AVGN was pretty funny early on. His shtick has been played out, but that is mostly the fault of the army of imitators that followed.

nah its cause he wanted to bring his dumb cinematic poo poo into it because he wanted to be a film maker instead of keeping it about the games like he should have. 10 min. extended fight scene with mike takei in a bugs bunny costume. this culminated in the most incredible turd of a movie, which is entertaining bad for about 20 mins then painfully bad for the next 5 and a half hours. nostalgia critic's review of it is p hilarious though, you can see he knew it was a total piece of poo poo with dead eyes and a forced grin, but ironically these cliquey critics can only talk poo poo about successful people in real media and not each other.

I really like MovieBob. I think that when he's on his game he's actually a pretty good critic.

I also think he's a pathetic weirdo gently caress whose evident lack of self-awareness and social ineptitude beyond a very limited wheelhouse is entertaining as gently caress to feel superior to.

It's win-win from every goon angle.

I think he was smart in branching out and doing videos where he's not in character. The videos he has where he just kind of chills in his den and plays games with his friends are pretty fun to watch and a nice break from his usual, aggressive shtick.

I have a small collection of retro video games and systems. It's a fun hobby but Jesus Christ, "gamers" are the worst. Mostly, it's the people who buy consoles at launch and pre-order games that are the worst. They have this hosed up sense of entitlement that video games are serious business and Sony and Microsoft owe them for being the brave console warriors that they are.

Retro games has stupid hipster types that get super upset if you're not playing retro games the right way or they get all e-peen about their collection or some rare game that they own. Also, lots of big crybabies about re-sellers and scalpers.

Still though, the biggest man children are people like this guy who post 35 minute long videos about their "Gamestop pre-order saga". I watched this whole video because I just couldn't believe how stupid it was. I don't recommend anyone else try to watch the whole thing but just skip through the video a little bit and you get the idea. This dumb babby bitch really thinks the internet gives a poo poo about his bank not approving the charge for his online order for some stupid game.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

have you seen a modern big bucks Hollywood film? Michael Bay's 'films' are vapid garbage and cant hold a candle to the thrilling interactive experiences the video game world is creating. For example, the immersive narrative joy Gone Home, or the unparalled historical setpieces of Assassin's Creed: Rogue

I had some idiot accuse me of being a fedora wearer the other day because I was making some vaguely pro-socialist statements on FB.

I agree that like RLM and James Rolfe seem like pretty cool dudes and some of their output is the real deal, but their fans can get loving nasty if you act like they aren't all that.

I still occasionally get huge nerds spluttering at the fact that I still just keep my consoles from 10 years ago and play whatever I have on those rather than buying pre-orders for the latest AAA games and poo poo. They don't seem to realise it's because I stopped wanting new consoles/games when I became and adult, because they are essentially toys for children. I think giving money to electronics corporations each year is the only thing that gives nerds a sense of purpose in their short worthless lives.
