      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.

    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.

      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.

    You know it's great month when you got Monster Madness & AVGN episodes around the same time.

    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!)

      I also didn't know this, would try it if I had the game.

      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.
