The Curse (Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast) Borderline Forever is very much neck and neck but I found The Curse to be hilarious

Edit: Also Chibi Robo: Ziplash was awesome

Why does he hate Donald Duck so much??

For the most random reason, Borderline Forever. For the longest time, I only watched YouTube on my TV- it was one of my end of night routines, and I had a few channels that I always kept up to date with. Now, I have to note that the TV I owned, for many years, was a super cheap 50" TV I bought from Walmart during Black Friday . It wasn't great, but it was the first TV I bought myself when I started living on my own. One of the quirks of that TV was that the bezel actually extended over the screen and covered some of it. It wasn't ever really an issue, but every now and again, I'd be aware of it. So, you can imagine my absolute surprise to learn that the blue border which was on all his thumbnails was actually part of his videos as well- a whole episode to highlight something I had been completely unaware of for hundreds of episodes. I honestly don't remember much of the episode, but it was a big reason I ended up buying a new TV ๐Ÿคญ

You sure it wasn't just overscan and not that the bezels physically covered that part of the screen?

[โ€“] Vibi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I actually still own the TV and researched the issue off and on for years. It's just a design flaw and why they were offered during that Black Friday sale. I've gone through every menu and upgraded the fw; it's just the way it is ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Nothing will ever top the 200th Scott the Woz episode, Borderline Forever. Not only is the blue border around all of Scott's videos the main focus of the episode, but it actually feels like a full Hollywood production. There are so many references and gags to Scott's older videos, and he didn't get just one cameo, he got multiple, most notable ones being the Angry Video Game Nerd (James Rolfe), Brett Favre from the cover of Madden '09, as well as Vince Young from the cover of the Madden game released the previous year (Madden '08). Not to mention the fact that Scott and his friends wrote the entire script themselves. In the video, Scott loses his sanity over the fact that his vision is being blocked by the blue border, and he tries to not only understand it but to also get rid of it and get it out of his life and his videos. The most noteable part of this video, however, are the songs. This makes me want a goddamn Scott the Woz musical so badly. You have the headliner "Stupid Nintendo Games" along with its reprisal at the end, "Closing In", and "Might As Well", all incredible songs. It literally feels like a full-on musical with the feeling of these songs. It truly feels like the better version of a Disney Musical. It is clear to me that it isn't just a Scott the Woz movie. It's a celebration of the entire series in general to commemorate its 200th episode. The episode looks both into the past of the series, as well as looks to the future and sets the stage for future episodes. Don't forget the fact that Scott also held a contest for his fans on Twitter where they could submit 3 second video clips of them pretending to be in an earthquake that would be shown in the full movie. You know all of those videos in the news report of the people in "Ohio" experiencing an earthquake? Those were the contest winners. They were included as extra little cameos.

I'm sorry, but Borderline Forever is easily the best episode of Scott the Woz and nothing will ever come close.

I love the top comment on YouTube.

Is this for real? Since when does IMDb rate YT videos?

[โ€“] Tech_Issus@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

While I absolutely agree, I feel the need to say (in my opinion) that 2nd and 3rd place should go to Not An RPG Guy, and Great Mysteries Of Gaming respectively, from the songs "why don't you play them" to the start of the Madden '08 gag, these are among my personal favorites

I didn't know that, in this context, "Woz" was short for "Wozniak." Hopefully he's enjoying that Apple legacy!
