Used to be kinda into the whole internet review thing, started realizing with one series after another they tend to be kind of dumb. At this point I'm only really interested in Brows Held High and Rap Critic, both seem to be more sane, more familiar with their media of choice, and better comedians than a lot of the other stuff out there (as some people have already mentioned with BHH.) Lindsey's cool too but she seems pretty focused on Game of Thrones recaps right now which I don't care about. Brad Jones seems like a bro but his reviews just don't do much for me. Also Extra Credits is kinda but they have some good recommendations on actual, y'know, books on game design... Buried in one of their mailbag episodes from at least 2 years ago. Even as History/Discovery type brain candy for armchair indie devs, they're a league above Game Theory which is just bad.

It's worse than trying to watch Film Brain.

Sage is alright if you like anime, as is JO. She's more into modern stuff while Sage does old 80s and 90s shows. Unlike doug walker, these two actually know what they're talking about. If you ever watch one of the NC crossover videos with either one of these people, its embarassing to see just how talentless doug walker is next to them. He's so bad that he makes a fat metalhead wearing a flatcap bitching about anime adaptations look sophisticated

what the gently caress happened to RLM their Star Wars reviews were good and then their movie review show was OK but it kept getting worse, i stopped watching around the time they were complaining that Gravity sucked because it didn't open with a training montage on earth and half the episode is their unfunny sketches about hipsters and old people

RLM did peak at the SW and Star Trek reviews, but its Best of the Worst episodes are pretty decent in making fun at lovely movies.

Pretty much the only person on that site that I can tolerate is Phelous. I could do without the lame skits and stuff, but some of his reviews are actually fun to watch. Plus he's a Silent Hill nerd. And (old) Silent Hill is cool.

Nostalgia Critic "Reviews" are always "THIS MOVIE SUCKED! ....But did it suck? Maybe this movie didn't suck. Or maybe it did suck. Thanks for watching." The last video I watched of his was "Was JUNO really that good?" and his answer was "A lot of people liked it, but then people didn't like it. Maybe it was good, or maybe it was bad. Thanks for watching."

timp posted:I used to watch a lot of NC back in 2008 and then I saw that crazy longass review where there were tons and tons of internet reviewers there and it was scripted. AVGN was there and you could tell he was kind of embarrassed to be around all these other ACTUAL nerds You're absolutely right. James did manage to mature throughout AVGN's run. All he did was scale down the character - and make it 1/10th of the site. His (classic)horror knowledge is second to none, and his videos with Mike come across as "real" instead of playing up for the camera. He still goes to the "nerd well" from time to time, but the site has moved beyond that. His nerd videos are less of a crutch than when he started. His movie will probably be poo poo- and would have bought a ticket but it sold out where I would have gone. He's provided entertainment for 10 years and to pay for one "15 dollar ticket" seems like a fair penance. I'm surprised you guys haven't talked about Pat the NES Punk who I find really annoying.

The Cinemassacre series on the old Godzilla movies is really good. I never had many video games as a kid so the nostalgia factor of his AVGN videos are lost on me, but I'm a huge Godzilla nerd and I still rewatch a few random videos of his on them if I have a few minutes to kill.

From what it seems - it's Mike who actually had a lot of the other systems and games. And put them in so his "nerd credibility" was raised.

It's why James is actually pretty personable and charismatic out of character. Some of his videos on making movies or reading letters from fans are really interesting and funny. Mike is annoying though. That voice. THAT VOICE.

James is practically a film historian and in another era would likely be writing tons of boring essays and books about it.

iron liz has a tvtropes page (of course!). some quotes: " Bifauxnen: Iron Liz passes off as rather androgynous at first glance, and her voice does not help matters much, but upon closer examination her gender makes itself known." " Woman of a Thousand Voices: Her vocal range allows her to pull off both male and female characters pretty well. Ironically, her male voices sound quite natural, but her female voices don't work as well." also: "Furry Fandom: A skunk in her Ironclaw review."
