twistedmentat posted:LGR (formerly Lazy Game Reviews) Seconding this guy! His hardware videos are also really interesting, one of my favourites being him building a custom 486: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbjYkPKRm-8 He's got a ton of humour, a nice voice and deals with some awesomely obscure titles at times, here it's Race the Nags: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mv_WqgE30k He also did LPs on LGR Plays, notably his entire The Sims 1-2 showcase (starring Duke Nukem!), but stopped doing those a while back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=show?lgrplays

Yardbomb posted:The Thing was a game with some really cool ideas to it that just couldn't really be done at the time, it's not that big of a stretch to give it a look over and think it's pretty neat for some of it's concepts. The worst loving thing was the blood tests, as the NPCs changing to Things was triggered by moving past certain points, so it was a completely useless feature. It did give a boost to party morale, but it didn't do its intended purpose.

Sir Mat of Dickie posted:It's nice that he manages to work his interests in horror, B-movies, and practical effects into his game reviews, a distinct little niche. His Castlevania four-parter was a work of art. Although I can't help but feel a bit drowzy when he's going through that awful N64 title.

Mokinokaro posted:Yeah he's outright dropped the skits and dumb plotline stuff. And the character stuff gets reserved for his special series like his October horror comic series. I kinda liked it, when his skits were just the frame for his reviews. But when he began having ten minute dialogues with Microsoft Sam or another guest star about jumbled nerd stuff, then it just became tedious.

elf help book posted:Bad early 3D games are so ugly that it's hard to even follow what's going on in clips like he uses. Look at his The Crow for Saturn review. His reviews of 3D games aren't as... I want to say cozy, as his NES reviews. They feel like he's just trying to plow through it, without trying to at least look for SOMETHING redeemable. AVGN works best when he's playing games from his childhood; he's justifying the entire system's existence, starting from the bottom.

Fighting's just you dancing through patterns, and the multiplayer's limited to such a degree that it might as well not be there.

Backhand posted:I don't know anything about this Boogie guy admittedly, but it IS possible to be a centrist, you know. Not everything has to be either 100% one way or the other. If ethical / social issues were truly that simple they wouldn't be such persistent problems. When one part of the argument wants gay people locked away in cages or murdered on the street, then it's not the time to make compromises, no. This is hyperbolic, of course, but going from Boogie's idiotic beliefs to that is surprisingly easy for some people. THE BAR fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Oct 1, 2018 |

I like his skits, especially the golden years stuff like the Joker and Bugs Bunny episodes. The Lloyd Kaufman one was also great. It's when he gets into a ten minutes shootout with an inanimate object, that I can't be bothered.

iamsosmrt posted:The thing is, while he wasn't "great" at the early AVGN games, he beat a lot of them, and considering he was always doing it on an NES, it's impressive. I figured he was playing the character up more as less competent for stories, but he still had basic fundamental abilities to play, and the things he pointed out as flaws were usually pretty legit issues. He mentions in some video, that he does cheat to get further into games for his AVGN material.
