hey I have followed your instruction video on wacth stream with SAMMI, i have followed everything and it all works except the counter going up during testing. Meaning no matter how many times i claim the reward the number stays as number 1 and never goes up.
In all fariness Dave got beat in other games, on his home console: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ibB20PRJ3cg.html&ab_channel=GamesAnimalTVisafraud
It's 2024 and this just randomly appeared in my suggested videos. My favourite part was seeing those old magazine covers and remembering buying them when they came out. Wish I'd kept all that stuff!
He had a point though. That game wouldn't come out for months and it was playing at NTSC speed, so to me it looked like he was just being careful. One guy had the game and played it for months, one guy hadn't played it until here. Even if he did happen to read about said shortcut, he still hadn't played the game, and it looks like it could've been a coincidence anyway.
It's been nearly 30 years, and he's still salty about it 😬 Dominik has said since there were trying to go in a different direction with GM, and even before the infamous blow up there was a rift because they were of opposing viewpoints. He wishes he'd handled it better, pity Dave can't let it go, tbh.
He was definitely attempting a shortcut but I think he assumed it wasn't as big a drop as it actually is, making it more difficult to carry out in reality. I can confidently say his hubris got the better of him. He should just own up and take the weight off his shoulders
The self proclaimed Greatest gamer in the world he thought that because he worked for a gaming magazine. That show was before its time. He's not been "trolled for 20 years because of the TV show" he's been trolled because of his ego.
In an alternative universe if Dave actually pulled the shortcut off would it have cemented him as a legendary gamer, I mean all he had to do was survive longer than 20 seconds not complete the course lol.
I doubt he was trying the shortcut, more that he just didn't really know the controls. When he talks about it being a set up to let Kirk win, who was a good mate of the presenter Dominic Diamond, he's probably got a case there. If you watch the whole programme the first part of this is a quiz where one of the questions asked to Kirk is "what does the B button do on Fifa?" and when he says pass seemingly not knowing the answer, he's right as it's the pass button. He also deliberately answers another question puffin when the answer is penguin, and it's setup to very obviously be penguin, but is given the point. There's also another trick moment in the quiz that denies Dave a point. The whole thing though is that it's set up for laughs and it's about jokes rather than a serious quiz. The thing was that Dave had just started a new job, and had a book coming out soon after (as is mentioned). He was advised by both not to go onto the Xmas special, which he wasn't being paid for and could potential damage his image. He'd agreed to do it on the understanding that they weren't going to stitch him up in any way and had explained why, including the book. So it looks likely the production team had decided to have a pop and try to pierce his ego a bit, hence why Dominic mentions his book at the end. So it's understandable that he's annoyed. People who he's worked with have not necessarily stitched him up, but possibly and certainly set someone else up for the win, and they definitely have put parts of his livelihood at risk. Problem is he should've just laughed it off but his own sulking, salty response makes it all the worse for himself.
@@steve_ire321 Very nice of you to think I'm that young. I was doing my first gaming on Ataris and Commodores, when they were first released, so very much born by the time the N64 came out. You can see at the start he's jumping, and doesn't know what the buttons do. So he's just trying to get a hang of it, rather than wasting time, as was suggested. Yep the controls were intuitive (I remember picking them up whilst playing a display version of this in an Argos), but when you've never touched them before there's still a little bit of learning. Equally this level featured a bit of inertia in the sliding. Not hard to get used to, but I'd guess most people fell off on their very first try on it. Hence why I believe it's more likely he was just trying to get used to the game, rather than going for an unnecessary short cut, when all he needed to do was stay on the track for 20 seconds.
@@TheJcc50 Pretty logical comment tbh. The guy had never played, how would he even know it's a shortcut? It could have been another path. And again you can see him tilt the controller so he clearly was trying to turn his character back onto the path, not off onto the shortcut.
It's a good point. It appears to me, he was possibly told of the shortcut, even maybe shown pictures. Gamesmaster the magazine and its staff knew of it. And Dave thought it would work out first time easy peezy. It didnt. Dummy spat out. Either way, Early bath Perry is still a Leg' in my book.
I used to watch Gamesmaster but wasn’t aware of Perry’s Mario 64 “incident” - It was honestly one of the funniest things I’ve seen on RU-vid… the dude has no self-awareness, he just kept banging on and on about being “stitched-up” in the Mario challenge… man is he bitter. It happened 30 f’n years ago, and it wasn’t even important when it happened - let alone now - although how big of a deal it is to him is just hilarious. He comes across as a complete tosser, which is clearly why he would’ve got stitched-up in the first place (if he even did, I’ve since watched the video of the challenge and I reckon he was trying a short-cut but f’d it up). His whole life seems to have been effected by this complete non-incident. If it was a stitch-up, then the presenters and producers of the show got exactly what they wanted… they made the prick they work with have a mini-meltdown and they got to broadcast that ridiculous goon of a man-child to the whole nation. 😂
Guy who owns the game fails at 20 seconds. Dave, who doesn't own the game, fails within 13 seconds.. Dave 'I've been set up!' No you haven't Dave, you just gambled and lost... He genuinely thought he was better than he actually was.
I was still in single digits when this show aired on TV in the 90’s so before checking RU-vid for this, I couldn’t remember much. But all of it is coming back to me now and just makes me hate being a grown up now in my 30’s haha. I actually wish I could go back to the 90’s but view it as an adult and see some of the world as it was back then. Not just the UK but go to Japan in the 90’s, the home of video games and anime and compare it to now. Dominik Diamond got to visit Japan in the 90’s and that must have been such a cool experience man! Any other millennials here having flashbacks right about now? Haha.
Anyone wearing a butcher’s apron to cover up their rapidly-balding skull for thirty odd years fully deserves to have been embarrassed like this, especially after declaring himself the greatest gamer on the island.
I remember this episode when it aired. This was the peak of lads mags culture and Dominic Diamond passively flirting with models was a hero. We'd go out get drunk on proper strength lager that was 5.2% or above on tap from a nightclub. Then get a oily curry sauce on chips or KFC as we staggered on the way home during UK college. Dominic Diamond is married (not to Whigfield) and is a normal bloke in real life. He had issues with insomnia and depression as did the editor of FHM magazine.
I think Dave does come off as a dick but considering the console and game weren't out in the UK and how warped the n64 controller was I can understand his frustration at least at the time.
He could have just sat Mario at the top of the course and won 🏆 they ran the timer from the start of the game rather than the start of the actual slide 😁
