Yeah, I can agree with that.

I'd also like to join this fine club, if that's okay.

I recently fell in love with the Nerd's Batman reviews, those two videos are hilarious, I love his rant on Batman Forever.
That and shoving the games up The Joker's ass.

He recently went in detail on one of his old movies, "It came from the toilet" funny to say the least.

behold the nerd bashes on a beloved game!

metal gear is his newest victim.

Him reviewing Metal Gear on the NES took me by surprise. It seems a fair amount aren't happy with what AVGN has said about the NES version off Metal Gear, but he still has legitimate reasons as to why the NES port was poor. Also, this isn't the first game review I've seen criticising the NES Metal Gear. PlayItBogart reviewed the game ages ago and didn't like the NES port for the same reasons. Fortunately, I have the re-releases of the Metal Gear games on the PS2, so I don't need to play the NES port of Metal Gear. :)

As it should be. Now, I love the Metal Gear Franchise, but that port was crap. I completely agree with everything he said in that review.

"I feel asleep"? Are you kidding me?

Oh well, they have to deal with it, the game sucks. I've played it, and I have considerably less patience than your average gamer.
That's why I don't fancy to Zelda games, except Link to the Past, that game had an actual navigation feature.

But people who liked it just have to swallow their pride and take someone else's opinion, like I had to do on the Nostalgia Critic ripping the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog apart.
Funny.
Finished downloading.

Why not emulate the MSX games? Those were the good ones.

I actually have an MSX emulator on homebrew, with Metal Gear, it's much more organized than the NES version.

Well, you have to remember that the MSX was a home computer in Japan. It would only seem logical that a computer could do more stuff than the NES. It can still be seen today. I'm sure if we compared the most up-to-date computer to a PS3, that the PC would win as far as power and capabilities are concerned.

New Video: AVGN takes on the Odyssey

Watched it a bit earlier today. Was an intersting episode but the nerd turd or whatever wasn't that funny. Either is the shit pickle in which he has in some of his episodes. The AVGN could put out anything and it would have a 9.5+ on GT.

I liked the episode, shows you a lot how in 40 years games could change

Yeah it wasn't his best episode and I was hoping he'd have Kyle Justin (the theme song guy) again since the Battletoads episode is one of my favorites. Though to be fair to him there wasn't much he could say about the Odyssey, it was basically two Pong paddles floating about with overlays you put on top.

The battletoads one was okay, but it was a lot more hilarious when Kyle dressed up as spiderman. As for the Odyssey episode I have yet to watch it, I'll probably watch it directly after this post.

Anyways this is my first post in this club since I didn't even knew this club existed, I hope it remains active.

I didn't really like the Nerdy turd but putting that aside, it was a good episode and like James said, you cannot go further back to the past in video games than this. It is interesting to see what video games looked like at first and what they look like now. All this episode needed was a better guest to be the second player.

I was totally expecting Kyle, then that thing showed up. If "it" wasn't in it, I would have enjoyed it much better.
It was still good in any case.

Like everyone else has been saying the Nerdy Turd was a downer on the video and I'd much preferred if he'd just had Kyle in there like I was expecting or even another special guest like The Nostalgia Critic or someone, that would've been awesome.

Anyway Cinemassacre 200 is a great documentary style short movie by James about how he got into making films and why he does what he does. It's really endearing to see how as a kid he made all these films, especially the part with the toys which is something that I did too so it really hit home. Also brings the message that you should never do something to get popular, you should do it out of love for what you do. AVGN was just one of his movies that managed to attract a following.

Late much?
Anyone who's been in this club for at least 10 pages should know all about Cinemassacre 200, I think that was made over a year ago.

I change my mind, The Odyssey was perhaps his worst episode yet, even worse than Star Trek. I know I previously said it's not bad if you can look past the Nerdy Turd, but the problem is, most of the episode had that stupid ass gimmick.

Kyle Justin would have been much better, but Nostalgia Critic would have been just as good. However, that would have only been if Doug was able to go to James' house again anytime soon.

Haha, a certain plagiarist could learn a thing or two from that message.

Well I was just watching it whilst going over all the other videos on his site, it's not strictly AVGN related so people might not have heard about it. I know of people that just watch his videos on GameTrailers/YouTube and don't even know about CineMassacre. Just wanted to give my own thoughts on it.

Perhaps a certain gamer, one who maybe becomes Irate.

Ah fuck it, he's so bad I don't even want to mention him. Infact, has James ever made any mention or reference to that guy himself? I can't imagined he's too pleased about it, but I know James is a really nice guy and I've never really heard him say anything mean about anyone else publicly.

Mentioning the Irate Gamer is blasphemy in the AVGN fan club.
We do not speak of the untalented one.

Dude, he's a Youtube sensation. Even his home town's newspaper says so. Does AVGN have an article on him? Does he?

I love AVGN! My favorite episode is the Bugs Bunny episode.

You do realize that the Irategamer is a joke and is really a poser. I'm not saying that because I enjoy AVGN, I was actually subscribed to both AVGN and Irategamer at the same time but a lot of youtube reviewers had a problem with the irategamer stealing content and just being an unfunny actor being a wanna be.

Perhaps you were joking, I don't know. I just don't like the guy. He is the Vanilla Ice of vide game reviews.

I wish the Odyssey review was like this.

With Mike I mean.

I wondered why Mike wasn't in it. He plays all the bit parts.

Nerdy Turd is s**t! Literally.

Yeah, I was.

And are you trying to make fun of Vanilla's Street cred? He's too legit to quit man.

The next AVGN episode will be X-Men. I had a feeling he was going to do this because of the new movie. Let's hope this review will be a step up from the Odyssey.

I think we all wish the review itself was like that. That would have made the review much more enjoyable.

AVGN - Xmen

THIS is more like, James back on top form. The video was solid, nothing too flashy and he didn't seem as angry as usual but still I liked it. Seemed to have Sonic 2 on the mind whilst making it, there was a few references in there. Better than the Odyssey video though.

Thoughts?

I liked it, I think Jame's should do a LJN games review. That would be pretty funny.
