"angry" gamers/critics

[Picklepower]

You know, the wannabe AVGNs and Nostalgia Critics on Youtube. Sure we know the Irate Gamer, but what about Game Dude ?

Or Nc17? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wShyxg5smw

Or Theamericananimeotaku? this guy apparently shows up to the live Anime News Network, Anncast panels, and begs them to make him a reviewer on their site. http://www.americananimeotaku.com/episodes.html Even though their site doesn't feature video reviews like say, That Guy With the Glasses.

Do you guys know anymore sites, or Youtube channels that are, as Bores would say, Dierhea Dick Waffles?

Also, what makes a good reviewer versus a lousy one?

AVGN is best when he's just being critical and genuinely frustrated rather than "angry". All of the juvenile shit-humor really sails past me and honestly drags down what is otherwise some pretty funny stuff.

"What were they thinking?!" is a whole lot funnier to me than when he goes off about how he'd rather be eating skunk assholes than playing a certain game.


(but i have to admit i did laugh pretty hard when he was playing "Batman". The anger level regarding the ridiculous, nonsensical controls in that one was off the charts, but felt genuine. also the part when he forcibly shoved almost every Batman game ever made up the Jokers ass.)

I honestly never really seen any "angry" gamer or critics aside from a couple back when I think it was kinda new. The guys I've seen were Armake21 and Silent Rob. As for Game Dude, I honestly don't know what say about him other than that he just spams himself just to get more views. I'd link a rant video that called him out on this but I think it's gone.

Pissed Off Video Gamer is best.

Indeed that overweight Eastern European angry gamer is the best. I mean seriously, he uses a BROOM! Seriously though, looking at that guy honestly makes me wonder as I saw that vid: Will he ever suffer a heart attack? He is very overweight that it really made me wonder if how long he will last before getting something like a heart attack or a stroke.

At the very least the AVGN actually produces some history for the games he's reviewing. He also does some really good videos like that Genesis vs Snes one where he compared their specs and stuff.

Most others don't really do much of that. They just sheepishly copy them.

Then again it's become less and less prevalent. More Pewdie Pie lets player clones on youtube than Angry reviewers.

Yeah, they pretty much copied what the AVGN does, excluding any history of a games. As for people copying Pewdiepie, I can only imagine a small box showing their face so viewers can see their reaction when they play scary games.

Amnesia and Slender practically exploded in popularity due to vast amounts of shitty LPs of those games.

It's the same reason why Minecraft got so popular was due to lets plays of it. To the point where the Yogscast asked Notch for more credit for Minecraft's popularity.

They really do pick some trivial shit to complain about. "The game was great but the title screen didn't match the box art, 2/10"

That's a classic Chris Bores complaint

Game Grumps (well, really just Arin) do an entire episode as an "angry reviewer":

That's all I think of now when I see people talking about angry reviewers. It makes the topic a lot more enjoyable.

This video is funnier than all the "angry" gamer videos combined.

He's like a drunk Marlon Brando.

Can anyone think of any Nostalgia critic knock offs? I know they exist, years ago some kid caused drama on the That Guy With the Glasses comment section, because he kept trying to promote his videos, and he was like 12 years old.

Was that the guy who called the Nostalgia Critic a Nazi?

I don't like the current trend of being angry in your reviews/gameplay videos. It's now to the point of annoying the audience instead of entertaining them now.

I think he was called the Angry Movie Dork. Here is his Blip account with all his terrible videos

Yeah. Doesn't help the fact that while there are some good ones out there, there are many terrible rip-offs that group around them.

Probably not the right place for this but I still have no idea how the fuck pewdiepie got so popular.
