StickySweater posted:In recent years, I've been of the opinion that although, I certainly liked SNES more when I was young, NES has more appeal to me now. It just has more quality games. I could spew off about 2 dozen good NES games. Less than half that for SNES. Whoa whoa wait, what? Are you seriously saying there's only a dozen good games on SNES? Because I would have to rather vigorously contest that statement. Maybe a dozen all-time classics, but I would say the number of good SNES games is closer to 50.

Perhaps I should have increased both of those numbers. I still maintain that the NES had better games on the whole though. Having a ridiculously large ROM collection definitely helps put things in perspective.

Ah, it didn't occur to me that each box inside the larger box was originally sold separately. You'd have thought for that for the full collection, they'd just order them in a non-insane way.

He looks (and acts) like the lovechild of Philip "GoodCow" Macaroni and Snazin Smith. Those two have a civil partnership, too bad they can't impregnate one another.

ChuckDHead posted:What possible explanation is there for the order of films listed on that James Bond collection? They were each released individually originally, then packaged together as a complete Bond boxed set. There is a new "You Know What's Bullshit?" up today about similar titles for sequels, which reminds me a lot of one of my favorite non-review-related AVGN videos, The Nerd Is Chronologically Confused About Video Game and Movie Sequels. (Apparently, "You Know What's Bullshit?" comes from one of James's other alter-egos, "Bullshit Man.")

The movie reviews are pretty cool, he balances humor and being informative well. The main thing I get from his game reviews is that he wants me to poo poo on his face, smear poo poo on his body, feed him poo poo, turn him into poo poo, make him a girlfriend made out of poo poo, poo poo on his games, poo poo on his furniture, make a game about making GBS threads where he plays as a piece of turd in a poo poo world making GBS threads everywhere, make him drink poo poo beer, sing songs about making GBS threads and make videos with lovely special effects in them. The dude likes poo poo a lot I guess. Jesus. I wish I was as enthusiastic about anything as he is about poo poo related activities.

He is great when he is simple, but then he tries to have a format similar to Alton Brown's "Good Eats" and that dosen't suit him well.

Yeah, but Volume 3 by far has the best ratio of good movies to crap. The only movie I can say of questionable quality in it is Live and Let Die.

A Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen review. It isn't the Nerd, but it's a 19 minute audio review with one of the production assistants (who was also a camera operator on some nerd videos).

A new Angry Nerd: Mario Is Missing! This is the NES version, so there's no Weegee around here, unfortunately (or fortunately?). But it does have a kidnapped King Kong who is somehow able to fit into a tiny money bag.

I like the informative ones, but I also like the stupid poo poo. He needs to find a better balance. But at least he covered all 4 games. I remember playing Mario's Time Machine on the SNES and just loving brute forcing my way through all of it, hoping to pass the few hours at my cousin's house hoping to finish it. (Yes, we had ACTUALLY got bored with Turtles in Time, his only other game, hilarious that it got mentioned)

I see he's still teasing us with Sega Saturn and Neo-Geo. I've wanted to see a Neo-Geo review ever since he had that clip of him weighing that King of the Monsters 2 cart.

I always thought he had some "lost" reviews, because he used to have a clip of Godzilla for the NES, but I never saw the video. I'm still waiting for him to do that one.

I really enjoy his reviews of older consoles. While I used to somewhat enjoy the over the top swearing, it's grown old (along with poo poo everywhere), but when he's actually discussing and showing off things, with the occasional little skit inbetween, is when I think he's hitting his stride.

He's usually great when he goes on a rant about the lack of sense in a game, but that whole thing is so outright absurd and he does it full-on justice.

I mean, I'm sure the game wasn't absolutely terrible, but there wasn't much to it, yet it was really the only giant monster game other than Rampage, and that game is even more repetitive.

I like to imagine that when AVGN dies, they turn his basement into a museum, complete with roped-off sections and tickets. That being said though, can anyone imagine him moving onto next gen consoles such as the xbox1, gamecube, ps2 in the future? The PS2 is nearing what, 10 years now?

He seems to do old school games as most of them are forgotten by now, and are less controversial as chances are, few people care about games he reviews. The most controversial reviews he's ever done were Metal Gear, Castlevania 2 and Ninja Turtles. That, and there are plenty of video reviews for PS2\Xbox\GCN era games already.

I used to give this guy a lot of poo poo and I made fun of him mercilessly when people were posting his videos for the first time and he wasn't even a blip on the radar. You know what, though? I'd rather watch his videos than any of the other stupid, dim-witted, I-think-I'm-hilarious NES reviewers on Youtube and beyond. He's clearly intelligent, his videos are well made, he speaks clearly, and he doesn't automatically go for the easy targets (like games everyone has heard of.) That said, the Mario 3 video was the worst piece of poo poo he ever did and I hope he feels ashamed. I know I felt embarrassed just watching it. Don't do that again.

Man, I remember looking at the back of the Mario is Missing! SNES game box in Blockbuster as a little kid, getting so excited that it looked like Super Mario World, and having my mom rent it, expecting Super Mario World 2. What a kick in the nuts it was to actually play it. I'm glad he reviewed that "game," because few he's ever done deserve it more.

His fans want all the poo poo humor and the over the top swearing.
