Nah, that's an awesome response. Also, what if there's a genius in their universe named Einstein as well?

They say that, but they must have gotten so many remarks about that that they changed the line in the 3DS rerelease. He calls you "genius" instead of Einstein.

Rememeber when people were complaining about horse armor? That's small potatoes compared to the stuff gamers get charged for these days.

I hate to agree with the original poster, it's just kind of futile to make a fuss about it... it's clearly because of bad writing in a video game... which is like getting mad at pro wrestling for using the same villain cliches.

I wouldn't even call it bad writing.

Sarcastically referring to someone as "Einstein" when they do something stupid is so commonplace it likely wasn't even on the radar that "hey, this takes place in a fantasy world with talking animals in some other solar system/galaxy" would be an issue

And yes, the 3DS remake changes the line to "genius"

Yeah, lines like that (the old one) are great imo. The new one loses character.

Sometimes fourth wall breaks are a good thing.

I really liked AVGN's chill review of Nintendo Power. He touched on some old letters which were always amusing to see him talk about. I used to look at my old EGMs/PSMs and of course Nintendo Powers. I kept some still when I moved. I should look at them again. I never wrote into Nintendo Power though I wrote to Sega before asking for some hints for the game Landstalker or if they knew of any strategy guides and they surprisingly sent me an entire walkthrough for the game (it was all text) but it was way above the call of duty. I still have that somewhere.

Gaming then: "This $10 cosmetic DLC is bullshit"
Gaming 10 years ago: "Who cares? This DLC is only cosmetic. Let people buy it if they want to."
Gaming 5 years ago: "Ok this DLC is not just cosmetic it's really useful but it's unlockable without buying it if you just grind for a long long long time so technically you don't have to buy it"
Gaming now: "$10? That's a steal. I don't have a lot of time to play videogames all the time so it's actually really nice to just buy these powerups when I need them"

But those Clinton jokes are timeless!!!! Honestly I didn't mind that they tried to popular culture it up (maybe now it would be more lame but eh I haven't played their games in a long time). They did make a lot of games though like Popful Mail way more difficult than it should have been though. I remember getting extremely frustrated at that game, but I did probably have to just get better too and be more patient with my strategy of attack etc *shrugs*

Man, I miss Kyle. He was the best regular guest and his theme music helped put AVGN on the map. I mean, he obviously isn't a great musician or anything but he reminds me of the type of guys I always hung out with in school. Just an all-around cool guy who could pick around on the guitar and play video games with.

The Ikari Warriors and Battletoads episode rule. He was just such a normal fun dude. He was in the Spiderman episode too as Spiderman because Mike Matei couldn't fit into the suit hahaha. I deffo miss the guy.

This. God I loved the era when whiny nitpicky nerds were limited to writing in to their preferred gaming magazines, and editors shot them down left and right. I distinctly remember a mid-90's Gamepro editor responding to a particularly whiny write-in with "quit your bitching."
