Angry Video Game Nerd.
 
Oh man, this guy is hilarious. He's definitely one of my new heroes! he's such a funny and cool internet game critic that loves to review and trash the worst video games in existence.

The Stryker 03-10-2009 07:47 PM

Am I the only one who thinks he's terrible? I never laughed at any of his videos.

Peanut 03-10-2009 07:51 PM

I don't think he's terrible, because he just did it for fun until it took off, but the kids who take his word as gospel, spreading it around, despite the fact they've never even touched the games in question, is nothing short of retarded.

In short, AVGN is a prety cool guy. he plays games and doesnt afraid of anything!

Ninjinister 03-10-2009 08:31 PM

I watch his You Know What's Bull$#!+ and Cinemassacre stuff every so often, but nothing else. If I wanted to watch some dude repeatedly fail at a game and string together profanity with nonsense I'd go to my brother's house.

ThirdMarioBro 03-10-2009 09:20 PM

I love his show, and regularly laugh my ass off at his material because it's funny as hell (and more entertaining than most of the garbage on TV), but the Nostalgia Critic is miles better.

Fan of both as well.

What do you think of Linkara's comic reviews?

ThirdMarioBro 03-10-2009 11:05 PM

Haven't watched a lot, but was entertained by what I saw.

NiNi 03-10-2009 11:27 PM

He's alright. Not all episodes he's done in my opinion are funny, but there are some that can get me laughing quite a bit, honestly.

anything involving screw attack sucks :o

AVGN and Nostalgia Critic rocks!

Barkworm 03-11-2009 08:04 AM

Brodie, were you drunk when you typed that?!

Cure 03-11-2009 11:17 AM

Is there some kind of unwritten rule that states we have to post on the drome if we're drunk? It sure seems like it.

Ra 03-12-2009 05:02 AM

I think so. Although I know one shouldn't laugh at a drunken man and his ramblings, it's just too f***in' funny NOT to.

Angry Video Game Nerd... I watch him from time to time. He's a bit of a hit-and-miss with me, but I usually get a laugh or two out of him. If it makes you smile, it's not all that bad, right?

Brodie 03-12-2009 09:43 AM

Wasn't drunk. I was wearing gloves. Its kinda the same, I guess.

Watch out! He'll report you! F*cking whiner.

Storm Wolf 03-19-2009 11:55 AM

I love the AVGN. I get quite a few laughs out of it myself. A lot of the games he plays were awesome back in the day. Haha!

I'll have to check out the nostalgic critic. Haven't seen anything by him yet.

I like some of the spin offs by other people as well.

When speaking of profanity...I'm pretty sure that's why half my 360 friends list are actually "friends" with me.....Sad I know....

Lisardo 03-31-2009 03:07 AM

I love that dude! His reviews are hilarious and oh so true! I esp. LOL'ed at his review of the Atari porn games on the Cinemassacre site!! His TMNT NES game review was funny too, as was his Friday the 13th one.

Cropsy 05-28-2009 11:16 PM

Does anyone agree or disagree on some of the games he's trashed?

pannoni1 11-06-2013 08:02 AM

I saw the AVGN in person at a gaming con at the beginning of this year and am planning to see him again New Year's weekend. Since then, I've marathoned all of his episodes over the past month and found most of these reviews as entertaining as practical, though I would still use Game FAQ's/IGN for literal reviews. My favorite episode besides TMNT was the Tiger Electronics episode recently done. I myself had a few of these, and do agree that they were after their time, and feel like they could have come out in the '70s. Of course not everything was bad; I had the Star Wars Rebel Forces game that came with a shooter and the game was housed inside a cool Darth Vader hat; the games also were great on the go and had longer battery life than Game Boy. But the "has not aged well" remark is indeed an understatement. However, I found the most hilarious part being Tiger's R-Zone which pissed AVGN so much he had to praise the virtual boy. Let's not talk about game.com and fooling you into being Internet related. I also found the second Looney Tunes episode involving all those sequels to be hilarious. And once in awhile, the AVGN does proclaim that some games aren't exactly terrible and are still playable. Speaking of his movie, this is what he'll be reviewing:

Atari 2600 ET

Peanut 11-06-2013 11:58 AM

This thread is from f*cking 2009.

Oisterboy 11-07-2013 10:26 AM

Well if we're posting here anyway...

I like him. I think he's funny and I like how he gets people interested in retro gaming. Actually he put the fire under my ass to get more games. I already was collecting, but his collection made me super jealous and motivated me to get it going and step it up a bit.

Icebot 11-07-2013 08:44 PM

I like AVGN. I think he's really funny when he gets angry when things don't go his way in video games.

XERO 11-17-2013 08:48 PM

So... has anyone play the AVGN Adventures video game yet?

Sh*t's friggin' hard.

chrisdude 11-18-2013 12:26 AM

One of my favorite channels. I subscribe to about 40 YouTube channels, and his is the only one I have set to ding my email when a new video is posted. Whether it's reviews, angry rants, or just 'James and Mike Play ____" (which may actually be my favorite), I just think he's an entertaining guy.

LeotheLateBloomer 11-18-2013 12:36 AM

I love James Rolfe. He always made me LOL out loud. I like him a little more than Doug Walker, even though I love him too. I love their rivalry episodes were they insult each other and duke it out. I also love their review on the Coming Out of Our Shells Tour review. These days, AVGN is busy with the movie and is now a father o_o, while NC is doing blogs on modern hit shows like Avatar, Korra, and Adventure Time. You'd think Doug would go back to watch the 2k3 cartoon or even the 2k12 one.

DarkLightDragon 11-18-2013 08:11 AM

He's only watching Adventure Time because that's what his fans wanted him to do. The Avatar stuff was just for the movie review and liked the series so much, he decided to do Korra (and since his brother is already a fan, he made some appearance in his vlogs).

Had people recommended 2k3 or 2012, I'm sure he would've looked into either of them too.

So...yeah, AVGN. Like his work.

LeotheLateBloomer 11-18-2013 12:13 PM

Doug's birthday was actually yesterday. He's a year younger than James.

One thing I've always liked about James over Doug is that James has always dugged deep into the development and history of a franchise like how he explored other TMNT lore outside the 87 show he fondly remembers, such as the Mirage comics. Whereas Doug was completely clueless to the mythology on his TMNT (2007) review.

Whatswiththeheadbands? 11-18-2013 01:03 PM

I like James' older stuff from 2008 the best. Although, saying that, my all time favorite video by him has to be either the Castlevania videos, or 'Plumbers don't wear ties'.

I still don't see how someone could think this was a good idea for a game

Trinxant 11-24-2013 04:14 PM

This guy is very funny one of the best episodes is the Virtual Boy and 32X reviews or Terminator games reviews for different consoles...

However, the last episodies are not as funny than the others.
