Who gives a f*ck? He's stupid and not funny. That a$$hole's popularity should've been long gone by now! Makes me sick that not only are there people on here who find that jackass funny or cool, but there are people who still think he's funny period. BURN IN f*ckING HELL, AVGN. If anybody really finds crap such as the stuff that JACKASS makes, then Devo was right about what they said about human beings de-evolving. Idiocracy is turning into a GODDAMN MOTHERf*ckING REALITY, I SWEAR. The people who think he's funny also remind me of those idiots who are over the age of 15 and still watch wrestling (Wrestling sucks too!). I hate you, James Rolfe, and I hope you f*ckING DIE IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT!

P.S.Fighting Street is a GOOD GAME.

Your post is proof positive that some people are indeed devolving.  [-(

A 'good game', eh?  I suppose you also believe it features smooth controls, non-primitive game play, inspired artwork, and great voice quality.

It was f*cking 1989, for God's sake! And yeah, for 1989, those were impressive graphics for a home system. The only people who think it sucks just suck at playing it. There are games I'm not good at, but you don't see me ranting and raving about how much they suck! And how is that post proving that some people are devolving? Because I'm fed up with so many people thinking that talentless hack is funny or amusing in any way shape or form? And on top of that, sick of the direction the US of A and any other english-speaking country is heading overall?



You know, when I joined this forum back in 2007, I really felt like I fit right in. Everybody welcomed me with open arms, and I felt like there were some serious retro game fans here, but because of the fact that there are people who are fans of James Rolfe and his crap here, I'm having second thoughts now, because I'm convinced that most people on this forum are just a bunch of stupid kids who are wanna-be retro game fans, just like almost every single other gaming-related forum I go to.

Oh, was that your argument?  I missed where you qualified its quality by limiting it to a certain time period.  Not that it matters, though, as the sprites were no more impressive than those found in China Warrior and its overall presentation no better than that found in many of the early titles.
 
The only people who think it sucks just suck at playing it.

Riiiiight.  It controls like a dream.  :lol:

There are games I'm not good at, but you don't see me ranting and raving about how much they suck!

Nope, you save your ranting and raving for people that you don't find humorous and for those that do.

And how is that post proving that some people are devolving?

You may want to go back and read your posts; such inane puerility and wishful violence is hardly indicative of sophistication and advanced intelligence.  That isn't to say that I wish you to stop, as it's fun to laugh at hypocrisy and misplaced rage.

Because I'm fed up with so many people thinking that talentless hack is funny or amusing in any way shape or form? And on top of that, sick of the direction the US of A and any other english-speaking country is heading overall?

Coming from the world's biggest sailor moon fan?  Sorry, having a hard time taking you seriously.

If you don't like AVGN, don't watch it.  It'd be much easier than spouting off like a six-year-old about how nobody can have an opinion that differs from yours.

Just turn off your computer so that BIG SCARY VIDEO GAME REVIEWER can't hurt you anymore.

And to answer your other question: Yes, I find it hilarious.

That's rich, coming from a Johnny-come-lately such as yourself.  When you joined here not quite two years ago, you stated that you'd yet to own any PCE/Turbo hardware and had only been exposed to 'em via emulation, yet here you are calling all of us out as new comers and charlatans.  Please stop with the hilarity; I've already peed myself.  Twice.

At least Armake21 and UrinatingTree review games that really do suck, and are actually funny, unlike AVGN. Christ, what the f*ck was I on when I said most if not all of the people here are cool people and all? Because I was wrong. There should be more forums like the sega-16.com forums and the NES World forums, because those are REAL retro gamers, and they think the AVGN sucks, unlike the majority of everyone here who are just a bunch of wannabe retro gamers and think AVGN's funny.

If anybody really finds crap such as the stuff that JACKASS makes, then Devo was right about what they said about human beings de-evolving.

This monkey wants a word with you:

Listen, enough, the AVGN is an act.  You would know this if you ever met him, seen his other material (including his serious ones), or paid attention.

Calling PC-Engine fans poseurs is pathetic.  Kindly GTFO if you don't like us.

Your obnoxious, vulgar, uncalled for nonsense is more proof of de-evolution than a bunch of people enjoying the on purpose over-exaggerated antics of an actor.  You are the kind of person they tried warning Earth about.  Name dropping the Devo concept whilst carrying yourself like a piss-drunk crybaby really defeats the purpose.


and with that, I believe I have shoved the pole in the hole, if you get my drift.

I'm getting tired of that "He's just an act" or "He's just a parody" crap. Where's the parody here? I don't see any parody. I just see somebody acting like a jackass and just doing a bunch of stuff that's not funny. Plus he just says the same thing:"This game's a bunch of bullf*ck", yatta yatta yatta, etc., acting like a wimpy little bitch, relies on the same thing every episode, and I've seen him review alot of games, not just Fighting Street, that are NOT bad at all.

its not a parody.  ITS AN ACT. 

He is an established character.  He acts similar in every review because he has a character to uphold.  Most/all of the time he is over-exaggerating the quirks of games for comic merit, not for serious consideration.

Are you fully aware of the large fan base you are insulting?  Also, before you complain about someone saying "bullf*ck" etc, etc, I suggest you reread some of your posting in this thread.   You did it out of seriousness.   He did it as an act.

if you can't comprehend this, especially after reading his disclaimer or by seeing him NOT in character, then thats your problem.  Quit being thick.

you have the right to not like the AVGN.
But whining about how he's stupid and not funny and basically using the same hyperbole that the AVGN does, is fail.
It might have been funny in fighting street, but in console chat? AND general chat? WTF, dude?  [-(

Are you saying you think Rambo is a gem of an action game that captures the spirit of the film?  That it is comparable to contra as far as action,and ISNT a blatantly obvious zelda II clone?

or that the bible games are GREAT platformers? 

did you even see the part where he comes to enjoy SF 2010?

or the video about how awesome Nintendo power magazine is, or the ducktales video?

i think you're just jealous that he beat you to the funny-vulgar-videogame-ranter-guy position, and you're testing your pilot material for a rival show out on our forum to see how we like it.

and this just in: We dont like it at all.

Steve Martin

John Belushi
Chris Farley (R.I.P.)
Beavis & Butt-head

I've seen him review alot of games, not just Fighting Street, that are NOT bad at all.

The vast majority of titles that he has reviewed are considered by most to be worthless (or at best, mediocre); no matter how much you wish for others to share your viewpoint, games like Dragon's Lair (NES) and Fighting Street will continue to be seen as nothing more than shitty games by the vast majority of people.  Even the few 'good' games that he's panned (such as Castlevania II and TMNT) are unarguably flawed and lack the polish they deserve, and I see little wrong with exposing those faults and blowing 'em out of proportion for comic effect.

Your logic makes Spock angry.

What would he think of yours?  It seems obvious to me that MedfreeMike was bemoaning the repetitiveness of AVGN's comments, not the use of profanity.  :P

I never understood the big hoopla over AVGN- The guy has never once made me laugh.  He tries way too hard.  The games he reviews ON THEIR OWN are very amusing however.
Sometimes he makes me laugh pretty good... but sometimes he definitely seems to be trying to hard and forcing his act a little bit much to the point of becoming not funny.

I could do without the excessive profanity, which I don't find funny or entertaining - but profanity that feels genuine due to frustration with cheesy games usually cracks me up.

BTW, I feel that he's being pretty honest with his reviews of games. Castlevania II I always liked, but I can certainly see how it's not for everyone. I'm a huge fan of Street Fighter 1 (I even own an arcade Machine) but the controls in Fighting Street are no fun at all for me.

Interestingly, his experience with Street Fighter 2010 was exactly the same as mine as a kid. At first I was incredibly disappointed with it for all the same things AVGN complained about, but eventually I went back to it and cleared it. It's a really fun game once you get good at it.

CONTEXT: Historically, I have had mixed feelings towards AVGN, but ultimately I have enjoyed his stuff. Even when he is annoying, there is enough good stuff to counteract the bad.

AVGN's offerings on Swordquest and Ninja Gaiden were good and he didn't resort to the forced/contrived antics.

One thing that really sets AVGN apart from the rest of the crowd, IMO, is that he usually does a decent job incorporating a "guest star"/skit/creativity into some episodes. The Ninja from the Ninja Gaiden episode, the guy who does his theme song in Battle Toads episode, etc. etc. have all been memorable.

He has no budget, but he does an admirable job. His commentary is amusing, even if I don't always agree with it.

noone has to agree with him nor taking him serious by his words, since at the end it's all sarcasm anyway, as he also states in his disclaimer.

yes for doing this as a side-thing, its always been of pretty good quality as far as internet filming goes for this sort of thing.
