I gotta admit, when I first saw his video of the Virtua Boy, I absolutely hated this guy. He just seemed to be awkwardly throwing in swears for the sake of doing so.

Lately, however, I gotta admit, he's grown on me, and his newer videos are especially good.

For sure. The AVGN character isn't for everyone.
I agree his new ones have been pretty good. He's toned it down and is more analytical now, less talk about diarrhea etc.

Does anybody remember the one where he actually took a dump on a game cartridge, and they showed it in close-up (with special FX)? Haha. That one was classic.

Pizza shit!

In all seriousness though, I remember very vividly playing the arcade game of TMNT that looked like this:


Then after getting this NES piece of shit for Christmas and ending up getting frustrated as hell trying to make it past that water level. Then finally getting past the water level with a sliver of hp only to find myself in some kind of sick maze of terribleness. THEN when I finally got "TMNT 2:The Arcade Game" I thought "FINALLY the game I'd wanted to play all along!!!" only to end up with this:


Granted that was much closer to the arcade than the first installment, but "The Arcade Game" tacked onto the title let my childhood imagination run wild with the thoughts of the potential for the NES. Perhaps it was true! The original game developers had just never heard of or seen the arcade game because they were Chinese sweat shop programmers, I reasoned. These new programmers surely would stay true to the original gameplay/graphics. Instead of a carbon copy of the game though, I ended up with something that by comparison looked like it should be played on a Gameboy. Alas, another let down.

Still though, the purchase of TMNT2 The Arcade Game was a letdown that would have been an easier blow to handle if it had not been for the piece of shit game that was the original.
