^ Watch it
I've been watching his videos for quite a while, I'm a fan. Tho watch a few people come in here and "lol" at anyone liking him.
I like watching his reviews. and I still get excited when he makes new ones.
Ah yes, the Nerd. I enjoy his videos. I find them quite humorous.
The thing that really hooks me is the stuff he says.
! "That's like puking on a pile of shit!!"
@Buuhan1:

Meh, I can see that happening.
Yes, I am a fan and keep up with him as well.
Even to his latest Cinnimassacre "Rocky Jumped a Park Bench" expedition.
ah well im a new fan…and im addicted to his videos
Check out his Three Part Rant on "TMNT 3" as well.
It's epic. Especially when he whips out a katana and slices it in half.
Well, I don't think he's that funny. His facial expressions are great, but the nonsensical cursing, un-witty narration, and lame slapstick… I probably would have loved it back in middle school or something, but I don't think he's very good at all.
Now, Zero Punctuation, that shit's hysterical. A hundred times better than the Angry Video Game Nerd.
Zero Punc. is good too, i started watchin that a couple months ago.
I just watched his latest video: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33161.html
All I can say is "holy shit!".

AVGN was old fast, stale same old etc the only videos of his I remotly like are the ones about actual systems or pieces of hardware

What about his Silver Surfer game one?
Impossible to hate
I used to like the early ones, but now it's too obvious he is trying to be funny.
I've got to agree. I still watch the videos, but it's getting a bit stale.
If you guys want stale, check out Irate Gamer. He's pretty much gotten worse when people started to realize he was ripping off AVGN's ideas and had to actually come up with his own material in order to derail those claims.
I can't stand this guy, all he does is constantly swear about games most people know are bad. Nothing someone else couldn't do. I prefer Zero Punctuation. Atleast he is witty about it.
Love this guy. I don't think he's hilarious per say, just really entertaining. It also helps that his videos are usually very well-composed and have a high production value in comparision to most of the shit out there.
"WATCH THY FUCKING LANGUAGE!"
I like AVGN, at first I was a little put of by all the cursing, but now I just laugh my ass off. Especially at the Spider-man one.
If you guys want stale, check out Irate Gamer.
I'm not sure how easy it is for you to go stale when you're already bad on a level that dwarfs most B-movies.

The thing is that AVGN is a character. He resembles that very thing we used to be as kids when it came to playing god awful messes of the past. The raging anger that we couldn't release as kids because our parents would back hand up if they heard us swearing up a storm.
Yeah, he does swear a lot. But you know what? He actually does review the games rather than just saying "Yeah, that game from the past sucks. Don't play it." He does touch up on all the problems with the games and even brings up valid points we all thought of as kids. Take his reviews on the Sega CD, 32X and Virtual Boy for example.
Zero Punctuation is a completely different type of reviewer. He focuses more on current games and puts more emphasis on trying to review a game without stopping himself in mid-sentence, as well as come up with actual jokes for certain games.
There's a difference between being funny with the truth and just making up one liners to come across as witty.
Bunch of stuff
I see where you're coming from, but I still don't see the merit of it. The gratuitous cursing, the antics, the shitty games, I could do without it. Yes, Yahtzee's reviews are current, and they make an effort to be witty, funny, and insightful, but I'm not going to bash a comedian for trying to be funny or a reviewer for trying to be insightful. I don't like AVGN's reviews because I'm no longer an elementary school kid that giggles at profanity. That is all.
I thought his Virtual Boy video was pretty good.
Don't forget about his Nintendo Power, or Chronologically Confided ones either x)
Yes, I saw those as well.
ah, i should check out gametrailers for updates. thanks for reminding me.
AVGN is hilarios. well sometimes. at times he swears too much, or is a little too grotesque for me, but overall, I like the charicter. I appreciate how he takes the time to actually give a real review, and takes hard shots at it at the same time.
I showed it to my friends on new years, I think. They were watching videos for almost an hour. they loved the bible games one. My personal favorite, is still, when he figures out he can just walk across that ledge on the TMNT game.
Agnry nerd is PWNAGE been watching him for a few years and got the dvd.
one of the newer ones when it goes B 17 BOOOOMBERRR made my cry lol

Yes, he swears, but that's not exactly what makes him funny. The actual progress within the games are where it really shines, mainly because he's reliving the things a grand chunk of us older gamers went through as kids. Not only that, but you can actually SEE why he would be frustrated with these things, whether it be poor designing, horrendous gameplay or glitches up the ass.
If you actually think about it, Yahtzee's reviews arebasicallysomethinglikethiswhenwrittendownontext. You don't really see much of any actual video gameplay reviewing. Basically it's all just afterthoughts about games with some wit thrown about and non-stop talking.
Not to mention, there are people who didn't grow up in the times of the games AVGN reviews. So it's always fun for some people to see things they missed out on (in my case, the Atari 2600, 5200, the Intellivision and Colecovision) and helps make them wonder what the hell was going on back in those times. Then you also have the regular reviews, as mentioned before, with stuff like Nintendo Power.
If it was just about the swearing, anyone would be able to do it and shoot up into popularity. But because that's not the case, it becomes clear why no talent hacks such as Irate Gamer can't get anywhere.
I think AVGN is ok. He was alot funnier when obsene amounts of swearing was hilarious to me but he tries a little too hard now. I think that his reviews are always fun to watch from time to time but he's certainly not the best out there That's not to say he's bad of course, he's kinda above good but below great.
just watched his super mario 3 review. giggles nuclear waffles. :P I'm sorry, that was funny to me.
! and he didn't have anything bad to say about the game, so he starts this conspiracy about hell, and it just all goes insane. XD At first, I wondered, if I should be offended from a religious aspect, then I just laughed my ass off. WTH was that? cyborg, war machine jesus?!
THOU WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!
lmfao, that shit was crazy
I love his new video (Mario 3), the sheer insanity of the second half… I don't know why I was so amused, but damn. That was some epic shit.
As for Zero Punctuation, I can't say anything bout him cause I've only seen his previews on X-Play, but from what I have... I can't understand a word he's fucking saying.
I just watched his one on the Virtual Boy. I always thought that would be kinda cool…but now i know that it is one red "fucking piece of shit"
new vid out

"I shot down a duck by saying fuck."
I was laughing so hard during that part. I also got a kick out of the ending of Top Gun again. I also got a kick out of him trying to shoot the dog, God knows I did that everytime I played that game.
Wierd, I've never had any problems with my Zapper. Maybe I'm just lucky? =/
I watched his "Rocky Jumped a Park bench" videos on YouTube even tho I haven't really seen the movie series. I still found the videos good, different to see James not angry and cussing. Even further proof that the nerd is indeed a character and not him.
Anyone who thinks that he really acts like that is kinda dumb.
The top gun was fuckin hillarious…."ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
He was all into it and shit
My friends, I come to you with a sad announcement. The Nerd has been banned from YouTube. This intense act of faggotry must not go unpunished.
meh i dont watch it on youtube anyway
screwattack.com is the place
WTF?
Why in the world was he suspended 0_0
sigh.. (goes on YouTube and watches people ranting about his suspension)
What really sucks is that it's having a dangerous ripple effect. A lot of the people I know are taking down their AMVs because their afraid now of being banned.
Lol, they're idiots.
No skin off my back, he no longer posted his full videos on there anyways. I watch them on Gametrailers.com. I wonder if he's gonna make a little rant video on it for said site or not.
Didn't do a rant on his site, so probably not.
James did post a small rant about it on his MySpace.
Someone even typed it up and put it on a YouTube video.
Damn first Armake21 now AVGN youtube should've just gotten rid of the irate gamer first.
I can see a video where he goes to youtube, sees he's banned, decides to print out the logo on paper and take a giant shit on it all while nodding. Not saying a single word in the video.
Yeeaaah…
I watched his stuff entirely on GameTrailers, but I still hate it that ol' James lost his YouTube account.
