anyone else want a video of just ian ranting at crap he hates

"Is there a lemon pi?' It's called the Coleco Chameleon

Ian getting salty is part of the reason why I love this podcast.Thank you Ian, you are amazing.

Ian lost his shit in this podcast. 😂😂 Seeing Pat cracking up made me laugh. Ya'll are hilarious.

if ian is angry, he is the most pleasant person ive ever seen angered

This is why the CUpodcast absolutely need Ian.

Watched John Hancock's video after this. You can tell he's so mad but trying to stay professional lol. He's such a nice guy.

"Its cool, BUY IT." Might be the best line from all of the CUPodcast. Fire.

I understand why Ian is pissed at this, and I agree. Also I was trying not to laugh my ass off when I listened to the audio podcast the other night walking threw Walmart, but Ian please lay off the booze, and energy drink combo before you have a brain aneurysm lol!

This is one of Ian's greatest performances.

Ian might be loaded, but he's firing on all cylinders.

I want a compilation vid of Ian raging like that! That's pure gold right there

Ian is angry and ranty and all is well again on the CUpodcast.

I hope the Completely Unnecessary Console has a startup animation that lasts too long, a manual that doesn't fit in the box, and the only video out is s-video.

The Completely Unnecessary Console : The CUC .... Sign me up !

Angry Ian is hilarious! Ask Frank, CU Lets Play, Flea Market Madness, Pat the NES Punk, and ANGRY IAN!!!!

Any chance for a yawning triceratops lets play?

Only a minute and a half in, and Ian's already throwing some massive shade.. this should be a good one!

No joke, I nearly shit myself laughing at Ian ranting about this LMAO

Ian don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.

Look's like Ian's got his groove back!

Ian raging is great in this video. 🤣

It's nice to hear Ian's voice is full of passion again!

This is the Ian that I love. So glad to see you back to form.

Ian Balls sounds like a good name for a band.

Ian, the Angry Video Game Store Manager :)

I once seen this on ebay and one of the listings had a random picture of an old man with a long cut on the side of his head.

Ian rants are the best

It makes me so happy to see Ian feeling better.

The CUConsole should just be a Retropi with a sticker of ian's face on it. Higher tier backers also get pat's face.

Let's all crowdfund a lifetime supply of Red Bull for Ian so he's always so passionate and on point, he clearly needs an IV of the stuff.

I didn't know I needed to laugh this hard until I saw this video. Thanks!

I feel bad for laughing at people's misfortune, but Pat reading some of those user comments cracked me up.

Good to see Ian really letting loose again . Must be feeling better!

"is there a lemon pie?" HAHAHAHA!!!

"CHRIST!" - Pat the NES Punk 2017

As for the SD card image, you can load any RetrOrangPi card but not a card from a different board cos thats like putting windows on a Mac

Ian was hilarious in this one

Ian is on another level here this was HILARIOUS

A buddy of mine got suckered into one of these turds. Even setting this thing up is a nightmare and it doesnt even come with any instructions on how to set it up properly.

Last time in Ian Ball Z... Also, can we have Ian rant more often? This is the best!

Pat are you rocking a blender bottle too for your protein shakes? hell yeah!

Red Bull then a swig of beer....Ian, anyone would have a stomach ache after that.

I feel like the cu podcast has taught us one thing overall NEVER BACK A VIDEO GAME CONSOLE PROJECT. RETRO VGS Coleco Chameleon Retroblocks This fuckin thing

I wish Ian wouldn't hold back and tell us what he really thinks. LOL

The Immortal John Hancock looks like Rick Steiner from WCW.

Ian's on a war path lol

Damn, Ian must be on the sauce pretty good today. Hilarious.

Under the GPL license, which I assume Kodi is based on, software can be redistributed for a profit, but the original license cannot be changed, and all changes to that software are still under that same license, keeping it open source for anyone who buys or downloads it. Selling the hardware as they do is definitely rogue, but selling open source software isn't dodgy, especially if people know it's open source and will think to download it free somewhere else.

Make sure you make yawning triceratops playable on your turd system. Would be hilarious as the one definitive add in game. Genius marketing idea

You Guys should have marine iguana petting break and mellow out hahah

Ian, how drunk were you here? lol

just bought a regular raspberry pi 3 and installed everything myself. Got a custom SNES case with a fan. I'm not savvy on coding or anything and I figured it out. I even know how to overclock and edit configurations now. Try it yourselves instead of being lazy and buying freeware.

This looks like one of those junkers that shows up in ads on my Facebook feed.

Ian definitely had a few before this was filmed. I think that should be standard operating procedure from this point out, I have not laughed this hard with a KZfaq video in a long time.

Well said. Cheers - and greetings from the RetroPie team. :-)

Ian is in fine form today! Let it rip, Ian!!!

Ian is so pissed... lol

Good to see you guys having fun and laughing again.

Great video guys, I love it when Ian is on the warpath!

i'm thinking ian uses the cu podcast to get his anger out

I'm going to go look for a 72 Buick Oldsmobile. That's gotta be really rare!

They are having a lot more fun these days. Sign me up for the CUconsole.

I don't understand the market for these things. RetroPie already exists and does what you want. Hell, any PC made in the last twenty years will play the full libraries of retro games that these scams promise. Why are people always looking for a solution that already exists?

Buy a real genesis console,$20 or $30 dollars.fuck all this shit

Just mod a previous generation console you don't use anymore and enjoy the emulators! There's your magic box. Or maybe what gamers have been doing for 20 years and just play emulators on PC, the longest running magic box.

John Hancock: The Immortally good looking gamer!

Ian in good spirits LOL!!

Ian is so damn right. If you want a retropie console just build it yourself. It is not hard and cheap

Not always a fan of Ian not that I dislike him but I normally have a difference of opinion to him and find him slightly snobby (on certain topics) But recently he's been on fire, fastly becoming my favourite internet personality.

Ian is on a roll. Wow... Too much RedBull ? Lovin' it !

Haha!! Ian should always drink red bull! Love it!

Just get Raspberry Pi 3 w/Case and controllers, and plug from Amazon for like $60 and install Retro Pi and add your own games easy.

I would buy the Completely Unnecessary Console. Like, for real. I'd love a huge pile of novelty dog crap on my table. Perfect center piece and conversation starter

Happy to see Ian's energy!

Drunk rage ian

It's actually quite ironic that of every one of these all-in-one retro game boxes, aside from the Pi 3, Nintendo themselves produced the very best one on the market = The SNES Classic. When modded to play games off of a USB stick, it is literally the best all in one solution on the market for playing these old games on a modern TV In fact, it plays N64 and PS1 games better than the Pi 3 does. I would choose it over the Pi 3 for retro games any day of the week. By the time you buy the Pi 3 unit, a case, controllers, MicroSD card, etc, you're getting close to the price of the SNES Classic anyway, which comes with two really nice SNES controllers as well. The only things you need to get it going are a very specific USB hub and a USB stick.

Come on, Ian. Don't hold back. Tell us how you REALLY feel! ;-) Surf Wisely.

And Angry Pat. We need more of him too.

So.... I take it that Ian approves of this thing ?

I bought 10 of these thing 😐 I've sold some and promised the others, I really hope I can get them working 🎮

Ian came in on this topic spitting fire! I love it.

Ian in rare form!

How did they fuck it up if it's just off the shelf software that works no problem when you get it off the internet?

Hopefully the dreamcade replay will go for the same fate

This may be one of the best #CUPodcast segments ever! Both of your guys' reactions were absolutely fantastic!

Ian brought the fire, and I'm loving it.

Alcohol and Red Bull. That's some combination!

God I needed this. I missed this.

We got our Retro Engine Sigma for 59.99 and have had no issue with any of the games working and took about 1 hour to set up. No issues at all, are we in the minority.

Holy shit. On top of the points Pat and Ian make, what baffles me to no end is how they FAIL...like, these is repackaged shit. I personally have one I slapped together myself. It's not fucking hard. The fact that they can't get these Pi systems to WORK is HYSTERICAL.

Ian was on his shit this day! Ian resurrected!! Lol

Well looks like Ian feels better.

“VERY HANDSOME MAN”

come on Ian, tells us how you really feel... :)

I've played around with alternatives to the Raspberry Pi for gaming purposes and I've had good experiences, but I wouldn't want a consumer product running an OS off the SD card. That can be troublesome in a number of ways. In my case, I've had to reflash cards multiple times just to get a board up and running. I've had issues with card brands and particular boards. I've heard people complain the Raspberry Pis quickly corrupts cards. The orange Pi would be fine for gaming purposes if the software here was better and the online update was reliable. This was just a really bad implementation. I saw the stories on this when it was announced, but I thought there were some red flags. The campaign was too vague, as I recall and the case seemed to be the star of the show. I've heard good reviews of it from some for whom it worked. Still, this was a bad way to do things.

Ian laying down the Law! LOL never had the truth been so funny!

Alright anyone notice Pat has the dace of Khalessi

How do I preorder my CUC? Hopefully I'm early enough for the nail polish edition because I want Fire Engine Red!
