It's one thing to have Jesus jokes. It's another thing altogether to get into a pitched laser battle alongside MechaJesus 2000 against possessed Turbografxs. That just doesn't happen every day.

That video was retarded.
if you have no proof... it never happened.Quote:

There needs to be some material, there, though. He doesn't write jokes he just makes incredibly inane observations while cursing.
That review was awful.
Joe Pesci's character was a mobster who's job was to intimidate and kill people. Cussing was a part of that.Quote:

Now that's "Angry Nintendo Nerd" done right.
Yahtzee knows the score.
Agreed. Zero Punctuation is very well done.
"ShittingAssesOutofMyDickonaMule" is not.
I'd rather poop on a pile of puke than play this.
That was good (towards the end) but to me it was the same shit, just with a fast talking Australian guy instead of a foul mouth angry nerd.Quote:

I had to actually search for those "gems" in the AVGN's video. I thought it would be easy enough to poke fun at McKids, but, hey, whatever. Yahtzee's were all in the first minute.
Zero Punctuation isn't funny because he's critical just to be critical, regardless of whether the game is actually bad or not. Angry Video Game Nerd is actually funny because the games he reviews are really that bad.
This is not true at all. In fact, a believe he even says on his site that he's intentionally playing up the faults of games that might not be that bad.Quote:

Okay, but I still find it funnier to see someone try to play through a game like Wizard of Oz than to listen to someone try to point out why BioShock isn't good.Quote:

lol.
Dane Cook sucks. This can not be stated enough.
HEY THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE I KNOWQuote:

Yeah, I was all, "HEY THAT'S A FUNNY COMPARISON LET ME TYPE IT IN ALL CAPS." That's really it.
why the intense hatred for Dane?
He is the face of shitty modern frat comedy?
I can see that... one of the newer comedians I dig is Pablo Francisco, any fans here? or we hate him to?
Pablo Francisco is like Frank Caliendo. He's funny the first time you see him, and then progressively less funny the more milage he tried to get out of those one or two good impressions.
good point.. I love when he does the movie guy though. "Little Tortilla Boy" is a classic.
Yeah, that's the one impression I'm referring to. That's like all he does. It's his closing bit for the last like 8 years.Quote:

Genius. Sounds like somebody read a few too many Seanbaby columns and somehow still missed the point.
Those are fightin' words where I'm from. The gauntlet has been thrown down. Any form of retaliation is fair game at this point.Quote:

This thread is doing doughnuts in the parking lot.
"He lightly fingers the nostolgia button, and gamers enjoy it."
so do a lot of guys on the internet... it's gotta go deeper then that.Quote:

I was with Zero Punctuation until he said that Killer 7 was a good game, you don't even joke about shit like that.
That is true. Killer 7 was pretty terrible. (I think I would have liked it as a lightgun game, though)
The drakes fortune racism bit was pretty insane as well, never in a million years would that have occurred to me.
He's funny.Quote:

Hard to imagine worse production values than shit pickle, hard to imagine less wit too.Quote:

true, the production sometimes impresses me over the other ones out there (which would make me wanna watch it because he gave enough shit about making it look decent). I wouldn't say people who like him are stupid (because that would be me), maybe it's the people that aren't die hard gamers now but were back in the day that just appreciate the nostalgia factor and give the cursing a pass just because.Quote:

It IS the same guy. Why else would I have put it in this thread?

I've never heard anything about the game before, haven't even seen it for sale. It's not like were talking castlevania 3 here.Quote:

Oh word?
I love AVGN, I spent the last two days watching all his videos. Could do without Shit Pickle though.
Yeah, Shit Pickle was like something from the first season of South Park.
When I turn in my two weeks notice to work I think I'll work in that I'd rather have a buffalo take a diarhea dump in my ear some where.
This guy is just Andy Rooney now.Quote:

I usually don't care for AGVN. But his review of Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is quite funny. He eases up on the "random animal + excrement + unfunny hyperbole" formula, and the result is surprisingly good.
Man, that game was hard to watch. It's amazing that it probably retailed between $30 to $50 at some point and there were probably people that thought it was the bee's knees. AVGN nailed everything, though.Quote:

PDWT is a pretty easy game to goof on, but I have to wonder if it was necessary to go through the entire game in the review.Quote:
