He said it on his website. Also, Ryaan proves regularly in the 'bender that he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

He did? I haven't gone there in a while, I see the videos after I see the trailers on Youtube.

It seems it's true. He's focusing more on horror films instead of games.

This is the one-off AVGN Halloween special for this year. Enjoy the rest of Monster Madness.

Aww.

Oh well. Thanks for clearing that up.

NOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! That's the sadiest thing I have heard all day.

[DuckTalesNES]

It would be awesome if he dedicated a month to the video games like he does w/ the horror films. The Castlevania videos were SO good.

I think this vid got lost in all the bickering of "IS THIS TEH HALLOWEEN VIDOEOOOO?????" nonsense. It's about the AVGN full-length movie that's upcoming and his other plans for the future. Interesting stuff.

Not to me it isn't. I visited the site after Gameguy pointed me to it, and I find his horror movie stuff to be much more enjoyable than AVGN. I mean, it's okay to have your own act, but it's pretty obvious he enjoys doing the movie stuff a lot more.

I wonder how the plot will work out. Interjecting game reviews/some story?

Another online reviewer called Armake21 did a "mini-movie" where the story was about him talking to some friends, and within the conversation a game's name would come from one of them, and it'd cut to a short review of the game. James would probably do it better than that but maybe a similar concept.

He made reference to the Wayne's World movie, which still captured the feel of the SNL sketches but expanded on the WW world. If done right, it could be great, just like the WW movies are. I have little doubt it'll be worth watching, as I've been entertained by all of James' videos regardless of topic.

Awesome.

[megasdkirby]

Didn't like it.

His latest review seemed bland. Without much emotion and a bit repetitive on the isses he was describing.

It wasn't bad, just wasn't his best work. Fair at best.

[jcalder8]

I would say that he is getting bored of the Nerd. This last effort was fine. Pure and simple fine. If all his reviews had been like this he wouldn't have lasted beyond the first one. I say he'll end it at 100 and that's the last we'll ever see of the Nerd.

[Kitsune Sniper]

... Way too much emphasis on crap jokes.

People post stuff like this after every single AVGN video. Am I the only one who still finds James's videos interesting, entertaining, and hilarious?

"Now *that* is the most embarrassing walk cycle I've ever seen."

"I'd rather play a CD-i game, like...The Flowers of Robert Mapplethorpe..."


When I watch a new AVGN video, I know exactly what to expect...and that's a good thing. I guess some people want the AVGN to reinvent himself in every new video. To me, that's stupid.

[Greg2600]

That was a poor choice of game to review. That's happened before, where the game is so dull and pointless there isn't much for him to rant on because it's so obvious. I mean, it's a given, platforming digitized character games were horrible.

You may have a point there. There's never been a number on the title card before.

I wasn't saying that I hated it or anything. I still enjoyed it but it wasn't anything special like it was in the past.

To me he is getting bored of the character and his newest video seems rather lackluster.

Here is a post I agree with. Lester the Unlikely is such a boring, terrible game. There really aren't that many "exciting" problems with it. It just controls horribly and has a lousy interface.

But the real question is COULD THIS BE THE REAL VETERAN'S DAY VIDEO OR WILL THERE BE ONE ON NOV 11??????
