Tribute to George Wood

[videogamenostalgia]

He's not dead. It was a ploy to extract views and sympathy. The Wii came out one year after this video claims he died.

[RokkerBoyy]

im not buying it, i dont think he died i mean thismeans he would have had less than two months to review the wii which came out november 19, 2006, and he made a cooking mama reference which did not come out on wii til early 2007 and navgtr has had way too much of a "lets make fun of this" attitude about him

[Flipolopolis]

George! I love you! And i know you aren't dead. Navgtr is a bunch of assholes for saying that.

[DoctorHadoken]

R.I.P. best game reviewer in history

[ninjachipzanuff]

this guy is fucking scary

[TheReturnOfGse9]

Well, at least he still has hair here. Massive receding hairline, but still... hair.

[TheBlackYousa]

This man scares me a bit

[derekxnl]

Is it just me or does he somewhat resemble Jack Nicholson in those sunglasses?

[Zellig]

lol this is the best video game trolling experiment ever XD

[speedingtime]

Unless he died after 2008 of course, but Navgtr's uploaded a lot of videos poking fun at him like watch?v=CDecbeTffVY so I doubt it.

[speedingtime]

Search for Proof that George Wood is still alive. He's still with us.

[RandomProductionsX1]

I AM TODAY REVIEWING MY LIFE. THERE ARE A MILLION FLAWS WITH MY LIFE BUT LET ME POINT OUT THE FEW. NUMBER ONE MY LIFES GRAPHICS SUCK THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE ME WANT TO PLAY THE EFFIN GAME. SECOND YOU CAN NOT CHEAT IN THE GAME WHICH MAKES THIS THE WORST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES. FINALLY EVERYTIME YOU REACH AN OLD AGE YOU GET A GAME OVER! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT FOR? I WISH I HAD A CHEAT TO MAKE THE GAME EASIER. WELL THATS ALL. ( Runtime: 50 seconds)

[BiasedVGBlog]

Tomb Raider 2 breast cancer remark strikes back at George Wood and he dies of cancer

[leauxbert]

@capKcan Huh?

[gillianseed]

Motherfucker said Mario 64 was better than Resident Evil!

[joesmomisdead]

was this directed by Tim and Eric?

[Cshizzle94]

He also compared Twisted Metal to James Bond!

[tehwaesle]

What the hell is this crap?

[akumatiti]

George Wood isnt dead

[cb19882000]

yeah i know that but only when the game is good should you buy it for the multplayer stuff not cod you shouldnt buy the same damn game every year

[liquid0001]

Nobody buys games for multiplayer hahahahahahaha

[WaffleKogen]

Someone go on the cruise and see if he is there.

[SenorSlopez]

George Wood died over three years ago...

[NickandSasuke]

How can you believe these two? I'm the real George Wood. Those two people that have front-loaded anvils aren't even worth getting breast cancer! It would flesh out -no pun intended- their characters!

[papergirlthoughts]

I feel my identity has been stolen. I'M GEORGE WOOD.

[fingrid]

Thank gods for DKC and TR2 reviews. Thanks for retsupurae.

[NeoSquadillah]

george wood is a dirty old fuck. imagine that

[JisakuJ]

George wood owns

[Jakeallen86]

Wood isn't dead everyone.

[Havermayer]

@Jakeallen86

Another video purports to show him discussing President Obama. I wonder what's up with that?

[zidaneff]

I don't feel bad in the least for calling a dead guy an asshole

[RabdonFilms]

Breast cancer research? Seriously, this is a troll channel :V

[FinalGamerJames]

Oddly enough the only way I recognised him was via the weird sneer he makes whenever he says "or".

[xBlackxZerox]

A tribute to a f***ing stupid "videogame reviewer" who knows shit about the videogames that he "reviews"? Why bother?

[RonnyWho]

You're a fucking idiot. Just die already.

[thesoul55]

@RonnyWho

If you believe this man is a idiot, THEN YOU ARE STUPID! Yes I know it's insulting but its also the truth.

[RonnyWho]

@thesoul55 LOL you legend.

[MitchZer0II]

So George, how about that breast cancer and Laura Croft's wire framed body?

[syxodude91]

wow didnt know he died

[syxodude91]

@syxodude91 wait. nevermind, i heard he's still alive

[DarkknightChris]

Either Navgtr(the video uploaded not narrator) made a typo and ment George Wood die in 2009 instead or he is pulling a Joaquin Phoenix on us and will announced he is not dead on that cruise trip at the end of the roasting. Maybe it's what WTFBOOMDOOM said and this is simply a tribute.

[ZoomingDakota]

Oh god, the annonation at 1:43 He really does know how to take a joke now doesn't he?

[ArchangelDrake]

54 Viewers didn't like this video, and they are STUPID.

[OldPangYau]

He's still alive... hell, I'm watching a "vote for your favorite show!" video on Bowie, Maryland's local access channel! They're talking about the "2010 Dottie Awards"... I doubt George Wood was planning four years in advance for a 2010 awards show.

[Saintnick90]

Well, since everybody's responding to my comment, let me clarify: I know the Wii came out in 2006, but it came out late in 2006, so I figured this video was either a lie or he received an advanced copy (which is suspicious because he looks pretty healthy.)

But it doesn't matter. Evidence has since come up that George Wood is still alive.

[TheCommentGuy8]

is George wood dead?

[visionimagify]

@TheCommentGuy8 It's a hoax..

[Jakeallen86]

@TheCommentGuy8 No Unless he died sometime in 2010, because there is a video clip with him doing an interview about obama in 09

[zeldajunkielol2]

@TheCommentGuy8 I don't think he is. I think they're trying to pretend he's dead.

[papergirlthoughts]

@TheCommentGuy8 No, I'm George Wood!

[MizfitZer0]

@TheCommentGuy8 yes, he died of cancer. ppl bash him, but he was a reviewer in the early 90's he was featured on a gamereview show called flights of fantasy, they recently got him to come bk to do sum later reviews like the wii ect. ppl say hes an avgn ripoff ect, even tho he was out on tv 15 years ago...remember back then co-op games were not popular, times have changed and ppl rat his reviews like he was refering to them today but infact he was saying it back in the 90's...

[leauxbert]

@TheCommentGuy8 Yup, died in 2006.

[leauxbert]

61 people didn't hear Sophia chirp.

[HyperNessie]

@TheCommentGuy8 Yes.

[DimitrisP99]

@TheCommentGuy8 yes he died in 2005

[shmoozii]

@TheCommentGuy8 yep

[XD00155]

@TheCommentGuy8 no

[tohopes]

"We'll see ya next year for the seventh-", meaning they were filming this for the sixth NAViGaTR awards, which were in 2006.

[Bastiest]

Well, what he said about FFXII is pretty much true.

I did enjoy the story but damn, I seriously hated the MMORPG style gameplay that just don't belong in to final fantasy.

[umk23]

He's alive, he talks about a boat and Cloris Leachman, and now he's the leader of these assholes.

[umk23]

in 2007.

[Cheshirecat55]

@NostalgiaMan4000 In which he gets breast cancer.

[DarkknightChris]

It's sad he is dead but lease he gave some good laughs on his reviews.

[LCMphantom]

@DarkknightChris

lol yeah, his reviews were SO bad, ill never forget them. Especially his super smash bros review xD

[soupernoodle]

George Wood invented trolling.

[jameshunter93]

haha

you guys insulting him and saying you're glad he's dead are serious fucking losers.

So what if he didn't like the video games you did or didn't know what he was talking about. Are your lives really that empty that you can't stand someone talking about your favourite game?

[DoctorKamenev]

Dude... he might have been a shitty reviewer, but that's no reason to bash on him after he's dead.

Have some respect! In my opinion, there was something nice about his awful, naive narrative style.

[DoctorKamenev]

@DoctorKamenev ...if he is dead.

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

Wow...to his dying breath, George Wood remained a complete and utter tool. Sad man. Really sad.

[mrnintendo88]

SOMEONE KILL THIS AWFUL SHIT FUCKER!!!

[TonyBranston]

You're not supposed to be standing so close to the green screen that we see a shadow.

[DonZabu]

I miss him already. :'(

[zydricpurdy]

i dont believe that he is dead.....navgtr=fail

[TheJ1MBO26]

seriously is there something wrong with this guy because who the hell would dye their hair orange

go i would hate to see his private life

[xFIRERUSHx]

aw shit! lol...

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

He was unfunny when he was alive, and his legacy of unfunny BS will continue now that he's one eternal nap time.

[ZeetherKID77]

THEY TROLLED US

[BigEOT3]

George Wood, under Chris Chan, but above Angry Movie Dork, but that's not saying much.

[xXDarkFire7Xx]

seriously this assholes reviews are fucking terible, and so are these jokes

[VeilStig]

This video creates a sense of deadness, no pun intended...

[xXDarkFire7Xx]

this is just fucking retarded

[GenesisTree]

Did he get breast cancer?

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

@GenesisTree Looks like it's so. I guess his front loaded anvils were his own undoing lol.

[TypicalJoe1900]

Is that the real George Wood, or is it just an actor impersonating him?

[das81]

HE is in TGWG.

[CousinCheng]

Jim T from Strange Encounters, yep :-b I don't think he has any current shows on there, they just recently played a "flashback" episode a few months ago on the channel though. The one about toilets :-b

[CousinCheng]

Nah, he's pretty laid back. I mean, he's not some boring businessman type, but his humor is basically more subtle in person than his "screen personas". I know he's good friends with the head of Bowie Community Media Corporation (used to intern for them two years ago), and even used his name as one of his aliases, "Jim T."

[CousinCheng]

He's not dead... or at least didn't die in 2006. He was at the Bowie Community Media Corporation awards show in spring 2008. I was standing right next to the guy in the buffet line... looked decent for a dead guy ;-b

[SupernaturallyBAMed2]

i hate you. God I hate you Navgtr

[TonyBranston]

0:08

Worst. Groaner. Ever.

[NorrisPimp]

go back to sucking cock faggot

[glitchTF]

i hope he stays 'dead'

[MrChadWarden]

he isnt dead

prove it!

[katten838]

Final fantasy 7 and 10 are both more halfmovies than ff12 and less interactive

[LanIost]

Oh my god, this video just ruined the whole thing for me.

Seriously these videos, in my entire viewing history of YouTube clips (since it started), are the ones that have most blown my mind.

It would seriously take me 4-5 full comments to even start to express my love and hatred for them.

But this ruins it, part of that was assuming that Georgey Boy here 'knew his stuff.' The idea that he actually played games and could review them so strangely was a major factor in mind blowage.

Sigh.

[PSXDubai1]

recipie for NAVGTR: poo + jerks = NAVGTR lol

[EpicWinOrFail]

Pfft... Navgtards.

[KawaiiDesuNekoBCSK]

oh man, you guys take his stuff way too fucking seriously.

if you bothered to do even the slightest hint of research, you'd know that all he does is grab a transcript of a review and narrate it.

that being said, some of you are clearly mentally disturbed for wishing this much ill on a deceased man and the company he worked for simply because of some video games.

[Metripleone]

He's the sort of guy who's kinda rubbish... but kinda cool because of it.

[lisvender]

@Metripleone Well said, and I agree wholeheartedly.

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

navgtr you suck. end of story. Go down your own ass hole.

[666thHeretic]

Are you watching in the morning? 'Cause that makes me your morning Wood.

...Navgtr, don't try to edgy. Don't try to be clever, either. And especially stop trying to review video games (unless, of course, you enjoy the MSTs as much as I do).

[KawaiiDesuNekoBCSK]

you have no sense of humor

[Darkseeder]

Wikipedia says the Wii was released in Nov 2006 in the US. I guess that has something to do with it.

Unless he's still alive and it's all a lie!

[Saintnick90]

Still, that's pretty late in the year. Did he die just in time to get a Wii?

[Darkseeder]

... Maybe the two are related!

[Ponicalica]

@Saintnick90 The Wii was released in late 2006. Furthermore, there were probably advance copies given to video game testers and reviewers.

[conicteamtv]

@Saintnick90 The wii was released in 2006 right?

[zydricpurdy]

@Saintnick90 because the wii came out in 2006

[WTFBOOMDOOM]

George Wood is still alive.

According to zoominfo(dot)com he is currently a chairman of NAVGTR Corporation.

I suppose the footage in this 'tribute' video was shot in 2006. He DIDN'T die in 2006.

Let's hope he'll make more hilarious reviews! =)

If you believed he dies in 2006, you are STUPID! It may sound offensive, but it's true.

[WTFBOOMDOOM]

*died

[murderever]

He is still alive. I even found radio interview with him and someone named Tom Allen (who as I understood is owner of NAVGTR channel here) and it was dated at 2008.

I wonder if the NAVGTR vault has some still unseen video game review craziness which we have not yet seen.

[JBHutto]

@murderever it's possible that they just had a typo in this video and put 2006 instead of 2009. 

[murderever]

Basically in the original video which was reviewed by NAVGTR junior he said that only sound guality sucked and maybe controls but that everything else was OK. And I mean original review by that other NAVGTR.

It's funny that you only need to criticize sound guality on FF VII when everyone starts overreacting.

[Karragh]

"Something's popular so it's good". You know what else was popular? The movie littleman, was number one in the country at one point. It was also horrible.

I'm not an fps gamer, infact, I loved Final Fantasy 5,6, and 10. I didn't like 8-9 and 7 was complete shit.

Grow some maturity "oh no someone doesn't like my game waaaah" poor baby.

[Asalieri]

I believe the problem isn't that he hates popular games, i believe the problem lies in the fact that he never once had a real legitimate complaint to point out.

What's the point of calling FF7 the greatest rPG of all time and then saying it sucked?

Basically what he said there is that all RPG's suck, which makes him very unqualified to talk about which RPG's are great and which aren't.

[Asalieri]

In order to give an opinion, one only needs to have one.

But in order to make an informative, objective and accurate review, one needs to actually play the game and realize why something has appeal or not. Very few people can actually REVIEW.

This guy isn't a reviewer.

[mangaas]

You know what else was Popular? Zelda Metal Gear Solid Halo Super Mario Bros. Sonic the Hedgehog Pizza Legos Grand Theft Auto The Godfather Doom Street Fighter

[Karragh]

what the point of that? My arguement obviously wasn't "everything popular is bad", my arguement was just that being popular doesn't automatically make something good.

[mangaas]

@Karragh

My point was that YOUR point was irrelevant.

Finaly Fantasy 7 was not 'good' just because it was 'popular'

it was popular BECAUSE it was good

;-P

[Karragh]

Did you follow the whole conversation or just read my post and reply to it?

I was responding to someone who basically said it was automatically good because lots of people bought it.

[MrChadWarden]

in your logic

wii sports is best game ever

new sonic games are good

crash bandicoot is better than halo, metal gear and street fighter

nice facts

[DukeNukem2020]

Also, don't forget:

-Nobody buys games for multiplayer, especially Goldeneye 007 for the N64.

-Super Mario 64 looks like a Toy Story movie

[MrChadWarden]

true crash bandicoot series has sold more than metal gear but not many people prefer it over metal gear

[Asalieri]

George Wood should get testicular cancer.

imagine the drama of a vulnerable George Wood still persisting in his idiotic reviewing, despite his illness. It needs fleshing out, no pun intended, but we guarantee the gaming world would laugh its ass off and make youtube a happy place

for about a month until the fun wears off.

[Asalieri]

I wonder who'll be the next blowhard Navgtr will have representing their warped views.

Maybe that moron they had narrating their FF7 review? He's got a bright future as the next insufferable Navgtr reviewer.

[sportsfan723]

maybe all that hair dye finished him off. But at least he can drive his wife to the hospital WHILE driving the speed limit so the cops dont get him now, in peace. Along with all the cancer he wants in video games. Be happy!!!

[FourthDerivative]

If you don't like George Wood, YOU ARE STUPID.

That may be insulting, but it's also the truth.

[PikaChamp112]

@FourthDerivative then slap me across the face and call me retarded cause I despise this old fucker

This might be insulting but it is true

[DXslilgangsta]

@FourthDerivative Calling him stupid would be an insult to stupid people

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

@DXslilgangsta Very true.

[murderever]

This is problaly true.

[Makron5]

Good night sweet prince.

[murderever]

Even when it seems there would not be anymore reviews from him still the guy who upload Flights of Fantasy episodes also uploaded his preview and review of movie Shadow Conspiracy with Charlie Sheen. It was a trailer, cast interviews and in the end he is like ''mehhh I am bored of movies with bad cookycutter acting especially from Charlie Sheen. We will better show you scenes from Schnidler's list''.

Search it up on Flights of Fantasy channel.

[Fopez]

legends never die...

[Clawshrimpy]

Okay navigtr, he says that the FF game should be released as a movie and not as a game due to cinema scene. yet he said that Castlevania Symphony of the Night was worse than Crash Bandicoot 2 because "of a lack of Cinema scenes."

But I guess since I didn't buy into that idea, I AM STUPID.

Oh well, hope you're getting plenty of front-loaded anvils, cancer, wacky new directing styles, and INCREDIBLE FUN in the afterlife

[oxe161]

wow, while many of you hated him think of that hes practically one of the only old guys that cared for games. RIP i gues

[uppermanxx]

it is kinda sad in a way, that we all saw his videos and laughed, and now figuring out that he has been dead for years

kinda makes it more a mystery now doesnt it?

[thegrimripper322]

I have to admit, although I don't really like gaming in the clinton years that much (retsupurae videos are hillarious, but I knew about you guys before they did.) it sucks that he died.

[posthumanfetus]

If it wasn't for retsupurae, no one would have known about this guy, nor would they have cared when he died. At least now, he will be remembered and loved, even though his popularity came posthumously.

[murderever]

Well much people knew him before because even before that his video views were pretty high.

It's just that nobody even really cared about narrator and after retsupurae it changed.

[hanspeterpitsch]

@posthumanfetus he died?

[cloudstrife1256]

@hanspeterpitsch That's what they say, but it's not likely true. There was a radio interview released with him dated in 2008, the company Avatoy still lists him on it's website as the CEO, and people have claimed to have seen him at different miscellaneous conventions.

[StrayZer0]

R.I.P george, I enjoyed your reviews be they Good, bad and even somewhat contraversial. Regardless no1 who dies deserves to be made a mockery out of, it's just a script after all...

[XJoeyJordison666X]

navgtr said shit?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?

[murderever]

May be an offtopic guestion but who is Don Risher? Some says he doesn't play video games even if he was in NAVGTR awards and some say to bring him back.

Is he some country musician, comician or something else?

[Unrealomega]

I love how they distanced themselves after his tomfoolery during the 90s, but he was the CEO. :P

[bigpunke1]

Truly a visionary. I was lucky to know him & shared many a slice of coconut custard pie with him (his favorite.) May his orange hair light up whatever world he is in now.

[GiantSandles]

Did he get breast cancer?

[Kowbrainz]

freaking lol

[GameShark9000]

@GiantSandles

If he died because of that, I guess that would be called poetic justice. lol

[BelaFleckPhan]

George Wood Fucking Rules

[BaerXIII]

In a weird ass way sure.

[murderever]

Hmmm I am really starting to doubt if he is really dead. Why? I downloaded radio interview where George Wood discusses casual gaming (George is really there) and also there is a mention of Gaming in Clinton Years and how people reacted to it.

And the date lists 2/20/2008

[murderever]

If you want see one full episode of flights of fantasy here is link watch?v=sm7LlqTkay4&feature=re­lated

Seems pretty interesting.

[DJCalusTracks]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Karragh]

George Wood one my respect because he was willing to say Final Fantasy 7 was a bad game, which it was, it was awful.

His crazy videos with the lara croft breast cancer and the drive your pregnant wife to the hospital ideas were genuinely funny too. Probably in an unintentional way, but still funny.

I allways half had my fingers crossed that he'd start reviewing games again in the modern day. And then hopefully those reviews would be RP'd.

[kaiserzero61]

Yeah, also I agreed with him on the Final Fantasy thing.

That game really isn't anything special.

[PHILRYABKIN]

Well yeah Geroge Wood was a good reviewer.All though some his reviews did piss me off.Like his Yoshi's Story,Tomb Raider 2,Street Fighter Alpha 2,Goldeneye and Super Smash Bros reivews really pissed me off.However still he was good but unfortanlly you will never see a reivew from him ever again because he died around sometime in 2006.

[Ripper557]

wow, without the glasses he looks like the gamer verson of Jack Nickolous

[murderever]

Believe me I had the same thought altough I think he looks more like Nicholson with glasses.

[IAbortionsTickleI]

R.I.P. navgtr

[Rozar505]

I'm sad he's dead. I'll miss you Navgtr and your 'GREAT' game ideas.

[boko6565]

these jokes are aweful

[Batamon1997]

They are.

[supaflyjohnson]

He's chillin' with Donkey Kong and Lara Croft in gamer heaven.

[Roykidsego]

Without final fantasy 7 because we all know its a bad game.

[yourvideosucks91]

he did look pretty old in those videos, it was no shock to me that he wasnt alive, those were very old videos

[JOPL]

five

[rotnem07825]

R.I.P
