    I've been enjoying the content on this channel, especially your Tomb Raider video! Question, how do you get video game footage without getting a strike or copyright claim? I'm hoping to do some videos about games in the future.

    • @TWVGH

      Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying some of the videos! As for your question, it probably depends on the game and company but I think the biggest problem you would have is showing leaked content, beta, non-disclosure type stuff.

    I think part of it is just because we have so much more today. More games, more soundtracks, better quality overall. It is really hard for something to stick out that way, even though there are so many great soundtracks coming out all the time.

    bioshock will always hold a very special place in my heart, even though the first game came out the year i was born. even before bioshock, i listened to jazz/big band from the 1920s-1940s, and i had a huge art-deco phase. when i played bioshock for the first time around four years ago, i was surprised i hadnt heard about the game earlier because of how it practically pandered to all of my interests. since then, bioshock had fueled the fire for those interests, and now i plan on going into architecture (because of my admiration and obsession with art deco architecture) in the fall of 2025 when i begin my freshman year of college. crazy how something as simple as a video game could potentially change the course of your life

    James is probably the only channel/creator I have never stopped watching or gotten tired of. Still to this day I watch every video (at least the AVGN’s) Every other channel has fizzled out for me, no matter how much I loved them one point, I either matured or just got tired of them.

    I've been on binge watch of AVGN and i think the issue is that, James simply grew up, it's hard to stay original forever as your age catches up to you and you keep fooling yourself thinking you can continue to do the same stuff over and over again without reinventing yourself or completely losing what made you great in the first place. I don't think he gotten worse over the years i think time is a b**ch

    Interestingly enough, I discovered AVGN sometime in late 2010, by way of The Spoony Experiment. I was a fan of Spoony's content first, and discovered Channel Awesome through that, where I saw some mentions and advertisements someone called the "Angry Video Game Nerd". I decided to check it out on a whim and I'm glad I did. I believe the "Back to the Future: Revisited" was the most recent video at the time and I found it funny and wacky enough to make me watch more. While many of the videos in recent years have lost some of that original spark, I still enjoy and appreciate the full catalog of James' work and constantly revisit much of it, especially the earlier seasons. The fact that James has been doing this for 18+ years says a lot.

    I'm from a country that never got the privilege of going through the eras of Atari, until the PS1. I got a GBA when I was 10 in 2003 and the cart was one of those hundred games in one pirate carts. Back then, I never knew those games were NES games. When I was introduced to him in 2008, my thought was "Hey, I remembered this game on the GBA! It was from an old console?" To this day, I still watch him. All seasons of AVGN would always play in the background as I sleep. That's my comfort.

    The Nerd is a huge inspiration for me. Making a whole Review Series of my own in the Nerds style is a fun project. James defiantly deserves his flowers for longevity. I know many criticize him for the change in direction or "lack of quality". I think James' AVGN Series is still very entertaining and makes me laugh. With out him we wouldn't had JonTron or even better... Scott The Woz. James has inspired many, and I hope he continues his Journey as The Nerd.

    Toriyama was the character designer, though I have no doubts his brain was picked when the story was being written since some of the time travel benefits to consequences mirror the DBZ Future Trunks, the Androids, and Cell arks. We see the same concepts revisited by Toriyama and Toyotaro in the DB Super Zamasu ark. For the unaware... The future has changed. Toriyama is gone, leaving us his legacy in the form of his Bird Studio and his apprentice, Toyotaro. Toyotaro, as of now, has stated he plans to continue working on Toriyama's currently ongoing manga properties. It is unknown as of yet what will become of the Square-Enix workload, whether he'll take that on or choose someone else at Bird Studio. Ultimately, though, Toriyama had planned to retire and let Toyotaro take over everything.
