So the AVGN himself is going to be signing autographs at a local video game store here this friday. The downside is he's only going to be there from 2-4 pm and it'll cost me 10$ just to get in to see him. Think I'll skip, the 10$ doesn't bother me it's skipping half a day of work that kind of makes it f#cking suck f#cking pile of dog balls (insert random avgn swear rant here).
2-4pm isn't half a day of work. That's 2 hours.
Maybe he works 4 hours instead of 8.Quote:

That Conan game looks absolutely dreadful. Would have like to have seen 16 bit reviews of Last Action Hero and True Lies. There were pc games for Red Heat and The Running Man that didnt get ported to the NES for some reason.
I enjoyed the new video, glad he's back in the act. Too bad meeting him in person is too much out of my way.

Well, he's a Nintendo fan, more than half of his followers are too.
We all know how it's going to end, but I think it'll be fun to watch.
To be fair here, the AVGN has spoken of Sega in a positive tone in the past. I particularly like his review of MJ's Moonwalker in that regard. "It said 16-bit right on the front like IN YOUR FACE, BITCH!". :p
I know, thats how I know he's going to be wrong before I even watch it. I watched his video posted years back about how he saluted the Wii and re-enacted the console wars using the Genesis and the SNES.Quote:

The number of people, for example, who have no idea that dithered patterns form new colors on a CRT TV, for example. It's just... sad. There's no one left to pick up the torch for the Sega Genesis today, which saddens me. Because, while I have virtually every single console you can possibly think of, I struggle to name a single console which gave me more joy than my Sega Genesis. Only my Master System can match the sheer number of thousands of hours of entertainment it provided, and that's because I had my SMS for 5 years before I got a Genesis with Sonic 1, and played the shit out of it. Sega CD, 32X, Sega Channel... all of it funnels back into that little black box that I got on christmas '91. There will never be another game console quite like the Genesis.
