How do you say it? Suh-tan, like sedan?

He said it like Sayden instead of Say-ten

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I didn't even notice.

 

[morningbus]

He only said it oddly twice, by my count. He said it normally, too.

I'd say it was just an error in performance, not a quirk of dialect or anything.

6 years and only 6100+ posts... AVGN sure isn't that popular over here.

And still using his very, very old name on Angry Nintendo Nerd.

Nah Maharg just refuses to change it for no reason.

Nice review, and good timing since G&G NES comes out tomorrow on 3DS eShop.

Oh it does?

 

[TheChits]

I'll never forget the first time I "beat" G&G only to have to beat it again. Man, I was so damn pissed as a kid haha

 

[Sophia]

His expression when he beats the game

Spoiler

the first time

is so priceless....

 

[alr1ght]

Good quality episode. Is this the one from that NES marathon stream from a few days ago?

Well, at this this thread is active, and when a new episode come out, people talk about the episode for a few pages at least.

Can't say the same for the zero punctuation thread.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

So did he split from Gametrailers and screwattack?

 

[one_kill]

So did he split from Gametrailers and screwattack?

Maybe not exclusively as Andrex suggested. Still, it's weird how he omitted the GT and ScrewAttack text at the start of the episode.

The AVGN film trailer is being shown for the first time during the GT film festival which suggests their partnership isn't over.

 

[AcridMeat]

Rewatching the Friday 13th review and oh man, this may be the funniest review of his. What really makes it is James' obvious sarcasm and disdain.

Even watching it years later I'm cracking up.

Plus the whole "Don't kill me!" *shows game* "...kill me." is a classic. Not even to mention the "You and your friends are dead" rant.

Yep, loved that review. It's crazy this stuff is so old now.

Enjoyed the Ghost N Goblins review as well. Very well done episode. He's been on fire recently with the Cinemassacre 80's-a-thon reviews too.

 

[alr1ght]

Not an official review I guess, but AVGN just reviewed Bubble Bobble on Pat the NES Punk's NES Marathon, like he did River City Ransom last year. Don't think it's up anywhere yet.

No one captured this???

 

[Mr. Enigma]

No one captured this???

The stream was incredibly laggy when it started because of the crush of people who came in. It wasn't worth capturing.

 

[Bisnic]

I dunno if this was intended or not, but the shadow of his glasses makes him looks like he got huge angry eyebrows. Which kinda fit his character.

 

[Medalion]

A nice return to form for this ep

I didn't really enjoy the ending skit... he sounded tired and not as into it... he's lost his anger edge

 

[Amagon]

Review was ok. Love the special effects in the video though.

 

[Macho Madness]

About time the thread title changed.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I didn't really enjoy the ending skit... he sounded tired and not as into it... he's lost his anger edge

Think of it as him being worn out after playing through Ghosts 'N' Goblins twice. He's not battling at 100%!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

About time the thread title changed.

Fiiinaaally. Though it could use the game name.

 

[jett]

Just noticed the thread title was finally changed to AVGN, although strange that it doesn't mention GnG.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Well, now it works as a "general" thread title. Having the game in the title isn't necessary, but that would make things easier for readers. Obviously, some people won't really care if it's a new Mike review so they won't want to have to check the thread for that, but if they know that the update is, for example, the AVGN movie trailer, then they'll definitely enter the thread.

So, I can see arguments for keeping the title as general or as new video-specific.

 

[BassForever]

Great episode, loved the ending RPG style battle

 

[firehawk12]

Having the episode title there lets me know that a new episode is out anyway, for what that's worth.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Thank god the thread title FINALLY got changed.

 

[Seik]

I feel nostalgic every time I watch the nerd now. This one was good.

Its been so many years already since he began.

EDIT: Get the knife guys.

 

[Teknoman]

I'll never forget the first time I "beat" G&G only to have to beat it again. Man, I was so damn pissed as a kid haha

lol that actually happened to me a few days ago. Beat Super G&G for the first time, then BAM "sorry, but you have to beat it a second time".



-_-



Are the Genesis and PSP games the same?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

What's the AVGN where he says "Why don't they just call it... nevermind." and it shows the "Boo! Haunted House" picture?

 

[revolverjgw]

Major props for beating a game like that legit. I don't think I'd have the patience even with save states.

The NES version is really terribly designed

 

[friskykillface]

never did play the original NES one but i remember me and my cousin spent all night many many many year ago playing the super nes one and when we beat it and it told us to play it again, we both raged so hard, hilarious



loved the review but that bit at the end was random but still good

 

[Macho Madness]

I want to say it was Super Pitfall. Could be wrong though.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Silver Surfer. One of my favourite episodes.

''It's like playing the game Operation... but with a bunch of shit flying around trying to kill you!''

 

[ThatObviousUser]

That was it! Thanks.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Boo! Haunted House was also referenced in another episode, Nightmare on Elm Street I think.

Yeah I though it was a pretty solid review other than the ending.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Yeah, that's where he came up with it, which is why the callback in Silver Surfer is so funny.

 

[Dereck]

That was actually very good.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Oh man I lost it at the Engrish "ending".

 

[HammerOfThor]

YAY new ep! Really enjoyed it!

That being said, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is my all time favorite.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

I've actually beaten it using the flame weapon. In some cases, it actually does make the game a bit easier, like against the red devils.

 

[FoxSpirit]

He himself jokes about how he lost his anger edge. Maybe next episode we will see a dramatic comeback

 

[Struct09]

Loved the episode, the ending was well done!

 

[KalBalboa]

His best videos are always semi "educational" when it comes to the late 80s/early 90s days of gaming.

 

[BY2K]

So should I get the knife?

 

[LevityNYC]

The best one he's done in years.

Looks like shooting the movie finally got his batteries recharged. For a while it seemed like he was just going through the motions and seemingly disinterested.
