The Unknown Soldier book review

Greetings my league of vigilant readers and wievers alike.

This is the second part of that colossal trainwreck that was The Unknown Soldier.

The Unknown Soldier book review

Greetings to you my league of vigilant viewers and readers alike.

Yes this is it. The time has come when I'll give you the links to my videos on Youtube. I should give you some production notes here: making the Unknown Soldier was a pain in my ass! I hated, hated every minute of doing it 'cause I had no idea what I was doing, and unfortunately enough: it shows, someday I'll revisit this someday I'll make a commentery on this, Till then live long prosper and you've been warned!

The story of Golden Voice

Greetings my league of vigilant readers. 

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when, when I was just a wee lad, we were watching movies and tv-series from vhs-tapes (also from that black box that's also known as a TV), and since I was just a wee lad most of the movies and tv-series were dubbed. The most famous from this was Golden Voice later known as Agapio racing team, to symblozie they're prodcution values I guess. 

Now hold you're horses, I know I just said Agapio racing team, the voice over studio that made some of the worst voice overs you'll ever hear, but the thing was that the Golden Voice was actually a lot, lot better. I KNOW, right! Why? Well relax and I'll tell you. Golden Voice was a finnish voice over studio that did voice overs to following tv-series and ova's 

Alf 
Barbapapa 
Denver the last dinosaur 
Carebears
Blondie (tv-specials) 
Heman and the masters of the universe 1983 version (propably one or two vhs's 'cause I haven't seen them in finnish language.)
Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (the edited version)
Jungle book (anime OVA)
Captain N 
Heathcliff 
Beauty and the beast (WTF!!!!! Anime ova? or the Disney version? Seriously WTF!!!!!)
Lady lady!! 
Lady lovely locks (never heard of) 
Beetle Bailey 
World of Maxes
Once upon a time...-series (not including the Space since the ones that I've see are speaken in swedish so they propably only translated it)
Little Mermaid (anime OVA) 
Maple Town Monogatari
The Smurfs
Kimagure Orange Road
The all new Popeye hour
The new adventures of Flash Gordon
The Super Mario bros. Super show!
Tiny Toons
Top Cat
Dennis the Menace
Peter Pan (anime OVA)
Yakari

And now I'll admit that I haven't seen even half of these, but that's not my point, my point is that despite the fact some of the voice overs bordered on being really, really bad some of the were for finnish stantards okay like Tiny Toons, The all new Popeye hour, The Smurfs, Heathcliff, Dennis the Menace, Carebears, Little Mermaid (yes I seen it) and Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin. 


And I'll even give it to you that some of them were really, really bad like Denver the last dinosaur. And I'll even admit that Golden Voice wasn't known for it's good quality, some of the translations were really bad, having serious mistakes, and on technical standpoint they sucked - HARD! But to me there was one series that proofs all this to be not true and that's they're work on Once upon a time... a Human. WHY? 'cause I've seen both version's and I'll have to admit that even though Golden Voice had some serious problems with it, it's still a lot better than the one that YLE did, yes I KNOW! But then YLE got itself together and did execellent work with rest of the Once upon a time...-series.

And even though Golden Voice wasn't known for a great quality, it still got payed, and translated everything that Future Film had to bring Finland and even some of the tv-series 'cause Golden Voice was pretty much the cheapest option. So all through to -95 Golden Voice was doing fine, then it changed it's name to Agapio Racing team, and this is when things started to go wrong.

Up untill now Golden Voice had done decent work, but as soon as it changed it's name to Agapio racing team they're quality went downhill. Where as Golden Voice's quality ranged from decent to pretty good Agapio racing team's quality ranged from painfully bad to decent. I'll give you an example you all know Foxes Peter Pan, the one wich Nostalgia Critic has talked so fondly as one of the greatest animated series of our childhood? Yeah the reason why I never got into it was the fact that it's Finnish voice-over was horrible! 
And people started to notice this, since there allready was Production House Werne and PVP, wich did decent to really good voiceovers people started to rebel against Agapio racing team and it's rights to do voice overs were given to other Finnish voice over studios. 

Agapio racing team died pretty soon after this, only to start another studio wich name I don't really know 'cause after Agapio racing team I really stopped caring about them.

24.2.2012 My thoughts about one very well known gamer

Greetings to you and all.

If you are a vigilant viewer of my video series you should know that one of my longest running joke is Chris Bores, or as you might know him: the I rate gamer. I'm not going to talk about him too much since I trust that most of you allready know him.

What can you say about him? Nothing much, you can allready tell by the fact that I made fun about him, that he has become the puchline of Internet, just by saying he's name out loud is like talking some ancient curse or a beast that was so horrible that people of the ancient times made a law that none should say it's name.

But still there are people who like him, according to my sources these are 11-year old boys who like anyone who says the F-word and hates old games. Some have allready lot all hope on future generations, because of that, me? I haven't we all liked bad stuff when we we're kids like Pokemon anime-series. To me this is just a generation thing and they are going to grow out of I rate gamer once they realize that he's bad.

But now we come to the subject. Is he bad? Yes, yes he is. He's acting is wooden, he's "research" is like reading the "Warfare of through ages" by Montgomery of El-Alamein's chapter where he was talking about the first world war, in wich everything he said was wrong, okay maybe not all of it. But you get my point he sucks because he doesn't do he's research and he picks wrong games to hate, basicly this is the thing that I admire in mister Bores no matter what no matter how good that game mind actually be he still manages to hate it for ridicilous reasons.

 Does this mean that I like him? Of course not! He's like one of those kids in youtube who rip games apart because they think that the reason why AVGN is funny is because he says the F-word countless times in he's videos and uses toilet humour, the difference in here is this somehow mister Bores made it big, to the point we're he makes money out of it.

Yet I can still see why some people like him and I'm not talking about the 11-year old boys. If you didn't grew up with the games mister Bores is talking about you don't know and you don't care. For instance the first video of I rate gamer I ever saw was he's Contra series and since I didn't grew up with Nintendo I had no idea about the game, all I knew was that it was number 10 in the Gameheroes top 10 list of best hardest NES games so seeing he's Contra series really answered so many questions I had. It wasn't perfect I mean it's mister Bores but it did answer to my questions about Contra, okay not all of them but to most of them. And then the production values of he's video series is amazing, well for a Internet review show atleast. I mean only the Nerd or the Critic have the same production values, but unlike mister Bores they have talent.

And that's the downfall of mister Bores you'd think that by now he had learned he's lessons but no he hasn't and he never will be. Should you yell to me that I made you watch videos of mister Bores? What's the point the damage has allready been made.
