I'd never heard of this guy until last week when I stumbled across one of the random videos. I've watched hours of videos over the last week 😬 It's the Game Duuuuuude!
As someone who was there at the time and saw Alex go further and further down the path of insanity, I am glad these exist and are great companion pieces next to the George Wood documentary and Geno Samuel's Chris Chan series.
Having a great time watching this a little bit each night. I came here from the Game Grumps episode and was surprised to see the clip in there. Haha I love AVGN but never knew about this guy until now
2:35:00 Youre misrepresenting the TMNT bit. He really only had trouble with the leonardo figure, which you dont have so I doubt youd be able to replicate effectively
hey, great video! i especially love the musical choices. i just wanted to let you know that shot of Mickey and Minnie on planes is from a short called Plane Crazy, which is most certainly a Disney original.
The audio quality is fine fr, your right it fits with all the game dude videos in between your commentary. I think on headphones this sounds nice but I noticed when I was watching it on my tv the audio mixing was off, but I mean other from that I would call this one of the most rewatchable TH-cam videos
24:25 people need to talk more about Asalieri (also known as Asalieri2). He is one of the OGs of the commentator community. I watched his videos religiously back then.
thanks, this video is so helpful in approaching his ruinous mess of a canon. I don't think I could navigate the various reuploads and lost media without it. I kind of like how he was willing to make changes according to the feedback he got, and explain his editing decisions. His rationale on "diddy kong is *bothering* mario" over the more explicit one, for example. Many youtubers aren't willing to do that. He shouldn't have deleted the older versions, or worried about the star rating though, that looked bad, messed his analytics and canon up, and was annoying for sure.
These videos are a goldmine. Alexander was such a strange dude, I wish he still had an internet presence. I hope he's living his best life having tons of furry sex in Hong Kong 🥲
14:03 - Good lord, I can't stop finding this shit funny. In fact, I'd even say that the clones, especially Game Dude and Pissed Off Video Gamer, are much funnier to me than the 'original channels' they're imitating could ever be. Of course, that mostly comes from the unintentional hilarity of their videos which is a result of their writing, line delivery and overall presentation. I mean, I've laughed at GD's videos far more than those of AVGN because of his nonsensical insults and analogies alongside the other factors I mentioned.
Supposedly Game Dude is homeless in Vancouver and in depressing shape right now according to a Reddit post. If that's true, highly doubt he'll be returning anytime soon unfortunately.
@@okfinebethatway Yeah, I'm not entirely convinced of it either, I'm more so just throwing out the fact that this rumor exists. At the very least it is really the only potential lead we have as to his current whereabouts beyond just the few tweets he's liked over the years.
The only time i ever encountered game dude when he was still on youtube is when i saw someone claim that a channel that had reposted a bunch of low wuality video game songs was his because the first video on the channel was the game dude theme song extended
The Game Dude saga is as addictive as the tv show Law&Order😮 Y'all I'm hooked. I'm snacking on a pint of Haagen Daz while giddily binge watching this amazing train wreck👀
the PNW region has some really weird accent quirks, lots of vowel drift like that. it's really annoying. knew a guy who grew up in Kirkland (seatle suburb) who did the thing where he pronounced pillow as "pellow". drove me nuts
In your first part you mention doing a ranking of all his reviews, is this video unlisted? Because ure definitely not talking about the later chapter as thats completely different
@@okfinebethatway ah wait my bad. What you said was that it was an episode list and i just forgot you made a list earlier in the documentary Anyway I also had another question for you: this is probably not something you want to share but where can I find the video of Alanna’s interview with the police? Im curious as to her side of the story because Game Dude gives a skewed account and one of the few flaws in your documentary is that you dont tell us her perspective, or if you do you dont differentiate when you are recounting his and when it’s hers. Im also curious as to how you encountered these videos - being a fan of game dude, where you just horrified by his channel uploading this weird shit and that made you archive them? Or were you subbed to a whole bunch of these different channels and just archived what was there years later? Im currently watching all the follow ups via this video and really enjoying it. The thing it seems with game dude is i came round to agreeing with you that his videos compared to other avgn clones of the time were way better produced and acted. The thing with Alex is he has a lot of technical knowhow but not a lot of talent, ala Brentalfloss, which is why his vids have a workman like quality and dont flow well Edit: wait im an idiot i rewatched the lost content segment and u already clarified u didnt have that. Plus that explains why her side couldnt be told. My apologies!
Lol I recognized one of the locations because I saw a financial center/centre close to my hotel on Pender (visited Vancouver a few months ago) Edit: I actually walked the route without knowing it. Just in the opposite way towards Pacific Centre.
Does anyone else find it hilarious that the Irate Gamer seemed incensed that GamerDude didn't credit him as inspiration at the end of his videos like he did with Angry Videogame Nerd?
@@okfinebethatway damn shame. Wonder if we ever will know. Heard a rumor that he's basically on lock down under his parents watch, but I don't think we'll ever know.
@@mostverticalproductions4808 I've everything from that to he's homeless in Vancouver to he's off in Hong Kong still to he's highly medicated in a mental ward and a bunch of other things. I won't trust anything without definitive proof though.
One minor nitpick... You use the same tone of voice when you are quoting someone. You should say "Quote," and "endquote" when you do that so we know when you're done quoting someone.
The most basic russian translation for the times, i guess. I only chuckled when he said "Holy cornflowers" instead of whatever Alex said originally. I'm not sure why it was translated, but, i guess, some people was desperate for some AVGN content. I remember time when MOST of westerner revies was translate with cheap level of voice acting.
Even tho you don't want to say what happened to Alanna after, i looked her very easily and it's safe to say she has a better career and financial stability than Alex does. Too bad her work that she made is not good and the interview she made (its on TH-cam right now) is just a barrel of laughs (sarcasm).
Was Alexander raised Muslim? He has an Arabic last name, is circumcised, and he states that he didn't date until later in life due to religious reasons.
I seem to remember him saying he was a Christian on his Tagged profile but I could be misremembering since that was years ago. That, or he could have parents from different backgrounds.
@@gbalph4 Not in some places, if he left and ditched town, he could still be prosecuted when he returned. In that situation, the clock resumes and in some places, even starts over.
@@okfinebethatway old ladies are not strong theyre weak, unbelivable. also how the fuck did she end up in past? so stupid. the only good thing about the movies were the German mom, i love filthy hot german mothers.
If the ‘Alanna’ that drove Game Dude insane is the same ‘Alanna’ my cursory Google search turned up (I was curious) then all I can say is he had a lucky escape because the latter boasts about being into ‘social justice’, ‘environmentalism’, blah blah blah. She sounds like a right old barrel ‘o laughs. 😔
@@scheddoc to be honest, I kind of thought me bringing up my mispronunciations in general was cringy in retrospect, but the fact I made that mistake makes it unintentionally hilarious so I'm glad I did it.
I found a channel that was created on 2015 where in my opinion it might be Game Dude because to me they have an almost identical accent. www.youtube.com/@PolygonDonut
I can’t pay attention in school but I can sure watch a 5 hour video about the game dude #kony2012
You will pass Studies in Basic Game Reviewing. Also Advanced Satan Bottling.
Lol
I just remembered that Alexander4488 was going to collab with Irat Gamer for a parody of Irate Gamer’s Q-Bert video.
I'd never heard of the iratgamer so i looked him up. it's fucking MattKC. My mind is blown.
26:22 Dear Nerd, I wrote you but you still ain’t calling
Oh my that's funny
I left my profile, my likes, and my comment scroll at the bottom.
I'd never heard of this guy until last week when I stumbled across one of the random videos. I've watched hours of videos over the last week 😬
It's the Game Duuuuuude!
All right, thanks for putting these all in one video, it's appreciated!
16:03 what if Alex is actually the man behind the silent hill circumcision theory
Glad I’m not the only one who immediately thought of that whole saga 😂
"The gamer with a bad attitude" really doesn't narrow things down, Game Dude
As someone who was there at the time and saw Alex go further and further down the path of insanity, I am glad these exist and are great companion pieces next to the George Wood documentary and Geno Samuel's Chris Chan series.
Doctor: You only have 5 hours to live
Me:
and cannot even finish it in 5 hours ._.
I got this in my recomended today and it has been a blessing to have it on the background while drawing, great video man

Some say when this eventually finishes Game Dude will return...
if gamedude is to return i hope he mentions your channel, since you are the number1 gamedude fan account.
Number 1 in the devil's grasp
Surely, if we stretch the definition of fan, his biggest fans are the Canadian Police Force?
hey, great video! i especially love the musical choices. i just wanted to let you know that shot of Mickey and Minnie on planes is from a short called Plane Crazy, which is most certainly a Disney original.
I was referencing the clip where Mickey says "ooooh, that does it!" But that still was Disney. Its from Mickey Mouseworks.
@@okfinebethatway ahh, oopsie! well then, even greater video!
So now we know where Game Dude was hidng the whole time. Literally living rent free in your head XD
But seriously, great work :D
Very underrated video

I've heard that rumor but until someone provides me with concrete evidence (or at the very least, debatable evidence) I don't believe it to be true.
Need to track him down

will you make a video on your favorite Game Dude moments or quotes?
I plan to make something like that down the line yes. Right now the blog reading is a big enough undertaking on its own haha.
you really are dedicated to the Game Dude. Nice compilation though :)
All I'm saying is that no one has ever seen pat contri and the game dude in the same room at the same time
Game dude is an unintentional comedy genius……. You could hire the best comedy writers ever and they wouldn’t be able to replicate him
I wonder if he ever saw thr Barbie movie, and if he still thiught she was scary...
26:21 hehe what a silly question *remembers it's game dude* HOLY SHIT

Y'all I'm hooked. I'm snacking on a pint of Haagen Daz while giddily binge watching this amazing train wreck👀
Why does game dude pronounce "tagged" like /tɛ:gd/? Feel like I've maybe heard some Philly guys talk like this, but never a Canadian.

1:41:13 hey man you are actually mispronouncing "pronunciation". look at how it's spelled carefully. pro-NUN-see-ay-shun. NOT "pronounce-iation"
Why in the name would anyone post their dating profile on youtube? Makes sense with someone as insecure as Alexander4488, but Jesus.

Is game dude technically a criminal? If not I'm surprised he hasn't come back.

I just realized gamedude sounds like projared's less successful cousin. But yeah, same inflection in their voices if you look at early projared videos
And something I realized as a bonus: both their fanbases found out way too much information that they put out about their schlongs
