That is not the first turbo game he's reviewed. He also took a brief look at Fighting Street in one of his earlier episodes a few years back. It might have been when he reviewed Street Fighter 2010, but I am not 100% sure.

I stand corrected. But still this is a more full look at the TG-16 a sneak peek at the duo and a much more popular game. I fear ut is not long until a AVGN episode on the TG-16 and Duo.
Granted I havent seen a AVGN vido posted on his youtube account in like 2 years so yeah. Maybe he doesnt post them on youtube anymore but I was never bothered to look at his cinimasicer website.
I will say I initally enjoyed the AVGN less so the many imitators then grew to become warry of game channels that felt the need for a persina.
I now enjoy gaming channels that present the reviewer as themselves jeanouly talking about the games and systems like game sack game chasers (although at time a bit to comfertavle in their bodily functions) and retro liberty.
Mind you in maby ways these shows are genious in that their popularity funds (imo) their gaming habbit.

I did find it cute how Mike was "I dont know what I am doing I think I am just getting lucky) as he jumped over spiked ball after spiked ball or how AVGN I honestly cant remmeber his real name at the moment did the double shotgun trick.
I all seeemed to be edited in a way to say oh look at us try this game out we have barly had any time with.
Now look how we seeminly master parts of it out of thin air.
Well la la la .......it felt so transparent I honestly felt a little annoyed with their smash cutting.
But then agai. I could be reading to much into it all.

I have had amazingly bad luck with taps. I still have the paperwork where I send a bad tap back to NEC in 1990 to have it repaired.

Agreed. AVGN, at times, simply sucks at playing games. Saw him playing Lester the Unlikely (which, honsetly, is not that bad a game) on the SNES as if he were blindfolded and getting stung by giant hornets that secreted opium from their stingers. It was just bad. ](*,)

I actually sometimes use the multi tap as a sort of extension for the controller, it's not much but it gives it a little extra length.

How do you be a video game nerd, yet never have played the Turbo? I mean serisously. It's been out before the Genesis and Super Nintendo, but you never played it before? That's plenty of time from then till now to find one and play it if you heard so many good things about it. Now, about 25 years later it's "Hey lets get into the Turbo and do some reviews on youtube so everyone knows we hardcore about Turbo ." I just don't get these youtube game review channels.

. I think AVGN never covered the turbo because it doesn't appeal to as broad of an audience. He's trying to maximize traffic and fandom, so the nes, Genny, and SNES are mainstays. On the other hand, he has covered crap like the 5200, and the coleco and intellivisions, which most gamers have probably not played.

It started out funny because. It was the first (high production) self made you tube video when it came out. He even got to go on Storage G4 when it was in its hay day in his nerd persona.
I enjoy the stuff he does when he is not in character and is speaking as a fan and general gamer who wants to discuss or share a game system or series
What I never understood was how the stuff he reviews or touchs on jumps in price when its usually junk or such a poor representation of a system I.e. sega cd that it still jumps in price for those of us actually interested in said system game or series.
But yes it is that mass appeal mass consumerism mass "shit load of f*cks" and toilet humor that the tweens teens and 20 somethngs crave .......
Sometimes I wish I could turn into a giant fist and punch a hole through the earth....

I would think that Classic Game Room would do more for the price of games than AVGN. I definitely have seen games on Chrontendo/Chronturbo and thought man that seems cool, I want to go buy it.

This I would agree.... I find marks reviews and general views on classic gaming as a while to be very alike my own.....then I see a review of a game I never knew existed then I go on the hunt.....
There are things mark does that have begun to anoy me .... For example how he will (as of recent) take a game and pretend to insert it in a diffent system not related...it was funny..then it was cute...now it is simply done to death......
But over all the guy is just like able..and watching the stuff he did for fun with his college friend from before the Internet or YouTube is interesting ..
It is after all how I learned of Truxton

It's interesting that Mike is usually the better player than James. I'm not sure how they were having trouble jumping over those spikes. Just hold the jump button down. Makes me think that a turbo switch might have been on and Mike figured out to turn it off. Hope Mike's Duo has new capacitors or the audio and other things will start going to shit pretty soon. Replacing caps on those is mandatory. Same with the Turbo Express. We've gotta change out Dave's Duo caps next week and give it s-video so that all of the Turbo recording on Game Sack won't fall on me. Doing his NES tonight.

. I thought the same thing about the turbo button. Its not surprising that Mike is the better player. If you watch a lot of the "story" videos or interviews behind AVGN, James borrowed a lot of the games and systems from Mike to review. Mike was also the one that encouraged James to make more videos. Without Mike there would probably be no nerd.

I think the turbo switch was up on the jump button causing problems. It was nice to see some Turbo love from the AVGN especially since Splatterhouse is my favorite Turbo game ever.
It's funny, I haven't bought a single game because of the AVGN but I have bought several games after watching Classic Game Room including Truxton.

When Mike Matei, his buddy, posted his "hidden gems" videos on the NES and SNES, all the games spiked in price. Hagane was a $60 game before that review... it now goes for $250+ If people thought it was bad before, its about get much, much worse. Cinemassacre's channel gets a ridiculous amount of views.

I am starting to wonder if AVGN and CGR and other big-time classic game reviewers aren't reviewing Obey more is because they are late to the bandwagon and they want to grow their collection before announcing how good some of these games are. It's clear that when some of these big names review a game favorably, ebay prices spike (which means everything spikes). I bet they are new to obey and don't want to hype it until they have solid collections. And I'm good with that. If they never speak of Obey again, I'll be happy because it's only going to make it harder to find reasonable deals.

If he's getting on the Turbo bandwagon it's probably because he's ran out of interesting ideas on other systems or the that that TG is just getting more popular. There is a Facebook page I'm on and TG rarely pops up but when it does everyone wants it and there is always someone who's like what this, looks cool, blah blah.

I can personally attest to this. The controls get wonky on some games when you use it this way. System > Tap > Extension > Controller is the proper order for everything to work right.

A guy who did two or three videos when he was in film school that friends thought was funny then a few years later this YouTube thing became a thing and he posted these old film school videos ...
That snowballed into a brand, a name, a series, recognition....right time..filled a need.
But what need?
Well when AVGN became its own thing other smaller scale things had also started ScrewAttack being one of them....the ability for technology to up and comers to do simp,e editing and mass media and availability to talk about Atheir anosalgia...
That breathed life into what many of us liked in the 80s and 90s..that being many of our first home gaming and arcades.....
Many of these individual groups combined into largers organizations their fan bases mixed and over the past few years many of us now earning more money want to reclaim their childhood.....or games and systems that we never got to own or play as a kid.....
Now it is all at its peak.....or many of us HOPE it is at it peak...but no
Their are still systems and games to learn about and collect for to add to our game rooms which only makes those from the beginning find their hobbies harder to collect for......l
My being new to obey am simply one more leech trying to get the same game you may want for a price neither of us wants to pay for but have to because there is more and more demand....
The only reall way for gamers to control the price are to sell and buy from with in the community and cut out the middle man cut out the reseller cut out the horder....
But to an extent that is only partly possible.

GameSack is quite possibly the best vg show ever. Metal Jesus is good, too. I'm not sure there are any others that can compete.
Spida's turbo reviews are good
Retro libertys stuff a bit of a spin off of game chasers but less crass and more teeny something meta humor
Game chasers - think American pickers
Happy video game nerd

Metal Jesus - Rocks! A very PC gamer at heart
Anything from retro ware

Lukemore -pretty much everything Japanies and arcade.
That one video gamer -tries to 100% games and give final thoughts. Good stuff but the sketches grow tiresome. In fact the whole persona need to inject comedy really bores me as I feel more relatable when the reviewers being themselves.
Glennpanet - everything N64 and fun
The rage ahold- funny but talks so fast it is hard to keep up with his word smithing
Gamerzofwar - fun stuff mostly pick up vids and personal favorits in series from various games
Petdore - same as gamers of wars but comes off as more of a horder then gamer...
Clan of the grey wolf - very technical breakdown of systems games and gaming companies
L1games - mostly a blog and gaming thoughts coming from a gamer who also has his own retro shop...it's like being best friends with your comic shop owner that you never get to visit his store anymore
Somecallmejohny - just a dude talking and playing games with a quality mic and good video capture. Nothing more
Satchbagesgoods - an art majors view on game and it's art direction.....just has a zen like way of coming at you ..... His editing and branding (style) is simply refreshing. No gimmicks no nada just an artist take on a game and it's design elements.
Chargeback foreword - really amazing videos but almost no activity of late
16butbrit - honestly at times seeing things from gamers not from America is a treat. And so is this Brit
Continue - three friends play the first ten or so minutes of a game live and talk smack and try way to hard to be funny. Then they say if they would keep playing froma 10 minute demo. I use to like it but the premise wore thin quickly.
Oldskoolbrian - think grisly Adams. Then think if instead of a bear he had games. And beer. About it.
Worldofnintendo - really just annual and semi monthly pick up updates and the eviloution of his gaming space. Mostly just seeing the annual videos with recaps of its grow just makes your jaw drop. It's what happens when a gamer focuses on just one company and goes balls out to make it unique but clean and organized.
Alpha omega sin - game the f*ck on.
Arcade impossible - one man and his prigress towards making a arcade in his basement.
Crtchad - really. It's like old school MTV. All videos and no talky talky ...of well arcades. Well mostly TVs all set up and hooked up to various arcade boards.
Guizdp - I think a Swedish guy who does stop motion animation with pearl bead art of iconic and reimaginng arcade sprit work......really fun stuff there
I could go on. I honestly have something lie, a 100 gaming centric youtuube guys I follow and almost as many toy and comics stuff. It's a mixed bag and you'll always find something or someone's work and view you like.

The important thing to remember about AVGN is that above all, it's a comedy show.
That said, some of James's ranting recently has struck me as very forced. I mean, I know it's a character and all, but I could feel more genuine frustration from him before. In the Tiger handhelds episode, I don't think he actually cared all that much, but he probably felt it wouldn't be an AVGN episode if he didn't scream for a while.
Hopefully, the movie has a healthy mix of James the actor and James the gamer. As for the show, I personally think he could easily get away with going more low key at times.

he takes what I asume are pod cast that he recoreds with a reseller friend (whome I am unsure if I find intersting, honest, or just plain snobbish) and takes snipits and repost them on his youtube account as though these 2-4 minutes videos are NEW videos to generate additional content.
Even then I feel like what ever micro topic he redirects to his youtube account is more "here is a questiosn" ....
and then gives no real insight apart from stating the obvious .....
If you are going to post a video probing into topics (at times he has mentioned intersting ones) then do a full video on it. Bring oposining view points, give more insight then questions, make it more engaging and meaty then a 2 minute blurb.

That's interesting as I thought he only had a full set for NES (granted saying the word only is misleading. No small feat).
He has a complete US HuCard set, yes. Don't know if he bothers with the CD games, don't remember him ever mentioning them, although he does have a TurboDuo, so who knows?

My biggest problem with the youtube game reviews in general is that it is just some 30 year old in his mom's basement and a webcam talking about a game that they liked on the fly. Worse is that charisma is in real short supply with these people. Clearly not many of them see the sun much.
I like Spida1a cause I don't have to see him. Why do we have to see any of these trolls (not in a Tommy Vercetti kinda way) anyway? Seriously, if the game is that damn good then show it! We don't need to see your translucently pale face garble up an unscripted video love letter to the game. At least gamesack, scripts their videos but still. Who really wants to look at either of those two at all? They got the kind of expressionless faces only a mother could love. I can actually envision them filming in one of their basements and finishing up wondering if anyone wants to see their videos and mom overhears:
"Oh, I think you make lovely videos, boys. I bet the whole world wants to see them." "Gee, ya think, ma?" "Oh, yes. How could they not? Now have some rice krispie treats and tang before you feed the cats."
Then there are awful videos like the ArthurDwolf ones. Why am I listening to your atrocious accent while you play an everdrive? Why make (terrible) videos from a flash cart?!
Metal jesus falls under the first category but also We need to address the names of some of these people. "Metal Jesus"? I used to be Christian and would have found his name blasphemously offensive. Now I am an athiest and can't help but find his choice in name to just be laughably ill-informed. Maybe he has viewers that aren't either of those but that means the name Jesus has no real meaning. ...Also his metal sucks as much as his dopy pale Kay (the twit brother from Disney's Sword in the Stone) face.
AVGN is different. His videos are about his reaction and not so much about the game. I find him to be hysterical at times but wearing thin on game insults at this point. Maybe that is why he hasn't gotten into turbo yet. What else could it be, right? I mean the turbo library has every bit as many cold turds as it does masterpieces.
Title: Re: AVGN goes Turbo
Post by: Medic_wheat on July 24, 2014, 01:27:15 AM
I always assumed metal Jesus was
A). Into Jesus and metal
B). Into metal christian music
Or some combination of the two......
As for not wanting to see the reviewer like alpha omega I also always assumed the reviewer or person in general simply didn't have a way to capture the game footage without it looking awful so they opt to talk about it with pictures spliced in or other footage. Usually he uses public domain footage of a trailer. I assumed so as not to rip off another persons videos
Lastly spida1a is great. He is largely who sparked my interest to revisit a system I knew little about. He has a pleasing non grading voice. Good editing, and a generally fun way to review his games. I also like his older stuff he made from a camera and VHS recording. It reminds me of how I use to use the VHS to record my high scores and play throughs.

I agree... Metal Jesus is a f*cking wanker. Most of what he does are pickup videos, and rare gem videos. I really don't give a shit to watch a 30 min video of all the shit you picked up at yard sales, or someone gave to you.

Well, you gotta give it a chance. It sucks, IMHO, due to pacing issues (most of us want action games on a console and the simulation vibe from Gunboat just turns folks off).

Oh god they did such a horrid job of it I think they might have actually turned some people off on it lol. Which is also good. Plus they had the turbo switches on full blast on the game. When it came to splatter house
Yeah they "try" and talk their way through games as they figure it out. mike still comes off as a dick with his constant juvenile remakes. "Hur hur game boobies". Mike you are just test driving a game on a weekend you don't need to tap into your inner frat boy douce every time you see a video game girl.

Dracula X isn't a particularly hard game; that was painful to watch. It seemed like they were going to try to play it the same way and never change how they were going about doing stuff. After continuously mashing on one button and dying to the same enemy you'd think that eventually they'd learn to try something else. They even mentioned the backflip but still never bothered attempting to flip over a charging axe knight...

You know I have this game and I've 100% completed it but had no idea you could moon walk or read signs so I actually learned something. They were terrible however I was back flipping over shit right quick.

That was really disappointing, and I couldn't watch very much. Amateur hour in all respects.
Also, I love the Nerd videos, and James is likeable as hell, but Mike drives me up a wall.

I refuse to watch this guy as he is a complete d-bag in real life.

I'm surprised people still watch this guy. His videos haven't been funny in years. Once or twice a year I still give him a shot just in case, but yeah just always let down. Cant understand how he still has a large fan base at all...

PC Engine is a way cooler name than Mega Drive, in my opinion.

What kind of name is Famicom? It makes me think family and computer!

I thought that is what Famicom meant. Family computer entertainment.
I was making fun of them bitching about the name PC Engine: "it makes me think of PCs and trains!"

That copy of Dracula X has been relisted more than once at that price, and unsold BIN prices mean jack shit anyway.

No I still see prices at or around the $120 mark.
So long as ever buy it nowhere do not go and start spiking the price without looking we should still be good.
I always find it shocking when a commonly priced $50-80 dollar game apikes to the $250 dollar range based ally on a new game in that series coming out or word of mouth rises interest in a game versus the game itself being rare or hard to come by.
Truth is most games are not rare there is only high interest or high demand for it. But sadly most people feel the need to call everything rare when really it is only popular.
