I never appreciated the fact that when other nostalgia channels display their nes games, it’s in a glass case all protected. But when James shows his stuff, it’s all over the place and the chords are all tangled and shit like how you would picture a genuine gaming room
Nintendo is made to be played in a basement with old wood paneling, brownish carpeting, furniture from the 70's or 80's, and on a barely working CRT TV. AVGN has the perfect setup.

Rolling Rock is a northeastern beer and James' drink of choice to help calm himself down when reviewing games. Light, smooth and actually quite delicious.@@MichaelRossi__
I always liked how he genuinely seems to enjoy himself playing Rad Racer. Like the combination of the Power Glove and 3D glasses is just so awesomely 80s that even the guy whose entire persona is being angry can’t help but love it.
I've quoted this before and I'll quote it again: "What's the most important aspect of any game? Well, being able to fucking PLAY it!" - James Rolfe, 2006 Extremely relevant back then and somehow still extremely relevant to this very day.
Yep, I was just think that to myself recently. After playing WWE 2k18 and having it crash 3 times in a row because it's so glitchy, I said it out loud.
Imagine if thanos finally got all infinity stones, only to find out that using the guantlet was a janky mess that didn’t work 75% of the time. You know, like mordecai and rigby with the maximus glove in that regular show episode.
I own a Power Glove. No, I'm not related to that Lucas. And yes, it _is_ bad; with it, I've shot knives backwards when I didn't want to in Ghosts 'n' Goblins.* The glove's challenging if it works "right," though my arm gets tired after a while. * Sometimes, the glove would momentarily send a "left" signal when I was moving right and twitching my finger to throw a knife. Not always, though.
This guy has been on UA-cam almost as long as I’ve been alive. Everyone wants to talk about how Pewdiepie is og or game theory is og. This guy MADE them.
Being the same age as James, I also grew up with all these games and every few years, I have to come back and revisit these videos....the absolute nostalgia is fantastic!
I love it how on Regular show made an episode referencing to the Wizard movie and actually calling the episode the Wizard. Plus at the end of the episode, it also show's that the 2 main characters won the power glove but instead called the maximum glove and once they used it, i didn't work. XD
@Johnny Ortega And (to state what's obvious to a lot of us, I'm sure) it's just so much more open ended to be a _Video Game Nerd,_ not just a _Nintendo Nerd._ Otherwise, no DRIVIN' AROUND IN FUCKIN' TRUCKS.
I like the fact that James couldn't land the plane in Top Gun with a controller, and yet he lands it perfectly with the Power glove, which as we know is fucking terrible.
I can't believe it's been 16 years since I saw this. The Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and Power Glove trilogy are my favorite episodes. I'm almost 29, so most of my live I've watched James.
I guess that the control of powerless glove is could be like this: 1.set the sensors correctly 2.enter the code 3.wear the glove 4.make sure that your hand is right in front of the sensor that it got direction and action symbols Tip: for most of the games if you swipe your hand to the directions it will go to that direction also for A bottom squeeze your hand and for B bottom flicker your fingers for successfully do the action.
I never grew up with the AVGN, even as a kid raised on the Internet... but I still find that watching the Nerd brings me an odd sense of nostalgia for simpler days. When playing video games on console was the peak of digital entertainment.
Sean S, Oh Yeah, Lol, pretty much the infinity gauntlet of Gaming, it's power is so dangerous and so horrible it can destroy half of Gaming with a wave of a hand.
