      David Firth A lot of people things this game is crap because of it's difficulty but actually they thing this game sucks because it's not from a famous publisher. Game is not harder than Ghosts'n Goblins or any one of TMNT ganes. Infact it might be a bit easier.

    It’s so rare to see a UA-cam series just get progressively better as time goes on, where the formula is changed time and again, new things are added, but it still has the heart and soul of what it was at the beginning. In fact, AVGN might be the only series where this is the case. And that’s truly praise worthy.

      Sure it's a character, but what made the early episodes better was that the character was informed by his actual feelings, even if it was exaggerated.
      Now it's really transparent that he has to actively look for things to get angry about and it becomes more apparent that it's a character being acted, it removes suspension of disbelief and shatters the theater.

He showed me a polaroid of him with the scholarship check as I didn't believe him. Name was Martin but I have forgotten his last name. He did steal my copy of Dragon Force for the Sega Saturn as well. But yes, someone did actually win the contest.
