it a while ago. Back then, I didn't know who Vision was, but I definitely knew Iron Man, Cap and FRIGGIN HARDCORE Hawkeye. I loved the underwater arrows as a kid and chortled for a long time when I saw that on the original video.

Yup, there was definitely an Avengers game for the SNES. good times.

I had Captain America and The Avengers for SNES, found it at a flea market when i was a kid, back then I didn't know comics in the least bit so the only characters I played as were Iron Man and Captain America. The other two I just called white guy and weird robin hood dude.

you know, i think the avengers was on sega too come to think of it. i remember playing it and wondering who the hell the guy in white was when i was about 6 or so.

yeah Captain America and the Avengers is on SNES and it's AWESOME. I played the Arcade game at a pizza place as a kid, then when I was a bit older I happened to find the SNES game in a bargain bin and bought it immediately.

I had a game gear as a kid.Only games I had for it were shaq-fu and columns.

.

the mighty avenger game was released on on the super nintendo it is called captain america and the avengers me and my brother used to play it all the time

Portable Sonic was the HARDEST game I played for a portable system. Kudo's to beating it.

Personally I loled at the single random title card. Not sure I would have found it as funny as a running bit.

I'm definitely digging this crossover stuff. You showing up in other peoples' videos seems to instantly make them more awesome.

@ the ODD fox & Kyanite009

Wow... yeah Eagle Cave! went there when i was in the cub scouts. man nostalgia lol. The game i remember the most from that room was Golden Axe, because i never found it anywhere else.

And they had this goat at the cave for some reason, but yes... memories...

I always love these commentaries.
Keep doing the cross overs. I like Linkara. And it's obvious that I like you.
Anything that has Spoony crossoverwise is cool.

I love these commentary tracks, Spoony. I usually don't like behind-the-scenes footage or commentary, but bits like this are cool because we get to know a little more about whoever's in the video. It's a neat seperation from "Spoony" to "Noah" and "Linkara" to "Louis." Like a superhero revealing his secret identity (Yes, I went there.)

For what it's worth, I like Linkara, though I have to admit I backtracked from you to Nostalgia Critic to Linkara. (I still remember the first time a friend showed me Samurai Zombie Nation; it wasn't until months later we found out you had other stuff. Hurray for YouTube back then!) I like whenever crossovers happen because they're interesting; as long as you guys are having fun, I think it ends up being fun for me too.

Keep on keeping on.

@ Kyanite009

holy crap, Eagle Cave... memories returning... I remember that little game room, blew my cash away when we were over there one weekend trip, but spent that cash on Area 51, now I found a place where I'm currently at where I can play that game one quarter at a time.

None-the-less memories...

It was PayItBogart who did that Review of the Star Trek 5 game

I don't like Linkara but I like comic books and he's the only real comic book review (Angry Geek sucks so much I try not and acknowledge that he exists) so I just kind of have to put up with Linkara and his horrible excuse for "acting"

i remember renting the Avengers game for the SNES and i don't think i waited to see the little blooper of Linkara botched throwing.....he should work on his Dex.

Dude! You're right! Hawkeye was the major badass of those games. I don't know why nobody else liked him other than, "Oh, he just shoots arrows. Whoop dee doo!" I think Hawkeye would probably be able to pull off the nailing-a-knight-to-a-tree bit that was in 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights'.
I've played the X-Men arcade game as well. I was actually in Wisconsin for that, sleeping inside of Eagle Cave, and they had the game set up in a game room outside the cave. That'd be nice to have at a party...or better yet, get the six player version. There's also Revolution X...ya know, that game where you have to save Aerosmith with guns THAT SHOOT CD'S! I'd actually load quarters into both guns and dual wield. I thought that was bad ass the first time I seen that in Goldeneye for the N64. Trailing off like you do...
Sadly, never played the Spiderman game. I have Spiderman 2 on the Gameboy. Does that count?
Not much of a Sega fan myself...and, yes, it is level memorization. Uniracers pulled off that sort of thing on the SNES as well. I remember the Genesis for Rocket Knight Adventures, Comix Zone, and Kid Chameleon...and Sonic, obviously...and some game where you're a brown gorilla. Played it once, but I'll never forget it. In the battle of SNES vs Genesis, I would say the SNES wins, mainly due to sound quality on a lot of the games that were on both systems. Sure, Mortal Kombat had blood on the Genesis, but that's what GameGenies are for. Back to the sound quality bit...yeah, ever play Street Fighter II on the SNES...and then play it on the Genesis? Oh dear god! How did they let that happen? That's it. I'm gonna go play Mega Man X again. I will admit though...I did like some of the songs from the Sonic series. I know a few sites where you can get stuff like that, if anybody's interested.
Finger nails to the throat! HAAA!!!
