That guy is hilarious. I remember seeing his Super Castlevania video. Love his delivery.

"shit this, fucking that, blah blah blah omg its the internet i can say whatever i want"...very offputting. However, he's spot on about how annoying "Roll" *coughcoughAliacough* is telling you things you should be able to figure out on your own. They don't make games quite like they used to back then.

Yes but no. Egoraptor isn't a "youtube kid" - he's the man behind the ____ awesome series and his parodies are among the best anywhere. The man has a real talent. Especially worth watching is his parody series on shonen anime called Girl-Chan in Paradise. His constant overthetop swearing is part of his act. the "youtube kids" as you call them are all just piggybacking from his original comedy.
As for the constant annoying help in the games, that's from X5 onward with the X series, but also from the Rockman Complete Works/Megaman Anniversary Collection where indeed Roll IS the one giving advice like "jump over the pit or you'll die!!!!"

Since the infancy of the internet, people have been trying to be funny by being overly profane. He certainly didn't invent it, and even if he did, it doesn't excuse acting like an irrational dick in a video to try to solicit humor. I love me some Richard Prior and George Carlin as much as the next guy, but those are comedians performing an act. If I'm trying to watch something that's supposed to be informative, I don't need to hear "fuck this and fuck that" every other word. Yes there's humor in it, but people like him abuse it to the poit of overkill. It gets old and annoying. Especially the 200 decibel "I'M GOING TO BLOW YOUR FUCKING MIND" part.
Roll was the navigator in one game, Mega Man 2, and that was optional in Navi mode. Mega Man X5 made the stupid help sections MANDATORY.

Yeah I hear you.I could go without his constant swearing to get his point across too, but even so I enjoy his material. It's a certain kind of humor that won't appeal to everyone, but keep in mind this is the same guy who made Dragonball Z in a nutshell on newgrounds in like 1999 when he was a 13 year old kid. His progression since then is rather impressive, and his points about what makes a good sequel (and why Megaman X is an amazing sequel) are completely valid.
Seraph Man:
Admittedly, he can be funny without the need of a single curse word.
"Wait a second; flashback!!
On the title screen, I shot a green thingy when I pressed start. So how do I...? I'm gonna push buttons and...
Yeah! Yeah, lemons!"
I've seen this video more times than I care to admit, but that part still makes me chuckle.
