This guy is awesome! Great review on a shitty game.

That you think this is awesome explains a lot.

Fine. Whatever. It's childish, but it's funny, anyway. I mean, I'm surprised just how shitty Batman Forever was.

I thought his older stuff was funny (and very spot on), but the newer ones are too produced and just.... eh. It happened right around the time screwattack bought him out.

Attack of the Show did a segment on this guy... used to be called Angry Nintendo Nerd but Nintendo got all lawyer-y so he had to change his name, heh.

I dunno, I didn't own an SNES but I think I would have hated the shit out of that Batman Forever game too. This is why games give you on-screen tips in the beginning now :P Although some of his bitching is just for the sake of being annoying. What's the use of complaining about the Commodore's control scheme?

There was a few comical things that he's done, but most of the time he's a little dull. I did like his reaction to landing the plane in Top Gun with the Power Glove though :-)

Wow, I had no idea just how bad Superman 64 was. I knew it was an example of a really bad game, but you just don't know how bad until you see AVGN try to play it.

I've watched some of his stuff. I find that he's funnier when he's reviewing a game you've played. Like his TMNT review was dead on and hilarious because I remember being angry at the exact same stuff in that game.

The bugs bunny one is funny, got to admit.
It's simple math: Angry Video Game Nerd + Top Gun NES + Power Glove = hilarity.

Has no one else seen this one?

OMF!

Ok, I though this guy was a little childish at the beginning because all he did was swear, "the fucking fuck commadore fucking sixty fucking four only fucking works when it gawddamn wants it too!"

BUT

OMF, I lost it at about the 7 minute mark. I was literally crying at work.

I remember renting Batman & Robin on the SNES, I NEVER learned how to use the grapple properly, and I returned it that same day.

When I was 13 (fuck me, that was almost 20 years ago now....) we rented Blaster Master. Of course, no instructions. Played it all night but couldn't figure out how to get through the fucking doors. The next day I was pissed off and was about to return the game and write it off as a piece of shit when my bud just randomly pushed down and he went in. I mean, who the fuck pushes down to go into a door? It just didn't dawn on us.

So we went back and re-rented it and played it ALL night again. It turned out to be one of our favourite NES games.
