Thread: AVGN (Angry Video Game Nerd) Is stupid, here is proof

  1. #1

    Default AVGN (Angry Video Game Nerd) Is stupid, here is proof

    Proof:
    http://www.somethingawful.com/flash-...icom-faggot-2/
    Probably my last rants for awhile.
    So if you hate games and dislike fun, then you're gonna love AVGN on YouTube.

    Seems stupidity is kinda the new thing on the internet, its amazing too me though

    But you can disagree or agree, we live in a democrazy so, power to the people (Enlightenment is your friend)

    I recommend playing a game though, its cool!

    sorry if this seems super weird of me or even rude i hope am not breaking any rules here but

    do you make threads purposely just to express how much you hate everything popular on youtube? i am just really curious i am not trying to be mean or anything.

    i am not really to sure who angry video game nerd is but i think i heard of him. what i have heard is like game theorists its a show. it is not supposed to be taken seriously it is called humour.

    i am not sure why you do not understand that and why you call people out for using sarcasm. i mean not getting something is fine but insulting someone for there humour is just dumb =/

    sorry everyone/anyone

    i just had to ask i a m not trying to be mean at all xD

    People take the AVGN seriously? I got the parody of the video that you linked, and I wouldn't put the AVGN on the top of the internet dudes I follow, but this parody had TRYHARD syndrome.

    I don't know. I guess it's too much to ask for some people to watch stuff that they enjoy, and avoid stuff that they don't have an interest in.

    I personally love AVGN. I watched through all of his videos this summer with my roommate. It's just a character that's not really meant to be taken seriously. I mean, James Rolfe in every video outside of the nerd character seems to be one of the nicest guys. His other series, Board James and Monster Madness are a lot of fun as well.

    Aside from the humor, I do think there are also some super interesting things about gaming history to be found in some of the episodes, too. It's also just kind of fun seeing how bad some of the games he plays are.

    I do think it portrays it well.
    True, we can like what we want. That's true, i am just trying to create awareness, to ask why they do think its good. Because i believe internet is a very effective tool, but much of it i think is a lack of content quality, which people are sucked into unfortunately.
    But you make a valid point on "Matter of Taste".
    Self awareness, is good in my opinion though.

    No need to appologize.
    To answer: I like to ask. No more no less
    It's chill.

    But do you think the game is bad because he says it is, or because you think it is.
    It can give you a false impression, i recommend trying the game and see for yourself.
    For example: I did enjoy "Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest", the idea of daylight and night time seems good, not that i ever tried it when i was younger, but "practice makes a champ"
    Its ham up type of anger, not funny because people do believe it, thats the problem. They believe he is an expert, being the spokesman can discourage the game, because of it.

    What i enjoyed:
    - The daylight and night time system
    - Heart to buy weapons and items
    - Puzzle solving
    - Realism (Healed the wounds in a church to get life back, instead of a chicken?)
    etc

    I don't think this really warrants two separate threads.

    Castlevania 2: Simons Quest was only his first episode (and I guess he did a bit with it in his four part Castlevania series). Honestly, that first video is pretty different from most all of the rest of his videos. He has some valid complaints for the game, though. I don't think it's a bad game from the bit I've played, but that's besides the point. Most of the games AVGN play are terrible games or at least have a lot of easily noticeable flaws.

    Even when there are debatable points he makes about a game's quality, AVGN is just a character he plays that's meant to be humorous and silly. A lot of it is stupid over the top humor, but the episodes are pretty well thought out with many hours of work put behind them.

    Edit: I probably shouldn't have bothered with this thread since I don't really have anything negative to say about AVGN. I kind of just want to talk about my favorite AVGN episodes.

    The guy does what he does out of love and humor. We've all been frustrated at stupid simple failings of games. They aren't meant to be critical game reviews, to convince you to buy or play 25 year old games, it's more like staying up all night in your dorm room playing NES with your roommates instead of studying for a final, and bitching at every little thing.
