Third Rate Gamer (Web Video)	comment	The Third Rate Gamer is a Stylistic Suck satire of the infamous Irate Gamer, by FFL2and3rocks (real name unknown).Similarly to other Irate Gamer parodies such as the Save State Gamer and The Irritated Gamer, the Third Rate Gamer does intentionally poorly-written and acted reviews of various games, usually with deliberate references to some of Chris Bores' well-known memes and mistakes.The first episode, a review of Final Fantasy 3, was released in 2007, and has garnered enough positive feedback from fans to spawn 17 more in total. The last episode (and last video on the channel) was released in 2011, with the show seemingly cancelled due to "lack of motivation" by the creator. Longtime fans eagerly await an eventual comeback episode, if such a thing ever happens.

Third Rate Gamer (Web Video) / int_314afdb	comment	In-Universe Factoid Failure: Whenever he does the standard reviewer retrospective introduction, you can count on him to get at least two or three things comically wrong about whatever he's talking about. In Kirby's Adventure, he complains about Kirby having a sword on the introduction movie for the "Vegetable Valley" level, leading to him complaining about them not testing the game. Later on, he is also annoyed at how the game supposedly doesn't have a power-up feature in general. Guess which two aspects of the game he then discusses a few minutes later? The same thing happens in his Yoshi's Island review, where he criticizes the game's lack of power-ups before mentioning the helicopter power-up a couple minutes later: He believes that The Lion King (1994) is a Pixar film from the 1970's. In the same review, he claims that the game was never ported to any other system, complains about the use of "I Just Can't Wait to be King" as the background music for level 2 ("Do you remember this music anywhere from the movie?!"), and complains that you don't get any continues (said as he is showing footage of the continue screen).

Third Rate Gamer (Web Video) / int_3d2c6d30	comment	Skewed Priorities: TRG will sometimes spend a disproportionate amount of time complaining about a game's graphics, even when they were good for their time and his standards were impossible to meet back then. On the flip side, he's also willing to give good grades solely based on the graphics. Case in point: Ace Attorney, which got a 10/10 even though "the graphics are nice" was the only nice thing he had to say about it. TRG will often nitpick tiny flaws that are unlikely to interfere with anyone's enjoyment of a game, while he ignores the big picture.

He circles very easy to see things, and points out things the viewer can plainly see, like mentioning that each stage is harder than the last. In particular, the Cool Spot review has him drawing a circle and six arrows around the already quite visible player character, and explaining lots of stuff that should be obvious to anyone with even rudimentary knowledge of gaming, e.g. "you can attack enemies to defeat them" and "if the enemies hit you, you'll take damage, which is a bad thing because taking too much damage makes you lose a life and have to go back". Lampshaded, as he says he adds these explanations because "his viewers have never played a video game before".

He does a slight commercial break later in the review advertising a card game. We then cut to an actor who is not very enthusiastic about his opinion, and the bottom of the screen has a caption saying "NOT A PAID ACTOR". At the end of the Legend of Zelda review, he tells his fans to buy his DVD, which "is not rushed at all". The cover art is a terrible drawing in crayon, and the lines on the sheet of paper are clearly visible. He claims that his Simon's Quest review is original, but he uses footage from AVGN's review with the original sound still running in the background. In his The Lion King review, he tells the audience to see how slow Simba is running "in this unedited footage", said as he then abruptly slows down the footage.

In the Yoshi's Island review, the AVGN's shirt (taken from a shot which itself is badly lit) is poorly superimposed onto him throughout the entire video. When TRG dies in an explosion that leaves his house unharmed, the newspaper says, "Third Rate Gamer killed by lame special effect". In the Little Nemo review, he shows obvious clip art of a kid on a bike (with his face plastered over it) that still has a white background moving in an obviously-fake manner over another picture of a house. At the end of the Home Improvement review, a dinosaur spits fire on TRG's computer. A stock explosion appears when it hits, and then some obvious fire GIFs are placed on the TV, which is still playing the computer just fine. You can even tell that the "game" playing on his TV is really just footage copied from the Irate Gamer's review of the game, as evident when the footage on the computer cuts to his room.

Also, he is originally unaware of the power-ups in Yoshi's Island until minutes later in the review.

This is a Take That! to IG's Brawl review in which he mispronounces "Melee" - he says "mee-lay", while it should be "may-lay" - the American pronunciation and the one used by the announcer in the game. In the Legend of Zelda review, he tries to say "Lucario". It doesn't go well: Downplayed in the Yoshi's Island review. He can't figure out how to say "adaptation", so he settles for "adaption".

This was to parody IG's Tekken 6 review. He draws a cross over the Koopas in Super Mario Bros. while complaining there was more than one enemy in Yoshi's Island, which had not happened in a Mario game before. In his The Lion King review, he tells the audience to see how slow Simba is running "in this unedited footage", said as he then abruptly slows down the footage. In his Super Mario Bros. 2 review, he slows down the footage and complains about how slow the star is. Unlike when the Irate Gamer did the same, the Third Rate Gamer didn't even bother to mute the slowed-down music. His Daze Before Christmas short review has a death montage to show how hard the game is, and it's the exact same death scene repeated several times.

Third Rate Gamer (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
Third Rate Gamer (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: He tends to confuse Super Mario Bros. with other games, such as Super Mario RPG, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart 64, and Smash Bros.: Double Dash. Usually when showing just a small part of a game, he'll die at the end of the clip before cutting to something else. The footage sometimes shows him picking the lowest difficulty setting before starting. If there isn't a difficulty selection, he will grumble about how he can't pick the easiest difficulty. In almost every episode, he'll get attacked by a character from the game he's reviewing. In quite a few reviews, it's obvious he's using a cheating device as he will get hit, but receive no damage. Played for Laughs, of course. When words or an image are placed on top of something, a fart sound is often used. When he shows an image, he almost always zooms in on it for no reason. As the description for his The Lion King review puts it, "I hope you like looking at pictures that zoom in slowly!" He calls minor details that coincidentally happen to be in other games "direct rip-offs". "...which is only available on the [console]", usually with him showing a version of the game released on a different console than what he says. The Irate Gamer considered it a con in his Aladdin review that the game didn't unlock extra characters after you beat it. Naturally, the Third Rate Gamer turns it into a gag where he demands to know why he can't play as Jafar, regardless of game.
