AVGN playing arcade games at MagFest

[sosage]

LMFAO! That's one of my favorites too. Which video is it where the guy who plays the guitar sits down beside him for the video? The one part the music sounds like club music or something and the two start imitating it. My fav. AVGN video will always be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!!

Battletoads is one where the music guy comes out from behind the couch. It winds up he's been living behind there the entire time. That's a good one also.

I could never pass that Battletoads level with those damn bikes. I'll stick to the mindless fun of the arcade version.

I really enjoyed AVGN's review of Dragon's Lair.

 

[Mindl3ss]

yeah i'm not commenting on if he's funny or if people should watch him.

I was just suprised that he's what they could come up with as a celeb and the "fan reaction" to him. I'm going to be really sad if my kids grow up to be that lame.

If you check out his website, http://www.cinnemassacre.com you can see some of the other work he does.

He's all about old B movies and that kind of stuff, so that's where a lot of his cheese comes from.

I enjoy his reviews, but I'm not the one laughing every time he says some curse word, or throws the word donkey diarrhea out there.

Definitely something I won't introduce my kids to at an early age.

I actually only laugh at the donkey diarrhea stuff .

I personally think some of James' funniest jokes and wisecracks are those ones which are void of cursing.

My favorite of all the quotes, from the Virtual Boy review:

"Ocean presents WaterWorld.....how ironic."

I die laughing every time.

Bold = I hope you're being sarcastic.

If not: everyone on Youtube trying to be funny while acting frustrated reviewing bad games...they're pretty much copying what this guy started. He's hit n' miss for most people. If you didn't follow him from early on, his newer videos are likely gonna be miss for new comers. His most famous video is probably his TMNT for the NES review (cussing and shit...so...probably NSFW).

I fell out of love for PA about 6-7 years ago. Props for Child's Play, but otherwise...you know, I better just leave my opinion at "Props for Child's Play".

I don't know why everyone hates that game it's one of my favorite NES games. I hate the TMNT wana b arcade ports to the NES I would rather play the real thing. In my opinion its the only original TMNT game on the NES the rest are just crappy ports. On a side note I was only 2 min away from beating the fastest completion time in this game on the Twin Galaxies web page.


Did anyone notice that he puts water in his beer bottles now?

You're likely in the minority. I remember playing TMNT NES WISHING it was like the arcade version. The ports of the arcade that followed were great, but a little late IMO.

...and yeah. Everyone would prefer the arcade version over a port for most arcade titles. You took what you could get back then, especially if you were just a kid with a NES...and those ports weren't bad for what they were.

It's all for entertainment. He openly treats AVGN as an act, a character. I've always enjoyed his work despite the excessive profanity (sometimes it seems he's trying too hard to be vulgar, but again, I know it's an act). His movie reviews are pretty good too. My two favorite videos are the chronologically confused about zelda and movie timelines.

If we are talking about movie reviews, be sure to check out his classic review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.

Yeah I know, But as a kid I liked the other arcade ports. I liked that TMNT game though ever since I was a kid yeah it's frustrating as hell but once you learn the tricks it actually gets fun to play.

Man that movie could have been so much more than it was. I totally agree with the nerd that no effort was put into that film at all.
