encey Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Some people have mentioned the Angry Video Game Nerd, so I wanted to see just how many people here watch this & enjoy it.\\ I was bored one day and started watching video game reviews on YouTube and went through all of "The Irate Gamer" episodes, at which point I noticed countless comments calling him out for plagiarizing the AVGN, so I checked that shit out and was hooked! I've now watched every episode at least three times, lol. The nostalgia factor plus vulgarity lols make this the perfect thing to put on in the background while I work. My favorite shows are the TMNT review, the joint review with That Guy W The Glasses on the Ninja Turtles rock tour -- hilarious! -- "Bimmy and Jimmy," Nintendo Power, Atari Porn, Double Vision ("Beee Sevuntaeenn Bahhhmurrr!!"), The Wizard of Oz / DSotM video, the German rant in Deadly Towers, and the epic four-part Castlevania review. AVGN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah, in 2007 I somehow stumbled upon him and spent a weekend watching all the episodes I could find. I still keep up to date with the re-releases on Youtube and watch his other projects too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexagon son Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 yeah i'm well into all his shit as well. he's been moaning about being burned out lately so i think we'll only see an AVGN vid from him once a month from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 hes going a little too into his own personal life now which i think combined with the longer wait for eps is really hurting his character....but yeah, avgn is awesome brilliant funky. nintendo power is probably my favorite...but his rant on the control scheme for SNES's Batman Forever made me IRL LMAO....shit is so true. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFvtk5toGJg its in about halfway i think... ok starting at around 9min is the LMAO part...its great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

encey Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Lol -- is that the same episode where he's like, 'You press down ... to shoot ... diagonally ... '? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Lol -- is that the same episode where he's like, 'You press down ... to shoot ... diagonally ... '? YES!!! its just so damn funny how he is : 1) dressed in a Batman suit with glasses over the top 2) exceedingly more angry than usual 3) starts twisting the control around his arms like a 5-year old, which is EXACTLY what i did when i played that game in frustration it almost sounds like he's borderline crying at that part, its so goddamn genius, he keeps yelling "fucking fucked up button combination is fucking stupidly fucking fucked up!", and then he realizes there is no possibly way to accurately portray the anger within him.

awepittance Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 my favorite review of his is for Castlevania 2 because most people hold that game in high regard but its actually quite shit and virtually impossible to beat without a cheat guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4we8iFk-fY i almost prefer just the voiceover ranting without the costumes and sketches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah, Yahtzee is funnier generally. But AVGN has more personality. We all want to have his basement and collection of retro games/consoles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah, Yahtzee is funnier generally. But AVGN has more personality. We all want to have his basement and collection of retro games/consoles too. while both are absolutely genius, i do also prefer avgn because of the facetime and he seems more like a legitimate nerd venting his 15 plus years of pent-up frustrations but i love yahtzee's animations and the quick wit....brilliant.

Chris Moss Acid Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 his video on film formats and watching cartoons in 16mm are awesome. you can tell (at least when he isn't AVGN) that he knows alot about shit and loves it just as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
