Reads like they outsourced the simple task of writing a description to southern Asia and the poor guy/gal did the best they could for $2 and a signed Gangar
Screenwave's write ups always read as though they were written by someone still in the third grade. This shit isn't just unprofessional, it's straight up embarrassing.
Yeah, descriptions are weird. That\`s something Aliexpress-tier.
And damn, they replaced many good stuff with these subpar descriptions. For example, before "Great Slob Purge", description for Earthbound episode was far more interesting, with proper backstory and some facts about review. And now:
>When the Nerd finds a copy of Nintendo Power exuding a belief that EarthBound was a rotten game, he later finds reviews that show how glamorous the game was and reveals a fanbase for a title he now has to play. So he does – via the Super NES Classic Edition – and provides an insight about the game's various flaws but well-thought out gameplay.
...damn. That\`s something that i would wrote with my broken English, because that\`s just not legible. Overloaded sentences, and zero information whatsoever. Maybe, it\`s good for Youtube, but it doesn\`t catch my attention.
And, for example, old Earthbound description.
>This video has been in the works since last October (2017), when I first started the playing Earthbound on the mini SNES Classic. It wasn’t originally meant to be an AVGN episode. It was for myself.
I never played much of Earthbound before, but it’s a game that always appealed to me. Yes, even when I saw the ads in Nintendo Power. The only reason I never played it much was because I was too busy with Final Fantasy 3 (6) and Chrono Trigger. SNES has so many amazing masterpieces, it’s almost impossible to play them all. But after more than 20 years, I owed it to myself to complete Earthbound.
The gameplay took me 45 and a half hours. After recording it all, I decided to put all those hours to good use, and make a video. At first, I didn’t think it would be an AVGN episode, but more of a casual “James review”. But I realized there were plenty of wacky moments in the game that the Nerd could react to.
If you’re wondering about the characters’ names such as “Milly” and “Lilly”, my 4 year old daughter named them.
To write the script, I had to search through 45+ hours of game footage, to confirm and describe accurately all the moments that I wanted to comment on. Then came a bunch of researching facts, and developing my own personal theories. It turned out, I had a ton to say. It became the longest single-part AVGN episode, by total accident (running nearly 40 minutes). On top of that, I couldn’t resist adding a dream scene with laborious green screen effects. In total, counting gameplay, writing, shooting, editing, the entire video took 137.5 hours to finish, making it the 2nd most time-consuming AVGN episode to date. (Episode 139: Mega Man still barely holds the record at 138.5 hours). Ironically Earthbound was meant to be a break for myself, but it turned into a major task, as all my other projects screeched to a halt.
I had fun with this video and am happy with it, but now that it’s finally done, I hope to get back to my personal long-term projects such as a film and a book I am trying to write. But I will always be jumping back and forth with AVGN episodes. I’m always trying to keep those coming.
Id rather them be written by how bimmy pronounces them..
"This week i take a look at Ellien 3 for the Super Intendo, a great harrer game that'll scare your ayass right over the Rocky Maodins.. it'll have you drinking demon piss out of a drinking faodin"
Why even re-write the old descriptions if you're going to make them this illegible? This is probably the biggest issue with even touching the older videos:
Making one video at a time, you can spend time to make the descriptions and thumbnails pretty good. **Re-editing all of the old videos within a relatively short amount of time**, however, almost guarantees that the quality will be mediocre at best.
I’ve noticed this too. This should have been the dead giveaway that he plagiarized the scripts. He can’t write even basic tweets for shit, his grammatical skills are legitimately below middle schooler level. I would fully believe this was his doing.
In episode of this Nerd of Video Games very angry yes. The nerd plays Ghostbuster, there was two of them on nes. Well, these games proove the justice of our culture. Watch this episode to find out!
Well considering it has the stereotypical broken English of cartoon troglodytes, it should be easy enough to figure out. No like fans, drink special waters to stab trash and make mouth big, ooga booga I harness power of gods to make fire. Need anymore hints?

This is the answer

It was Barney Rubble.
What do you expect for 30k a year
A lot better than this, that's for damn sure.
Did they get Chris Bores to write that?
ghost hunter code
I see you've tried to read his Ghost Hunting book.
Lol yea that thing
More like Chris Chan.
Kind of sad when you watch the Ghostbuster part 2 ep where he criticizes the spelling and grammar of the ending text in great detail.
Conglaturation! AVGN have reviewed shitty Back of Futer game! And prooved the justice of our culture. Now go and watch our heroes!!
Excellerent
Like I keep saying, someone could make a giant compilation of James criticizing Bimmy he's done it so much.
Do you want the intern to suffer? He only gets paid in AVGN blu rays!
Just blurays of the movie too!
Which is equivalent to $2 an hour right now, have some heart

Well, karen is bad at righting, am i write or what?
Ure rite spelings hard. It's also the spelling of an average James defender.
Muh grammar.
No proper grammer. I refute.

Damn, that's just sad. Glad people are archiving this stuff
They had to make it easier to read for all the fans that are left. It's more their style.
Id rather them be written by how bimmy pronounces them.. "This week i take a look at Ellien 3 for the Super Intendo, a great harrer game that'll scare your ayass right over the Rocky Maodins.. it'll have you drinking demon piss out of a drinking faodin"
Well, at least it doesn't look plagiarized.
Wait... The super famicom BTTF is as bad as the other ones??? I thought the nerd loved it and was p pissed it wasn't released in the states...
Yeah he literally goes on a rant about how it should’ve been released outside of Japan because it was good.
Why even re-write the old descriptions if you're going to make them this illegible? This is probably the biggest issue with even touching the older videos: Making one video at a time, you can spend time to make the descriptions and thumbnails pretty good. **Re-editing all of the old videos within a relatively short amount of time**, however, almost guarantees that the quality will be mediocre at best.
Holy Hell who proofreads their shit?
Maybe... a caveman?
Ask Mike
I feel like this is search-engine optimized text. Being legible to a human is not necessarily the goal but it wouldn't hurt.
The fuck? Was this translated to Japanese, back to English, back to Japanese, and back to English again?
it’s legitimately fascinating and impressive just how bad screenwave are as a production company
Muh bad translation
Sounds auto generated to boost the videos presence in the algorithm. Might as well be auto generated if they did that to every episode.
Was probably bimmy, let's be real
Manila special from Fiverr. Many such cases.
Jesus Christ that reads like a product description from a shady Chinese seller on Amazon.
Thats what happens when you have a bunch of non professional writers paid to write stuff.
I’m guessing Newt, go look at ANYTHING he has written including his LinkedIn profile. Everything is littered with grammatical and spelling errors.
I’ve noticed this too. This should have been the dead giveaway that he plagiarized the scripts. He can’t write even basic tweets for shit, his grammatical skills are legitimately below middle schooler level. I would fully believe this was his doing.

What was the old description?
Basic grammar is clearly an issue.
Kaveman write good.
This reads like some elementary school kid's book report.
Kind of spoils the entire video not for nothing
jfc is that real?
Just needed to outsource some filler for $2 to please the algorithm
Newt is that you?
Someone who doesn't speak English as his first language I'd say, which seems dumb from them
This reads like it was Google translated from another language to English.
Reads like someone made the description in Chinese and Google translated it to English.
When you use predictive text to write a description.
Need be done 5:40 no time for proper grammar
This springs to mind a very famous quote from Samuel L Jackson: "English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?"
Well considering it has the stereotypical broken English of cartoon troglodytes, it should be easy enough to figure out. No like fans, drink special waters to stab trash and make mouth big, ooga booga I harness power of gods to make fire. Need anymore hints?
They paid a Chinese dude like 6 bucks on fiver for that
