    "Football.
    Not this Madden Shit!
    Just plain-ass normal, every-day, no question about it, no N.F.L. no year, not named after a player, not named after a coach, not named after the referee's pet goldfish,no quarterback, dime back, nickle back, simple ordinary, unembellished, unmistakable, crystal-clear, as frank as frankenstein, as blunt as an atom BOMB,
    one compound word!
    It's motherfucking goddamn, sonsabitchen, fuck, Fuck, FUCKIN' FOOTBALL!!!
    UNNGH!!!"

      "the humor isn't drastically up your face with overly extended skits and unnecessary padding like in some of the later episodes" you sure you aren't talking about Nostalgia Critic??

    7:30 the sun looks more like pac-man than the actual atari pac-man

      +Jin Jusuke AVGN shouldnt know about Pokemon, he's a fuckin' Nerd so shouldnt register anything beyond the NES/SNES eras :p
      Though having said that, I guess by now Generation 1 Pokemon is nostalgic, and makes me feel old :(

      grimTales1 But he has played GameBoy and GameBoy Advanced games. And I remember Pokémon was created before the N64, which he also has played before.

      Good point. Pokemon Red and Green (Japan) was released on February 27, 1996 in Japan so I think thats right. Pokemon Blue was released a bit later there.
      Though why the US only got Red and Blue... I've no idea.

    “I’d say play this...or the latest Madden.” Knowing that this episode came out the same year as Madden 13, I’d say James just made a cardinal sin of a suggestion.
