Farewell, FamiKamen Rider Movie Commentary Released October 24, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
A few months ago the incredible online reviewer Kaylyn Saucedo, better known to the Internet as MarzGurl, released the feature-length film Farewell, FamiKamen Rider in honor of her late friend Justin Carmical, who you may know better as the import game reviewer JewWario. The FamiKamen Rider was a character JewWario originally created from his love of Japanese culture and is inspired heavily by Nintendo, Kamen Rider, and Super Sentai. Justin planned to produce an entire online series based on the character, but he sadly died before the project could be completed.
Some time later, Kaylyn and Josh Saucedo announced they would be producing a feature-length FamiKamen Rider film as a tribute to their friend Justin. The film was produced in about a year with a very minimal budget. When the final film was eventually released online in its two-hour feature-length glory, it quickly became one of my favorite videos on YouTube.
The filmmakers have confirmed that they do not plan to sell this film unless the proceeds could go to a proper charity. However, earlier this week, the filmmakers have rereleased the film on YouTube with a full-length commentary. If you ever wanted to know how much work goes into producing this incredible tribute to a beloved friend and colleague, give it a watch.
Rest in peace, Justin.

Anyone in the US that’s still on the fence about picking up the PlayStation 4 console should listen up right now. Retailers across the country have just announced that Sony is dropping the price of the PS4 by $50 tomorrow, bringing the price of the 500GB model PS4 to $349 US.
This price drop puts the PS4 at a perminant price match with the temporary sale price of 500GB Xbox One console (Kinect Free).
