    Keep it to video game reviews only, please...

    He's very more adult than the Nostalgia Critic. Mainly he blames his generation growing up with role models like Jean Claude Van Damm.

    He's a personal favorite of mine, even after his fallout with TGWTG which I do ask not to mention here due to the controversy. I love his Ultima reviews and Final Fantasy especially. I never even actually heard of Ultima until I saw his retrospective.

    I really liked his FFX review. I liked the game, but he pointed out a lot of inconsistencies (except Tidus. Always hated him), and it made me see that the game was pretty bad compared to FFI-VI.

    Still like FFXIII an disagree with his review of it.

    I'm the same way with you on X, except I was starting to realize that on my own. I played through twice and slowly started to lose interest. Then seeing Spoony's review of it, I had to agree that it was pretty bad.

    Having stopped playing FF around halfway through XII. *still hates that game for reasons I won't go into* I never played FFXIII, but seeing his review and others complaining, I'm glad I never played it. The complaints really sounded like something I wouldn't enjoy.

    Ultima is still my favorite, especially near the end of IX when he gets emotional talking about his history with the series.

    I'll have to watch his Ultima stuff. Never seen it yet.

    Ultima is some of his best work. It's probably one of his signature reviews along with Final Fantasy. He also talks about the series with a lot more fondness until around the eighth game you won't find in the Final Fantasy series.

    Oh yeah, I hate his new video player, Springboard never loads for me, it always is making a new tab and redirecting me there every time I pause and it loads three seconds per pause. I love the guy, but I wish he changed his video player.
