Thing to remember is that he's not quite the gamer most people assume he is.
He's an NES kid with a pile of other stuff he knows little about. And he's a film
maker first, gamer second. Pretty sure he wanted to retire the Nerd after that
Spielberg video. He probably brought it back just because 90% of his viewers
just want to see the nerd and don't really care about his other stuff.
I actually like his board game videos more than his AVGN ones anymore.
I noticed most of his good AVGNs are the movie game ones. and the original wave of NES ones.
I guess what bothers me most is when someone who basically only plays one type of game immediately starts acting like an expert on ALL things gaming. When they don't know wtf they're talking about, they turn to Wikipedia.
I just watched some idiots on a friends wall on my facebook. I am only friends with this girl to troll her and her stupid friends. They're your typical modern gaming scum:
OMG STEAM LAWL WHO WANTS TO PLAY MARPAR (mario party). When the PSN went down, they acted like it was the end of gaming. I told them to shut the f*ck up and play single player.
They only play games that make the cover of Game Informer. most of them work at gamestop. Most of them don't know dick.
Anyway, the chick says something about some game for 2$ on steam. then some dong licker says YOU CAN GET ROBOTNIKS MEAN BEAN MACHINE FOR LIKE 2$ TOO.
So I says to them "If I want to play Puyo Puyo, I'll play Puyo Puyo, on a real console".
Next comes the "Mean Bean Machine was released on the Sega MegaDrive in Japan, and Wikipedia says its Puyo Puyo with new art"
I replied with captainobvious.jpg and a youtube link to Puyo Puyo CD.
OBEY or gtfo.
Then he said Puyo Puyo sucks, and Neo Geo MVS had 5 good games. I put out a hit on the f*cker.
