History Tropers / GlassMan

Oh, who is this loser? Why, it's just Glass Man, of course.

Glass Man is a weird guy with no self-esteem and a bunch of weird hobbies. SelfDeprecation is order of the day usually. Does bad LetsPlay videos over on Youtube. [[http://www.youtube.com/user/TailsFiraga Here they are in case you were wondering for some crazy reason]]. His Let's Play videos have shown improvements over the years, with several upgrades in terms of video and audio quality, in addition to generally being a bit better at games he's played lately. His [=LPs=] have also gone over a broader spectrum of games, and he's been straying away from his original start of doing Mega Man games. He's currently on his 29th Let's Play, SonicAdventure, in addition to his 30th, SuperMario3DWorld.

In addition to his Let's Plays, he's also done a few collaborative videos with his younger brother, titled "Dueling Idiots," in which they tackle either childhood favourites or recent fighting game releases.

That's about it. All you need to know.

!!His Let's Plays provide examples of the following:
* AuthorAppeal: A big fan of glasses-wearing girls in general, most specifically Miyuki Takara from Lucky Star.
** Has expressed interest in samurai culture, medieval knights, and Dracula in various Battle Network 5 videos.
** Ice levels, if only for the appearance.
* CatchPhrase: Adopted "So Much Balls" during older Let's Plays, was eventually phased out. His opening of "Hola Amigos!" might count as one, as could his apologies at the end of recent videos.
** "Don't quite know, and I don't quite care."
* CutenessProximity: Absolutely adores New Super Marisa Land due to its cutesy art style. Part 1 of the series is even titled "The Game of Cute."
* EnsembleDarkhorse: His Power Rangers: Time Force videos have more views than his other LPs, while the first part has almost 2,000 views, making it his third most popular video.
* LargeHam: Can be at times.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each part of his Mega Man X2 playthrough is named after a MichaelJackson song.
* ManChild: Has a tendency to play more cutesy, kiddish games, so he comes across as this.
* OldShame: Considers his Let's Play of Sonic Adventure to be this, due to inexperience and using a camcorder. (He has since started a new Let's Play of it which has been recorded properly!)
** Previous Let's Plays up until MegaMan6 also count, as he has expressed dissatisfaction with the videos. He even riffed on his own Donkey Kong Country LP due to its sloppy editing.
** Mega Man X is an interesting one due to editing in useless things throughout the LP and starting off with an accent imitation that makes no sense.
* OncePerEpisode: "Hola, Amigos!" at the beginning of videos.
** More like a "Once Per Let's Play" thing, but if an emulated game is long enough, expect at least one moment where he has to cut away to reconnect his controller.
* Pun: Delivers a particularly painful one in his Dueling Idiots for Super StreetFighterIV, complete with shitfaced delivery.
* RunningGag: His controller disconnecting during Let's Plays of emulated games possibly counts.
* SaveScumming: His early Let's Plays have a lot of this going on. Still uses save states occasionally to keep progress for games that lack a save feature.
* ScheduleSlip: As it stands, many "Bonus Features" for his Let's Plays have not been recorded or uploaded.
** Plants vs. Zombies suffers heavily from this.
* ShoutOut: Uses the word "Stupoid" occasionally as a shout-out to NintendoCapriSun.
** Names each of his party members in FinalFantasyIII after the TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles.
** Comes up with names for several of his Pokemon during his Leaf Green playthrough, including two mons named after TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles characters, naming his Jolteon after ElectricalBeast, and naming his Ninetales after Chizuru Minamoto from Kanokon.
** Pulls off an HCBailly-styled "Secret Passage" at times.
* SirSwearsALot: Not entirely prevalent in his own Let's Plays, but compared to his opponents in various races he's more inclined to cut loose and let out a few profanities. He doesn't have many qualms with using profanities, but doesn't necessarily need to.
* SoBadItsHorrible: InUniverse, his opinion on Sonic the Hedgehog: Genesis, and for good reason. He even considers it to be worse than SonicTheHedgehog2006.
* TookALevelInBadass: In older LPs, his gameplay was reliant on SaveScumming. For his redo of the Mega Man 3 LP, there's much less use of save states for a more "genuine" feel to it. And then there were the Mega Man 4-6 races, where he consistently places at least second. While it's still nothing huge and noteworthy, it does show how far he's come from his roots.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Is much more snarky now than in his very old Let's Plays, and is willing to poke fun at poorly-done elements of video games he plays.
* TooMuchInformation: From Part 2 of Sonic Genesis, his "therapy session" intro has him claiming to have an unhealthy sexual attraction to anime catgirls.
