I mean’t like adult men blaming “kiddie shows” for society's downfall, or sending death threats to teenager for no reason. It just got old fast. This was during the 2000’s remind you, before the Schneider incident.
You know, Dan Schneider does kinda look like a blobfish, which probably explains why he is so creepy.
It was fun for a while too, but after a while I just played nothing but deathmatch mode, until finally quitting and going back to tf2.
Doesn’t make it any less obnoxious.
Yeah, they do, and it's still Sturgeons' Law out there, but when you get a good AMV, you get an amazing AMV.
Gee, it's totally not like I am this
I'm sure Chad Kroeger doesn't care. For all the hate they get, Nickelback still tours and sells albums, which is pretty damned good for a rock band anymore.
That may have been true in the first few years of AVGN but as early as 2011 (when many of the copycats were still fairly strong) it was clear he was playing games not from his childhood (likely bought second hand) without even a rudimentary read on Wikipedia about it, if that. I know I've ragged on James about that before. And you can tell that by 2011 the reviews were increasingly manufactured (but not nearly to the point today).
P.O.D. had the same kind of thing happen with them. Nu-metal, openly Christian, irrational fedora-tipping hate.
He's definitely not very in-depth, but I don't think he's ever particularly inaccurate, which I think signals that he does play them a decent amount and puts in the effort to fact check. As for his reviews feeling manufactured I disagree, they don't feel like they're products made by committee, if they were I'd argue they'd be more like the old reviews then Doug's skit reviews. The increase in skits over the years is a move of passion, James clearly loves film production and want to do that more, so he wants to bring that to AVGN. I really dislike the increasing amount of skits, but I wouldn't say that they feel manufactured, even if there's more manufacturing that goes into them ironically.
