Spread the Love: Game Grumps

If you are one of the three people in the whole world who play games and HAVEN'T heard of this you are seriously missing out. Game Grumps is a comedic youtube video game show that is a collaboration between two of the funniest guys in gaming media: Egoraptor and JonTron. They take some classic gaming favorites, and play them, and talk over it. Super simple, right? but its sooooooo much more. Well the combination of their brilliant comedic minds, their long history of game involvement and hilarious personalities makes for hours of crazy fun.

They play a huge variety of games ranging from NES classics even up to Super Smash Brothers Brawl. The videos are just the right length to watch and be entertained but doesn't require the intellectual commitment of an intense analysis. They release new content daily, and I guarantee non-stop laughs, and some serious nostalgia when they play your favorite classics of yesteryear.

Seriously. Just go. Watch one, watch them all and I guarantee you will not be sad you did. But I'm warning you now, you might get hooked!

**PS: I will have another post coming up about podcasts, reviews, streaming and some more added features that will be coming soon to Color Blind Gamer**

Spread the Love: Sequelitis

Sequelitis is an animated video series that compares and analyzes game sequels from Egoraptor, the brilliant mind that brought you The Awesome Series. There are only a handful of episodes, but they are all extremely well thought out, insightful and absolutely hilarious. Being an animator and voice actor by trade, he really imparts his hilarious and ‘awesome’ style into these videos, but does so without sacrificing an intelligent conversation about game design.

They are lengthy as far as YouTube game reviews go, and for future reference VERY NSFW, but with only a few episodes and such fantastic content they are all worth watching; Worth watching many, many, many and many more times. They are so much more than game reviews, and so much more than just funny videos about games. I still to this day have yet to find another video series that balances insight and entertainment as perfectly as Sequelitis.

This episode features one of my personal all-time favorite games: Mega Man X, the first reimagining of the aging Mega Man series for the NES. It’s a great game, that’s a reimagining of a great series that created another great series that still holds a special place in my heart. Just watch it, watch the other one, bust out the SNES and destroy some Maser Robots!
