Hey James, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you still making AVGN videos. It's been over a decade and you're still putting them out there. It's real dedication right there!
It's the quality James puts un his videos that makes him popular for over a decade. Sad to say how others on UA-cam that were popular 10 years ago are forgotten today. You can tell that James respects the craft of filmmaking. He is a true professional
In some old Windows games (at least Win95/98 it was pretty common), if you Alt+Enter to switch for another application while there's audio playing, the game usually pauses but it may also stuck looping ~0.2 second long audio buffer. So, there you have it.
He's got a style that's just absolutely classic. The scat humor has been toned down, which I appreciate. But every episode is entertaining and has at least a few laughs if not an absolute ton. There's never been a disappointing AVGN episode. It's great.
This is probably one of my favorite AVGN episodes and it's one that stuck with me to this day. The jokes, the review and the overall tone of this is my favorite, I grew up during the era when Lara Croft was still big and Core was releasing these games. The 90's and the early 2000's were something special and I am glad the Nerd is touching upon the history of these games.
AVGN is the only Internet series I enjoyed when I was twelve and still enjoy ten years later. I think it works so well because it's relatable for all ages. Children relate to the frustration of shitty games and adults identify with the cynicism of going into something knowing it'll suck. That's why it holds up so well. The swearing and over the top skits only enhance this. The Nerd is simultaneously ridiculous and believable, because his character is somewhere in between the frustrated child and cynical adult, which resonates with the audience.
Lol, thinking back, if AVGN existed when I was 8 and my parents caught me watching it, I'd have had no internet for like 2 months in punishment. Way too vulgar. XD
did you see the starship troopers movie review video? james shamelessly promotes a $400 watch in it..LOL cant make this up bro. So he jokes about timex, some cheap watch in this video..then in his own video promotes some luxury watch, like any of his viewers are gonna buy it.
We all enjoy him but on the other hand, I respect his wish to eventually (probably) want to stop doing this stuff and do something new. 10 years is a long time to play the same character and do the same sort of show all the time. I won't blame him when it finally ends, and I'll enjoy rewatching the classics.
That ending just cracked me up dude. Always good to see a new nerd video. I said it before and I'll say it again, nothing compares to the original, like Gucci, often imitated never duplicated, the nerd is the one and only.
Nostalgia Critic - makes pointless and unfunny sketches during his reviews AVGN - makes a "sketch" that's both relevant to his review, but is also done as a reference to the game series he's reviewing. James has always been the winner
I started watching AVGN when I was 13, I'm 21 now and just finished watching every episode once again. You've gotten me through some tough times James. Thanks, keep it up.
BTW Playstation 1 games are actually pretty damn small. The reason they usually took up so much space on a disk was either the FMV sequences or CD quality music. Matter of fact, games like FF7 have the same game code on each disc, the only reason you have to change is because the different game cinematics are on the different discs! Try it out, after you change discs when loading your game or after beating that part of the game, switch your disc back to 1 or 3. The game will play perfectly fine (at least until either a disc/copy check or FMV needs to play!)
Yep, I found that out as a kid when I played what i think was FF8. At some point, the game would freeze because the disc was scratched, but switching to a different disc solved that.
After all, he WOULD rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear, and he WOULD rather eat the mouldy asshole of roadkill and down it with beer, so you'd expect him to be pissed off enough to punch a shark.
I don't what are you talking about guys! I enjoy the fuck out of his episodes. Maybe they're not the best, but it's cool to see something you watched years ago still going strong.
If you thought "Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness" was bad on the PS2..... Oh boy, believe it or not there was also a DVD player version of the game...... Where the game plays itself and you command it using basic JRPG text mechanics.
One of my greatest memories, was my 12th birthday. I had a couple friends over to sleepover and one of my friends showed me the fucking Nerd. It's was ironically Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout, and I've been watching ever since. Still friends with him too, one of my best friends actually. Good times. Simpler times. :)
My favourite part of angel of darkness was the tutorial saying "press the jump button to jump"... ye if I knew what that was I wouldn't be needing a tutorial now would I.
So here's a weird thing I found. There's this guy in the park, you walk up to him and he just says the same thing, over and over. "Where did YOU learn to fly?"
Ah my bad. Practical effects are something that James did a lot in his reviews, & some of the props seemed to be reoccurring stuff from his past episodes so I figured he and his team build them similar to the stuff he used in the Flying Fuckernauts vs The Astro Bastards video.
Angel of Darkness had so many weird glitches in the cutscenes. Like sometimes, the cutscenes softlock and the audio keeps repeating. I see it a lot in speedrunning videos

There may have been 2 actually. The one I mentioned I have a copy of and its its own individual release, but I also seem to recall some bonus game being included on one of the two movies DVDs as an extra.
If your PS2 console was in french, it would freeze the game after the cutscene. You return it to the rental store to be said that you need to put your console in english to make it work.
it reminds me to Civ V release, it would crash on spanish versions of windows xp until they patch it a week or so later, also this very year: Nobunaga Ambition Taishi has a bug that crashes the english version of the game on some systems and still hasn't been answered in steam forums by the devs. And it's been months.
ps3, xbox 360 and Wii is outdated ps2, xbox and gamecube is retro ps1, N64 and Saturn is classic nes, snes, sms and gen is legend atari 2600 no body cares
If he didn’t review newer games than he used to his audience would shrink. Back in ‘06 when AVGN got big the people in that 18-34 demographic were born in 1972-1988 and hence many of them grew up on NES. Now 18-34 is 1984-2000, many of whom grew up on the PS1 and newer systems. The older part of this group grew up on Genesis, SNES, even NES era, and of course you can still watch AVGN and find it funny at 35+ so he still has a lot of his original fan base too. But even they probably played the PS1 and newer systems as teens and/or young adults. October 3, 2018 3:15 am
lara croft its one of those strong female characters, shes an elegant and civilised polar opposite to duke nukem... duke beeing almost everything 80s action hero there is which in itself makes him a great character on its own.
Came here after seeing that we're getting a new Tomb Raider remastered collection next year which will have Last Revelation, Chronicles and Angel of Darkness so hopefully the problems those games had will be fixed.
How da hell, I stsrted playing Chronicles a couple of days ago and now James make an avgn of Tomb Raider classic games? I swear that fucking nerd reads my mind everytime I start playing an classic PS game
13:40 look how incredibly massive Lara's eyeballs are compared to a normal human being... her eyeballs must be 3 times the size. and her lips... it's like they're characters that aren't from the same game!
James obviously cut a hole in the bottom but I wonder how he prevented the weapons from giving off a sound upon hitting the floor. Some sort of matress perhaps?
I vividly remember playing chronicles and getting quite far, at one point just after the firing range part I fell down the elevator shaft and midway down I pressed start and instead of going down to "load game" I accidentally hit "save game" and the loop began. Everytime I loaded I was falling and died, then it would load again, I'm falling, I die. I had to start from the beginning.
Had it happen is Assassins Creed Syndicate. I happened to be standing on a crane lifted platform as I went to replay a mission. After that the game always loaded me in that spot, with the platform not below me. Causing me to fall to my death everytime I loaded it.
The girlfriend and I just had a massive fight and broke up. Drove home and was sulking around when I decided to check UA-cam, and I see a new AVGN episode Thank you based James
Its Thanos Thanos, you might be the one to blame here, your little snap might have sent his girlfriend to a parallel universe (in 0.5 A Presses) but it’s all good because she probably deserved it.
I can see what they were going for with Angel of Darkness. A dark Tomb Raider with a great soundtrack and a semi-open world and a mystery to sorta solve, but you can tell that everything was left unfinished. I actually beat it back in the day when it was more-or-less new because I DID like its atmosphere. It's just sad that it didn't ever get finished, I can only imagine how great of a game it could have been had it had more time to be worked on.

Dont say James like youre friends with him. He wont ever see this.
Only certain people would get that.
Lol Garth algar haha
Chronicles included the Level Editor on PC. Made it 100% worthwhile.
The Hydlide music when referencing Indiana Jones is hilarious. Great throwback.
Yeah.
And then the games were reviewed months later.
Wait, was the foreshadowing?
(But yes, I see what he was going for.)
I’ve been watching AVGN since the beginning. Hands down my favorite UA-cam series of all time.🙌🏼
You know it's great month when you got Monster Madness & AVGN episodes around the same time.
But those are old Monster Madness reviews
Always!!!
And nostalgia-ween ;)
Amen
Victor Jose Martinez Doug Walker is a piece of shit and I lost all respect for him
I miss when the Tomb Raider games and the PS1 were new.
I just loved those demo CDs they used to send subscribers in the mail.
Classic AVGN. Great work James!
How did this end up being top comment!?
@@joncampbell5021 idk
I’m the 1K like lol
U
Great work
James Charles
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how AVGN uses the cheap Hydlide remix instead of the actual Indiana Jones theme
I don't think he wanted to evoke the godly wrath that is George Lucas.
You mean Disney?
Its more on theme
Oh yeah. I guess I'm still in denial.
"*sigh* I'm playing Hydlide.."
If your PS2 console was in french, it would freeze the game after the cutscene. You return it to the rental store to be said that you need to put your console in english to make it work.
Damn, that's one hell of a bug! Localization testing fail. But that's what happens when companies rush games to market for the damn holiday season.
it reminds me to Civ V release, it would crash on spanish versions of windows xp until they patch it a week or so later, also this very year: Nobunaga Ambition Taishi has a bug that crashes the english version of the game on some systems and still hasn't been answered in steam forums by the devs. And it's been months.
Wait. you mean the person at the rental store didn't turn around and tell you to leave them alone they're busy? :P
3:59 that Wayne's World reference though
18:18 AVGN could've just thrown the Nokia phone at the dragon
The impact would probably dent the screen a little, but not before splitting the dragon's forehead in 2
The usage of Nokia phones as weapons are strictly forbidden according to Geneva Convention.
Or shielded himself from the falling debris.
That ending killed me! LMFAO
LOL that dragon scene "Leave me alone. I'm busy." ;)
F U C K
F U C K

So many croutons.
Yeah that ending got me
RIP zombie
The nerd reviewing PS2 games.
Now I feel really old.
Ps2 is a retro console. What a world!
He did that like 4 years ago already.
ps3, xbox 360 and Wii is outdated
ps2, xbox and gamecube is retro
ps1, N64 and Saturn is classic
nes, snes, sms and gen is legend
atari 2600 no body cares
If he didn’t review newer games than he used to his audience would shrink. Back in ‘06 when AVGN got big the people in that 18-34 demographic were born in 1972-1988 and hence many of them grew up on NES. Now 18-34 is 1984-2000, many of whom grew up on the PS1 and newer systems. The older part of this group grew up on Genesis, SNES, even NES era, and of course you can still watch AVGN and find it funny at 35+ so he still has a lot of his original fan base too. But even they probably played the PS1 and newer systems as teens and/or young adults.

Guess ran out nes games have to upgrade with the times
lara croft its one of those strong female characters, shes an elegant and civilised polar opposite to duke nukem... duke beeing almost everything 80s action hero there is which in itself makes him a great character on its own.
the ending was perfect with the pause and the nerd screaming haha so good
That was the best part
2 in one week? Wow I'm suprised!
It's to keep us satisfied while he does other products.
It was 2 at the same time on Prime Video.
James's head on Lara Croft's body is terrifying.
Well it is October, the month of horror.
Agreed it scares my soul
He's the Angry Tomb Raider Nerd.
9:01 nah, this is
*beautiful
Came here after seeing that we're getting a new Tomb Raider remastered collection next year which will have Last Revelation, Chronicles and Angel of Darkness so hopefully the problems those games had will be fixed.
"Not gonna kill my character, not yet" I hope nerd never dies
Ha nice dig at nc
the angry video game geek, lol
Fact Fortress 2 Well i did have a theory once that the nerd that we see today is the new Nerd, and during the 2007-2009 we had the og Nerd.
@James Dominick Like Kenny from South Park
@@waldened Nah, A B B A
when did the nerd learn to pocket things like link?
you mean like Lara?
That’s Lara’s infinite backpack
How da hell, I stsrted playing Chronicles a couple of days ago and now James make an avgn of Tomb Raider classic games? I swear that fucking nerd reads my mind everytime I start playing an classic PS game
Maybe his backpack runs on Tardis technology
This is great I love tomb raider..
This is like classic AVGN. Bravo.
13:40 look how incredibly massive Lara's eyeballs are compared to a normal human being... her eyeballs must be 3 times the size. and her lips... it's like they're characters that aren't from the same game!
LOL
She is an alien, now move on.
Lara is canonically an anime girl confirmed
2:24
Ok nerd stop flexing on us with your school supplies
It´s me, Josephi Krakowski, with flex tape!
School shootings
Oi! It's Ned Kelly! Come one men! Shoot him on sight!
*OMFG*
I damn near choked on my drink lol
In the next 5 years he gonna start reviewing Xbox 360 and ps3 games like duke nuekem forever
Ride to Hell: Retribution 2023!
Anthony Paul lol there a lot more shitty NES and SNES games too
Lotta' shitty games we have here
Duke Nukem Forever has been done by LGR. No need for a Nerd episode.
I can't believe those are considered "old" now. Times change.
i will give the creators a little credit. that is a quality jiggle. 8:43
You're so damn right!
Especially since her boobs would never jiggle again
True
It's so sad Angel of Darkness wasn't even nearly finished
A new episode already? I must be dreaming.
same
They where realized on the Amazon instant video at the same time a few weeks back
RIGHT LOOK WHOS PUMPIN EM OUT BACK TO BACK TO BACK
Dio Drando I know right
Afraid not, fellow anime avatar.
Nice to see proper episodes without overreacting.
Feels like classic seasons again.
Well done.
Oh Super Mecha Death Christ how I missed you .
It’s been a long time
you forgot 2.0 beta
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitpickleshitpickleshitpickle
2:24 did my man load a kar-98 into his backpack
2:16 an actual videogame backpack
My backpack in Fallout 4
James obviously cut a hole in the bottom but I wonder how he prevented the weapons from giving off a sound upon hitting the floor. Some sort of matress perhaps?
You think so? I think he probably just slid the guns behind the backpack entirely, messing with our depth perception.
Lol
the Backpack of Hole-ding!
"Maybe if I kill off my character...not yet"
**foreshadowing intensifies*
He did kill the nerd once, actually. It was one of the episodes with bugs bunny, don't remember which one.
@@SolarSAG Crazy Castle right?
@@SolarSAG was it rob the robot?
Cory Mck suicide?
@@noahfessenden6478 Yup, he dies in an explosion with Woody the Woodpecker on Bugs Bunny's body.
HAHAHA the dragon at the end! "Leave me alone, im busy!"
A DRAGON GUARDING AN ANCIENT, UNDERGROUND TEMPLE, SAYING IT'S BUSY!?!?! IT LOOKS THE LEAST BUSY THING DOWN THERE!!!!!
The part where the Nerd machine guns the skeleton just makes me laughs uncontrollably!
3:55 love that wayne's world reference
too subtle, not enough timex gear
2 Nerd episodes already? I love you James!
Jesus Christ dude. It's 2018 and I tried wiping the eyelash off my screen
Where to buy the AVGN dimensional bag?
Right next to the shop, where Harry Potter bought his magical wand.
Available now at Ass R Us in three exciting colors. Across the street from Caldor.
he put the link on the description
*Merch description* link to be exact.
That's it.
I kept trying to figure out what guns he was dumping in there. The AK and Beretta were obvious, but I think that's a Karabiner 98K and a 1911 as well.
It's bigger on the inside! 😁
13:45 oh, so you don't know this is a weirdly censored version of an extremely weird cutscene
holy shit, that gag with the bottomless backpack was really good.
it was!! )) really cracked me up
I love hearing the old intro song even though it was for like 7 seconds 😅
Sir GzOnE 9
I vividly remember playing chronicles and getting quite far, at one point just after the firing range part I fell down the elevator shaft and midway down I pressed start and instead of going down to "load game" I accidentally hit "save game" and the loop began. Everytime I loaded I was falling and died, then it would load again, I'm falling, I die. I had to start from the beginning.
Lol
I had that happen in fallout 3 with a grenade trap
Had it happen is Assassins Creed Syndicate. I happened to be standing on a crane lifted platform as I went to replay a mission. After that the game always loaded me in that spot, with the platform not below me. Causing me to fall to my death everytime I loaded it.
Shit
The escalation from a couple pistols to a UMP45 to an AK to a Garand to a literal Bazooka is interesting
I think that's a G36 and a Kar98
@@ProtoBlueGaming and an AT4.
How he got all those weapons is more interesting lol...and worrisome 🤔
@@Handle...This. Simple answer, smuggling
I always enjoy a good bottomless backpack bit. Very nice.
It wasn't bottomless he cut the bottom off and made it seem like everything fit but in reality the stuff was coming out from the bottom
Wait, are you serious? James didn't have a real life magical bag?
If he cut the bottom off, then it was truly bottomless...
,
@@myztik5716 no they do exist i have one but the one he has is just a regular one that he cut , mine is not cut at the bottom
The girlfriend and I just had a massive fight and broke up.
Drove home and was sulking around when I decided to check UA-cam, and I see a new AVGN episode
Thank you based James
Im sorry for your breakup, i hope things get better.
Sorry, man :(
Its Thanos Thanos, you might be the one to blame here, your little snap might have sent his girlfriend to a parallel universe (in 0.5 A Presses) but it’s all good because she probably deserved it.
I am sorry.
Maxie Karn So sorry dude, It sure must have been hard to get over, get well soon
It's always a good day when Avgn uploads.
Yess
I only have like 4 or 5 good days a year too.
Who came back after the Tomb Raider 4-6 Remaster trailer ?
The Wayne's World reference was spot on.
and Last Crusade
Wait where’s that reference
Trevor, which, Wayne's World or Indiana Jones?
Keithustus both please
Trevor, just watched most of it again. Indiana Jones is “Junior” portion at 14:35. I didn’t spot the Wayne’s World though. Maybe next time I watch.
The part with the school bag is comedy at its best!
yea it looks like hes getting ready for school
Must have got that bag from the Time Lords!
@@michaelt.lancaster9776 No, he got it from Link. XD
Wonder if he found out there's a hole in his bag?
@@hockyjocky4
Hahaha.
I can see what they were going for with Angel of Darkness. A dark Tomb Raider with a great soundtrack and a semi-open world and a mystery to sorta solve, but you can tell that everything was left unfinished. I actually beat it back in the day when it was more-or-less new because I DID like its atmosphere. It's just sad that it didn't ever get finished, I can only imagine how great of a game it could have been had it had more time to be worked on.
