How do you feel about the Angry Video Game Nerd?

Hah, sounds like me. I'd totally do the streaming thing, especially if there was any money in it, but I have no idea how to do it and I can't figure it out.

I just started my first blog literally this morning so you can see how out of touch I am.

And I'm actually the "real" Angry Video Game Nerd, I just never had a camera when YouTube was blowing up. I've done the whole "fist through the wall, whip the cartridge across the room" sh*t, too, although I'm not exactly proud of it.

He's livin' my life!

Legit, the first time I found AVGN, can't remember what year but my wife and I were watching it, and she was like "This is the kinda sh*t YOU ought'a be doing," and I'm like "Eh he's already got there; the world can't handle two." He was already rich and famous by then; it does sting a little bit that we're both from NJ and have tons of the same hobbies and other things in common... and yet one guy gets to be a global celebrity solely because he could figure out his webcam.

Happy for the guy, just a bit of a burn that sometimes that's all it comes down to, y'know? Like if I were more tech-savvy, or had nerdy friends, I could'a had his life.

I try not to think about it too much, but yeah, it's a bit vexing at times. Really happy for the guy, though.
