The thought crossed my mind once or twice that this would be a cool idea for an episode, but I never thought he'd go and do it. Props to him. The wrestling scene prior to WCW/nWo: World Tour was pretty awful for the most point. Having owned or played most of the WWF games on the NES and Super NES, everything he said is spot on.

And the Hulk Hogan theme intro was pretty funny.

He's not doing the 31 day Monster Madness marathons anymore, so he has a little more time to get back to classic AVGN videos.

His quality is inconsistent as of late but when they're not misses they really do hit. Gameboy Accessories, Berenstein Bears, Mega Man Games and Seaman from the past 2 years are pretty good. He's only released 11 other videos within that timespan and they're all admittedly cringey.

I really liked this episode, but it kinda seemed like he didn't have a lot of games or material to work with. He ended up talking more about the good games than not lol

The intro is top tier tho

They made like 6 wrestling games too lmao and shitty toys. The thing is, LJN isn't actually the one making these games. They outsource a bunch of low quality low budget work to a bunch of random companies. Even HAL made bullshit for them, and that one sucked too

Then you get a studio that tried for some reason, and that was the Spiderman one lol

If their Wiki is listing everything then 46 games overall, one of which was never released, and then there's their video art console which James also reviewed.

There are very very few skit youtubers as consistent as AVGN tbh. People who are more consistent, say like Jontron, rarely ever uploads or have shorter or simpler vids.

Eh, it wasn't that great. I just can't get over the fact that his acting is getting worst and worst when it comes to him being "angry". I mean with that said, i do appreciate him doing AVGN episodes and will continue to watch them though. I did enjoy the Gameboy accessories and Power Ranger episode however.

Because Angry Joe was stupid and pissed off his fanbase. AVGN has yet to do anything of the sort.

Indeed, which is why I mentioned it. the only people or time avgn pissed anyone off it was a bunch of insignificant femists who were pissed at his refusal to watch or review the trash that was the ghostbusters reboot.

They had a good reason. Of the all the stuff he willingly watches and calls trash (affectionately or not), he refuses to see Ghostbusters and writes it off? In the video you're referring to, he's literally surrounded by shitty movies.

Not really.

He doesn't watch anything he doesn't want to see. He actively loves to watch "Trash" golden age horror films, but when Ghostbusters came out and he saw the commercials, he had zero interest in seeing it and so didn't.

Same as me for the record.

Being angry at someone for not seeing a movie they didn't want to see is crazy.

The only reason he made the video at all was:

1. People kept asking him about it.

And 2. he wanted to do a video about the history of the unmade Ghostbusters 3 movie. So did this as a lead in. Which is a really good video.

It was such a stupid thing to get angry at him for and the people who got angry couldn't even explain why they were angry.

The words "Dog-whistle sexism" and "Look he has Star Trek 5 stuff! What a nerd! That married man with a kid must be a sexless virgin" came up but nobody could actually explain how he did anything wrong at all.

Most hilarious of all is that ComicBookGirl made a near identical video herself before AVGN did and despite getting a high amount of views, nobody was offended.

So not only can no one explain what AVGN did that was actually bad, when a chick does it, it's not offensive.

I think AVGN handled it very well, never mentioned anything about gender swapping or anything. It's unfortunate he was being lampooned as a misogynist, but I guess it was because he cleared the check mark of being a "privileged cisgender white basement dwelling male" (even though he's married).

Funniest part is as much as it triggered his fans, James himself didn't care. I suspect he barely noticed.

45 (plus one unreleased game)

It looks like the ones he hasn't touched yet are True Lies, Warlock, a couple of Spider-Man games, and some sports games. And Pictionary.

He's mature and smart. I actually met the guy in real life and he's pretty cool. I did mention to him that he doesn't sound as angry as he used to. He simply said to me,"Oh, I guess I'll try to make the AVGN episodes on my bad day." Pretty sure he was joking with me, but I guess it goes to show he doesn't have "bad" days anymore.

I just saw it. I think he went through the review a bit fast, and I would've liked to see him review the games in the mid to late 90s as well at least. He does seem to force the anger more now, but I still enjoy his videos overall.
