I really enjoy Spoony Experiment when he's talking about the games, but there seriously needs to be a memorandum for video game blogs telling them to stop doing loving awful skits with their retarded friends. This ruined AVGN's Batman reviews for me. A foul mouthed Joker? Hilarious.

Dominic White posted:Oh dear. Why is he reviewing expansive RPG timesinks (and not even bad ones) when he could be doing more great stuff, like his Pumpkinhead's Revenge review, which is probably the best merger he could possibly do between his love of schlocky B-movies and hatred of terrible FMV games. Holy poo poo, I had that Pumpkinhead game as a kid. I remember it being really difficult and confusing to progress, but I was able to make it to the 2nd dungeon. I forget what the objective was but I do remember it taking a lot of time to beat the level. The 2nd dungeon is really difficult, there are parts where you have to fight Pumpkinhead and he would always destroy me, could never figure out how to beat him.

I liked Spoony a lot more before he became a partner on That Guy With the Glasses. Since then it's like he's obligated to do crappy crossovers with Linkara and Angry Joe, both of whom are painfully unfunny.

Aside from you being the thousandth person to say this, I'm not a fan either but unfortunately most of their viewers like that. Does that make them retarded and/or devoid of good humor? Probably, but you pander to whos watching your poo poo.

If anything, we're seeing less and less of that poo poo as these blogs progress, so I have a hard time believing there's a huge population clamoring for it.

What scale are you using for seeing less of them? Edit:For James I can say outright the lack of skits is due to time. He already said hes going to stop making AVGN videos for a month and then space them out after, so he has more time. Skits take longer to do than just sitting in front of the camera and rapping about the game of the week.

He's doing a countdown of his favorite 30 movies on spike, starting with 30-21, or something like that. I can't watch the whole thing now, but I'm looking forward to it. http://www.spike.com/video/cinemassacres-top-30/3359042

If you haven't, I really recommend seeing his reviews of the Reb Brown movies--Yor: Hunter From the Future, Robowar, Strike Commando and Captain America. I started watching him for his game reviews, but those became my favorites very quickly. I named them in the order he made them, and that's the order you should watch them in.

The only film I've ever seen with Reb Brown in it is Uncommon Valor. It's actually a pretty good "Going back to 'Nam" flick. It has Gene Hackman in it to boot.

This is what sets Rolfe apart from the others. While some can be pretty drat funny at times, I feel they're always deliberately trying to be smug assholes. I also can't shake the feeling that a lot of them are tapping from their own personality. James genuinely eats this poo poo up, and his love for filmmaking and relics from the past shines through in all his videos. If he's taking a break so he can do more of his non-game related stuff, then it's a blessing in disguise really.

I have to admit out of the current tide of 'old rear end poo poo' reviewers, he's by far the best and most likeable. The guy actually seems like he's thinking about what to do when this review stuff finally gets old. I can't really say the same about the other ones.

With the exception of That Guy with the Glasses most of them have jobs outside their videos, steady or freelance. Posting youtube videos isn't exactly high paying. The difference is James is willing to give more insight into his personal life then many do.

I just went through like 12 pages and couldn't find it - there was another reviewer, one who looked really loving nerdy. He had the one video where he plugged in his gamegear to his nomad, a tv tuner and a bunch of other poo poo. Anyone know who I'm talking about?

That training video has to be the stupidest yet unintentionally funny thing I've seen. How can anyone put that together with a straight face? You can tell Spoony lost his composure when he heard the woman say "Booyah". I couldn't stop laughing at that for a minute. I want to find a game crazy and get hired just to see if they have any other train-wreck training videos. SWAT 4 Let's Play I haven't seen it yet, just posting it because it no one else has. Edit: As always, the Let's Play Swat 4 is great. They even bitch about him being in their way in the spawn point. That stuff must get annoying after a while.
