This latest Metroid retrospective was the first AVGN shit I've watched in years.
It was....okay? The writing/jokes were better than I expected, almost vaguely mid tier classic era stuff.
The delivery? Fell flat. That shirt is no good (where my shirtfags at), that hair lol, his actual delivery just kind of marred the whole thing from front to back.
The part the got my piss boiling was him showing footage like he played it all, hasn't it been confirmed ages ago he outsources that shit? Also some of the frustration moments where he'd be faux sperging about something that was lame, seemed really contrived.
Like yeah... going through a door to get immediately hit IS bullshit, but there were a fair number of OH NO I FELL THIS IS ASS shots that were just him clearly jumping into lava. (which I guess kills my theory he doesn't play stuff for footage?).
It was better than I expected, by far even, but it was still kind of lame.
In regards to gamer dads? I got lucky, my dad was like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite levels of nerdy back in the day, so we always had cutting edge shit before I could fathom how much that cost.
I have no idea how either, that nigga worked in a sheet rock factory.
