While Game Trailers has done a LOT of stuff: their shining achievement is POP FICTION. Essentially Mythbusters for videogames, and it's a lot better than it sounds

Some get more in depth than others

The one about MJ's involvement in Sonic 3 was really thorough and seemed to finally close the case on whether he was involved and why he wasn't credited.

Even the episodes with mostly obvious poo poo like Missingno are pretty detailed about why the glitch exists.

I am an awesome guy and I love to make out during shitty Hollywood horror movies. I am a trendwhore!

I've never seen someone whose comedic timing was so off. I've seen really unfunny things where I cringe in embarrassment- but this doesn't even elicit any emotion whatsoever.

When you lose the autistic crowd- you've really failed. I don't think someone has more succinctly explained why he's so bad.

The people who rag on the Nostalgia Critic while sucking RLM's dick really need to hop back a sec and realize that RLM ain't all that. They're better than most, the Plinkett reviews are fantastic, but they've been phoning it in pretty much since their Jack & Jill review. Their whole "Best of the Worst" series is unbearable for anyone who has ever actually gone trawling for bad movies for sport with their friends in real life-- watching another group of friends do it just isn't that interesting, especially when none of them are great improvisers nor particularly insightful.

In terms of other good reviewers I haven't seen mentioned SFDebris is a favorite of mine because he's light on gimmicks and heavy on brevity. His jokes are often hokey and don't really land, but he pumps out so much fresh material it's hard to begrudge him for not fine-tuning his writing, and sometimes he is genuinely funny. His bread and butter is Star Trek and to a lesser extent Doctor Who, so if you're not a fan of those or other pop SciFi you probably won't get much from him, but I think he's :coal:.

Lol that you literally thought there was the slightest chance he got better

...of SCIENCE! posted:

I don't know what's funnier, that Linkara freely uploaded dickgirl hypnosis porn that he wrote about Wonder Woman or that he has an official guide to cosplaying him

The first part is...news to me. (What the hell?) The second part ties into the same flaw he has that Angry Joe has: when they finally get around to it their actual criticisms do have merit, but they bury them so deep in embarrassingly nerdy poo poo and face-palming attempts at humor that...well, you know. Joe far more so; go watch his video for that Steel Battalion Kinect game; his gimmick absolutely wrecks the legit stuff he has to say about the product.

I *can* watch AT4W though, Louis' voice notwithstanding (he's apparently trying to cover his Minnesota accent). I'm a comic guy too and he picks some great targets. Joe's schtick I really can't stand. (But...I gotta say this: I was at PAX 2011 and wound up sitting in front of him during the AVGN panel. In person he's polite, friendly, acted like a pro (instead of, say, some egomaniac-with-nerd-fame shithead), and was gracious and courteous to everyone who approached him even when it was clear he's kind of on vacation. So, awful schtick, good guy.)
