Ian MacLeod, otherwise known as brutalmoose, is a video game reviewer on YouTube and (formerly) a part of the (now-defunct) Hidden Block collective. He does reviews mostly of PC titles, though he occasionally does console games too. His style is more relaxed than most of the other comedic video game reviewers on YouTube with a notably more informative direction, although he does mostly do it for the humor. He has since branched out to include reviews of old movies, videos, TV shows, recipes and frozen meals—anything with a retro or nostalgic charm, really.He also does occasional Top 5 videos, which are usually his top 5 games for a certain category plus a guest pick, and the Lightning Round, where he only gets two minutes to review a game.In 2016, he started a new show called Televoid! In this show, Ian reviews old television shows and instructional videos under the framework of an Ontological Mystery, in which he slowly realizes that he doesn't remember how he got to this location, and that someone/something is watching him and preventing his escape.In 2017, the surprising success of his Kid Cuisine video spawned the Brutalfoods series, in which he reviews frozen meals or prepares recipes from old cookbooks he finds interesting.In 2019, Ian started a series of videos showcasing various arcade games including coin pushers and crane games and introduced his new cat companion MJ who frequently features in Ian's streaming channel as well as the occasional video on the main channel.He does occasional streams on his Twitch channel and has a second YouTube channel where he uploads original music and stream archives.List of Episodes:

Guilty Pleasures: invokedThe entire theme of one of his top 5 lists. The same could be said for Ian's love of old video tapes finding them weirdly nostalgic, especially children's programmes that he can have a good laugh at that.

"No. Just… No" Reaction
 Brutalmoose (Web Video) / int_1e68311c
comment
"No. Just… No" Reaction: In Ian and Chadtronic's crossover review of How to Be Cool at Parties, one "fun party trick" involves a middle-aged white man pulling his shirt over his head, tying it down with a headband, and explaining, "This is what a sheik would wear on a festive occasion." The boys' only reaction is a single large subtitle saying "Don't do this."

Broke the Rating Scale
 Brutalmoose (Web Video) / int_24fbee90
comment
Broke the Rating Scale: Ian makes up a rating system for each of the food reviews: Lunchables pizzas are given Ian Points, with results ranging from -67 to BAD. Twinkies recipes are simply put in a top-4 list, except the bottom result is #85 out of 4 because he hated it that much, and #2 is skipped because he felt Twinkies were too incidental to the recipe that would have taken second place and that the final product didn't taste anything like a Twinkie. Hungry-Man meals are scored using a chart of emotions. Carla Lee's Nut products are awarded Nuts on Ian's Scale-O-Nuts.

Game-Breaking Bug
 Brutalmoose (Web Video) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug: He encounters a glitch in The Amazon Trail II where the game will randomly stop and kick him back to the main menu at random points. Subverted in the Bad Milk playthrough: the first time around, the game crashes on the final puzzle, but when he reloads it, the game successfully continues from where he left off, and he completes the final puzzle without any problems. His Iron Soul review had several bugs throughout the entire playthrough, but the one that fits this trope is a glitch that (for some reason was only in his game) was a glitch that made the first boss completely Unwinnable via invincibility.

Comedic Sociopathy: Ian has a tendency to nonchalantly kill little people in Brutalfoods episodes whether by stabbing them with a kitchen knife or crushing them with boxed ingredients or cooking appliances. This even applies to himself with 'Little Ian', a miniature version of Ian who has been held captive in a jar and then offered food only to have it swept away before he can take a single bite.

Popcultural Osmosis Failure: In spite of it being the highest-grossing animated film of all time, Ian reveals in his Kid Cuisine review that not only has he never seen Frozen (2013), he knows nothing about it. In his Spy Fox: Dry Cereal review, he says that Spy Fox sounds a lot like Maxwell Smart and Inspector Gadget. Both characters were played by the same actor, Don Adams. In his Bad Milk video, not only does he not recognize the line "The Walrus Was Paul" was a Beatles reference, but he also mishears it as "the walrus' paw".

comment
Genre Roulette: Ian's videos slowly evolved from run-of-the-mill video game reviewing to... whatever he feels like at the moment, really, as long as it's chill and reminds you of a simpler time. Quest for the Cosmic Crisp is probably the silliest: not only is the base concept (a video about Ian looking for apples) already rather out there, he admits halfway through that he just took a stroll with his camera and only thought of the Cosmic Crisp thing a long while into his walk. The video itself is pretty much just a guided tour of the Seattle Pike Place Market.

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Prior to Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise, Ian never showed up on camera. In his really early videos, his voice was notably much less enthusiastic yet quite calm. Ian's appearance changes throughout the years. Depending on which the viewer's more familiar with, it can be startling to see Ian with long hair and a messy beard (which some fans have nicknamed Hippie Ian or Jesus Ian) or Ian with an undercut and a clean-shaven face. Ian was much more liberal with Cluster F-Bombs in his earlier videos as opposed to the Precision F-Strike he prefers nowadays. The two Restaurant Empire reviews, spaced three years apart, illustrate this perfectly.

Logo Joke
 Brutalmoose (Web Video) / int_5473668f
comment
Logo Joke: Most of his videos use logos based on the game he is about to play. For instance, Humongous Entertainment game reviews typically have the logo formatted like the HE logo itself. As of late April 2015 (where the Hidden Block intro was changed), this was partly dropped, where the logo stays the same, but the background behind it is different for each episode onwards to match the scenery for the game he's reviewing.

Animal had a seriously bad case of this. The lack of a clear objective, clues pointing to places that weren't accessible, utterly stupid puzzles, and the things needed to be done for progress having nothing to do with what little Ian had to go on, all added up to make getting anywhere extremely difficult. Not helping is the complete lack of a guide to consult.

Creepy Circus Music: In his video on Bailey's Book House, Ian pokes fun at the "Three-Letter Carnival", which, when he actually goes there, just looks like an empty field with a bunch of objects laying around. He points out that even the music, which is a circus-esque waltz tune, sounds kind of sad, and jokingly names the song "It's Time to Die, Children!"

Guide Dang It!: It takes him nearly the entire Space Dude review before he realizes that diagonal movement is done via the numpad. Animal had a seriously bad case of this. The lack of a clear objective, clues pointing to places that weren't accessible, utterly stupid puzzles, and the things needed to be done for progress having nothing to do with what little Ian had to go on, all added up to make getting anywhere extremely difficult. Not helping is the complete lack of a guide to consult.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking

comment
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Happens in his Sonic Shuffle review; he says there was a time when Mario Party and Sonic the Hedgehog were cool, before listing off several things such as Sonic's later games and listing them off by saying "that was before that and that and that and that...and that..." ending on Elise kissing Sonic. Also occurs in his Fatty Bear review, where he mentions games these days are typically labelled as "violent, mind-numbing, and God knows what else." While he says this, he also uses text to list the arguments, but for the last thing, he uses "delicious." In the Sociolotron review, he encounters an NPC whose description goes on for three sentences about how obese she is, then ends with "Her mouth looks normal." In his Crisis City review when he makes up a story about an egg in the game, he says that "Some of humanity's most evil people were inspired by staring at the magical rainbow egg for too long." it shows a picture of Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, and Plankton.

Hypocritical Humor: Happens at the beginning of his LEGO Racers review: In the Living Books review, he calls the main characters immature, then randomly clicks on the words in the book to make the lead character say "Stinky was feeling me slowly". In his video on Lunchables pizzas, he makes mention of people who microwave them, claiming that those people are wrong, you're not supposed to do so, and you can completely trust him as an expert on whether they're meant to be microwaved because he's never done so. And, of course, he then immediately microwaves one of the three pizzas from the first meal just to be fair. This moment from his review of A Very Cool Christmas. Doubly amusing for anyone who's seen a Brutalfoods video. During one stream, Ian complains about people who don't CamelCase their usernames and thus making them harder to read, while his own is displayed in all lowercase letters. During the Summer School (2006) video, Chad immediately makes fun of main character Charlie for having a silly job. What is Charlie's job? Internet reviewer.

Lame Pun Reaction: His response to most of the puns in Spy Fox. Also happens at the end of the video when he says "Spy Fax" about a fax machine.

Rescued from the Scrappy Heap:invoked In-Universe. In his review of Freddi Fish 2, he finds Luther less obnoxious and more humorous, even feeling bad that he didn't like Luther in the first game.

Ensemble Dark Horse: invoked While playing Animal, the one character Ian actually liked was one of the biscuit guards who only says, "Yeah!", over and over again.

Sugar Apocalypse
 Brutalmoose (Web Video) / int_dab6a3a8
comment
Sugar Apocalypse: It happens quite a bit with Ian's dry sense of humor, but the best example is probably Poppy the Penguin. After making the video a tad too late for the holidays, he ended up reworking the concept from "penguin on skis" to "penguin left crippled and in horrible debt after a skiing accident that also killed his son". And then the penguin gets eaten alive. Bonus points for Poppy being made of popcorn, chocolate and candy, making the sugar part quite literal.

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: In his review of Super Solvers: Mission T.H.I.N.K. "Sorting things into appropriate venn diagrams rivals the thrill of sorting laundry. Selecting the appropriate car parts to navigate to the exit is slightly more exciting than trying to understand which overpriced cable bundle package to purchase. And the assembly line is basicly a nice little reminder that we're all going to die one day, and nothing really matters, and we're all just a speck of dust in an ever-expanding universe and no matter how hard I try, all of my accomplishments are going to be lost to the endless void of time! So, yeah. That's the assembly line."

Distracted by the Sexy: Happens accidentally in his LEGO Island 2 review, where during a normal conversation, Valerie Stubbins appears next to Nick Brick. He adds a Staggered Zoom onto her and drowns out everything else.

In his Bad Milk video, not only does he not recognize the line "The Walrus Was Paul" was a Beatles reference, but he also mishears it as "the walrus' paw".

Video Game Cruelty Potential
 Brutalmoose (Web Video) / int_f87c42d4
comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: To be expected every time Ian gets his hands on a tycoon title. Exploited relentlessly in Prison Tycoon 3, where he completely removes everything except the fences and turns it into a literal game of survival. In the Mall Tycoon 3 review, he constructs a mall composed entirely of a single long, spiral hallway leading to a store, then jokes about how customers are probably dying or panicking before they get to the store. In the Zoo Tycoon review, he talks gleefully at one point about deleting portions of fencing on exhibits, blocking off the gateway with more fencing, and then letting the animals maul visitors to death.

Running Gag
 Brutalmoose (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Several. Usually specific to one video, though the fans have a tendency to blow them up to memetic proportions. "This riverbank makes for a good restin' place." and "a piece of wood" from The Oregon Trail II. "Small amenities" from Prison Tycoon 3. "Tuna noodle, my favourite!" from Smart House. "Pizza pizza!" from My Magic Dog. One across several episodes is "plop" from the "Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes" episode of Brutalfoods, which he uses several times in later episodes as an Unsound Effect.
