Yeah, I love his video game segments but the skits are usually gawd awful.

I liked the Bugs Bunny one, it was funny. This Joker one was just bad, because it was sticking too close to the actual character. If he mixed it up a bit, it might have been funny. But it just came off as an annoying and cheap imitation.

I take that back, that was not awesome. Not awesome at all.

So he reviewed 3 decent, but hard batman games & bitches about it, the end.

I wonder how much he would whine & bitch if he played Adventures of Batman & Robin on Genesis.

Seems like he just picked 3 random 16-bit era Batman games to do his 2nd part.

All 3 games had the Joker in the title and it was the Joker making him play them. So they were far from being random.

This whole "Happy Video Game Nerd" thing isn't funny to me at all. I mean, the angry one was, because he was over the top, but the happy one is just like watching any normal nerd talk about their favorite title...why would I waste my time with that?

Now, back to watching Project Runway. :lol

Because he actually talks about good games, and good games that many people have never heard of at that.

That automatically makes him better than every AVGN rip-off out there.

I like the HVGN. It started off as a parody then it just became a place for him to talk about good SNES games that aren't called Zelda or Mario. At the very least it reminded me of games that I liked but completely forgot about.

Meh. Never really liked his new vids. While he isn't really a good basis for reviews, his newer vids aren't really a good source of "entertainment". Most of them are just skits that are over-the-top and annoying.

Compare Batman part 2 two Double Vision, where he actually rants while playing the game and has little skit - now THAT is what a good AVGN vid is.

Some of the stuff felt forced, but since he wasn't the one writing it then that's to be expected. It did have a few funny lines and I, too, hate Deadly Towers.

So I just watched Part 2 of the Batman AVGN special. Am I the only one who HATED the Joker and his laugh? I mean usually things like that don't annoy me but I wanted to step into the video and strangle the guy! :lol

Edit: Watched the newest video too. Liked it a lot.

The "fan-written" video is pretty awesome. I loved the German part.

I feel the exact opposite. To make the AVGN pass on other's thoughts about a game doesn't sit right with me.

I agree, however I think it was the funniest review in a long time and was actually entertaining the whole way through since there was no shitty skit.

not too bad.

Some of the quotes were pretty hilarious.

I wonder if the passwords work like dead rising - you restart from the beginning, but you've got all the items and "cheap ass hoes" that you obtained previously?

Instead of - what? Getting angry, which is all the FUNNY there is to be had in his stuff? (Besides the stupid swearing or costumes, which are not funny if you're older than 12.) The games are the jokes, he's just there, fuming at the most revealing points, underlining the ridiculous design decisions/fuck-ups. Like "what were they thinking?!" offer's any insight, come on.

He usually says "what were they thinking?!" after already outlining some good points about why the design is bad.

I kind of expected it to be a single fan writing the entire review, it didn't occur to me that it could be a mishmash of different peoples' lines. Pleasant surprise for me, I found it amusing! I'm fighting BALLS!

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Battletoads? One of the top games of the 8-bit era?

Hey, he says it's good. Watch the video...

But come on, the game is incredibly hard. And above that, he plays it in TWO PLAYER MODE here. Limited continues plus having to start the level over if EITHER player gets game over is just incredibly, incredibly cruel... it's an amazing game, and the AGVN admits it, but it's pretty hard to get more than just a few levels in. Particularly in two player mode.
