    Does anyone else follow the gamechasers on twitter?
    Everytime someone tweets them a picture of receipt of the DVD the gamechasers re-tweet, so essentially you end up seeing variations of the same picture everyday... which doesn't bug me too much.
    What I don't understand is people making "unboxing videos" for the DVD. I get why someone would do this for special editions of game/ new consoles in and around the time of release but for a DVD I just don't see the point.

    If its just for the dvd then no, there's zero point. If it's a game & dvd combo though, the Game Chasers asked people to do unboxing videos to show the random game they got. When you see things like Turtles in Time being bundled in with the dvd, I guess it shows that some people got some very decent games.

    Ah, this I did not realise, thanks.:)
    Still ragin I never went for that option, had no space on the CC the first time around but was lucky enough to get in the second round which was just the DVD + Bonus Disc.

    Nothing worth posting :o But still, being a huge Game Chasers fan it's pretty cool to have a game sent to me by them :o

    Did you see the guy "JewMario" (Guy who wears yellow wario hat) who does be in some of the videos died via suicide i believe the other day. Judging from the tweets it looks like he suffered from depression.

    Oh really?? :( I remember hearing the username alright, can't place the chap though. Jeez that's awful, I seen boogie2988's latest video & was wondering who he was referencing in it

    I look forward to your unboxing video ;)

    Yeah I saw some re-tweets over the weekend from the GameChasers regarding that poor guy's suicide. Some of the re-tweets referenced articles about his death but I won't repeat the stuff in case any of it isn't true.

    Myrddin doesn't do videos ;)

    But yeah, I've read more about JewWario there, the posting by his wife is pretty harrowing.

    That's terrible news :(. I've watched a few of his vids over the years and he seemed like a genuinely good guy.

    It really goes to show that we don't know what's going on in people heads, even if they seem like a bag of laughs on the outside.

    Nice to see (for no use of better words) the community coming together with all their tributes to him, he really was well liked.

    Ok, I've consolidated all the episode links into the first post in this thread. They were spread out over nearly ten pages, so they're now all listed in the first post. If you haven't watched this show yet, go ahead, treat yourself...:)

    Episode 35 added to list in the first post. Brand new episodes 36 & 37 added to list in first post also, enjoy! :) (listing them as links keeps this thread from slowing down, having so many vids embedded was causing it to lag severely)

    Never knew Space Megaforce was a rare game. Sold it on adverts for 5euro a couple of years back, hope it was to someone here.

    I don't think it's rare per se, maybe in the states it is? The Jap version is the one to have anyway, the PAL & US releases have cut scenes etc removed
