Nerd vs. Critic
YouTube - Nostalgia Critic vs The AVGN : The Last Showdown Build Up !!!
While SpoonyExperiment was my first glimpse into game reviews, I still love AVGN and the NC. All three guys are funny for their own style of comedy IMO and I have enjoyed the little "feud" between Walker and Rolfe.
Remember, October 10th. Mark that day in your calendar.
I like Critic More!
Because alot of the time he doesn't come out and say that it's simply "crap" straight up and makes it alot more enjoyable for me personally because he's that guy with teh glarses.
edit: btw! Is there a new forum rule that allows free swearing or something? the past two videos I've seen on here have totally had a fair share of profanity...

Linking it profanity is allowed, I'm pretty sure. Though there should probably be a warning.
Warning: The world isn't sunshine and happiness, nor puppy dogs or kitty cats. Bad words are not bad, they are words, so stop making such a big deal about them. Hearing the F-Bomb a few dozen times or having a case of the poopies isn't going to turn anyone into a rapist or a murderer. Stop living in a happiness bubble.
I'll watch the video in a minute and probably forget about this post afterwards.
I don't agree with that. But I don't wanna get off-topic soOriginally Posted by Bunny
Annnyways, I'm sorta excited to see where this playfight will go
These guys are not cool, nor funny.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
You're still in that whole "Hating things a lot of people like is cool" phase I see.
Don't worry. As you mature you'll make peace with the fact your solitary opinion means absolutely nothing to the world.
Just because I don't find them funny? You shouldn't assume anything. This is a forum, a place to post up ones own opinion, why do you need to make a statement like that? Because I'm not conforming my opinions to the majority of the board? Please, go get a life.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I agree with that in the case of AVGN, however... Guy with the glasses has made some epic sattire parodies and some pretty meaningful videos for me to keep interest.
Yeah damn those conformists! I mean it's not like the majority are what make society, culture, laws, government, what really matters... Oh wait, yes it is.Just because I don't find them funny? You shouldn't assume anything. This is a forum, a place to post up ones own opinion, why do you need to make a statement like that?

I have a life and anyone who recognizes their place in the world also has a life. What you're doing is basically defying what governs the world and you're accomplishing nothing by doing it. So if everything you type is an act of total futility, you would appear to have no life.
But I'll be fair. I too had no life for about 4-5 years. In those years i hated Final Fantasy VII. It was popular and I didn't get why so i lashed out against it. However I had a realization a short while back. Me hating on the game does nothing. It's totally and utterly pointless.
So I made my peace. I think what I do and don't voice out how much I dislike FFVII because I realize I'm unimportant to the whole.
You do realize Rolfe made what NC is doing popular, right? He's the founding father of pretty much every popular internet reviewer in this day such as Spoony, Armake and of course Critic.I agree with that in the case of AVGN, however... Guy with the glasses has made some epic sattire parodies and some pretty meaningful videos for me to keep interest.
He also retains the most popularity and recognition which further puts him above the rest.
Needless to say he's cool and funny on a whole other level.

That may be the case, however I discovered "NC" as Guywiththeglasses, I just think that AVGN ragefaces a tad much... sure he reviewed some glitchy games, but some also had fine amounts of "smurfing hard!"-ness (At which point he just caves in and says "SMURFING SMURFLY SMURFABLICIOUS SMURF!").
and uhhh, perhaps Omecle jumped to a bit of an early conclusion but~ you guys should just get along. You're both reminding me of a nice version of Cbc Vs Myself.
I love how you pick out Omecle's use of the word conform and warp it to peg him as a nonconformist. Way to take things out of context.
For the record, I don't think AVGN or the Nostalgia Critic are very humorous either. I'm going to throw that out there because--guess what!--I can. That's what a discussion is for, right? Sharing opinions? Just because mine doesn't line up with yours doesn't mean you need to get butthurt over it, chief. Take a deep breath and relax.
Way to totally twist my words, Forsaken Lover, as what you are discussing has absolutely nothing to do with this topic or what I am talking about. So basically, in a discussion forum, where we discuss our own opinions, I am not allowed to have an opinion on something because others find it good? Because it won't make a difference? What difference could I possibly be wanting in expressing my dislike for something? It isn't a matter of hating it for the sake of hating it, I don't like it because it is juvenile humour that I am not fond of. What is so wrong about that?
I don't hate things for their popularity, end of story. If you don't like my opinion there is no need to attack me, seriously.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
Yahtzee would pwn both these guys with his sweet hat, but it still should be a pretty funny showdown. I've seen some of their material - wouldn't say I'm a fan, but they've both made me chuckle once or twice.
Now who's twisting words?Way to totally twist my words, Forsaken Lover, as what you are discussing has absolutely nothing to do with this topic or what I am talking about.

I never said you couldn't think what you do. I just said it was wrong and why.
I can't stop you from thinking it or even typing it.
Well now you've made an actual critique and those can be readily destroyed while a pure opinion is beyond my ability to disprove.What difference could I possibly be wanting in expressing my dislike for something? It isn't a matter of hating it for the sake of hating it, I don't like it because it is juvenile humour that I am not fond of. What is so wrong about that?
"Juvenile humour" you say? Well I can only guess you mean things that are only funny to adolescents. Well that's obviously not true as there are tons of fans of AVGN and of the ones I know, all of us are adults.
Yes James swears and Walker is spastic...neither of those characteristics are unique to "juvenile humour". Sure James does do jokes about fecal matter but again, that only really plays a part in a couple of his vids. Well it's actually there (well a prop resembling it is there) but other times he just says it a lot. Yet his act consists of more than that. It involve sa lot of props, special effects, acting and it all comes together.
But feel free to judge what is and what is not "juvenile humour."
I have nothing against you personally. Your life is your life and none of my business. I also do not mean to attack or offend you on the personal-level. However you did attack something I like and when you say something someone disagrees with, you are open for a counter. I will not resort to namecalling like you dumb fag or whatever because that stuff is below me. All I'm trying to do is stick up for a person and artist I respect.I don't hate things for their popularity, end of story. If you don't like my opinion there is no need to attack me, seriously.
i'm sorry if I came off as harsh. I get a little riled up but I try to keep my attitude in check.
Well maybe I was unfair. Let's take a trip to Google to find out.I love how you pick out Omecle's use of the word conform and warp it to peg him as a nonconformist. Way to take things out of context.
Type in "nonconformist definition" and...
define:nonconformist - Google Search
Gasp. What is this?
"not conforming to some norm or socially approved pattern of behavior or thought"
Well, see, that's what I thought it meant from the start. And what did he say originally?
"Because I'm not conforming my opinions to the majority of the board?"
So I warped what he said by...saying exactly what he said. I warped his words by calling him what he is.
You've got me now!
So...your defense is "everyone has an opinion you suck for attacking mine"? How...unoriginal.For the record, I don't think AVGN or the Nostalgia Critic are very humorous either. I'm going to throw that out there because--guess what!--I can. That's what a discussion is for, right? Sharing opinions? Just because mine doesn't line up with yours doesn't mean you need to get butthurt over it, chief. Take a deep breath and relax.
And yes, this is what a discussion is for; you make an opinion or statement and have it challenged. Yet it seems you're not receptive to that particular aspect of a discussion. Your version of a "discussion" is we all say our pieces and live happily ever after. Sorry to burst your bubble but if you say an opinion, everyone and their mother has a right to challenge it.
I haven't gotten into him yet. I've heard he's inspired by Spoony and that's all.Yahtzee would pwn both these guys with his sweet hat, but it still should be a pretty funny showdown. I've seen some of their material - wouldn't say I'm a fan, but they've both made me chuckle once or twice.
