It's about damn time!
 

I'm so glad somebody finally has the marbles to rip apart James, The Angry Video Game Nerd. Straight from www.somethingawful.com, comes "The Furious Famicom ******:

One

Two

That's pretty much what AVGN amounts too, and hopefully he got offended when he saw those, or if he didn't yet, hopefully he will when they do. SCREW AVGN. People are starting to hate certain games just because he hates them, and it's because of him that people say Simon's Quest, TMNT and Top Gun suck. Before you know it, he'll be reviewing these games saying they suck, and others will follow suit:

The Legend Of Zelda
Contra
Gradius
Sonic The Hedgehog
Ninja Gaiden
River City Ransom

*sigh*, just a few I know off the top of my head, but the point is that all of those are classic, successful, timeless, popular games, and if James ever reviewed them, people would agree with him and think the games suck too. He even said he's thinking about reviewing "The Adventures of Bayou Billy", and IF HE DOES THAT, I will be SERIOUSLY pissed. Next somebody should rip on all the morons on youtube who cover his stupid theme song.

(mimicking singer's voice:HE'S GUNNA TAKE U BACK 2 THE PAST!)

Oh really? He's not taking ME back to the past. If I DO decide to go back to the past, it's by myself, not with him!

Thanks for the picture of the disgusting fat kid. Now I may die.

Make that two of us please.

Simon's Quest, TMNT, and Top Gun do suck. Boo-hoo.

I remember him mentioning liking some of those games before and I know Screw Attack itself likes them. And he won't diss games the site he works for likes.

Plus the people who think his videos are funny are a bunch of Hot Topic kids who don't even own a NES. They just have a NES T-shirt.

I own an NES....I find his videos entertaining. But thats as far as it goes. Don't make too many assumptions.

I have an NES, been playing since I could talk, never spent a dime at Hot Topic, and I find the videos funny. And that Famicom nerd video sucked. Badly.

Good games are good. SMB2 is good. Top Gun, Simon's Quest, and TMNT still suck.

I was entertained at first but they started to slump for awhile. I watch them still because sometimes he does something interesting but it's seldom. I did like his Freddy episode.

As for the game you mentioned yeah they do suck. Especially TMNT, **** that game.

I think he's damn hysterical. The follow up review he did on Ghostbusters had me rolling on the floor. I own a nintendo. I own TWO nintendos. I've played Ghostbusters I&II, Simon's Quest, Top Gun, and TMNT; not only do I think his reviews are funny, I tend to agree with them most of the time.


His videos are like walking through a nostalgic wonderland of rage.

I think that's all that has to be said.

You probably never thought that until he reviewed them. Anyway, Armake21 is alot funnier, and plus unlike James, people don't hate the games Armake reviews just because he hates them.

I think the AVGN's videos are great, I just wish he would rip on more Genesis games.

You sound like someone who hates something because it's popular, then try to convince people that their opinion is right. We got a few of those on this board.

Honestly, I enjoy his videos. I don't watch a video more than once, though. Once is enough, then it gets old.

I kinda find the "parodies" (and I use that term loosley) to be annoying.

No. Because none of those three games, I have NEVER seen a negative review of, nor have I seen anybody who hated them until AVGN reviewed them, and ever since he did, everybody hates them now, and they never hated them in the past. He's like a bad TV commercial poisoning people's minds, or those VH1 specials where they say things like the band Ratt is a one hit wonder, and they're really not. James I'll admit was right about the other games he reviewed, and people hated those games other than the three I mentioned before he reviewed them, but I can't stand the effect he's had on people! People are just hating certain games just because he hates them! They act as if he's some kind of messiah or something who's always right, and they also act like if you don't agree with them, you're damned for eternity and God have mercy on your soul, and I can't take it! Maybe James should review games that really do suck that people have hated for years, LIKE:

King's Knight
Treasure Master
Total Recall
Bebe's Kids
Hydlide

Games like that.

Agreed. Quite annoying.

His videos are awful. Awful. His first...two, were mildly entertaining, if you find over-used sh*t and d*ck jokes amusing, or you laugh at profanity. The funny part of his reviews tend to come from just pointing out awful design in some of the games, not from his, "I'd rather eat sh*t, choke on a huge d*ck and then lick my grandmother" rants. Unfortunately, all of his reviews tend to focus on the latter, and rarely on the former.

And MrOldSchool has a point that most of the games he reviewed were so under the radar, or just so forgettable, that people didn't hate them. They didn't know them. More people hate them now thanks to this guy, that fact can't be argued. However, he's completely wrong in assuming that everyone who hates those games now, only hate them because of this guy.

I wish AVGN would actually review E.T. for the Atari. I've seen clips in the intro, but have never actually seen a video for it.

I know what you mean. There's this show on tv, called the Daily Show? This asshole gets on and says things about politics and current events, BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS TRUE! What's more, after the show airs, the next day there are people TALKING ABOUT IT! LIKE THEY ENJOY IT OR SOMETHING! I can't STAND people who laugh at jokes that I don't find funny! UGH! Like this one time, this guy "Jon" they call him (what a douchebaggy name) actually had the balls to photoshop an image. I mean it's like he's focusing on only the bad parts of the news, and making people look stupid!

No, I'm totally with you on this, MrOldSchool. If someone says something offkilter, then they should be banned from the airwaves. Possibly executed. I mean, I loved Ghostbusters before AVGN reviewed it. It was such a satisfying experience. But afterwards, since I don't have a brain, I just blindly accepted his opinion.

Please understand, I do appreciate your ironic crusade of bitching about a guy who bitches about stuff. But he's more fluent at it, more mainstream. So naturally I have to go with his opinion in this one.

If only someone would free me from this awful spell cast by the media. If only, if only.

I believe everything the flickering boxes in my room tell me.

I like cake. Chocolate cake, in fact. Does that make me a bad person?

**** YOU CAKE EATER! Now everyone is going like to chocolate cake because you said you liked it! They'll never give pie a chance! Pie is a good dessert, too, but now everyone had their opinions swayed by your siren song!

TO HELL! TO HELL WITH YOUR CAKE!


Man this is becoming a spam thread so fast.

Pie rox...I love Voltron. I never knew how much I hated cake untill he told me I did.

Screw cake!!

Man, don't get me started on his even more douchebaggy friend, Stephen Colbert. He doesn't even know how to pronounce his own last name!

Playing them helps you think they suck. I never played Top Gun but those other two games suck extreme ass. I own both of them and their terrible and I thought that before I even knew who this guy was. Probably over 4 years before I knew who he was.

...so THIS is what happens when I go away for a few days! I should really do it more often... (Pst, Volt...this pie you are talking about, is it apple?)

I enjoy the Nerd's reviews, I must admit. No matter how many times he swears and talks about genitals in his reviews, it does make me laugh. It's basically an exaggerated persona of a frustrated gamer. His reviews do seem to be slumping in quality, yes, but I do find myself nodding my head to things he points out (or says exactly what I'm thinking). And that's coming from someone who never played these games before.

Honestly, I don't really care anymore. I watch his videos whenever I see a new one out, I laugh, I enjoy what he delivers, and I get on with my life. No one should be so uptight about what he does, since it's all for a good laugh. Well, that's my opinion, anyway. It's more than likely that other people think differently about this matter *shrugs*

Seriously, why get mad at a man when it's his followers who aren't having an open mind? If they follow his opinions, shouldn't you be complaining to them for not having a mind of their own? James does and he expresses his opinions in an entertaining manner. That's all he does. He doesn't tell people "follow my opinion, or else... you'll eat sh*t from a donkey's anus as it oozes diarrhea". He just states his opinion, puts his own little spin into it, and makes his audience laugh. That's all he does.

Ugh. I hate when people bash things that are so popular. It's pointless. Stop trying to be so anti-pop and just accept the stuff for what it is.

That's what I'm saying! I got'cho back, man.

Whew! Finally someone who understands me! Anyway, yeah, couldn't have said it better, Peanut.

I love the angry video nerd because he flames the games I grew up playing like tmnt and top gun.. the games were so hard and bad too.. i mean i can understand not everyone will like him. I do dislike his new theme the one with thetechno on the spiderman..
