As you say, they make a lot of good comments, but it's pretty obvious that a lot of it was looked up just for the piece or pulled out of their arses. Powerstone being 4 player and showing the wrong footage is a very good indication of that as well are vague, skimpy or misleading details regarding many other games.
The Samba de Amigo quote was pretty awesome too, "on what other system could you put out one of the greatest games of all time featuring a bunch of stereotypical Mexicans." ...well, not only was that quote far more racist than the game itself ever way, but I'm pretty sure Samba de Amigo is being ported to the Nintendo Wii as we speak. I guess no one told these guys.
I have never played the game but I don't think anyone ever called it racist.
Yeah so that was sort of a BS comment.

Fell free to contact me through my blogger profile and I'll add you
Man, that guy with the stripped shirt was not funny, his points were not very valid and his attempt at humor was terrible. that vid has some things that were true but just as much silly rambling about dreamcast.
Not too bad. I disagreed with some points they made. Others were acceptable.
Powerstone was a 2 player game though. It was Powerstone 2 that was 4 player.
In the end I STILL think it was the rampant price slashing during the Dreamcast launch that really screwed stuff up. $250 vs $199? The same amount of people would have bought the Dreamcast for $50 more.

Well we don't pay you because you are an artist and probably spend the money on acrylic paint or something.

I'd spend it on more Dreamcast games. If I was paid at all.
Oh, and a new rummage video will be up in the next day or so!
