I liked him trying to cram the 32x adapter into his nomad.

I love his commute to work at the beginning of the Sega Nomad video. ;D

Post by: isucamper on June 07, 2009, 11:30:16 am: I don't believe that this guy is for real.

I have to say this, because otherwise, I'll get smacked by my wife for laughing at him.

Post by: Ginsu Victim on June 07, 2009, 11:36:17 am: The first video I watched was the Neo Geo one. I thought it was real until I reached the Virtual Boy segment. That was all I had to see to know for sure it wasn't.

His real name is Nathan Barnatt and he's an actor.

Yeah. Just finished #3. I feel pretty stupid for buying this for the first few minutes. Still pretty funny though.

Seriously. I don't.

Yeah, it obviously ain't real. That dude has some gag prosthesis in his mouth...or he's just good at that kind of thing.

That's part of what's supposed to be funny. It's that over-the-top-ness. I didn't think it was really funny, either, but I can see how some might.
