History Awesome / TheIrateGamer

** Ever since his [[HeroRivalBaddieTeamUp crossover]] with the Nerd where they seemingly [[FriendlyEnemy buried the hatchet]], the Irate Gamer has ended up with a much healthier channel [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap ratings-wise]]. Even though he only gets a fraction of his views back in his heyday, the [[WinBackTheCrowd ratio of likes to dislikes]] of his latest reviews have significantly trended to the positive compared to the more mixed reactions of his past reviews (some of which still have the [[OldShame comments section disabled]]). He has become more of a [[HeelFaceTurn positive figure]] in many a former hater's eyes.

* In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItY6CTNGK5Y Top 5 NES Picks]] video, when he says that he uses a VideoGame/GameGenie for ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'', he says, "I'm sure there's gonna be some 'elite' gamers out there complaining about how I'm using a Game Genie for this game. Well, you know what? Fuck 'em! Because even with a Game Genie, this game still proves to be very challenging."
