There isn't a lot of stuff I watch on the Internet but I have watched and still watch AVGN and love it. I like it because it mirrors my growing up even though I'm about 4 years older than him. Some of the games and specific spots he points out I literally complained about and had the same reactions to like on TMNT and landing the plane in Top Gun. I laughed so hard at that stuff watching it. I had massive nostalgia trips with Ninja Gaiden though I actually was able to beat that game unlike them.

Where I really truly enjoy him though is when he isn't being over the top with the nerd character but just kind of talking and giving you background information about the game, development, company, stuff like that. He has some really good tidbits and just general opinions and insights on the game and what it was like at the time like yeah it doesn't look like much now but at the time it was pretty impressive and kind of mindblowing.

I really liked here in recent history where he has been highlighting good games and he did my favorite NES game Blaster Master. Fucking awesome game and I have heard him use the music from it in other videos but never covered any thing about it.

So yeah I'm a fan, will always be a fan and I enjoy his stuff. But yeah it doesn't need to be the over the top skits with like games blowing up and shit. Just talk about it man haha.

Bible Games will forever be my favorite episode.

AVGN worked best when he stuck to the formula, but James is into higher concept more movie style episodes which usually fall flat.

I definitely like some of the over the top nerd stuff but I like when he is more even keeled. I think one of the best things he ever did was his "chronologically confused" bit about games and movies where he expressed confusion and WTF moments but without completely losing his shit. It was still really good and funny and I think one of my favorite things he has done.

i just checked, i think the most recent episode i saw was Seaman, thats around when i stopped. i felt the vibes were different somehow. enjoyed the hell out of that and big rigs but i stopped being excited even tho i was into him since practically the beginning

it's always interesting when i and what im interested in drift apart but i cant explain it. i wonder why? but im glad he's enjoyed a long career in this thus far. dude's the OG

feeling very nostalgic tn haha

AVGN is good up to about 2010 or so. Basically a year or two before the movie.

Anything beyond that is....yikes.

He's one of those guys I still watch even if his recent stuff isn't on par with the classics. Those classic episodes can't be beat. The first episode I watched was The Power Glove one and I was hooked. The crude and angry overreactions were hilarious and they also remind you of all the actual anger and frustrations you'd have while playing a bad game.

"What in the name of ass is this fuckness?!"

I also still haven't seen the movie. Even when it came out I wasn't really interested. I hear it's not very good anyway.

The ColecoVision AC adapter rant pops into my head every time I have to rearrange power bricks. And it's not AVGN but the "You know what's bullshit" printer video is the most relatable thing he's ever produced.

He still strikes gold every now and then. Go see the recent Goonies 2 video. He tries to do a mix of "classic" content and sprinkles maybe one or two longer, more elaborate videos every year.
