Sindra Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 You mean he hasn't done the world a favor and overdosed yet? I kid. I believe he was overshadowed in favor of Yahtzee. I'm not really kidding. Quote
Bigfoot Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 What's so bad about the guy? He also does other things besides his version of game reviews(which I've been watching since he called himself the Angry Nintendo Nerd) that are pretty good. Quote
Sindra Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 He always came off as being too fucking nitpicky for my tastes. Of course now that I'm doing video game reviews, I'm starting to be likened to him. Quote

It's not like they're 100% serious reviews though. He purposely tries to nitpick every flaw that he can find. Quote
zircon Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 I'm a big fan - it was great seeing him at MAGfest. His reviews definitely aren't serious. The AVGN is really a character, not HIS personality. Quote
Ferret Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Angry Video Game Nerd, Eulogic. But you knew that already. Quote
Eulogic Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 But you knew that already. alas, was it the existence of google that gave me away? Quote
Gollgagh Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Y'know, I just realized the last time I took a number rating seriously on any game was when my PSM subscription ended five years ago. I've been totally relying on the opinions of people I know personally, since. Quote
Sindra Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 I'm a big fan - it was great seeing him at MAGfest. His reviews definitely aren't serious. The AVGN is really a character, not HIS personality. This is true. I'm not saying he's bad as a PERSON. He's probably a really fun guy who I'd be happy to hang with. I guess the fangirl in me takes things a wee bit too seriously at times. Quote

Sindra Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 I would have never guessed Hey, fuck you. You knew that a while ago. =P Quote
Ashamee Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Nekofrog and I have watched his reviews since 2007. Some are pretty awesome, others are okay, but we enjoy what he does. His early stuff is extremely hilarious (Bible Games, I'm looking at you). Now that I'm thinking about it, I haven't watched the videos he put up for April. I really should do that. Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 You guys have to see the "Dick Tracy for the NES" review. If that didn't give you a sign that he's just "in character" of the AVGN I don't know what will. Bible Adventures review was fucking funny along with some chuckles with his Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker" review. Quote
SenPi Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 "Why the hell are you even capturing these ghosts? Cause bustin' makes you fell good?!" haha oh man.. the ghostbusters episode (the first one) was sooooo goood. I couldnt stop laughing. Quote
Avatar of Justice Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I'm a big fan - it was great seeing him at MAGfest. His reviews definitely aren't serious. The AVGN is really a character, not HIS personality. Yeah, he wasn't in character at all at MAGFest. It was sort've odd, I expected him to act a little bit like the Nerd maybe at the start of his panel, but no, he was just kind of chill the whole time. All my friends and I got our pictures with him! Quote
Global-Trance Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Watching his NES TMNT review made me pick it back up again... finally allowing me to beat it without losing a single turtle. Quote
Dunther Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I really love that man, he has all my rispect. He's a great gamer AND film-maker. Quote
WillRock Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I'm a fan, his reviews are interesting to watch and are funny to boot. Quote
Native Jovian Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Fake ZOMG NERDRAGE doesn't amuse me at all. I don't like Stephen Colbert either. Quote
Xenon Odyssey Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I'm not an avid watcher, but the few I've seen and remember were pretty good. Related note - I just found out he graduated from my college. Quote
zircon Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Fake ZOMG NERDRAGE doesn't amuse me at all.I don't like Stephen Colbert either. Have you ever played Silver Surfer or TMNT 1? They actually are that frustrating, if not more so. Yeah, the AVGN is a character, but it's funny because we all can empathize with playing (and being disappointed in) shitty games. Quit trying to be cool by hating on popular stuff. Quote
Gario Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 AVGN fan here. I totally agree with his Silver Surfer review, ironically, yet I still love that game... probably due to my countless hours invested into beating the damn thing (and the awesome soundtrack). Personally, I find that his jokes have been slightly lacking as of late, but he's still quite good. He's funny, yet looks at the games as a critic and a gamer. It's rare to find someone like that (Zero Punctuation is funny and a critic, but you know I tend to get the 'non-gamer' vibe from that guy... Not saying he isn't one, it's just the feel of his videos). Actually, the 'nerdrage' parts generally aren't that great, imo, but the cracks he makes at the games are priceless. Quote
JCvgluvr Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Love the guy, and have seen all of his reviews so far. I'm not too crazy about the "stunts" he pulls in his reviews, like when he tenderized Bugs Bunny, but sometimes it's still funny. His battle with the devil was fricking epic... Quote
