GamePro TV Episode 1 - "Mag-net-o" Edition

[koslegoman]

Love this show!

[boh0555]

haha the 40 year old man with madden problems

[MrUniq]

I was in middle school at the time and this stuff looks super OLD..lol..oh man. How much stuff has changed now... totally bitchin!!!

[TheBassBandit16]

Haha Brennan... I swear, he must've been a huge pothead back then.

[MrThisworldismines]

Jd roth also hosted fun house

[MrThisworldismines]

Damn I love you tube...its like a timemachine for old tv shows

[thesnare100]

I remember I rented Crystalis and someone who had rented it before me had done this warp thing, which screwed me all up

[hondaciviccoupe10]

I collected comic books from the late 80s to the early 90s and everyone, including myself, mistakenly pronounced it as "Mag-nett-oh" just like this video because we always READ the name in print and never got to hear it. It wasn't until years later when the first X-Men movie came out, that we got to HEAR the name correctly.

[thesnare100]

@hondaciviccoupe10 Actually there were some X-men cartoons too.

[TheDeFiler316]

Holy Shit I remember watching this when I was a kid lol.

[Zimboo1]

i wish every decade was the early nineties.

[Philkid3]

Fact-a-roooooo Wolveriiiiiinnnnnnne Excellennnnnnntt

[Philkid3]

Sweet Bro the Cohost makes me happy Game Pro went out of business.

[goatorgy]

That dude seems very stoned.

[CreepyTheButcher]

I used to love this show. I would base my rentals every week on this. It was radical.....toobular even ;)

[ZavenNes1718]

Who came here from game chasers, and what happens if i send something to the po box at the end of the vid?

[ZavenNes1718]

Wolverine for nes getting a 3 out of 5, more like a 1 out of 5

[ClonedRetro]

look evil dude evil dude check him out.

[RedmageFoxx]

man i miss the 90's

[neon6]

You're gonna carry that weight.

[SaintZ42]

Was this before Wayne's world? If so these guys were fucking pioneers!

[Yogurtsling]

these dudes are dope!

[BlackWater1986]

Lol waynes world illegitimate video gaming child

U guys should check out Gamesmaster it was like th English version of this except weirdly sci fi!

[GreenDay830]

Man this was rad

[theLOWation]

O.o

[brain51983]

Secrets back then always seemed to conist of buttons pressed on controller 2.

[SilverTorch1]

This was the worst thing I have ever watched, I fucking hate the past

[princedavid0]

@SilverTorch1 LOL wow

[WeAllLoveToast11]

@SilverTorch1 I can't wait for you to choke to death on Bobby Kotick's cock.

[vest816]

Totally radical, dudes and dudettes! That was full-on rockin' like Pearl Jam!

[twilightfirefly]

@vest816 This was before Pearl Jam got big. Also, I don't remember anyone ever using the phrase, "full-on rockin'"

[ipbron12]

I was 1 year old when this show was filmed

[TheDamnedOCRemix]

@ 11:18 : "And you've also won a GamePro t-shirt, and it's on it's way right-side-up."

EPIC RECOVERY.

[mynamesdenvrmax]

hahahahahah @ the wicked bro guy 5:30

[mynamesdenvrmax]

Isnt this the kid from Fun House?

[Opendataport]

@mynamesdenvrmax Yep its JD Roth.

[commonperson]

It's hard to believe I graduated from High School three years after this was on. God I feel old!

[MarNieCo]

@commonperson thats because you are :D

[Skyshadow733]

I hope Beau Barry finds this vid and watches it

[captainclayman]

IT'S MAG NEATO YOU DUMB FUCKS!

[captainclayman]

RIP gamepro. was too young to be around for this show as a kid but man this is hilarious.

it's so EXTREME!!

[sixthnewkid]

They filmed this in Sacramento!?! I live here!  How long did this run?

[fredjudymom]

that 20 minutes was interesting

[fredjudymom]

that was a big ass football

[flexor212000]

dat blue screen

[iStReEtWaLkeR]

RIP Gamepro & JD Roth invading my living on Saturday mornings!

[Chris557]

I wonder what happened to this guy

[Opendataport]

@Chris557 Goggle search JD Roth.  You probably watching something he has produced right now. :-)

[kascnef]

I remember this....this just in...gamepro is no more as of December 5, 2011. It will be merged into PC World.

[Drooblemeister]

Oh, how I miss the days of TV shows like 'Game Pro,' cartoons where way better back then before the day of CG..

[Scruffnananess]

awesome



[newguy2002]

I think I still have some of these on old VHS tapes. Not sure if I can go through the mounds of VHS tapes though to find them XD

[ResidentEvilRPG]

tracking

[Utoobyourself]

I remember this show....... Memories...:)

[PetTheLion]

Is it possible for someone to be a huge Marvel fan and consistently mispronounce Magneto? It was the 90s, so there weren't 5 X-Men movies for reference. Was the cartoon out yet? Maybe they hadn't read any letters columns where Stan Lee says how to say it.

[rmazing]

7:07 if you got that far in this vid, he doesn't know what :) means. i chuckled.

[VideoQuestEx]

So, try to copy the "personalities" of "Bill & Ted" from their movies, and then compress them into video game show host?

Yep: that's the 1990s for you, dude!

Not too bad; yeah a bit corny, but I like some of the tips given.

For example, I still have my copy of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan" on the original GameBoy! Those tips were for real.

[duderancher13]

Thanks for nothing, Beau Barry...

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

So was this show the x-play of the early 1990s? What channel was this on?

[JohnnyP625]

GamePro is Way Way Better than G4.

[Chaoitcme]

I remember watching this program when I was a kid. Makes me wish I was 7.

[deadmetalbr]

today we have emulators and pvrs and shit, but how the fuck did they record game boy output directly in 1991? Bugged me then, bugs me now.

[kameoosama]

@deadmetalbr Probably a Wide Boy or Super Wide Boy, which are these basically game boys that plug into the NES/SNES and let you use a GB connected via a ribbon cable as a controller. They were used by developers, and I think reviewers. They might have had a special version that had VGA output for better screenshots too. they're interesting, and there are several articles online about them.

[kallasfredde]

I imagine the second duuuude smokes a lot of weed.

[filthyphil66]

Shity games y must you curse me

[BlackAndLiberated]

This was the "dude" era lol

[remaftp]

Kinda wish DVDs would show the TRACKING bars during the FBI warnings, if only for nostalgias sakes.

[TheHelldragon]

"Oh, man, sorry about someone losing their life because of their work TIME FOR VIDEOGAMEZ"

[wtcvidman]

Man, I loved this show & was so pissed the day I turned on the TV and it wasn't on anymore.

[BlackAndLiberated]

@wtcvidman that was one sad morning man. i remember.

[gzus09]

"Super Fresh Man" Wow thats way soooo 90's!

[c0ldb33r]

The computer player cuts right through my defence. I just can't stop him.

Can you. Help.

WTF? What is that guy on?

[Anarchist86ed]

Dude, so 90's man...

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

8:50

Japanese Mega-CD hooked to a Sega Genesis. Mutual incompatibility there, people.

[Graphichook]

Why did they get rid of the cool surfer dude but keep the ginger dweeb? It's shit like this that makes me want to KILL PEOPLE

[jacobsenx2]

10:15 wasnt that the guy from classic game room?

[captaincasualty]

I can't wait for R-Type to come out!

[chaseman94]

I wonder if Gamepro has ever done anymore TV shows similar to this?

[TeamMountainGaming]

J.D. Roth looks EXACTLY the same!!! EXACTLY.

[theFFVIguy]

20:32

Now we know what the director was on when he made this.

[Stigmatainmypants]

Also, i have to fess up. I used to watch this show religiously as a kid, but Bren-ON embarrassed me to no end. I don't know why, but anytime any member of my family walked into the room I would feel nothing but shame listening to that guy. I would actually change the channel if someone else walked into the room and wait till they were gone.

[Stigmatainmypants]

Super Ghouls and Ghosts was ridiculous. Awesome, but MAN was it hard.. The punchline when you think you've beaten it....HA..

[nerdtacularme]

i miss the 90's

[SuperFeazell]

HELL GAME GENIE MADE IT CRAZY

[TrevHead10]

Those were the days when skill, difficulty and challenge ment something shame that times have changed with most games been piss easy aslong as you sink the hours into it. And most challenge gamers are into those lame achievement scores that doesnt differenciate between the hard (like 1CC on hard mode) or the very easy (switching the console on) This means that lame gamers will have more points then a skilled gamer who spends weeks on a single game to make a few points. Lame gaming at its bestimo

[solitarylonewolf]

Haha, I remember that weird guy who acted like he had a stiff neck. I always thought he was trying too hard to be cool. l always liked JD Roth was cooler.

[TheNattak]

Very funny @19:17

[maximino27]

I miss this show :(

[multibang1]

I live for shit like this.

[Flarie]

Evil dude! Evil dude! Yeah!

EPIC.

[frequencyspectrum]

lol I totally remember these dudes

[CineRecon]

CD games???? Bullshit!

[damienmetalwind]

J.D. Roth was the king of the late 80's early 90's.

He kinda looks like the kid on the cover of toobin.

[TuxedoRay]

wolverine got a better review than bucky o hare...wtf

[palmshoot]

You can have the 90s without some J.D. Roth.

[freakyandsexy]

Gamepro TV tops X-Play.

[EJRocky]

03:42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVIL DOOD

[desconocidos27]

he is fried? what the fuck does that mean? is he alive?

[jons44]

I used to watch this when I was a kid in the early 90's. It's cheezy as all hell but it's better then that G4 bullshit.

[KRADRETAM0]

I wish Cheat was still on G4 it was very much like GamePro TV.

[UnGatoExtraviado]

he doesnt make a singloe complaimt agaimt ghouls and ghost difficulty, those wer the tomes when we were all real men

[MatticusFinch1820]

I love it!!!! long live the 90s!!!

[thegreatsamurai82]

i remember this episode it was on sunday mornings

[sinistrain]

This takes me back. I remember being a wide-eyed eight year old waiting for any mention of ANYTHING for my beloved Turbo Grafx 16. AWESOME!

[FuccThatShitNigga]

WAYYYYYYY Better than G4

[dethdealr]

the stoner guy makes me want to kill myself

[FuccThatShitNigga]

@dethdealr I remember watchin this shit. I wanted to punch that fag in his fuckin mouth!

[desconocidos27]

FuccThatShitNigga

[koopakape]

dude

this is so 90s

this is my childhood distilled and concentrated into one video

[nonh1]

"I'm I in San Francisco or what?" Referring to the feeling of being in an earthquake... VERY OFFENSIVE, duuude

[BiggBertz]

I remember this, what was the show in the 80s/90s game show where the kids in the end went on a grabbing spree of video games, accessories, etc...?

[fastdeicide]

that would be video power

[bpapa]

I don't remember the name but I know that Acclaim had a hand in it. And at one point they had a cartoon featuring a bunch of Acclaim game characters.

[zeogeox]

Man know wonder people did not take consule video games serious.

[jackofclubz]

My god the denim

[Valchor]

God I hated this show! Sorry but I had a choice of Video Power and this, Video Power Owned. These guys just tried too hard. And wasn't it revealed that most of their script was from the mag? Mag-net-o LOL

[kelvix80]

Back in 1991, when I found out that Scott Stauffer scored 95.950 on Bart Simpson Vs the Space Mutants, I was amazed.

20 years later, I am still amazed.

Do you think Scott still lives in Florida? And do you think he still has that mustache?

[wkllultra]

It seems like the first season they were reviewing boring games! what happen to the 2nd season?

[zalmute]

HOLY CRAP CD GAMING!

[chaseman94]

what program did you use to edit and upload this?

[DTRONRAGNAROK]

Wow, this is old. I remember watchin this as a small child. JD Ross should go back to hosting funhouse

[MaxxTheSlash]

Lol, he said "FU" while giving the password for TV Sports Basketball.

[masterfox3000]

evil dude evil dude!!!!

[TheTaskmaster]

this is the only episode of the show i saw so it may well be the first episode

[iponyou]

astyanax and the battle of olympus have some of the coolest music

[CineRecon]

13:25, a Metroid makes a cameo in this game!

[SiGhast]

Still, it's not as much of a Metroid as certain enemies in Blaster Master.

[123tct123]

wow i remember avgn making fun of the wolverine game lol

[magmatic123]

this dude is like 27 lol ,this is where douche bags began

[agcorona]

Those guys talked like they just did a bag of fresh high quality weed! I guess that's how you were suppose to talked back in the day.

[GameReviewsAreBad]

watch?v=puk6txd7Xb0&feature=ch­annel_page

[lukemorse1]

I used to love this show when I was younger!

[godzilla1077]

As a kid I wanted to punch that guy "stoked" guy. I still have the same feelings.

[XxkamuixX]

Cheesy, but better than the stuff on G4.

[LartonRou32]

@XxkamuixX Ha ha, that was funny

[teezecrost]

I remember being so hyped a video game tv show was coming on TV. Too bad it didn't last longer!

[YouCantKillMrGOATSE]

Tentacle mating ritual record? That will sell big in Japan.

[marcoteatrero]

totally 90's that's right!!! hehe

[fatalgrace79]

i have the original nintedo power mag with mainac mansion! wow im old.

[CyberSmokeProduction]

lol i got it too as well is the first NP issue with SMB2 on it.

man seeing this video again makes me feel really old

MAG-NET-O

[cafeledavid]

lol i still have nintendo fan club # 1 the 2 page pamphlet! join the club jk :P

[xmileena]

is that bill pullman?

[Inubito]

Thanks for posting this stuff man, I never got to watch Gamepro when I was a tyke. I was mostly into Video Power at the time. :)

[MGHSHour2]

I Love You, JD Roth

[MGHSHour2]

Jd Eorh's car would be great to see

[kdeviljay]

"CD Video Games are just around the corner..." he is right, but I think that the world would have been better off without the SEGA CD and the CD-i. Just a thought. PSX was the revolution.

[CyberSmokeProduction]

lol yeah the Sega CD was an epic fail.

I remember being psyched about it til i played the thing.

shitty FMV games like Night Trap didnt help any.

The Genesis was an awesome machine, but it got gangraped by the Sega CD and 32X, literally when you stuck the game systems together it resembled a technological orgy.

I agree with you the PSX was the revolution. The first time i played Twisted Metal my jaw hit the floor

[kdeviljay]

The "Surfer" Dude gives every reason of why no one should own the Game Gear.

[hagiadzo]

Dude! Brennan!

[EnnesX]

jd's jacket is so rediculous

[kdeviljay]

The Surfer "Dude" is like a shill who is trying to be one of us. He is so lame. But, he is funny in his lameness.

[mmpr01]

Actually, this wasn't the first episode - I think it was episode 6 or 7 in a 14 episode set from season 1. Btw.... I'm "Fred" (really.... 1/2 hour of makeup and hair for 2 still pictures)

[uxbnkuribo]

i want to kill him every time he says "magnet-o"

[timesplitersfreak]

iam so sending in a question....lol

[timesplitersfreak]

dude i still have a super nintendo....

[DrOctagon20]

damn, i feel sorry for that guy who went all out playing the simpsons bart vs. the space mutants....that game sucked...see AVGN's review.

[PanzerfaustMonk]

WHOAH DUDE AM I IN SAN FRANCISCO OR WHAT

[beast6228]

This show was the best when I was in high school, along with Video power.

[MrSkipRogers]

These guys were inspired by me. :) Way to go guys! These guys are legends!

[ZarayFromRussia]

crazy hairstyle

[lolonolo]

Sean Penn is an awesome gamer :D

[favianutube]

HAHAH!

[chaseman94]

[neddx]

12:14 Great mullet

[kickflipjr]

I am stoked for the sega cd! lol

[beyondthesevoices]

I remember watching this show when it was on, but I don't remember this "dude" that's with J.D.

[TheNationalPool]

Thank you so much for this. So awesome.

[captainnintendo]

My god the 90th were awersome

[cocacoda]

I would always watch this show at 930am on saturdays, wow...classic!!

[Anonymous4283]

Bonus R-Type commercial, fucking awesome.
