I contend that Gaming in the Clinton Years/NAVIGATR is the most baffling thing on poetv. Nobody knows what to make of it. Real, or incredibly elaborate parody? Who was this guy's audience, and how/why did they distribute it in an era of dialup, assuming it's real?

Potrod - 2010-08-28 He refers to the "upcoming Ultra64" in one of his SNES game reviews. If it's new, he makes a lot of effort to make it sound "authentic." I read somewhere else, possibly here, that they're actual old reviews and that the "Gaming in the clinton years" title was tacked on later. Still bizarre, whatever the case is. http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=45857 may blow your mind.

Aelric - 2010-08-28 Well, if I were to theorize, I'd say that in the mid 90's, there was streaming video, despite the fact that is was very low quality. There were hundreds of internet shows through companies like Pseudo, which you can see more about in a documentary called 'We Live In Public". Now, I honestly don't know what the case was for NAViGaTR, but that is my guess.
Oh, and the narrator, George Wood, is about 5 years dead. That one I'm sure about.

Quad9Damage - 2010-08-28 They are real. I believe it was a show in the mid-90s, probably public access.
I did some googling and found this:

I used to love this game and Super Empire Strikes Back. The boss battles with Darth Vader were one of the SNES high points for me.

Doomstein - 2010-08-28 Also this guy is full of shit with regard to the jump attack. That shit will get you killed Vader can't touch you if you crouch and block using your lightsaber. When there's a pause in his attacks you wail on him then go back to block..

Quad9Damage - 2010-08-28 It seems like all his techniques for beating the bosses involve getting hurt a lot.

"The Emperor is very unforgiving, but SOOO are YOUU."
Also points for very audible page turns.

Mode 7 level. As opposed to non-Mode 7 levels.

You know, this guy sounds like such a nerd that I'm surprised he didn't know the "green pigs" are called Gamorreans.
