Totally agree with you 100% man, the VGX was incredibly bad, the host (Joel) was a sarcastic and stuck douchebag, i'm not from America so I don't use that name much but he a complete idiot. They really need to improve asap, we're watching it for games not to hear crappy jokes and awkwardness. Great vid man, keep doing what you do best :)
If you watch the Soup, then you see that is just the way he acts... but that's just the problem, he ACTED. The guy himself is fine, I'm a big fan of his, but they shouldn't have hired someone who know nothing about games at all. He had no idea what anyone was talking about and it made him come across very bad. I mean, look at Michael Kane (Actor of Alfred on Batman)... Wonderful actor BUT give him the role of Batman, and he is shit... same kinda thing here. My blame goes on Spike for hiring him, not the guy himself.
GamerHats Hey man, I don't wanna start a comment war here man, hope you understand, if they don't like my pic than that's their problem, appreciate you sticking for me anyway :)
and god ncis got screwd on emmys not 1 award fuckin was rigged for cable shows to win and not be about tv shows which is whut emmys ere about now cable shows are stealin emmys which is bullshit
I liked the video where the co-host called him out on his bullshit of liking every game. It was like he was surprised that the media industry for video games is that rigged.
We agree. You humans should all be embarrassed of your species for this award show. We robots could not believe the amount of the epic fail on the show. Our robot conclusion: Holocaust footage would have been more entertaining.
I'd love to say "lets give the voting to the fans," but you know what happens: we get Call of Duty Black Ops as the Guinness Best Video Game Ending of All Time.
Also, I was listening to A LOT of Acheron earlier, so it's kind of ironic that you're also wearing an Acheron shirt. But, you're brother was on Rites of the Black Mass, after all. Goddamn, that album is so fucking amazing! Most underrated album ever. Hell, it's even my profile picture. lol
whenever one of us are on youtube it's cuz of this guy. Alpha speaks the truth and is a respected youtuber. i'm glad he's become this big already...major props to him. plus you never get tired of his style.
I agree Alpha. The main reason I watched it was for the Nintendo announcement. *Reggie announces Cranky Kong as a playable character* *Titanfall, Thief and other announcements* Reggie: Maaaybeeeeee release dates and a new character wasn't enough...
I didn't watch the show live because I seriously didn't even know it was a thing but I was able to catch one of those cringe-worthy clip collections. It looked awful as hell. I don't know who the hell the host is but I hope he goes back to the obscurity from whence he came. Though I DID find it funny when he was moving around and said he would move around as much as the cameraman. Seriously I hate shows where the camera simply cannot stay still. And why do games need an award show? Who cares?
To be fair to Nintendo, they told everyone what the announcement was gonna be like in advanced and everyone just ignored it and hyped themselves up anyways.
I wouldnt mind seeing Geoff again next year as host he was pretty genuine and i could almost see the excitement in his eyes for all the content. That Joel though, yeah i agree get him the fuck outa here
Havent heard anyone else say Fuck Me Running besides myself in a while. Thx AOS for keepin it alive! Keep making the great videos brother and Ill keep watching
People like you ARE the industry... look at the wall behind Alpha! Thousands of dollars of game and systems. Gamers should vote and present the show. Great video bro!
When McHale made a joke about the VGX being a "nerd thing" I was pretty annoyed because I could tell me wasn't a gamer and it seemed like a real insult to everyone watching
the awards from spike is a joke from the beginning everytime it comes on I laugh. I mean when xplay was on g4 and did awards I watch that because they actually award the good games not some suckish games that I despise of I mean really..... RIP xplay
Thank you Alpha I been saying this all along when I saw the VGA's when it was called back then, and I knew that shit was a mess. Hell those people don't know anything about games and don't know how to award them where they shown evidence of that. I think Machinima award show last year was way better then this.
The video games industry just doesn't respect itself. The people running the industry are not gamers- people with a passion for gaming- they're just businessmen. Clearly $$$ is the top priority at this point and not the satisfaction of the consumer.
Joel McHale and Geoff Keighley. Sadly for gamers everywhere, they were awkward, embarrassing, and completely missed the mark. It made dedicated players feel ashamed for loving games. It made gamers wonder if anyone involved with the show had ever actually, you know ever played a video game.
Glad someone else shares my opinion on award shows :-) very well put as usual. I didn't even knew there was this award show, but I'm glad I didn't hehe.
I think Joel McHale was pissed off right away because it clearly wasn't planned at all. Pretty sure he is used to it being somewhat organized. Another part of this is that us gamers live in a bit of a vacuum, journalists included. Joel McHale asked normal questions like "when does this game come out". Us gamers know they announce games like 5 years before they come out. (which is ridiculous). Not to mention Geoff is just a total A** kisser, so the combo of mr.don'tcare and mr.gushallover aren't a good combo...
The problem is that that game journals have to be ass-kissers or they get ignored/fired. The game industry is just giant faceless companies' marketing departments lying and over hyping shit to trick people into buying mediocre games. This show is just another commercial for things we will forget in a year; the actual awards were only 20-30 minutes of the 3 hours this lasted. Any normal person would be disgusted with this self-important soulless corporate approved garbage (as Joel obviously was.)
Alpha, I suggest you watch farfromsubtle's Christmas Show and Trailer. They watch and converse about an shortened version of the VGX's. They share alot of the same concerns you have.
If I remember correctly, didn't Joel McHale do a press conference at E3 a few years ago for Ubisoft in regards to a laser tag style game that baffled everyone? No surprise he flopped again here.
When Cranky Kong was the ONLY announcement trending twitter, you know you did something wrong. I don't know why anyone would have expected something big from this show.
Don't get why people are angry at Joel, he was being the same way he is own his own show The Soup. He rips on just about everything. I don't think it helped things that the VGX writers had him read joke about adult diapers and such. I loved he refused to go with the corporate PR bull that Geoff was going with
No ones mad at him. They were just annoyed, and confused as to why he was there, and why no one tried stopping his neverending bordem and sarcasm. Sure it was funny when he fucked with that asshole geoff, but then it got old. I didn't watch it, god no, but that's just what i gathered from angry joe, and the clips he showed.
and then the video got taken down. No but in all seriousness, Alpha, I agree with you, the entire thing felt like we walked in on them fumbling about with lines of crack on their forearms and they just stare at us like "What... what else would you expect?"
I know this is late in regards to the VGX, but realtes to recent news. Nintendo announced they were going to have a big reveal, and Tecmo (in japan) was just letting slip the first TINY hint that Zero (or Fatal Frame) was in the works. I just KNEW that was going to be the announcement. I was freaking EXCITED! Fast forward about 6 months later, and still no announcement for FF, and the announcement turned out to be Cranky Kong?!?!?!?! I was disappointed to say the very least.
did you see the tweet making the rounds where geoff keighley was telling people to watch the replay and he said watch it for the inbetween because the awards dont matter. really shows how much they care about it.
To be fair, Nintendo just said they will show new information of a previously announced title. Was the internet who blow it out of proportion. They wouldn't annouce something important in such a shitty show like that, it has never been good.
Another gaming website should do an awards show like Screw Attack or Rooster Teeth. They would at least be a bit more professional but I don't know if they would be able to get interviews and new announcements.
ALPHA! Please tell me that you heard about this new Copyright bullshit that's going around and making a rant about it because this is not good news for game reviews or let's players.
Joel McHale single-handedly killed this program for me. I could handle- barely- the lackluster reveals and NO ONE CLAPPING WHEN AWARDS CAME OUT, but my god, Joel literally did nothing but insult the people he was supposed to be entertaining. It was like he was going to out of his way to say, 'I'm here because I'm being paid, fuck all of you'.
When gone home won 2 awards I took a look at the advisory panel and 4 people gave it 9/10+ and everyone else on the panel had not reviewed it, I just want this award show to never happen again.
The title of this made me start laughing and the rest had me in tears. Thank god there is someone as real and down to earth as AOS on UA-cam who isn't afraid.
I honestly don't get that savage hatred towards PewDiePie, yes, he's humor is juvinile and annoying to some people but it's not like he talks shit about anyone, blames everyone but himself or e-begs, he's a nice guy, cares about he's fans, friends and he's girlfriend.
Basicly like Zii Guy said, its cause 90% of his fans try to shove him down everyones throats whether you like him or not, so the hatred to most of the fanbase goes back to him. If you watch his videos and simple say, "I don't like them" his fans act like you just murdered there puppies. Personally I don't like his videos, and that's OK, I have a preference, and saying "Well stop being a Hater and just Don't watch it!!!" Doesn't really work when his fans shove him down peoples throats for playing the same game, or doing something similar in general.
Okay, Nintendo did NOT have a big announcement, they tweeted, and I paraphrase, that "the announcement will be about an earlier announced game". Doritos Pope however did CLAIM it was a big announcement. Do your fucking research.
Thank you Alpha Omega. I wonder if you can run your own VGAs. Just saying cuz even Angry Joe vid had comments on him being a host or running his own type of VGAs.
LOL I loved how Joel took Reggie to task for his crappy reveal. Considering what he had to work with, Joel wasn't really the problem as far as I could tell. Honestly I'd never heard of McHale until the VGX LOL so to me I thought the real problem was the other guy. XD
I didn't bother to watch VGX, so while I'm afraid to ask my curiosity is going to lead me into despair... What in the holy hell was PewDiePie of all people doing on that show?
i don't get it! why they don't invite youtubers like AngryJoe, TotalBiscuit, Boogie, Dodger, JeremyJahns, Yahtzee, Jim Sterling and others? seriously this show would be so much awesome to watch.
The attempt to pander to the Interwebs has resulted to the VGA/VGX to give an award for "most anticipated". Yes, the videogame industry gives an award for hype. And if the Oscars were like the VGX, half of the show would consist of movie trailers for upcoming movies.
Glad I missed it then. Sounds like it was almost like watching Microsft E3 when they were shoving kinect down everyone's throats. I forget what year. LIke 2010 or maybe 2009?
Alpha, what do you think of Award Shows like the Interactive Achievement Awards or the Developer's Choice Awards? The VGA's have always been a joke, I am honestly surprised you got as upset over this joke of a show to begin with (not to say that everything you said wasn't warranted, as it was).
Nintendo announced ahead of time that their VGX presentation would be for a game that had already been announced. Anyone who got their hopes up for a new IP or a past franchise revival was setting themselves up for disappointment.
Sheldon Blackwell Yep, that's why I'm subscribed to both. They both offer scathing reviews with their own style. AOS seems more like your buddy who rambles and has fun talking about games. AngryJoe is more of an entertainer with flair and silliness when he talks about games. Both seem to genuinely like games and are on the consumers' side.
Very simple: 1. He doesn't think he is the greatest shit to hit the Earth. He plays a role, just like the Nostalgia Critic and Angry Video Game Nerd do. 2. He is in fact a game critic. He's supposed to berate things that are bad. 3. He has a certain enthusiasm about what he does that is enjoyable to watch and listen to. It's the same exact reason I listen to Alpha Omega. Are you going to argue that he drives you up the wall because he says "Fuck" consistently? Fuck that. It's what makes him who he is and it's an intriguing personality trait to see for someone who looks over gaming as a culture. I can guarantee that this "I'm better than everything" vibe you're talking about exists in just about every game critic you can think of, just in different ways. Where as to Angry Joe is enthusiastically belligerent, others are snobbish, cynical, egotistical for the sake of being egotistical, and so on. The mandate of being a critic is being fully willing to be an ass in order to get your message across. It's what makes you entertaining.
Totally agree with you 100% man, the VGX was incredibly bad, the host (Joel) was a sarcastic and stuck douchebag, i'm not from America so I don't use that name much but he a complete idiot. They really need to improve asap, we're watching it for games not to hear crappy jokes and awkwardness. Great vid man, keep doing what you do best :)
***** I mean he only cares about himself :)
If you watch the Soup, then you see that is just the way he acts... but that's just the problem, he ACTED. The guy himself is fine, I'm a big fan of his, but they shouldn't have hired someone who know nothing about games at all. He had no idea what anyone was talking about and it made him come across very bad.
I mean, look at Michael Kane (Actor of Alfred on Batman)... Wonderful actor BUT give him the role of Batman, and he is shit... same kinda thing here.
My blame goes on Spike for hiring him, not the guy himself.
Makaroification Caine* ;)
***** That's your opinion dude, keep it to yourself & not the world.
GamerHats Hey man, I don't wanna start a comment war here man, hope you understand, if they don't like my pic than that's their problem, appreciate you sticking for me anyway :)
From 1:08 to 2:40 is the pure crystallized truth about award shows. No one should ever waste their time watching those. Especially the VGA/X.
thats why i just play videogames i can careless whut hollywood or popular ppl think of game i play iot cause i love it not cause they do lol
and god ncis got screwd on emmys not 1 award fuckin was rigged for cable shows to win and not be about tv shows which is whut emmys ere about now cable shows are stealin emmys which is bullshit
I feel that a lot of award shows are all just an excuse to make certain properties (movies/tv shows/video games) overrated and overly-commercialized.
the things I like the best never win awards shows, whether it's games, music, movies or anything else.
Favorite part of this episode 5:25 , "He's not going to be happy with this announcement". LOL
I liked the video where the co-host called him out on his bullshit of liking every game. It was like he was surprised that the media industry for video games is that rigged.
We agree. You humans should all be embarrassed of your species for this award show. We robots could not believe the amount of the epic fail on the show. Our robot conclusion: Holocaust footage would have been more entertaining.
I'd love to say "lets give the voting to the fans," but you know what happens: we get Call of Duty Black Ops as the Guinness Best Video Game Ending of All Time.
I think Nintendo announced Cranky Kong there because they knew it was gonna be utter shit.
I think you just hit the nail on the head.
AlphaOmegaSin you are Special, you are to be honest one of the best things on the internet right now.
he should start yelling IT'S CLOBBERING TIME when he starts his Videos
Also, I was listening to A LOT of Acheron earlier, so it's kind of ironic that you're also wearing an Acheron shirt. But, you're brother was on Rites of the Black Mass, after all. Goddamn, that album is so fucking amazing! Most underrated album ever. Hell, it's even my profile picture. lol
The last 2 seconds of this had me laughing my balls off. Damn skippy Metal is fucking awesome!
Someone uploaded the full 3 hour show to youtube, not in parts either. I missed it so it might be good for a laugh lol
whenever one of us are on youtube it's cuz of this guy.
Alpha speaks the truth and is a respected youtuber. i'm glad he's become this big already...major props to him. plus you never get tired of his style.
If you take 3 of AlphaOmegaSin's videos together and play them at the same time, you get some pretty hillarious moments.
It was worse than the live Xbox One announcement. Yeh, that bad.
I agree Alpha. The main reason I watched it was for the Nintendo announcement.
*Reggie announces Cranky Kong as a playable character*
*Titanfall, Thief and other announcements*
Reggie: Maaaybeeeeee release dates and a new character wasn't enough...
I didn't watch the show live because I seriously didn't even know it was a thing but I was able to catch one of those cringe-worthy clip collections. It looked awful as hell. I don't know who the hell the host is but I hope he goes back to the obscurity from whence he came. Though I DID find it funny when he was moving around and said he would move around as much as the cameraman. Seriously I hate shows where the camera simply cannot stay still. And why do games need an award show? Who cares?
thank gosh i didn't watch it what a travesty
love your show!
Realest dude on this site.
To be fair to Nintendo, they told everyone what the announcement was gonna be like in advanced and everyone just ignored it and hyped themselves up anyways.
I wouldnt mind seeing Geoff again next year as host he was pretty genuine and i could almost see the excitement in his eyes for all the content. That Joel though, yeah i agree get him the fuck outa here
"Jesus fuck my eye Christ"
Leave it to AlphaOmegaSin to come up with a odd but hilarious combo of words.
Next years VGA's should be hosted by Alpha and Angry Joe.
somehow youre more awesome, every video, every time.
That was good distance hahaahahahaahahahaahahahaahahahahahahahah
Havent heard anyone else say Fuck Me Running besides myself in a while. Thx AOS for keepin it alive! Keep making the great videos brother and Ill keep watching
Maybe Reggie was silenced by the vgx to not mention the actual news.
"it will live in infamy"'
Ironically the VGX aired on the anniversary of Peral Harbor.
I didn't even hear about it until it was over!
completely agree with you Alpha.
I have never watched an awards show of any kind, but you kinda make me want to watch it for the comic relief and chance to laugh at a bunch of people.
Joel mimicking Antonio Banderas was the the only redeeming part of that horrid show.
People like you ARE the industry... look at the wall behind Alpha! Thousands of dollars of game and systems. Gamers should vote and present the show. Great video bro!
I don't know about you, Alpha, but I consider Cranky Kong as the highlight of VGX.
When McHale made a joke about the VGX being a "nerd thing" I was pretty annoyed because I could tell me wasn't a gamer and it seemed like a real insult to everyone watching
the awards from spike is a joke from the beginning everytime it comes on I laugh. I mean when xplay was on g4 and did awards I watch that because they actually award the good games not some suckish games that I despise of I mean really..... RIP xplay
I'm suddenly very really pleased that I didn't take the time to watch it... :) and Acheron is a great band indeed! :D
Thank you Alpha I been saying this all along when I saw the VGA's when it was called back then, and I knew that shit was a mess. Hell those people don't know anything about games and don't know how to award them where they shown evidence of that. I think Machinima award show last year was way better then this.
PO-TA-TOES!!! PO-TA-TOES!!!
Reminiscent of the time they took a developer and T-bagged them on national television...
The video games industry just doesn't respect itself. The people running the industry are not gamers- people with a passion for gaming- they're just businessmen. Clearly $$$ is the top priority at this point and not the satisfaction of the consumer.
Joel McHale and Geoff Keighley. Sadly for gamers everywhere, they were awkward, embarrassing, and completely missed the mark. It made dedicated players feel ashamed for loving games. It made gamers wonder if anyone involved with the show had ever actually, you know ever played a video game.
Glad someone else shares my opinion on award shows :-) very well put as usual. I didn't even knew there was this award show, but I'm glad I didn't hehe.
I was so hyped to watch it because this was my first vgx show and i fell asleep half way and woke up at 2 in the moring
I think Joel McHale was pissed off right away because it clearly wasn't planned at all. Pretty sure he is used to it being somewhat organized.
Another part of this is that us gamers live in a bit of a vacuum, journalists included. Joel McHale asked normal questions like "when does this game come out". Us gamers know they announce games like 5 years before they come out. (which is ridiculous).

My suit has shoulderpads.
I think the only celebrity that knew what he was talking about was Seth Green in the 2011 VGAs.
Funniest part was when Reggie said the PS4 and Xbone have pretty hardware but "Need better games"
Also ***** ftw!
If I remember correctly, didn't Joel McHale do a press conference at E3 a few years ago for Ubisoft in regards to a laser tag style game that baffled everyone? No surprise he flopped again here.
I saw clips of the VGX on Angry Joe's vid and it was awkward. I'm so happy that I forgot about it.
Yeah, I didn't bother watching the VGX.
You and many other people, including the people that started watching....got disgusted.....theeeeen quit watching lol
The host just didn't want to be there at all...
When Cranky Kong was the ONLY announcement trending twitter, you know you did something wrong. I don't know why anyone would have expected something big from this show.
Don't get why people are angry at Joel, he was being the same way he is own his own show The Soup. He rips on just about everything.

Fast forward about 6 months later, and still no announcement for FF, and the announcement turned out to be Cranky Kong?!?!?!?! I was disappointed to say the very least.
Does anyone remember the first G-Phoria? Good times.
did you see the tweet making the rounds where geoff keighley was telling people to watch the replay and he said watch it for the inbetween because the awards dont matter. really shows how much they care about it.
Pewdiepie ruining something game related?! I am so shocked to see this and stuff
*sarcastic*
To be fair, Nintendo just said they will show new information of a previously announced title. Was the internet who blow it out of proportion. They wouldn't annouce something important in such a shitty show like that, it has never been good.
Another gaming website should do an awards show like Screw Attack or Rooster Teeth. They would at least be a bit more professional but I don't know if they would be able to get interviews and new announcements.
"But puckering awful" that says it all !
while it's not a big anoucement did you know Cranky Kong is acutaly the original Donky Kong from the first Donky Kong game?
ALPHA! Please tell me that you heard about this new Copyright bullshit that's going around and making a rant about it because this is not good news for game reviews or let's players.
Joel McHale single-handedly killed this program for me. I could handle- barely- the lackluster reveals and NO ONE CLAPPING WHEN AWARDS CAME OUT, but my god, Joel literally did nothing but insult the people he was supposed to be entertaining. It was like he was going to out of his way to say, 'I'm here because I'm being paid, fuck all of you'.
When gone home won 2 awards I took a look at the advisory panel and 4 people gave it 9/10+ and everyone else on the panel had not reviewed it, I just want this award show to never happen again.
The title of this made me start laughing and the rest had me in tears. Thank god there is someone as real and down to earth as AOS on UA-cam who isn't afraid.
VGX 2013 a sign of things to come
If anything, it brought me and friend together to play some segasonic the hedgehog.
I honestly don't get that savage hatred towards PewDiePie, yes, he's humor is juvinile and annoying to some people but it's not like he talks shit about anyone, blames everyone but himself or e-begs, he's a nice guy, cares about he's fans, friends and he's girlfriend.
Zii Guy "His fans"
So Pewdiepie takes the blame because some of he's fans make absurd accusations?
That doesn't sound fair to me.
Basicly like Zii Guy said, its cause 90% of his fans try to shove him down everyones throats whether you like him or not, so the hatred to most of the fanbase goes back to him. If you watch his videos and simple say, "I don't like them" his fans act like you just murdered there puppies. Personally I don't like his videos, and that's OK, I have a preference, and saying "Well stop being a Hater and just Don't watch it!!!" Doesn't really work when his fans shove him down peoples throats for playing the same game, or doing something similar in general.
I didnt even know that VGX was actually the VGA's, im shocked at how horrible it was.
Okay, Nintendo did NOT have a big announcement, they tweeted, and I paraphrase, that "the announcement will be about an earlier announced game". Doritos Pope however did CLAIM it was a big announcement.
Do your fucking research.
when he asked the developer if the inspiration to his game was drugs i thought he was gonna get a slap lol
Wow, I haven't seen an Acheron shirt in quite some time. They're a guilty pleasure of mine.
im looking forward to your thoughts about the NSA on online gaming
Thank you Alpha Omega. I wonder if you can run your own VGAs. Just saying cuz even Angry Joe vid had comments on him being a host or running his own type of VGAs.
Reminded me of that year when Ubisoft used Jamie Kennedy for it's E3 press conference >.>
Yes! I am glad alpha made a video about this.
At least they didn't get Mr Caffeine to host . Remember him from E3 2011?
LOL I loved how Joel took Reggie to task for his crappy reveal. Considering what he had to work with, Joel wasn't really the problem as far as I could tell. Honestly I'd never heard of McHale until the VGX LOL so to me I thought the real problem was the other guy. XD
I didn't bother to watch VGX, so while I'm afraid to ask my curiosity is going to lead me into despair...
What in the holy hell was PewDiePie of all people doing on that show?
i don't get it! why they don't invite youtubers like AngryJoe, TotalBiscuit, Boogie, Dodger, JeremyJahns, Yahtzee, Jim Sterling and others? seriously this show would be so much awesome to watch.
The attempt to pander to the Interwebs has resulted to the VGA/VGX to give an award for "most anticipated". Yes, the videogame industry gives an award for hype. And if the Oscars were like the VGX, half of the show would consist of movie trailers for upcoming movies.
I didn't get to see the VGX, after hearing all of this, I'm really thankful that I didn't.
Damn didn't even knew it was this week
All award shows are terrible, but VGX took it to another level. Why even bother at this point?
Gamer's like to hang on to what pride we still have. The only mainstreamed award show we get pulls this shit? I can understand why he's pissed.
phenominal13 Exactly right.
Glad I missed it then. Sounds like it was almost like watching Microsft E3 when they were shoving kinect down everyone's throats. I forget what year. LIke 2010 or maybe 2009?
I wanted to count how many times we've heard titanfall and witcher 3.
Bethesda keeps letting me down still no Fallout 4 news.
I put on ear-phones late at night just to hear this. At 0:30, I knew it was worth it.
Where did you see the thing about Techland/Warner Bros. being annoyed at Pewdiepies video of Dying Light??
Alpha, what do you think of Award Shows like the Interactive Achievement Awards or the Developer's Choice Awards? The VGA's have always been a joke, I am honestly surprised you got as upset over this joke of a show to begin with (not to say that everything you said wasn't warranted, as it was).
Everybody here should watch this video
VGX 2013 in 3 Minutes
I could literally feel my soul in pain while watching VGX
"Jesus Fuck My Eye Christ"
Tis a quote from one of my favorite Penny arcade comics from way back when
AlphaOmegaSin I'm going to be using that quote from here on out.
AOS, how did u feel about Geoff Keighly on the show?
just discovered your channel and subbed, you're cool man
Nintendo announced ahead of time that their VGX presentation would be for a game that had already been announced. Anyone who got their hopes up for a new IP or a past franchise revival was setting themselves up for disappointment.
How can you even watch Angry Joe? Everything about that guy just exudes "I'm the greatest thing on the planet."
Drives me up the wall.
That's the same vibe I get from everyone on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, except for ToddInTheShadows.
I don't get the "I'm the greatest thing ever" vibe, I get the "I'm confident and love myself and what I do" vibe. Kinda like Omega.
Sheldon Blackwell Yep, that's why I'm subscribed to both. They both offer scathing reviews with their own style. AOS seems more like your buddy who rambles and has fun talking about games. AngryJoe is more of an entertainer with flair and silliness when he talks about games. Both seem to genuinely like games and are on the consumers' side.
I agree, he's vary full of himself
Very simple:
1. He doesn't think he is the greatest shit to hit the Earth. He plays a role, just like the Nostalgia Critic and Angry Video Game Nerd do.
2. He is in fact a game critic. He's supposed to berate things that are bad.
3. He has a certain enthusiasm about what he does that is enjoyable to watch and listen to. It's the same exact reason I listen to Alpha Omega.
Are you going to argue that he drives you up the wall because he says "Fuck" consistently? Fuck that. It's what makes him who he is and it's an intriguing personality trait to see for someone who looks over gaming as a culture.
I can guarantee that this "I'm better than everything" vibe you're talking about exists in just about every game critic you can think of, just in different ways. Where as to Angry Joe is enthusiastically belligerent, others are snobbish, cynical, egotistical for the sake of being egotistical, and so on.
The mandate of being a critic is being fully willing to be an ass in order to get your message across. It's what makes you entertaining.
Did U at least watched Akira on Toonami? Now that was worth watching.
