The Official Angry Video Game Nerd Discussion Thread

[Jorpho]

The mutant penguin review blew my mind. I thought I've seen some wacked out games, but that takes the cake.

There was also a DOS version, if you're interested in checking it out.

the penguin game's objective kindof reminded me of a pinball table

I should add that there's probably someone out there who is right now hard at work creating a game involving turkeys, monkey butts, and power lines, as per Mr. Nerd's specifications.

I wouldnt doubt it. Everything he says is turned into something, somehow. He reminds me of Howard Beale on the movie Network. "The Angry Prophet" that everyone listens to and takes to heart.

I have to say I enjoyed part 1 better than part 2. At times part 2 had good moments. Other times I felt that some stuff was forced. Oh well, it was entertainment and it was free.

well i'm glad someone else dislikes cybermorph and is haunted by the irritating green lady.

*looks around nervously*

although i know this forum has a legion of Cybermorph supporters from the bizzaro dimension.

Eh Part 1 was better. I agree with the Jaguar faults in actually working. Half the time I loaded up I got a red screen if every single cord/the game was not perfectly in place. (I even bought from a well respected member at Atari Age) Other than that I thought he could have used a few more actual game reviews for the system and a cd version review would have been nice (props for throwing down probably over 500 with shipping on the two cd units). I love the "after hooking up the other 47 cords that came with it" part lol.

I liked the two episodes, but compared to the exhaustive effort he put into that grand Virtual Boy review, this feels pretty slim by comparison. Seeing the games in action was nice, but that long bit of tech talk was boring filler at best. Instead of talking how his units didn't work, it would have been better to talk on the whole how Jaguar CD systems were notoriously faulty. Nice to have the brotha back, though.

I agree. His VB review was the best thing he's ever done. It wasn't "funny" (he didn't shit on anything), though, so who knows if we'll ever see something like it again.

irate gamer is better than that son of a bitch

Woah...don't even get me started on the Third-Rate Gamer, I mean Irate Hack, I mean Irate Gamer.

Same. That guy you just quoted actually went and personal messaged me "I disagree - Fuck AVGN". Seriously, who does that over a simple differing opinion?

It's probably Chris Bores (Irate Gamer) himself.

Maybe if we insult the Irate Gamer enough he will come to these boards and *snicker* SUE us. We all just lovvvvvvveeeeeeeeee his INCREDIBLY FUNNY and not INSIDE JOKE RIDDEN or RETARDED outtake videos.

"AVOID THE GROUND"

[Gameguy]

I'm not sure why people hate Irate Gamer, I watch both AVGN and Irate Gamer as they're both alright. I do watch others too, there's plenty of good reviewers.

The whole angry reviews thing is getting a bit old actually, how many years can someone do the same act while keeping it fresh?

Thats why I prefer that the AVGN keep the monopoly. It wont last forever and having someone harshly feed off the other and spread it isnt helping.

It's more than just someone, there's like 400+ people on youtube and other video sites that do the same thing, only plenty are terrible at it. As long as it's done somewhat creatively and it's enjoyable to watch it's ok with me, they're all funny in slightly different ways. Plus the more videos out there the better, one video every couple of weeks doesn't fill up too much time.

One problem I find is that people start bitching at other people on youtube who review games. I mean, if someone reviews a game that was reviewed by the AVGN (whether it be before or after the AVGNS review) The Fanboys come out and spam the comments with "you copied this from avgn etc etc, you sound just like, you are just ripping off bla bla bla"

I would do personally voiced game reviews if it werent for that.. Well, that and the fact that I sound very nasally and am insecure about my voice. .

That is true, plenty of people attack others for really no reason. How many TV shows out there are just ripoffs of others, nothing is really a new concept.

I'll post another good review from someone I watch, and isn't really that well known. It's an intersesting way to do a review(with no real budget anyway). He mostly reviews Commodore 64 games, which is different. This is an old review of his, I think he got a better camera afterwards.
