Plumbers Don't Wear Ties

That one was alright, but it only really amounted to him reacting to wacky shit.
Personally, I prefer the hardware episodes and the Castlevania retrospective (aside from the 64 games bit).

Lester the Unlikely

Nintendo Power

Ljn episodes.

Friday the 13th is pretty classic
Really all of his horror/Halloween themed episodes are pretty great

Board James Season 2

Sega CD and 32X

All the informative ones where he isn't breaking and fighting shit for no reason

Are oldschool AVGN episodes timeless classics?

It's incredibly watchable to this day because it's from the time before memes substituted jokes.

Ikari Warriors

I think so

I went back recently and rewatched everything from the start till about mid 2010

Its all still fucking hilarious

every episode after he got the HD camera should be disqualified because they're all shit

Dicky Tracy. One of the few episodes were it felt like actual anger and pent up frustration.

Toxic Crusaders

fuck off with this e-celeb bullshit

>but user, they were doing it before everyone else! they're legends! It's ok when AVGN does it!!

no, fuck off

There's something about his tone that makes me laugh at almost everything he says in the Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout episode.

Other top episodes are Dick Tracey, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, Nintendo Power, NES Accessories, and Silver Surfer.

>put on AVGN episode
>irresistible urge to get a bag of chips and comfy under a blanket

NO

I DON'T GET IT

Super Pitfall was always my favorite.

Why is it fine to talk about shitty professional game reviewers, but it's not okay to talk about alright non-professional game reviewers?

HES GONNA TAKE YOU BACK TO THE PAST

>Dark Castle
>Tiger Games
>shit

it's not ok to talk about either

action 52

AAAAAAAAASSSS

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

I love going back and rewatching 06-09

AVGNs golden era was pretty amazing, its like 65-70 amazing episodes in a row

Was GamePro a good magazine? EGM is alright.

64 bit

32 bits

>Tiger Games
That episode was kind of weird. I mean, how could they have been any worse than Game and Watches, which were decent?

Ninja Gaiden

I think AVGN's brand of toilet humor is awful, but I love learning about all those old games.

This and Schwarzenegger games

That humor is literally Mike. James is kinda embarrassed to say those things but Mike genuinely finds it funny.

The one where he makes poop jokes and pretends to fight bugs bunny

Oh wait that shit is actually cringeworthy

MINEYCRAFTA?

The best one in my opinion is Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.

The game is just frustration incarnate.

ghosts n goblins

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I know right? Such cringe. Just say you only like it ironically, then you're aafe from criticism!

I don't like it ironically. I like AVGN because I like to hear about old games and watch them with some commentary, but filming himself taking a supposed actual shit on a game by pouring chunky chocolate on it is not funny unless you are 12

He was on fire for the Silver Surfer episode. I know it's all scripted and rehearsed to shit, but that episode has this really off-the-cuff feel.

The Batman games.

Yeah a lot of those earlier episodes felt that way. Just way more genuine and less forced. Probably has to do with the fact that he wasn't burnt out to hell and back.

WOW, HOW AWESOME CAN THIS BE? "BUGS BUNNY'S BIRTHDAY BLOWOUT."

WELL, IT WAS A *BLOWOUT*, ALL RIGHT! BLOW OUT YOUR ASS!

Seamen game. No doubt.

my rug's double parked outside

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

I've watched all the AVGN episodes so many times, I've been following James Rolfe for amost a decade now, and I think the best AVGN episode is probably the Die Hard one, it just has so many excellent jokes, the game just has so much to make fun of and feels like it's something he was genuinely frustrated with that just make it a top tier episode.

While I think the AVGN has continued to make good (or at least decent) stuff, I think there was a noticable decline in quality around 2008 (to be specific the Batman episodes) where it stopped feeling like the episodes were about the AVGNs personal experiences with games but more about broader subjects in general or things fans really wanted him to review, which I don't think felt as organic as the previous episodes and made the jokes mostly feel forced where he's having to give a performance of what he thinks the AVGN should do rather than voicing his frustrations, but again, I still enjoy his work and it's definitely still good, but I think the "original period" of AVGN is internet gold and hasn't really been matched by any other online reviewers, except maybe Spoony before he dieded.

IT'S NOT NIGHT
IT'S NOT FUCKING N I G H T

A million times this. His reaction to upside down chicken mask destroyed me.

Dear NintendoPower Editor,

NINTENDO POWER

WELL TOUGH SHIT IF YOU GOTTA TAKE A SHIT

YOU GOTTA TAKE A QUICK SHIT

YOU GOTTA HAVE TURBO TURDS

GUYS

I think I've discovered why Mike made the Minecraft with Gadget video.....

youtube.com/watch?v=RZPOHxG5Vuk

F

I will never forgive Mike.

what happened?

what did he mean by this?

>he never played a Tiger game
They're fun for a few minutes, while you can pretend that you are playing the game in question. After that, you quickly realize the "timing" on such games is awful and it's just boredom which keeps you playing.

Why haven't we seen another Boosty Beats, anyways? His Battletoads one was really good.

Mike's beating the games now.

Is he any good at pointing out tips on how to complete the game, like Bootsy, or is it just a Let's Play video?

...

He points out a few things here and there but it's mostly a let's play.

Somebody made a GOOD Back to the Future game? And it was only in Japan!?

This.

Hey, if anybody sees that plane, can you let me know?
