The Infinite Review (formerly known as MechaGamezilla) is a YouTube channel run by a quiet, Irish man named Owen. He originally started out as a video game commentator and over the course of many years grew a small, but very high quality channel. His fanbase is very dedicated and boy oh boy you should see some of the commissioned artwork they send to him, much to Owen's chagrin. The style of humor is very dry but usually on-point. A long while ago he used to work with a dead YouTuber by the name of Fitzthistlewits and takes a lot of cues from his original style. More recently Owen has shifted his format to The Infinite Review, in which he and his possibly homosexual friends review all sorts of things ranging from cereal to literature and from Evangelion to Final Fanasy. I think this is a channel a lot of the forum would like, given the number of gamers and toilet paper enthusiasts here.

Today seemed like a good day to make this thread because one of The Infinite Review's best videos has been reuploaded after being DMCA'd by Sony. If you have ever been interested in touring Japan and are a lover of Sonic the Hedgehog, now's your chance to get your feet wet. Enjoy! Until it gets taken down again for some dumb reason.

Keep an ear to the ground around Christmas for their annual special including mailbag!​
 
This guy's FF7Remake video gets passed around the Final Fantasy thread every so often. That's how I found out about him. It is a complete demolition of Tetsuya Nomura as game director and well worth the watch.

Not a bad way to spend 40 minutes if you have any interest in the source material.
 
Hey look, more Evangelion shit. Owen cannot help himself. The Infinite Review is now all-Evangelion.

The period of time when Fitz stopped doing videos is kind of neat as he did two collaborations with Mecha before killing himself by jumping into the turbines of the Dinorwig Power Station.

You've got the second-to-last Fitz video:

And a few months later you've got this Mecha video:

And if you're really into some esoteric shit about a small-time filmer on the Internet, you can go all the way back to 2012 and see Mechagamezilla make an appearance on the first episode of the best gaming show ever created:
Timestamped at 5:00.
 
Well how about that, we've got ourselves another classic E3 episode of the show.

And for our very special boys in the room, here's a train video:

Do kids/dads even make model train sets anymore? Is this a lost art?
 
Mechagamezilla last time I checked took down a lot of his early videos, in fact as I just checked he has nuked almost all of his early ones. Are there re-uploads anywhere? There was the James Bond 007 video, the Michigan video, the Sarkesian video and the parody Tomb Raider and Gears of War (among others). Any reason why he nuked these?

On Fitzthislewitz front has Lettercube 2 ever been found? My friends use to quote that video a ton but I remember the AMA and he said that he took it down because of one of the jokes. I was trying to track that down for awhile but was unable to track down any leads

My archive is pretty complete but I am missing a few; the one I really want is the Casey Duck Butter Duck (privated URL) and Burgertime (privated URL) videos but that was one of the first ones erased. I almost had it fished up from my old HDD but the recovery program didn't seem to work. If you have recommendations on HDD recovery software, please let me know because there are a few now-missing videos in there.

I actually asked Owen about this but got no response. Fair enough I guess. But it is weird; those videos didn't have anything that bad in them. I've got URLs to a couple and can confirm that they are actually private, not deleted.

Holy shit! I just checked and a TON more are missing. Even his more recent one of Four Mechagamezillas playing Croc is gone. Here's some of my file versus his YouTube channel:

I am unclear on which video is the "Michigan video" though; please refresh my memory. I thought I had only missed two in my archive. I also have a mostly-complete set of ChukieDregs, an incomplete set of Mechagamezilla's Mean Bean Machine and some other odds and ends from the prehistoric era. I do not have any of the premium content or podcasts though.

As for archives... looks like stuff has been removed from the Internet Archive as well. Really fucking weird, Owen. What the fuck?? I am packaging up my Mechagamezilla file (not the Infinite Review stuff) right now and you have 30 days to download it before it gets wiped. Here you go!
 
The Michigan one was an early lo-fi video of him playing "Michigan Report from Hell", its been a real long time. It would have came out around the time of Demolition Girl. I wonder why he deleted those.

I might have Burgertime somewhere but no promises. Like if I would have known 10 years ago I would have attempted to download more but I think all I downloaded were the 007, Demolition Girl and Burgertime

Alright! I found Burgertime and uploaded it. Same site so 30 day limit

HOLY GUACAMOLE! I wanted to find the other videos but THIS video was the first one I noticed that had been deleted and this video is the only one I could understand WHY he deleted it. Never thought I'd see this one again. Thank you!

So we need to find Casey Duck and the Michigan Report from Hell... hearing the full title (report from hell) does stir some memories. I'll keep looking.

Shit. Someone re-uploaded a couple videos nine months ago. There's Casey Duck, Burgertime, Vanquish, Christmas at the Club, Speak with your Wallet, Anita and Get Fit with Mel B. I totally forgot about the stupid fucking wallet video.
