Can't wait. I never watched any of these until very recently but now I watch one before bed every night like some kind of ritual, the stuff is entertaining.

i think mike has been pretty quality lately! Not nerd level, not that he needs to be, but he's holding his own for sure.

Nerd is great. I have spent one entire work day watching all his episodes. Fantastic stuff if you played the games he talks about when you were a kid.
He said on the 16th he was editing, so it seems a bit silly for him to tease like that.More details like coming in 2-3 weeks or something?
Here's his spoiler-free review of The Dark Knight Rises. http://cinemassacre.com/2012/07/21/dark-knight-rises-review/
Unlike most of the internet, he actually likes it. Good on him.

I guess I'm just looking in the wrong places, but a lot of people seem to not like TDKR. I don't know...

I'm with you. A good list but heavy on the hack and slash or shooting. I only played SNES at friends houses so I should be more excited by those games he showed cause I didn't even play the games they are knocking off but only a couple gave me an itch. It is tough when he limited himself to America as a lot of puzzle genre games that stayed in Japan. Thinking games have slowly dried up over the years and even the handheld home they had is now iffy with graphic advances. Ka-Blooey is game he should of mentioned.

Saying "no homo" is a great way to broadcast to the entirety of GAF that you should be ignored.
But think of the consequences if he hadn't bothered to type this. The internet might have thought he was gay or something. Oh the horror.

Seriously. Why even bother saying that?
It just means you're not secure enough in your sexuality that you're afraid someone is going to take your "I love that guy" as "OMG, I am so gay and wish I could marry him!" so you post a disclaimer.
Anyway... Gimmie more Nerd! I am soooo ready! I'm running out of internet review videos to watch.

Yeah, Mike's videos are very entertaining to watch.
Finally!
His videos are awesome most of the times, so it's good to finally have a new one after almost a year.

Much better than James' most recent outtings. Those bullshit videos really weren't great. The Batman review wasn't very enlightening either. Keeping my hopes up for the next real nerd flick.

Pretty funny episode

I liked this! No overly ridiculous theatrics and while he skimmed the first few games, he went very in depth with the last. It was a funny episode because it wasn't forced like his newer videos have been. There was a lot of self satire in his language. Overall, I think this was about as good as a return as I could have hoped for.
He revisits a lot a themes and jokes he's done before, but I didn't mind.

and this just went up? damn.
I fully agree.
I think that was intentionally done, like "What were they thinking", "Did they test this shitty game before they released it?", and "Shit load of fuck".

You know, these games feels like it was made by Bethesada or something. The ugly art, the bad level design, poor controls, and just plain random shit.
Whew, finally finished watching. That ending was gold.

I liked this. It didn't have any of the cheesy effects and had what I like best out of AVGN: James and his thorough reviews.

NES and movie license was a recipe for disaster.
It's funny how Nintendo's policy on the amount of games a publisher could release hurt quality pubs like Konami that were churning out gold, but those who were only pumping out crap weren't effected.

This one has, and always will be my favorite. The exact whine he has for it always gets me going and is one of my favorite quotes. Probably because I find myself asking this very same thing in many cases of modern game design.
Anyways, there were also other revisits as well, such as his cinematography. He revisits many visual jokes, such as:
The shot of him playing, something unexpected happening, then the camera going to his face as it goes from contempt to absolutely enraged has been done before.
It was definitely intentionally done. I feel these little nods are to relate with his past prime and get back the feel of the old nerd. I had absolutely no problem with it, and appreciated them.
I feel bad because he wants to do all that flashy stuff since he is so into cinema. I just never felt it worked well with the nerd at all, and always found myself skipping these sections. This is all I feel he has to do to please his core fans. Review the game. Get informative with it. Get real mad. Do a little jig. Done.

No, companies like Konami worked with Nintendo to get around this limitation by opening a second brand name, thus Ultra games.
Licensed games on the NES are actually quite good. You got many amazing Disney games from Capcom.
Man, Capcom and Konami making great games. Saying that right now just blows my mind.
and therein lies the real problem with Channel Awesome

Most of Capcom's games are still great, they're just diluted with controversy and BS that makes us more angry.
Loved the episode, wasn't too funny but I just enjoy watching James play games
