The Official Angry Video Game Nerd Discussion Thread

glad glasses guy is coming out with new ones

they both need to get on the ball and get new stuff out or they'll just fade into oblivion. It will happen sooner or later.

Sorta dislike the nerd going for the whole movie thing. The trailer looks really cheesy...I'd rather just see the 15 - 20 minute videos than the movie.

That's the problem, the glasses guy TRIED to get new stuff out. And it failed.

[IHatedSega]

Im looking forward to the Nerd movie, interested in how the zombies fit in.

[Jorpho]

And he's returned to us.

I thought that was actually a fairly entertaining film, and I didn't even get two-fifths of it. I daresay Rolfe has never posted anything of that magnitude.

The site's viewership TANKED after they killed him off.

Uh... How do you know?

I still miss Homestar Runner. The world seems like it has become a much harsher place in the last four years.

A couple of years ago I made a film out of Silent Hill 4, and Natali's videos were awesome to watch while making it. So theres more to that site than just him, but he is the main event draw, hope he makes great reviews again.

He's exaggerating. If anything, the news of the Critic being retired resulted in a surge of activity on the site, forum side at least. Those same forums have been jumping for the last few hours.

Rob apparently posted on the forums that Demo Reel will still be produced, as will the Nostalgia Critic style talk show talked about here: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/sit...f-tgwtg-and-ca

While we're discussing other series I want to say something about the Game Grumps. I can't tell if they know how to play the games some times and are just faking not knowing or actually don't know. Like take family feud for example on the episode they were playing the SNES game they seemed to not understand most of the basic rules of the game, they did understand though they had to guess the most popular answer in a poll. But they didnt get like the rules of the game. And the in another episode the one where they're playing the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen game. In the Begining they correctly peg it as a Mario party clone. And at one point point out they know they're each assigned a specific color. Then often in that episode they seem to dont know who's playing who In the minigames.

I have trouble watching Game Grumps. Like, by themselves, JonTron and Egoraptor are generally cleaver, interesting and entertaining. But once they started working together.......I don't know, them seem to make each other stupider. Less funny. Less cleaver. Completely not interesting.

[IHatedSega]

The first time I heard about Jontron was half a year ago when I was looking up Daikatana reviews. It was a really good review (besides him not mentioning how horrible getting up the steps to get to the Katana, and him obviously using a level select cheat to do the rest of the review), and I thought Id enjoy other videos by him. Then I saw the Charlies Angels review and totally hated his fake voice in it. I dont know why he changed it into that, made all his other video unwatchable to me.

PS The later cut scenes in Daikatana are the most cringe worthy but laugh your ass off cut scenes Ive seen in a game. Really, its worth using a level select cheat just to see them.

unwatchable video about an unplayable game. warning first sound is annoyingly high pitched, fuck man.

Every time I saw something about Doug Walker's new stuff, it was criticism about how it sucked. They make money from video views, so if they had to bring back the critic, things probably were super super bad.

[Tupin]

Game Grumps is informal and not very focused on the game on purpose. Let's Plays are overdone, the only ones I see without massive negative feedback are ones that make fun of other videos or don't even really rely on the game to be entertaining.

[JSoup]

That's nothing new and something that happens on pretty much every popular and unpopular thing on the entire internet. Assuming things are going poorly because some Youtube comments said so isn't a particularly wise idea. If you actually use/browse their forums there is just as much support as there is distaste for Demo Reel, revolving more around the idea that Nostalgia Critic was consistently good, while Demo Reel is hit or miss (so far).

It's not actually clear if that's why the Critic is returning or not. It's been suggested that this was the plan right from the get go, but Rob has been dropping hints that this was a recent idea and kind of just came out of the blue, all of it on the part of Doug.

[IHatedSega]

I love Troma. Everyone should check out Toxic Avenger, Troma's War and Poultrygeist. Or Combat Shock for a very serious weird take on PTSD, and it has a dash of Eraserhead.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Uh.



... uuuuuuuuuuuuuh what the shit?

Guess one of the animators was a fan.

[joshnickerson]

Wow. That made my day.

[Namakubi]

There's another cameo right before them, too: The cop / security guard looks just like Lupin!

Has Doug Walker or James confirmed they've seen this yet?

[IHatedSega]

Whos the 3rd man?!?

[JSoup]

Whos the 3rd man?!?

Probably just some random extra. Honestly, they are all just random background characters, they just made them look like popular people as a form of eye candy, mostly for people who are rewatching. You used to see this crap all the time in old anime, but the extras were made to look like other anime characters. If you're familiar with older anime, Iczer-One is a good example of this.

JesuOtaku posted that Doug has seen it (check the video comments.) No idea what James thinks.

[Jorpho]

It'd be kind of hard to identify him as James if it wasn't for Doug right next to him.

Kinda makes me wonder if the guy in the green shirt is supposed to be someone as well.
