    Yeah, I agree that he's as good as ever... the one thing I've never really liked about his videos is that he likes poop-related humor a bit too much, I definitely still think he's great...

    He probably is at his best when he's talking about a bad game and not a good one (really, T2: The Arcade Game is great... sure, the truck part is impossible, but other than that it's great. Yeah, it's simple. It's a light gun game. That's how they are. But anyway, at least he didn't say it was bad... now SNES T2, that was bad. ), but still, yeah, he's still great.

    This was a fun review. I agree with others, as I rather like this style of reviewing. The most amusing part for me was the SNES version where you see the Terminator's jump animation. I can't believe they programmed that into the game lol.

    Yes, I would say this is very true. He's evolving. His reviews seem to be getting better and better. As for the humor, it's hit or miss. But that goes for anything really. Some nights I think Conan O'Brien is really funny. And other times not at all. You can't really blame the guy for not being funny 100% of the time. Because NOBODY is funny 100% of the time. Either way, weather it's a really funny one, or just mildly amusing, he seems to always deliver in one way or another reviewing the games.

    It was a fantasic review. On the downside it opened up old wounds of actually thinking TMNT could do no wrong. In retrospect I can't believe I enjoyed the third live action film when I was a kid. Whoever was responsible for a live action, half-ass TMNT music tour should be punched in the fucking soul.

    I think the nerd is getting worse actually. He's not really that great of a video game reviewer as some of the reasons that he bashes a game are way off base and the only reason it was fun to originally watch his stuff is because of all the swearing and comments he made. Some of his new stuff isn't all that bad as it is still watchable.

    What's the reason you originally started watching the nerd? Probably because he's reviewing old games you disliked or even older games in general but rather than being entirely serious, it had alot of humor to watching it. If I wanted to watch a standard video review, I wouldn't want to watch one about a game I've played 20 years ago because I already know what the game is like, which is the reason I watch the nerds version as I know I'd get alot of entertainment out of them rather than just get information I already know about.

    One thing about watching the nerds videos is that some of his complaints are because of the players skill. James, if you suck at the game, don't use it as a flaw in your reviews. It's just pretty stupid when he cries about the games bad level design because you can fall down a pit and die or something else that is difficult but not game breaking like he makes it out to be.

    You know, if I had a dollar for every jackass that has whined about the AVGN "losing it" in this thread, I'd be able to buy the Red Sox.

    Yes, do we have to have the same freaking conversation every single time he puts out a new video!?

    "It just sort of stops, like the editor said, "Frak this shit, I'm done," and then ran off the project.

    Perhaps the funniest thing is that you can't tell where the actual video voice overs end and the dubbed-over jokes begin.

    They were reduced to tears multiple times (and received an apology from the Mads on one of those occasions, as well).

    My favorite line from the video was after the Critic says, "I remember it so you don't have to," and the Nerd says, "And I shit on your mom."
