(It's Cool Spot.)
For today's video, I tried to think of as many sunglasses-wearing video game characters as I could. Immediately Cool Spot, Rash from Battletoads, and Duke Nukem sprang to mind. It did not exactly go well from there: it turns out a lot of video game characters who wear sunglasses suck.

Never too much Tim Rogers in my subscription box however the more Tim Rogers there is the more intelligent I as well as my fellow youtubers get. Tim Rogers is my video game cool step dad. In fact I’ve learned to speak and more so form sentences in English merely by listening to Tim Rogers. Tim Rogers you may not be the best English teacher, but you might just be the hottest and most intelligent video game reporter ever.

Well, that was amazing. Please make more content like this. Also, Dr.Robotnik/Eggman wears sunglasses in most variations of his character design. They are often blue-tinted, which I think is how the current character design looks. The Adventure-era Eggman had black sunglasses as did the design found in the immensely popular and universally loved Sonic the Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 released in the year of our lord 2006. Some variants have him wearing goggles, not sure if such treachery to sunglasses culture excludes him from consideration.

Squirtle and his gang rock them sunglasses. Technically Snake can too in MGS2. Geralt from the Witcher series can optionally wear them. Mario rocks dem sunglasses when he inhabits the Moe-eye statue in Odyssey. Robot from Steamworld Dig has them while he's mining sweet ore. Johnny Gat from Saint's Row (may he rest in peace).

This is the best content on KZfaq and I genuinely don't understand why it hasn't taken over the world. Maybe it's because KZfaq is viewed mostly by really young people and this content appeals to older gamers (30s/40s+) who remember all these games? idk but it's tragic

One time, Tim said on Twitter that he'd like to see a Psi-Ops remake. I replied that "no one wants that, what we want is a Burnout 3 remake." He shot back with "hey buddy, I'll block you for talk like that." Now I find out that he doesn't like Cool Spot. I understand it's not the best game ever, but it has some good music and in 1993 it blew my mind. So ya know what Tim? I'm the reason for your 2 year old headache. And I'm gonna make it worse.

Related, I recently bought yellow-tinted “sunglasses” for my own chronic migraines, looks like all that time I spent playing as Crimson Viper in SFIV may have had an effect on my subconscious.
