Some turbo controllers are actually slower then just mashing the a button yourself

New video up: 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe (Atari 2600) video game review by Mike Matei
Did Mike have a quota to fill this month or something?

That's fair, but his objection was that it was cheating, not that it wasn't good enough.
Videogames and college are not mutually exclusive (just the opposite, perhaps).
And you're right, it's just my speculative opinion, but It isn't a leap to imagine that there is a correlation between Nintendo's weakest generation and a serious Nintendo fan fading out of fervor.
I think he'll keep making them but maybe not in a seasonal format. We might just get a new video whenever he happens to make one. 12 Days of Shitmas was hardly an "ending," type saga.
Well, he just released 12 AVGN episodes two months ago.

Nice Cameo by Jon Tron.
The hat.... and their ages would probably match up....
This is the only real explanation. Bootsie is the Wizard.

So great to see JonTron hanging out with Mike and James. :*^)

That was a little awkward. I hope they get a chance to try again sometime in the future, after they've warmed up to each other. There's potential.
When people meet each other there is an unspoken period where personalities will slightly alter themselves to meet another personality. In that video you can see that in the first 2-3 minutes JonTron adjusts to James & Mike's sense of humor and vice versa, by the end of the video they were all on the same page.
I doubt they just played Bomberman for 15 minutes. Probably will be a few more videos at least.

Part 6 is probably my favourite of the series. That was the first entry I saw. And I also remember looking everywhere for part 7 (remember, this was before the internet), found it after a few years in a shitty video store in a remote town, which surprisingly had a ton of those great 80's horror movies. No surprise part 7 was the last one I saw before Jason X released. God damn, feeling quite old right now.
This reminds me I can buy every entry in the series here in the Netherlands, except for Jason Goes to Hell. Granted, that's probably one of the shittiest (quite an accomplishment), but I want a complete collection!
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (has an interesting story of seeing it as a kid in the description)

I just realised that I've never seen Jason Goes to Hell.

Yeah that's actually the only good one after part 6.

I like the flow. I like how they played through Shadows of the Empire, but then play something like 3-D World Runner. They are really playing homage to the vast huge library of video games. I like seeing the stuff that fell at the waste side that we would never have had about unless they covered it.
We have all seen Zelda, Contra, Mario, etc being played, so it's neat seeing the unknowns make appearances every now and then
I like more obscure game choices, prefer them over the common stuff, but I'd like the videos with Jon to be longer considering Mike and James videos are sometimes 20-30 minutes.I like seeing the stuff that fell at the waste side that we would never have had about unless they covered it.

It would be nice if they actually knew how to play the game... you run into the green pillars for powerups. You get a weapon that way. There are also Space Harrier-style bossfights where you fly. This was one of the earlier NES games I got after getting the console back in '07; at first I thought there wasn't much to the game (simple but decent gameplay), but there is a bit more to it than you see in that video.
Watching this video was frustrating, I kept thinking 'argh, stop avoiding the green pillars!'...

Sometimes I think they deliberately do not play the game correctly for the video itself. Sonic '06 was also hard to watch because they kept skipping past the tutorial scenes, and then acted confuse that they didn't know what to do.

James' younger self trying to pronounce 'resolution' got me laughing good.

Oh cool. I thought I first it was another Q&A, which I have seen enough to satisfy for awhile lol
I await their review on it as I have mixed feelings about it.

....what...you are SUPPOSED to run into the pillers? LOL I never knew that back when the game first came out. Being the Space Harrier fan I just played the like that and avoided the pillers! oops

They play it the way most of us played games back then -- by throwing out the manual. Half the time it was full of incomprehensible gibberish anyways. Some games just did a better job of teaching you in game than others.

New Episode: Hong Kong 97
But... it's him not playing it, but watching a video online and just talking over it? I'm confused.

Thanks for posting, but what are you talking about? He's playing on an emulator, he even says it.
There really wasn't much to say about the game and the monologue at the end was pretty funny. Decent episode, definitely not the worst.
Emulator.
