Anyone here a fan of the Angry Video Game Nerd. I think he is hilarious. I like his language but some may find if annoying.

Been a huge fan for close to 2 years with the Ghostbusters reviews being the first ones I saw.
My favorite episodes was the Power Glove, Silver Surfer(loved seeing him get pissed off in this one), the SegaCD, and 32X ones.
Only saw one of his episodes. It involved him mimicking the AVGN's Ninja Turtle review word for word. Does he normally do this or does he actually come up with original material?

This is not a Forum for Fanboy bullcrap...unless its about SMA obviously. I like the AVGN, but i also like Stanburdman, TheSpoonyExperiment, ProtosJon, AzureBlade95, GameNexus, ChefProtoss, Pabyrtrky, NicotineAlien, IrateGamer, and of Course my personal Favorite: [Mostly cause he releases a new Game Critique/Web Comic every week at 9am] Yahtzee of ZeroPunctuation! [Which i just realized means "Never Early" Hmm] .
Maybe Im just greedy, or inept when it comes to choosing my Games, but the Nerd is cool, the Irate is cool, and all the less mainstream guys are cool. There all grown men and if they all have beef over who rips off who, then its up to them to deal with it and not for their fans to have some flame fight over it. Its just BullShit Drama, Didnt Megami do a Rant about this?[SMA VS SM Redub] Seriously, arguing over whose better is like arguing who has the funnier imaginary friend. Its just like those Bullshit arguments that 360 and PS3 owners always have over which one is better. [The answer is PS2, Suckas! ;P F*ck yall and your wasted money and dissapointing games. "OOH the graphics- its so brown and gray and all FPS are about alien invasions cause the goverment wants to brainwash the next generation for the military.Thats why they call it:'NextGen' (Srry for the Rant)]

Generally no, if he does it's usually stuff that can easily be debunked or proved wrong, as per case he insulted "Zombies Ate My Neighbor" Now I never played it, but people actually say it's a good game and his rants were dumb. I'm not gonna go "Oh Irate Gamer suxs he's a nub haxxor wannabe" I just don't really like him, simply cause i don't think he's funny. I do like Nictotienaline/Armake21, he was good, little arrogant at times, and i may not share his tastes, but to each his own, I've seen a few of Spoony's but I'm kinda borderline on should I like him or not. But to be to the point, Yes, I love the Nerd, he's so awesome

I do like Yahtzee and Spoony a lot. Spoony's Phantasmagoria let's play was great. I'm hoping he decides to finish his FF8 review.
If he has his own material I'll definitely give him another shot then.

I for one don't like Yahtzee, but that's probably my fanboy-ism shouting out in rage at him for insulting games I generally like...that and he comes off a bit of a know it all

For the most part I never have problems with reviewers making fun of games I enjoy. Although I admit when they get an obvious fact about the game wrong I sometimes find myself shouting in my head "It doesn't work like that!" or "Have you even played the frickin game?!"
I know there was a guy on youtube who was doing a FF:Mystic Quest review that was pretty good. He ended up stopping partway through unfortunately.

I dont really agree with some of the reviewers sometimes:
AVGNs inability to play DR. Franken, which was a pretty good game when i was a kid
Irate and Pbrtry bashed the hell out of TOAD from SMB2, and I got the fastest Digging and serious amount of coins for the extralive minigame at the end of the stage, so what if he cant jump high. Characters cant be different in videogames-he was faster at taking out all the bosses.
Yahtzee bashed DMC4/MGS4, but i still bought it cause the series is always been fun to play regardless of the "Nero is a P*SSY" and "Dante is C*NT" and "Snake and Otacon are 'BEST FRIENDS who adopted a little girl".
I just need a good laugh, and if its about gaming I'll watch it.

Last night I ended up watching most of the Irate Gamer videos. I have to say they were alright. He did take some material from the AVGN, but for the most part he seemed to come up with his own material. Besides that quite a few of his jokes fell flat to me, but some parts were amusing and his reviews were fairly informative. Overall, he's not bad.

I don't like the Irate gamer, not because of the "AVGN Ripoff" thing, but at times, he just tries too hard to be funny. That, and at times, he's completely wrong about some of the games he's talked about (Zombies ate my Neighbors sucks? Super Ghouls and Ghosts is awful? "The TMNT Sequels are bad because they aren't as good as the Arcade?) and his monotone voice doesn't help either, I don't know whether he's supposed to be "Dry" or if that's his real voice
I like the nerd more, recently his reviews have been of high quality, His system reviews are good too, they may seem rushed, but they offer a lot of insight into what was wrong with the system.
I've quickly become a fan of the Happy Video Game Nerd AKA Derek Alexander, he's not supposed to be funny, but he's still a great reviewer, reviewing great overlooked games

anyone here heard of "Still Gaming"? It's done by SashaNein, I like it, because it's both funny and serious at the same time...I don't know how he does it. Well, now that I've seen the AVGN, I think he's hilarious. As for the Irate Gamer, I think that although he has his good and bad, and he rips off the AVGN at some parts, I just think...meh.
