Eh I enjoyed the episode. It at least had some good points on the music. Agreed he should've touched on the newer games.
James is definitely getting a little old to be still doing the toilet humour but that's just him. He's still a funny guy.

It's probably getting close to the time to just retire AVGN. Its just a weird relic now of early Youtube and that dreadful "EVERY REVIEWER IS ANGRY" era. His old videos were decent, but I don't think his heart is in the character anymore.

AVGN is like the simpsons. Was pretty cool a few decades ago but its just the same shit being peddled and the only reason people continue to watch is nostalgia.

The ending was hilarious as they can get Doom to play on all that other crap, but not the commodore computer.

A second MM movie, Bad Taste, got pulled down shortly after release and replaced with a new one, which was supposed to be because of plagiarizing.
That said, it turned into a meme which made some believe that every episode is copied from somebody else.

I'm pretty sure he a mentioned a long time ago that he was pretty sick of the whole "angry schtick", but kept it there for branding. It did feel more forced the longer he did stuff, and I agree with you, I like when it's just his regular opinions.

Similar to watching the Cinema Snob. I think he's come to a good balance with his videos. Sarcastic/snobby reviews are still entertaining. But then he gives a review for a movie that he obviously loves. Tone of the video is completely different, but still entertaining in the way he's giving his opinions.

Lol, people really are miserable fucks these days if they get THIS bent outta shape over AVGN

Haven't kept up withe the last few AVGN vids, but they're usually still decent even if he's obviosly phoning it in a bit, but as the years have gone on, I just enjoy James talking about movies more these days. You can tell that's what he's far more passionate about.

But has AVGN appeared on the Simpson yet? I think the nerd did a episode their games, so that he the closer.

Bro wym I didn't watch the video before I posted this and turns out it was almost exactly right lmfao

ShotWaifu posted...

How to make an AVGN video:

1. Cheesy opener tangentially related to the game forcing James to play it
2. Save money with discount code AVGN protecting your data with NordVPN
3. 10 minutes of the history of the game/series no one asked for and how James remembered it growing up
4. 2 minutes of James being an absolutely terrible player and bitching about it being the game's fault
5. James tries to give up but is forced to play it again but we need 5 minutes of dialogue to get this point across
6. 1-2 minutes of gameplay again
7. 20-25 minutes of shitty special effects and James pretending to be a director and not a film school dropout
8. Hey guys check out our latest new series on Cinnemassacre
Literally the only thing you got right was 2 and 3

And "He'll have a sponsor and talk about the game" is hardly much of a predicition O_o+

It's always cozy/nice hearing how much of a big deal a game was during it's time and knowing more about him

Did we watch the same video? There was a cheesy opener with DOOM style graphics in his basement.

4 usually does happen. It not occurring during a DOOM video is pretty normal.

5 did happen

6 happened

7 happened

Only thing missing was the Cinnemassacre plug. But he did that in the beginning.

Because it takes up the bulk of his videos and extends the time. People watch AVGN for him to bitch about shitty games, not a history lesson that had nothing to do with the game.

Shitty game based off a movie? Let's talk about the movie more than the actual game!

I didn't find this episode to be very good but ocasionally he'll put out a banger of a new episode. Also geez some people get unreasonably angry about this guy. I guess that's always been the case to some extent but ever since that movie came out (which when I realized the first ten minutes weren't making me laugh I knew it wasn't going to get any better imo so I stopped watching. It was some version someone uploaded to yt in poor video quality btw) it's just gotten worse the piling on of criticism.

I don't like him as much as I did once. I'll still give every episode a shot and if I didn't like it. I'd usually keep my opinion to myself *shrugs*

He doesn't do that well either. His movie reviews sound like he's reading off the wikipedia.

Tbh I didn't even know Hudson Hawk was a movie. That was a better review than Doom. I found it interesting comparing the shitty game to the movie. Purrpals and the Last Ninja were some of his other better newer ones off the top of my head.

The X-Band is some story. Like I often think being an adult would have been so cool in the 90s. I remember reading that in EGM but how they got it to work at all is incredible.

Last Ninja was good.

Ironically that was because he tried to make it like an old episode.

Yeah, I've always felt this about his movie reviews. They were always the weakest part of the channel. He always gets a lot of love for his Monster Madness stuff, but if you go back and watch the old ones they are basically just a brief synopsis of the film.

Maybe they would be better if you were learning of a film for the first time, but like a 2 minute Wikipedia read of Godzilla Vs Mothra does not make for an entertaining video.

AVGN does.

I mean, I haven't seen a single person in all the years of AVGN say they think it's funny but he does it anyway because he thinks it's hilarious.

Hard disagree on the outfit though. That shit is classic.

Saw it last night. Pretty fun to see him have a good time and pretty reasonably tearing into inferior ports.

Hot take, I think the Nerd is at his best when he's actually playing enjoyable games.

You watch for a different reason than others, and that's perfectly valid. The sarcasm is unnecessary.

He makes a deal with the devil to get Doom to work, but the devil double-crosses him (naturally) by giving him inferior Doom ports to play.

I am sure there is Doom on the C64 that felt like a bait and switch to me. He never got to it (even if that was part of his joke har har har) I wanted to see some C64! I wasn't in a good mood yesterday but I felt like most of the video was still annoying though when he finally did look at some ports it got better then. I wish he'd grow out of the feces humor. It was funny when he took a shit on the Friday the 13th cartridge (It was one of those horror games) it was still funny on Bugs Bunny, but in that recent Doom video I didn't even watch that part, I just minimized the screen and the let video play out. That was just embarrassing that he would still do that.
