Opening Up: Analyzing The Irate Gamer's Most Controversial Video. In this documentary I answer the question "Who is the Irate Gamer and why should I care?" by exploring one of his most famous uploads. I examine his rocky relationship with James AVGN Rolfe, his rise into the public eye as one of YouTube's first gaming celebrities and his reactions to various allegations of plagiarism. Topics such as the AVGN Movie "Kickstarter" (Indiegogo) "scam" and the Cheetahmen 2 scandal are also touched on. Celebrating 10 years of the Irate Gamer!!!
UPDATE 6/15/18: On April 21st 2018 Chris Bores himself had this video removed via manual copyright takedown. It was then reinstated by YouTube upon review on June 14th 2018.
