Cover Art Fail! - Star Fox
Today we take a controversial look at one of the SNES's greatest games. Star Fox revolutionized video games. It's hardware was top notch. The cover art? Not so much. But could there be an even deeper meaning going on here?
(Apologies for the VO quality on this one. I hadn't yet mastered my new mic.)

This subject has impressed me for quite some time. I have just started researching it on the Internet and found your post to be informative. Schoonmaakdienst

Just so I don't have to respond to everyone - and trust me, your criticism is very warranted - I did this vid over two years ago. Admittedly I made some major mistakes, both research wise and especially technical. I'm slightly embarrassed by this video, but as I've told some of you, I own it. You have to own up when you make mistakes.
At the time I made this, I was under pressure to put out more content, which went against my own personal charter. As a result, you get this episode, where I rushed the content, used most of my subjective opinion, and didn't test my newly minted mic properly.
I came back stronger in the future episodes and now I have a much tougher regimen when making CAF! episodes. Just wanted to let all you guys know. Not whining, just explaining. Every video I do is a learning experience, and I definitely learned from this one.

I hate to be this guy, but seriously, do some homework before posting a video! These were not guys in "Muppet suits" as you claim over and over again. These were puppets that were created with many different points of articulation, so that the photographers would be able to pose them as they see fit. This also explains the ankles, etc.
You seem to just be trying to copy the formula set in place by TGO, with poor results...

Admittedly I got some things wrong with this one, but I own it. That's why I posted it along with my other, more stellar (in my humble opinion) episodes. You have to take the good with the bad at times.
And that crack about being compared to TGO honestly hurt my feelings.

Hey, the truth hurths, doesn't it?
Your show format, your title cards, hell, even you screen name scream The Game Overthinker. I make no apologies for pointing these things out. You absolutely *cannot* release a video with so many glaring errors and with such a lack of research and expect everyone to play nice, at the risk of hurting your feelings...
Besides, after seeing this video, I have no interest in watching any others, due to your sheer lack of research, yet blatently ignorant opinions. Why should I expect the next to be any better?

*yawn*
Actually I don't think any person on the internet has ever hurt my feelings because I'm an adult. Given your odd statements and a perceived air that you have "dun told me", I can say that the streak continues.
In terms of your TGO comparisons, all of that is false. I started TGA around December 2008 and started doing promo stuff for it in March 2009 or so. Oh, and I deal in actual research and analysis, plus theories as well, and not just bald face assertions and horribly choreographed skits.
So in conclusion, I'll meet you in the playground after school, or whatever passes for internet slams in this day and age.

Some people think the metal legs thing is because the characters had their legs amputated and replaced with robotic legs to prevent the pilots from passing out due to g-forces, this idea came about before g-diffusers were introduced in Star Fox 64.

Is it just me or is the voice in the video only on the left side? A bit annoying...

For an "anthropologist", your lack of research is disheartening.
