4[=PlayItBogart=] (known as [[Franchise/IndianaJones Indiana]][[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Belmont]]) is a game reviewer that spawned shortly after WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd hit the scene for game reviews. [[FunWithAcronyms PiB, for short]], has started off with his ''VideoGame/{{Hydlide}}'' review, along with a couple of other videos, where it was more of a vlog rant for half the video. Then he'd later hit big with his Rollergames review (as quoted above) as an angry reviewer. He has later made attempts to be much less and less angry and reduce the amount of swearing and has at times been extra creative in his reviews, just as his ''VideoGame/TrackAndField II'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' reviews. He has also made several different videos [[PlayedForLaughs mostly for laughs.]]
5
6[=PiB=] has made quite an impact as an underdog game reviewer to the point of [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes having his reviews archived after his youtube channel was closed]]. Speaking of which, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork after his channel got closed over a parody video]] (game play of ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV GTAIV]]'' had something to do with it), he would move onto Revver for a short time, having reedited some of his reviews to fit the fifteen minute format, before that website later went under. [=PiB=] has returned to Website/YouTube under the name [[Franchise/IndianaJones Indiana]][[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Belmont]] and reuploaded some of his videos [[MissingEpisode (though in some cases, not the original versions)]] and seems to be here to stay this time.
7
8[=PiB=] happens to be an UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball fan, to the point of owning lots of different football games, including those by EA Sports and 2K Games. He even did a review of the NES football games during the 2007 UsefulNotes/SuperBowl.

10[=PiB=]is currently a drag queen Twitch streamer going by the handle Patricia "Trish" Bogart. [[https://www.twitch.tv/QueenPiB Their channel can be found here.]]

42-----
43
44!![=PlayItBogart=] shows examples of
45* AllThereInTheManual: Poked fun at, particularly on his VideoGame/SnakesRevenge review: "If you listen to the game's plot, you're taking on [[VideoGame/MetalGear Big Boss]]. Listen to the game manual, you're taking on some guy named Higharolla Kockamamie. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer I am not making this up.]] [...] This is the gaming equivalent of opening up your copy of ''VideoGame/SplinterCell: Chaos Theory'', and finding the manual to [[Advertising/TheBurgerKing Sneak King]]."
46** The entire intro to his review of VideoGame/MetalGear for the NES is this, only lampshaded later on.
47** Also makes mention of a small sample of the plot behind RollerGames.
48--> "Know why these guys are trying to rescue the owner? Because the CIA and the FBI apparently they suck! LOOK AT THE PLOT! I'M NOT KIDDING!"
49* ArtificialStupidity: The second match of Videogame/RiseOfTheRobots started off with the opponent literally [[TooDumbToLive backing up to a corner to get kicked to death.]] This can be argued as it may have been deliberately programmed as the opponent attempted "turtling", but this has not been confirmed. See TheComputerIsACheatingBastard below for more info.
50--> "Ok, what the fuck, he started the match by backing up to a corner, I didn't even need to kick him there." -Second opponent of ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheRobots''.
51* BlindIdiotTranslation: [=PiB=] had witnessed a good amount of these, notably the games by [[{{Creator/Konami}} Ultra Games.]]
52--> "''The owner has been kidnapped'' the owner of what?! ''Only the three good teams can rescue him'' because that's all they're capable of, I hate bad English!"
53* CuckoolanderCommentator: Plays with this in his 'review' of Track and Field 2.
54* CurseCutShort: Usually results in either [[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties technical difficulties]], {{Intermission}}, or credits popping in.
55--> "This game is a load of bullsh-!" *Credits*
56* DarkerAndEdgier: His review of ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog''.
57* FastForwardGag: Done twice for Star Voyager, with music accommodating both. Once for searching different planets for a power-up. Another for getting the game genie set up. [[spoiler: both ended in dying in the space battles.]]
58** Done twice again for ''Film/{{Star Trek V|The Final Frontier}}'', also with music. Once for stage 2 where Scotty is collecting bombs to rescue the crew of the enterprise. Again for stage 3 where the space battle occurs.
59* GoshDangItToHeck: In a couple of instances, he's attempted to avoid going out on cursing a lot. Especially in his review of VideoGame/MetalGear. To be fair, that example was due to that being hosted on a Metal Gear Solid fan site.
60* HardLevelsEasyBosses: Makes a comment on this in his Rollergames review. Could also technically apply to ''VideoGaem/RiseOfTheRobots''.
61--> "Hard as nails [levels], super easy boss. Seems a little unbalanced, don't you think?"
62* [[IKnowKungFu "I Know Kung Fu"]]
63--> "For the last time, no you don't!"
64* LetsPlay: Although not intended as one, he has played ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak'' on the day before the servers would go offline. When he reuploaded the video, he used annotations to comment over the game (though you do have the option to turn them off if you prefer).
65* {{Montage}}: Subverted. [=PiB=] attempts to initiate one on Resurrection: Rise 2, only to receive a Windows-style error message.
66* NebulousEvilOrganisation: Parodied in his review of ''Top Gun: The Second Mission''. [=PiB=] notes that several Creator/{{Konami}} games have you facing off against a nameless enemy organization, such as the original ''Top Gun'', ''VideoGame/RushNAttack'', ''VideoGame/MetalGear1'', and ''VideoGame/SnakesRevenge''. The solution? They're all the same organization, called [[FunWithAcronyms E.N.E.M.Y.]], short for '''E'''vil '''N'''eeds '''E'''ven '''M'''ore '''Y'''.M.C.A.S.
67* PortingDisaster: After showing footage of ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheRobots'' for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, he mentioned that Genesis ports of different games will always be inferior, unless your name is ''Franchise/MortalKombat''. This is immediately followed by [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope an immediate disclaimer saying that he loves the Genesis, just doesn't like the games that weren't made with Genesis hardware in mind.]] [[invoked]]
68* ShoutOut:
69** [[Franchise/{{Rambo}} "Rambo 4, John Rambo, Rambo First Blood Part IV, Rambo Second Blood Par-]] [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd You know, someone already did this schtick."]]
70** He padded out the VideoGame/SnakesRevenge review with a clip from VideoGame/MetalGearOnline. The clip where himself, along with the guys from [[http://youtu.be/D2a_3yPcSi8?t=2m28s Metal Gear Solid: The Unofficial Site]], gets a [[BoomHeadShot single bullet though their brains]] by one.
71--> "There, now we're ready to start the review, [[TemptingFate unless I can think of anything else to hold up the process.]]"
72** He justifies his purchase of ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier'' (the movie) by showing a clip of the movie accompanied by a commentary track by Podcast/RiffTrax.
73*** Which was unfortunately removed to prevent [[ScrewedByTheNetwork any legal issues]].
74** [=PiB=] enjoys referencing ''Film/JamesBond'' on occasion. Just look at the pistol he uses for [[spoiler: his ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' video.]]
75*** While reviewing Star Trek V, he comments about the first stage taking place in daytime as opposed to night in the movie, bringing up [[Film/GoldenEye the timers being set for three minutes instead of six]].
76--> [[{{Satire}} "Curse these recessive genes!"]]
77** The ending of his ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' video can be seen as this to ''Film/OldYeller'', complete with ShootTheDog.
78* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: For Star Voyager on the NES. Despite having a power up, he didn't stand a chance against the enemies. He then utilizes the game genie [[spoiler: which hasn't made things any better.]]
79--> [[spoiler: "If the game genie can't beat it, no one can."]]
80** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheRobots''. Normal mode makes their AI [[ArtificialStupidity rather 'special',]] [[AntiClimaxBoss including the final boss.]] Hard mode plays this straight though, to the point where the first battle has the opponent throwing a kick '''in the middle of a punch animation!'''
81* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Tries not to invoke this trope during his review of the unreleased ''Film/{{Star Trek V|The Final Frontier}}'' for the NES. He makes it clear that the game probably sucks only because the movie sucked too. [[invoked]]
82** [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames Defied]] in his ''Film/TopGun: The Second Mission'' review, to the point of doing a whole walkthrough of the game.
83** A weird case with Rambo to him, considering that Acclaim had the whole '''FOUR YEARS''' since ''Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII'''s release to make this game and make it right.
84--> *Upon seeing the line "What will you do now, John?", "Day by day"* "[...]...HOW DO YOU [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] THAT UP?!"
85** [=PiB=] considered ''[[VideoGame/BackToTheFuture1989 Back to the Future]]'' for the NES to not be that bad of a game. In fact, he made a theory that [[DitzyGenius there is some genius at play.]]
86* ThisIsGonnaSuck: If the introduction to his Rollergames review isn't enough of an indication, this line will do you in: "I like to call [RollerGames] the bullshit game. You'll see why in a moment."
87** Before beginning his review, he talks about how Kojima considered VideoGame/MetalGear for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] "utter garbage", while he regarded ''VideoGame/SnakesRevenge'' as a "faithful sequel". After [=PiB=] mentions that ''Snake's Revenge'' is a terrible game (subtitle: "Rather Kill Myself")... [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "Oh god..."]]
88** The intro to the review of ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' pretty much spells it out for you. The description and music [[spoiler: [[{{Foreshadowing}} helps set up a]] [[DownerEnding rather depressing ending.]] ]]
89* VaporWare: ''Film/{{Star Trek V|The Final Frontier}}'' for the NES. [=PiB=] believes that is probably due to either the movie sucks, the game sucks, or some infinite time-loop that leads to the destruction of the [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Bandai HQ.]]
90* ViolationOfCommonSense: Stage 4 of ''Film/{{Star Trek V|The Final Frontier}}'' is based on a scene from the movie where Captain Kirk has to escape back to the Enterprise. Whenever he loses in this stage, he'll be beamed back to the Enterprise, then back down to the planet he was trying to escape from.
91--> "You can't, send me, back, down, there. Remember, your, hippo-, -ottomus oath!"
92** Invoked in VideoGame/MetalGear for the NES where [=PiB=] got to the super computer but cannot destroy it. He then recalls not defeating all the bosses and rescuing key characters prior, leading him to ponder:
93--> "The people who made this game were stupid enough to let you bypass most of it, but they were smart enough to put safe guards in place to stop you from beating it?"
94* VisualPun: Goes all out on the ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheRobots'' promotional video.
95* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: Did this a couple of times total in his angry reviews. Especially on Rollergames.
96* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: [[TemptingFate "Oy, you'd]] [[VideoGame/RiseOfTheRobots be surprised."]]
