Official AVGN Thread

I still find it interesting to hear them discuss nostalgic memories.

[cheaterdragon1]

His new videos seem bland to me. The lack of a proper intro and cut-away jokes really don't help either.

Bland describes that episode pretty well. The quote that NostalgiaMachine brought up was about the only interesting part of the review, the rest was just same old stuff we've seen from the Nerd before.

The only part I didn't understand was why he needed to bring up Mimal. It wasn't funny, it wasn't interesting, why bring it up?

[Saturn Fan]

That's not a new episode, not of the AVGN anyway. That's just them talking.

BORING!

The Golf video was awesome!

Same here.

James and Mike seem to get bashed quite a bit on YouTube. People bitch and complain so much about these guys, yet probably couldn't produce something of similar quality (both writing and production wise) even if they tried.

These guys are like my YouTube heroes lol.

[brainerdrainer]

Yeah people like to give people shit. A lot of people don't do anything with their lives and then they see some one else doing something and then they get jealous

[cheaterdragon1]

People don't like Nerd episode = They must be jealous

I dig them. They are good at it.

If those people that moan so much don't like it why do they even bother watching it.

Yup! That's the only possible scenario. They are either jealous, petty people or they love AVGN. You can't dislike him (or anything else) without being jealous.

[QuickSciFi]

I must be jealous, or petty or I must "love" AVGN, because I despise AVGN and his movie counterpart. Watching them on YouTube is like purposefully listening intently to someone scratch a chalkboard with their nails. It's downright nauseating.

I worked at TSTV for the University of Texas when I was in college. I could probably produce something of similar quality if I had access to the equipment. But I don't, nor do I have the motivation.

I can understand people bashing mike...but I always find james entertaining.

Although everyone here seems to disagree I like your comment. I'm sure not everyone who bashes him is jelous but I bet there's a good amount of people who are (but won't admit it).

Motivation deserves respect!

[TheSonicRetard]

The upside being that I DO have motivation to actually make games, not film myself talking about them. Hence, a net win for myself.

EDIT: Also, I love the AVGN. Only webshow I'll watch.

[Thunderblaze16]

I think everyone needs to see this video before judging.

100%.

That's always the dumbest argument I see people make. In general. I see it all the time. "I like this, and if you can't do better, shut up!".

If that's how you really feel, then maybe you outta stop watching the AVGN. I highly doubt he could make better games than all the ones he's criticizing. I'd like to see him make something better than Ninja Gaiden.:/

As for me, I have plenty of criticisms with the AVGN, such as his over-reliance on "characters" and unfunny, drawn out "comedy" sketches. These weren't problems with him initially, and I was a fan from the beginning. That's why I liked the 2600 Sports episode, because I felt it was a much needed return to the old style, and was much funnier for that.
