I think this is my favoirte season to date. and not just because you got Culkin on board. It helped of course but the whole season was strong start to finish.
With this, the Complete Season playlist is now over 34 hours long. You would need an entire weekend to marathon the entire playlist. ... That's a lotta ass!
I personally liked re survivor. It has a charm of its own like every re game. They all have their own charm there really isnt a bad re game with the exception of re2 remake and 3 remake.
The Earthbound episode is truly one of James’ finest work. He goes into such detail and comes out with some absolutely classic lines. “YOURE MUM HAS AN OVERSIZED BOX” 10:06

10:50 true story: When working as a Pepsi delivery driver, while finishing a delivery at a Circle K (gas station) in Streetsboro Ohio. I had to get a signature for the order. I waited in line patiently and when it was my turn the manager behind the counter said “I can’t sign that here, you have to bring it around” And I’m looking at it his bitch like “wtf is wrong with this woman?” So yes, I have had to walk around a desk or in my case, a counter.
These videos are still so wonderful, I really appreciate all the effort. James always gives the impression he’s really done his research and taken a lot of time to create a narrative for the video that also compliments the games features. Timeless.
Seems more like he was being sarcastic but still great to see him on all the AVGN videos and even on Rogan! I wish he was around doing stuff like this more often.
I tested the game Drake of the 99 Dragons. Believe me, we told them the controls were trash. And if only I had the tapes of the interesting bugs we found... dude...
Man, the worst part of testing/QA is getting blamed for everything… it’s like “no we told them, and the producer/Programmer/etc marked it Won’t Fix or As Designed, please don’t put that on us”.
This was honestly a great season, full of memorable moments and classic nerd lines. To keep the quality this high for 12 seasons is super impressive James!
You know, as a kid, I never actually thought about how insanely crazy, absurd, creepy, disgusting, random, and awesome EarthBound was. Listening him to explain it all as an adult is just mind-blowing.
AVGN was already one of the greatest since he began in the early 2000s, even before AVGN was a thing. But as time goes by in the early 21st Century, he just gets better and better to the point of being the best of the absolute best. In other words, he ages as incredibly well as The Rock!
Earthbound was amazing. I think the reason is just like you said, it makes it so you WANT to talk to everyone, the dialog is great. It's like care went into every interaction and they gave everyone a personality, it made you wish there was more dialog if anything.
@@rapidingh723I'll always have a soft spot for Castlevania-thon, my introduction to AVGN back in 2013 just after finishing Castlevania Chronicles. Didn't know about that series either.
I play the AVGN seasons in the background as I work, it's great background noise as I've watched them many times over. I always have to skip the earthbound episode though, because it's just too interesting for me to ignore. One day I'll find the time to sink into that game.
ive never actually gone out of my way to watch AVGN. I always seem to wake up with him playing on my phone, acting almost like my alarm for the morning.
James is the only creator i know of thar has a show that has never made a bad episode, the entire AVGN/Board James etc are entertaining and infinitely rewatchable
I am truly amazed, I thought the Megaman time travel was the nerds' high point, but then avgn comes with Macaulay Culkin cameos, there Pepsi man guy and this resident evil stuff and much more. You rule James.
48:43 "The last level is on Alcatraz, which is a reference to The Enforcer"... Or Clint's 1979 movie ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ. This really is Clint Eastwood: The Game. Haha
I thought exactly the same.. Im guessing its MORE a reference for ESCAPE FROM... because its in the title :) The other reference is far too obscure... Weird the nerd chose that one..
I just want whoever created this to know that I fell asleep this afternoon watching a video on youtube and got woken up not even an hour later by an angry shouty gamer man
Could you imagine maybe like an Octopath Traveller type remake? Or maybe like Final Fantasy 7 remake? I dont know WHAT they would do exactly, but I guarantee I would buy whatever they DID come up with lol. Earthbound is one of the all-time greats. Loved it for over 20 years now.
i absolutely LOVE the last episode with Mac!!they seem like they would actually get along im also a newer fan of AVGN, and im obsessed. hes so fun to watch :D
Welcome aboard! I started watching in 2013 when I played Castlevania Chronicles and my friend linked me Nerd's Castlevania Part 1. I was hooked immediately.

Watching the show on headphones is way more intense!!!!
AVGN splicing himself into the Resident Evil intro is still one of the funniest skits.

He’s so nonchalant it’s great

If you want to see more of him, he's been in Redlettermedia's videos a few times. Mainly in The Best of The Worst series.
That episode is so great.

Haha it's hilarious that every time they cut to the Nerd and Mac, James can't stop smiling.
I mean why wouldn't he be
I can only imagine him finding out that he would one day have a show and have Mac in it, I'm sure he was as excited as I'd be

The way Macaulay Culkin seems super upset from these games is the best

The Earthbound episode was one of my favorite episodes in AVGN the editing and game music make the review 10x better
This was honestly a great season, full of memorable moments and classic nerd lines. To keep the quality this high for 12 seasons is super impressive James!
McCauley Culkin is an absolute class act for making that AVGN video.
That's what I was thinking. What a cool guy
James is so big that MC is the co star 😆
"Maybe i will review that in the year 2020" Coming soon!
I have news
He did.

You know, as a kid, I never actually thought about how insanely crazy, absurd, creepy, disgusting, random, and awesome EarthBound was. Listening him to explain it all as an adult is just mind-blowing.
Lol really? Even as a kid, I was like "this game is jacked"
But I still loved it
You're doing God's work James.
That's old news dude, everyone already knew that.
What, like creating the world in seven days and cause a great flood?
Except James is real.
The hydlide episodes are my favorites out of all of them. Im not sure why, they are just always my goto to rewatch
Me too bro, it's like watching his old video but with 16bit and reference
The Amiga CD32 episode still feels like it was yesterday.
IT WAS YESTERDAY, WE DONT GET OLD!
Watch it again it's 2023
My Favorite Part is when The Nerd calls the real James Rolfe.
I view James as a home town hero. I recognize the CVS he filmed at, and I'm pretty sure that pizza box was from Sopranos pizza.
2:53:19 I love this part. It's such a genuine moment between both of them.
Why wasn’t Saved or Party Monster on the NES 🤔
I just love it when James can barely keep from laughing. Like when the Pizza Boy yelled “DON’T TOUCH ME!” Hahaha
The avgn will never get old
You have no idea how true that is. Seriously! Go look back at the early seasons and then come back to this one. This guy does not age! 0o0
@@RavynMad121 He does age.It´s just that he gets even better the more he ages

Season 12 is a contender for best AVGN season. Episodes are informative, rich and entertaining.
The Wayne's World reference in the Tomb Raider Chronicles segment is gold. Absolute genius!
"This game didn't jump the shark it jumped the BATS!" Bro Macaulay Culkin legit had me laughing the entire time. 🤣🤣🤣

Time to add another to my favorites list. Glad to see that even to this day AVGN is still awesome.
The homage to the Resident Evil 2 intro is spectacular! The Nerd is the greatest!
This was a really, really, really, really great season looking back.
10:10 "YOUR MOM HAS AN OVERSIZED BOX!!" That comeback was legendary.
I love you so much man. I wish you and your lovely family all the best. Thank you for entertaining us all the years.
Best line so far: "Your MOM has an oversized box!!!"
LOVE the TOOL references!! SO awesome to hear my THE nerd shout out my favorite band! Sweeeeeet!

2 years later and this is still my favorite episode. I miss bunny ears, when's it coming back Mack?
The acting in drake of the 99 dragons just makes me want to wail "Calculon!!!"
"Oh no what a time to find out you have a hygiene problem" I lost my shit 😂
Who else watched all 3 hours? I did and loved it.
I watched them when they came out individually and you can bet your ass I'm watching this all the way through when I have time.
"Is this how you live?" Macaulay Culkin feeling the need to ask somebody else this question is pure gold.
Earthbound needs to be remade for the switch. Change my mind.
That would be a dream come true.
Could you imagine maybe like an Octopath Traveller type remake? Or maybe like Final Fantasy 7 remake? I dont know WHAT they would do exactly, but I guarantee I would buy whatever they DID come up with lol. Earthbound is one of the all-time greats. Loved it for over 20 years now.
If you don't mind cfw , you can play earthbound on the switch ;)
@Bob Cook Nah it's actually pretty good
it should also get a port on it.
All of your episodes are bangers, but this one's especially iconic, at least, I feel.
