I have to admit, I'm indifferent at this point. I like that this is serious, and I think I just need time for the video to grow on me.

However I think that the comments on your... er... comments is uncalled for. It comes off a tad petty, but it's your style. I'm just going to state my opinion.

As for the rank system, I've always found the simpler systems better, but I would recommend doing what works best for you. After all, that's the best way for it to work is if it's your own original system, but hey, again my opinion.

Good luck Aussie. I really hope to like you in time.

It's all about style and approach
written by m60462a , August 21, 2008
Riz's approach isn't for everyone and he'd probably be the first to admit that. But no one can deny he's got a unique "in your face" style that grabs your attention.

I'm a big fan, and I bet I'm not alone..

"Riz out!"

Thanks for responding to my comment (certainly didn't expect a direct response) and I don't care how my name is pronounced, do don't worry about that.

And thanks for taking my suggestion on the intro video. I've already warmed up to you a tad more. And I think it's cool That Guy is allowing this website to branch off into other areas of style.

And seeing your response to the other comment, I now understand why the use of a different camera style. And now watching another one of your videos, it doesn't bother me as much.

And yeah, I've never been to Australia, so I didn't know that. My biggest exposure to Australians have been Steve Irwin and the Crocodile Dundee films.

Anyway, nice intro and I'm curious as to what you will do next.

Yea, I like your style myself. There's a few on this site that I could take it or leave it, but I reckon you're pretty good and getting better smilies/tongue.gif

As to the people that complain about you, well, in the immortal words of Bernard Manning, "Get fucked."

Good Review
written by normality , August 25, 2008
Hah, finnally another aussie sets foot into the interwebs. I thought that it was funny that you made mention about how fast aussies tend to speak - not something that I honsetly noticed, but now that you mention it, I guess it's rather true.

Anyhoo, I like your style of review, and personally I think the filter is a rather cool effect. The only nit-pick that I can make about your reviews is that the games that your reviewing - in my humble oppinion - arn't really what I would refer to as mainstream. Personally, in future it would be good to see some 'popular' games get reviewed that I would be able to relate to. Eg: Halo - A series I hate, but one that I know has a much larger audiance and fanbase, thus having a larger effect.

I would also be interested in seeing which games you would classify as a 10 rating or a 0. At the same time, this would give myslef - the viewer - an insight into personal tastes and what you like/don't like in general about the gaming world. Maybie a retro-spective on your all time fav - and least fav - game would be a good thing to do? I know that I would be interested in seeing those reviews.

Anyway, thats all from me.
Good luck mate,

Lachlan.

500 VARIABLES TO THE AWESOME THAT IS HE!
written by sakiimi , August 30, 2008
I'll admit it, I LOVE Aussie's reviews! Swift, simple and to the point. That's all I want out of a serious game review. It also helps that there's humor in there... (and if you guys aren't catching it... maybe it's a bit over your heads?)

BUT... I'm have to tell you Dan, I'm reporting you to P.I.T.A. I don't think you're keeping that monkey in good condition and I won't stand for that, no matter how cool you are!! D:

Now I loe you...
written by LordVonQuack , September 02, 2008
After some deep thought, 10 views later, and $20 more in my pocket, I now love ThatAussieGuy! He's so awesome! YEAH! But really, he is rather entertaining, and I now "get him". I enjoy his reviews now that I know why he exists here, and he exists for one major reason.

Super sexy accent. No homo.

No, actually he's here because he's intelligent, and quite humorous even if he denies it. Afterall, it's only by his assistance that many of the best Horri kicks exist.

Seriously, www.kickhorri.com still makes me laugh. YEAH!

The black and white are my fav combo, your accent is understandable even with your speed and including i am not born or AM at the moment english, AND leaving in a country that we do not talk english occasionally...
You style is good, you don't runt and you are here just to say your opinion, and for us to say our's back, which is new. smilies/cool.gif

in Less words: Looking forward to your future videos, love your stuff, i just don't have enough time to comment everywhere. smilies/cheesy.gif

in Least words: MAKE. MORE. smilies/grin.gif

ah ha
written by KronosIII , September 22, 2008
Well now I know what you are going for in reviews. Its good, but sadly its not going lure in a load of fans. People want to laugh or people want to watch action. Hard to do action without a budget so its down to laughs. And on your Brawl review you really did not say any negatives about it. I don't hate you at all, I just think you can push it more. Like the monkey joke was alright at the ending.

Different is good!
written by Shadowdancer21b , October 17, 2008
Variety, as they say, is the spice of life, and one must have different spices to have a full flavor(ie. life). I like it. I like the monochrome filter, too. Keep up good stuff Aussie!
