Howard Stern commenting on videogaming and AVGN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbsY9PRTZeg
I think I just lot a lot of respect for that man. He just completely made us gamers out to appear like we are idiots.
Howard Stern hasn't been relevant in our culture since he moved to satellite radio in 2004.
People used to listen to him on the radio, watch him on TV, read his books, watch his movie, and talk about him around the water cooler every day. Now, I haven't heard his name mentioned in five years. In one fell swoop he went from being completely on top of all media, to being a long forgotten memory.
Don't be too sure about that. Hes pretty popular amongst xm/sirius subscribers and a lot of people joined sirius just to hear him. I know sirius' stock jumped when he renewed his contract this year.
Granted, requiring the subscription alienates some of hire former listeners, but hes still got a sizable audience.
A sizable, secluded audience. While a lot of people joined Sirius to hear him, a lot haven't stayed around, if Sirius's stock is any indication. Hell, he's popular with SiriusXM subscribers because he's basically keeping the service afloat.
This. Take a look at the guests he gets. No one A list anymore. Hey look out, Hollywood! Howard's got Doug Stanhope and Insane Clown Posse! Maybe David Arquette will call in for the gorillionth time.
It also doesn't help that the risque and shock humor he builds himself upon has been eclipsed by places like 4chan. He doesn't stand out anymore.
It's funny listening to this as Howard himself is a chess nerd and Gary is a music nerd. Especially Gary - the level of game nerds that we are pales to the level of music nerd that Gary is. But he'd justify it as music is cool and games are not.
Howard has always thought video games were stupid so it's no shock we get something like this when they discover a game show like TMG, which makes for an easy target.
You had respect for him before? He has a nice sounding voice, besides that he has no valuable content or opinion. What value has he added on any subject?
All I can think of with Howard Stern.

I have been a huge Howard fan for about 10 years now.
He still has his moments of comedic genius, but basically everyone, even on his own fan forum say he is a shadow of his former self. All his fans say he should have retired at the end of 2010, yet he came back for another 5 years contract...

Basically he gets paid so much money from SirusXM for his job that he can't find it in himself to retire even though the product he gives these says is mostly mediocre with a few bright spots. However he is good to listen to on a cross country trip, it makes the car ride alot faster.
Also to defend Stern on some level; he basically says these kind of rants because he hates waking up at 4am in the morning at age 54 and also because he has 4-5 hours to fill everyday on his show and he is quickly running out of relevant topics to talk about. He will talk about anybody or anything to pass time. Stern has also said in the past he use to be a gamer back in the 2600/NES days, but lost interest.
He is basically jealous of some gamers because they get plenty of sleep and he doesnt.
But don't worry gamers, he got on the wrong side of Lady GaGa who is 3 times more famous and she ripped him a new one. Wish I could find the link

Stern's show is a waste, his Sirius channel is a waste. What makes me irate is that Sirius, led by Stern's pal Mel Karmazin, has cut a lot of jobs and good people from it and XM, so they can pay Stern's bloated contract. The Opie and Anthony show is topical, 5 days a week, funny, and gets good guests.

Well, Howard 100/101 has always been awful filler.
Love him or hate him, if it wasn't for Howard Stern sirius would have already went bankrupt. Not an opinion but a fact. He has brought in the majority of the subscribers. When he leaves in 5 years sirius/XM will go under. Nobody wants to listen to static filled music from satellite. Also, I would consider Chris Rock, Jimmy Kimmel and the Foo Fighters to be A- list guests (all have been in studio in the last month). He had Ted Nugent and Dennis Rodman in the studio within the last week (not A-list but interesting guests). Also, making fun of Video Gamers (playing off the stereotype of geek) is no different than when Conan O'Brien would go to the Star Wars conventions and make fun of them. Its all in fun. Don't take things so seriously.

well better shit than nothing
Good update. I think he made a wise decision.
He had no choice. I like all his reviews, games, movies, TV, etc., though I don't get to watch them all. However, the AVGN character is what sets him apart, and to go on a 2 or 3 year hiatus would be I think fatal to the character. It's going to be tough I think to have the fanbase he has had, still in tact, whenever that movie gets finished. Honestly, his ship may well already have sailed, probably should have started the movie production a year ago.
