AVGN Errors and Plagiarism

AVGN Plagiarism

Who cares? Marvel's X-men was copied from DC's Doom Patrol, Batman was copied from Zorro, Superman was copied from Philip Wylie's Gladiator, the Lion King was copied from Kimba the White Lion, Megaman was copied from Astro Boy, GI Joe's Cobra was copied from Marvel's Hydra, Green Lantern was copied from Lensmen, and AVGN himself was copied from Seanbaby. Seriously, what's your point?

Oh, and I see you've avoided the original point of this debate: IG plagiarizing AVGN. That's good, because as always, saying that IG ripped off AVGN is an odd claim, because that's like saying Sonic ripped off Mario because they're both video games. They're just both video game reviewers.

O RLY? Let's review the facts. Exhibit A, IG was never sued for plagiarism. Exhibit B, there are many other angry reviewers out there, so if he were to be called a rip-off, then does that mean all angry reviewers are rip-offs as well? Exhibit C, AVGN isn't the first angry reviewer or the first video game reviewer. Owned. :D

Yes, because AVGN taking note that everything kills you in some video games is copyrighted to him. :D I bet that if AVGN takes note that the sun is hot and water is wet, he'd have dibs on those observations too. :D

IG shouldn't be able to steal anything from AVGN because AVGN is already a derivative concept to begin with. There's nothing original about Video Game Reviewers at all. Saying that IG ripped off AVGN is an odd claim, because that's like saying Sonic ripped off Mario because they're both video games. They're just both video game reviewers. Get over it.

I still say IG hasn't plagiarized any more than Pepsi plagiarized Coke's idea by releasing Pepsi Vanilla after Coke Vanilla. You should answer this argument instead of retreating behind based conclusions. It's not a settled case.

In order to plagiarize, you must present someone else's work as your own. But that can't be if it's common knowledge or a paraphrase. In Back to the Future, yes, IG also comments on sleeveless black shirts, change of scenery. But that's common knowledge. Anyone who played the game could comment on that. AVGN can't copyright that. It's just similar reviews. That's all.

Two people who see the same thing can say the same thing about it. Similarities don't prove plagiarism, and again, IT'S NOT THE SAME AS "COPY". Your comment proves nothing. It simply demonstrates similarity, not plagiarism. Have you seen IG's videos recently? Would you still say he's copying?

AVGN actually claimed this during his pseudo-feud with Nostalgia Critic. It's satirical: if more than one person has seen something, more than person may review that thing. It's to be expected. Even with IG. If you're not going to take it, you're not much of an AVGN supporter.

I don't buy into the IG hate. He has developed something incredible and he came up with many original ideas. It's the few that overlap with AVGN that make people mad. I go back to AVGN's statements. If more than one person has seen it, you can expect more than one person to review it.

Every one of these videos, from One176's Shitload of Fuck video collection to Archfiend's butthurt reply over having his video flagged (LOL) are all just accusations, not proof. Otherwise, if they really are solid, can-be-used-in-a-court-of-law proof that IG plagiarizes, then shouldn't IG be behind bars or at the very least be forced to pay a fine?

The fact that he isn't shows that all your so-called "proofs" are just accusations you _cannot_ back up. :) Besides, that one last video of yours even contained a disclaimer "This was a little farfetched in my opinion, so I left it out." LOL, fail.

Here's the rub. Just because you show similarities, that doesn't prove anyone is copying anyone else. Just because A came before B doesn't mean A caused or B copied A. A and B CAN AND DO exist simultaneously.It doesn't matter how many videos there are. None of that means it DID happen.

You sound like you already have your mind made up no matter what happens. The fact is there are similarities between reviews. That we can agree on. But that's not proof of plagiarism. ANYONE who played those games (and saw the movies in the BttF case) could say those things. That's COMMON KNOWLEDGE. You cannot copyright that legally (go ahead and try). That's why it can't legally be called plagiarism or infringement. Your accusations don't "prove" anything.

IG never plagiarized AVGN and in his 200th video celebration he has long ago acknowledged the existence of angry reviewers like AVGN, among many others including Armake and PlayItBogart.

By that argument, you're basically saying any reviewer that's angry rips off AVGN. Which is false, because AVGN isn't even the first or only angry reviewer out there. Sorry, before you post next time, try to make sense. :D

Last I checked, IG doesn't make animal poop jokes, forced references to American Movie, shoehorned horror movie references, forced comparisons to Simon's Quest, more animal poop jokes, or displays an obsession with zoophilia and coprophilia. He also didn't pretend to shit on his best friend in a fursuit. :D

You want the truth, you need to get it from IG himself. I still say this is no more plagiarism that Pepsi releasing Pepsi Vanilla after Coke releases Coke Vanilla. It's similar, not plagiarism.

Last I checked, AVGN never reviewed Tetris, Q-Bert, Aladdin, Home Improvement, Super Mario Brothers 2, Where's Wally, M.U.S.C.L.E., the Kool-Aid Man Atari game, Robocop, and the Cool Spot game. You have no idea what you're talking about.

The amount of NES games made is amazing, but AVGN chooses several already done by IG, like Ghost and Goblins, Contra, Indiana Jones, and ROB. Bravo. :D

If by your logic everything someone does first, the other copied, then I guess AVGN stole IG's Contra, ROB, Predator, Ghost and Goblins, and Indiana Jones reviews. :D

Except IG didn't copy any lines, he merely made the same observations. It's only natural to make the same observations on the same games. That's not plagiarism, that's common sense. :D

Yes, because anyone that reviews the same video game is ripping off AVGN automatically. Care to cite what instances of the video did IG rip off from AVGN? Or did you not watch the video in question before commenting?

Wasn't it AVGN who said: IT'S SATIRICAL. Nobody should care who reviews what first and when. There's no official signup sheet. If more than one person has seen the same video game or accessory, they can each express each other's opinions.

Game reviewing has been done ever since video games came into existence.

IG is no worse than Silent Rob or Armake. I couldn't care less what he does. I'm going to watch his videos as long as I find them entertaining. If they're not to me, then I won't watch them and I won't go about a bitching rampage about it like some of the more obsessed AVGN supporters out there.

So? AVGN didn't start the trend of doing angry reviews with old school games. How can IG plagiarize a genre that AVGN didn't even invent in the first place?

I know AVGN reviewed this game before but IG bring out some new facts. I didn't know there was powerups or checkpoints in this game. Also IG showed us bosses and AVGN didn't tell us anything about them. Do you think it's good argument to say that IG is AVGN rip-off because AVGN reviewed this game first? IG reviewed e.g ROB the Robot and JAWS before AVGN. If you still have problem with that then why you watch this? Watch AVGN if you like him. I love this show because it's different.

And yet IG was never sued by AVGN nor will he ever be sued by AVGN because there's no proof of plagiarism. If AVGN is going to sue, he might as well sue people like PlayItBogart, Armake, Nostalgia Critic, Spoony, Angry Joe, and all the other angry reviewers that came after him. AVGN can also be sued by Seanbaby and Classic Gaming Room, who are video game reviewers that came before him. Seriously, there's no case.

The problem with the "fanboys" is that no matter what game review someone does, if it involves being annoyed, or any older console game, they will automatically direct you to the AVGN... as if there were no annoyed reviewers or old system game reviews prior.

Yeah, welcome to 2007. Same old shit. Also, look up plagiarism before continuing with this debate. If you go by the "AVGN did both those reviews before IG" route, then by your logic, AVGN ripped off Noah Antwiler's Street Fighter 2010 review, ripped off NC's Teddy Ruxpin Review, ripped off Seanbaby's Reviews of Wally and the No Gang, Bible Adventures, Atari Porn, Milon's Secret Castle, and so on.

I find it curious that you're concluding that IG plagiarized AVGN as a matter of fact, when the true fact remains that once pressed, AVGN revealed that he's not going to do any legal action against IG at all. Think about that for a moment; IG Haters keep accusing IG of plagiarism, but when it all comes down to it, even AVGN himself is aware that he has no conclusive proof of that at all.

Nothing you said is true. You say IG plagiarizes AVGN, yet when pressed, all you can come up is with old videos people have long ago seen. You aren't able to rebut me because YOU know I am right. When you have two reviewers on the same game, they will have to point out the same flaws.

Here's evidence that IG had the idea to travel back in time before AVGN did. IG's Back to the Past short (watch?v=8U-jdvAmpno) was published in April 23, 2006. AVGN's Back to the Future (watch?v=y306cWw98a4) review? It was released July 29, 2006. LOL, keep on crying, IG haters!

Here's plagiarism's definition: Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as the "wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work, but the notion remains problematic with nebulous boundaries.

Notice the "representation of them as one's own original work" part. Because IG provided citation and because he actually bothered changing several of his video's language in light of the law, no court in America will get him jailed or fined for plagiarism.

Besides which, even without citation, IG's use of "shitload of fuck" falls under fair use, unless you want to sue everyone and their grandma who ever used "I'm Rick James, bitch" on behalf of the estate of Rick James and Dave Chapelle.

And that phrase "Shitload of Fuck" is common, by the way. I knew guys in college who said that (before AVGN). I have already heard these accusations. Sorry. I'm not convinced.

Bottom Line: IG has never been sued because there is no case here. The fact that you or the legal representatives of James Rolfe can't present your silly little parody videos to court is proof that IG is innocent of wrongdoing.

In the AVGN fanbrat's mind, AVGN created everything in the video game review universe. If there were people who created things before he did, then they must have plagiarized him through time and space.

Seanbaby, Yahtzee, and the creators of Classic Gaming Room must be stopped, because they've somehow gained the power to travel through time and space in order to plagiarize AVGN. Luckily, this mouth-breather is here to stop them by posting droll insults on an unrelated video's comment section.

Seanbaby was doing the "review shitty games" gig for EGM back in the Nineties, which is long before AVGN became famous. If anything AVGN was inspired by guys like Seanbaby, not the other way around.

IG shot the duck hunt dog months before AVGN, he used game sprite interaction before AVGN, and he also does a documentary-style review of Mario 2 with Satan showing up in the end way before AVGN's documentary-style review of Mario 3 with Satan showing up in the end. So really dude, you've been owned so bad, it hurts. You fail. (facepalm)

IrateGamer already did "Behind the Scenes" or "Making of" video way before AVGN did one. He even ripped him off with his Rob the Robot review, Predator review, Indiana Jones review, and Ghost and Goblins review. You even use some of the exact same phrases than him, such as "time consuming project".

AVGN is a poor man's Classic Gaming Room. Many of the "ideas" that people allege that IG plagiarized from AVGN are general things found in the Video Game Reviewer genre. Besides which, AVGN's Mr. Bucket is more of a rip-off of NC's Teddy Ruxpin review than IG's BTTF review to AVGN's BTTF review. What's more, AVGN went downhill from there.

Like I said, these fanboys are just frustrated that AVGN isn't funny anymore, and now they're taking it out on IG. They feel like anyone who reviews games is somehow ripping off AVGN, and these idiots probably think that Seanbaby is retroactively ripping off AVGN as well, LOL. There's no reasoning with them.

Here's a little tip, kid. Watch Spoony's first board game review. Then watch Board James' first board game review. Watch Spoony's SF2010 review. Now watch AVGN's SF2010 review. Watch Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin review. Now watch Board James' Mr. Bucket review. Finally, read Seanbaby's articles about Bible Games, Atari Porn, and Milon's Secret Castle, then watch the video versions of these on AVGN's site. Now come back here and tell me that AVGN isn't a plagiarizer himself.

Here are the allegations that the AVGN fanbrats keep avoiding: Watch Spoony's first board game review. Then watch Board James' first board game review. Watch Spoony's SF2010 review. Now watch AVGN's SF2010 review. Watch Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin review. Now watch Board James' Mr. Bucket review. Finally, read Seanbaby's articles about Bible Games, Nighttrap, Atari Porn, and Milon's Secret Castle, then watch the video versions of these on AVGN's site.

Furthermore, the Game Heroes site has the "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" video up first before AVGN's "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties". Oh, and guess what? Out of all the possible scenarios, AVGN chose the same path that GH took in their PDWT video. AVGN also ripped off PlayItBogart for his Rambo review too (word for word, even) as well as IG's and Pat the NES Punk's respective ROB reviews. Penn and Teller as well as IGSRJ weren't spared either. Look it up.

Here's evidence that AVGN, by the fanbrat's arguments, is a plagiarist: v=FhO8gDq9gI0, v=ZXl33w5T8Nw, v=B002EBIwvFc, v=909zpNR217k, v=SkhwjYT7hr0, v=IDM7xSNy0CU, and v=iwnLbFW8-5c. Also, evidence that AVGN and Screwattack wants to avoid any mention of his obvious ripping off of other people in acts of guiltiness: v=-pgCwvFxs0Q, v=A8vh3Zg20zM, and v=f4uggjqFUKs. Finally, here's the person whom AVGN ripped off from for his NES Rambo review: v=pzxqhuwq9_g.

Seanbaby says in his Super Pitfall review: "Super Pitfall. This still stands as probably the grossest misuse of the word "Super" in the history of the English language." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/w20-18(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his NES X-Men review: "I always wondered why companies even bothered to get a license for comic books and movies when they're just going to make a crappy game that has nothing to do with them anyway." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/w20-03(dot)htm

Seanbaby talks about how crappy the X-Men's powers are. He also makes fun of what the enemies look like, what the blocky reused X-Men sprites look like, how undefined their bodies are, and how much the graphics suck overall. Guess what AVGN does? AVGN is a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/w20-30(dot)htm

Seanbaby talks about how Wolverine looks like he's nudging things when he attacks and how he and other non-shooting X-Men waddle like ducks all throughout the game. He even takes note that Wolverine lacks claws. Guess what AVGN does? AVGN is a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/w20-03(dot)htm

Seanbaby talks about how the one-player game still requires the computer to join in on the fun and how useless the computer is. He even takes note that the best way to play Marvel's X-Men is to allow the computer player to die. Guess what AVGN does? AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/w20-03(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his NES X-Men review: "The computer controls one of them, but you can count on them either getting stuck in a corner or repeatedly running into the same enemy until they die. Needless to say, they're about as much help as Gilligan. You'll be happy when they're gone." Sounds familiar? AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/w20-18(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Legend of Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon Review: "The gameplay is almost as deep and engaging as flipping from one option to the next on a DVD menu." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm06(dot)htm

In AVGN's Wally Bear review, AVGN ripped off what Seanbaby said about how the birds and dogs are the enemies who try to kill Wally, and how you can't fight back against them. Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/wallybear(dot)htm

In AVGN's Wally Bear review, AVGN stole what Seanbaby said about Ricky Rat, and he also stole what Seanbaby said about Wally turning into a drug addict when the player loses. Yeah, AVGN's a hack. He even stole Seanbaby's reference to heroin addicts. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/wallybear(dot)htm

In AVGN's Wally Bear review, AVGN stole Seanbaby's criticism of Wally Bear taking characters out of fucked up situations. He even stole Seanbaby's observation that the game doesn't really keep kids off drugs. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/wallybear(dot)htm

In AVGN's Wally Bear review, AVGN complained that the eighties had plenty of anti-drug campaigns just like Seanbaby did. He also complained about the birds attacking Wally the same number of times that Seanbaby did (2). See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/wallybear(dot)htm

The Wally Bear controversy had caused AVGN to temporarily lock down comments on his Wally Bear and the NO gang review until the storm passed. Apparently, people started noticing that he ripped Seanbaby off, asked some questions, and he saw the need to cover his ass. Remember that AVGN gave zero credit to Seanbaby.

Seanbaby says in his Bible Games review: "They were all like Super Mario Brothers 2, except they had less action, more ridiculous goals, and inspirational Bible quotes." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/w20-19(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Bible Games Review: "Very few historians knew about Noah's superhuman strength. Here he is holding three farm animals above his head to get in shape." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/w20-19(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Bible Games Review: "Aside from the baby's lack of buoyancy, there's nothing fun about this game." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm19(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Bible Games Review: "Your only mission is to get him to the end of the level, but if you beat it without him your only reprimand is, GOOD WORK! BUT YOU FORGOT BABY MOSES!" Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm19(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Bible Games Review: "In Noah's Ark, you play the part of Noah hunting down and subdueing (sic) unwilling animals, usually by smashing a vegetable over their head." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm19(dot)htm

When Seanbaby did his 2000 Atari Porn overview, he noted that it was hard to tell what was what in Atari 2600 games, which is a criticism AVGN stole for his own Atari Porn review. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/atari2600(dot)htm

AVGN also stole what Seanbaby said in his 2000 Atari Porn review about how games came in leather casings and how they had to be kept away from children. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/atari2600(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Custer's Revenge Reviews (2004 and 2006): AVGN stole Seanbaby's reference to the Battle of Little Big Horn as well as what Seanbaby said about the Indian girl who was tied to the cactus. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm09(dot)htm and seanbaby(dot)com/nes/naughty03(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Custer's Revenge Reviews (2004 and 2006): AVGN also stole what Seanbaby said about it being sex against a cactus and in the rain of arrows. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm09(dot)htm and seanbaby(dot)com/nes/naughty03(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Custer's Revenge Reviews (2004 and 2006): Like Seanbaby, AVGN alleged what was happening was rape instead of consensual sex, even though both parties were smiling, which means AVGN stole that tidbit from Seanbaby as well. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm09(dot)htm and seanbaby.com/nes/naughty03(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Custer's Revenge Reviews (2004 and 2006): AVGN stole from Seanbaby the criticism about the arrows and how easy and fucked up it is to get hit by them even though they don't come all the way down to the screen. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm09(dot)htm and seanbaby.com/nes/naughty03(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Custer's Revenge Reviews (2004 and 2006): AVGN stole from Seanbaby the observation about Custer being naked except for his hat, boot, and gay scarf ("ascot") and Seanbaby's "scoring" joke as well. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm09(dot)htm and seanbaby.com/nes/naughty03(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em Review: AVGN stole the gag about "potential doctors and lawyers" and how nonsensical it was. He also stole the reference to the antagonist's huge manhood. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/naughty04(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Gigolo Review: AVGN stole Seanbaby's criticism about going into random houses and doing random guys. He also stole Seanbaby's criticism of how awkward that was. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/naughty06(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Gigolo Review: AVGN stole what Seanbaby said about people from random houses who kick you out and call the cops. AVGN even ended up calling the girl a prostitute, just like Seanbaby did. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/naughty06(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Knight in the Town: Seanbaby's rescue the damsel in distress reference was also stolen by AVGN. He also stole Seanbaby's complaint about the things on their heads, how the bridge is built, and how the characters do it right on the tower. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/atari2600(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Burning Desire Review: AVGN stole the Jungle Fever is to Bachelorette Party as Burning Desire is to Bachelor Party material from Seanbaby's Burning Desire review. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/naughty08(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Burning Desire Review: AVGN stole what Seanbaby said about enemies being cannibals even though there was no way of him knowing that save for plagiarizing Seanbaby. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/naughty08(dot)htm

Seanbaby's Burning Desire Review: AVGN also stole Seanbaby's references to putting out the fires, the intermission animation, hanging naked from a helicopter, and so on. AVGN said things Seanbaby said and added nothing; in fact, he added less. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/naughty08(dot)htm

AVGN called the hero of Bachelor Party a "stud" while called the heroine of Bachelorette Party a "whore"; I guess AVGN is sexist, huh?

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "Sunday Funday was a game based on getting to Sunday School on time. I wish I was kidding." Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "In fact, you get so little help from God that old women are trying to kill you, and moles come up from the sewer to throw dynamite at you." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "I don't know about everyone else, but if I was on my way to church and animals were popping out of manholes and trying to kill me with explosives, I'd take that as a sign. Someone seriously doesn't want me at that church." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "This isn't a graphics error. If you're standing near a grenade or an exploding peach on your way to church, you get blown the hell into rectangle chunks." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "Instead, your inspiration comes from your Sunday School Teacher popping up between levels and bitching at you." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "When America showed their good taste by not buying Menace Beach or any other Color Dreams games, Color Dreams found God. They renamed themselves Wisdom Tree, changed the name of Menace Beach to Sunday Funday, made the changes mentioned above on their lunch break, and re-released the thing in 1994..." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "Sunday Funday was retooled from a game that came out four years earlier called Menace Beach (by Color Dreams). Aside from a few graphics changes, the games are exactly the same." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "And as abusurdly boring and frustrating as the games are, you'll beat Menace Beach just to see how much of your girlfriend's clothes actually come off." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "A little boy is headed towards the church! We've got to stop him! Call the kids in hot pants! Call the plumbers union! Call your deformed aunt! And tell her to wear her pearls! We'll show this kid that no one visits a church in our town." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "The Menace Beach enemies aren't what you'd call inspired, but at least they're occupations that are known to fight. Sumo wrestlers and ninjas attack people for a living. And everyone wants to hit people in white leisure suits." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "Sure, Menace Beach was a piece of shit, but Sunday Funday was a piece of shit that someone put in your mouth." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "They just changed some of the enemies to fit the new church-theme. Like the ninjas, common in Menace Beach, but rare to see outside a church, became little boys with no pants on." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "The other "game" included with Sunday Funday was a karaoke song by a band called 4Him. Guess what kind of music they make." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "It also had two bonus games included with it. One of them was called Fish Fall, and your job was to catch falling fish with a big hand and throw them into a flying basket. If you like the electronic tests your eye doctor gives you, you might like it. Sort of like pong, only with a religious theme -- fish." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "Menace Beach: The Amazing Melting Clothes. As you go through, she calls you every G-rated name she can think of. Geek and Dog Breath are pretty insulting, but I'd expect more of a potty mouth from a naked chick chained to a wall."

Seanbaby says in his Sunday Funday Review: "A little boy is headed towards the church! We've got to stop him! Call the kids in hot pants! Call the plumbers union! Call your deformed aunt! And tell her to wear her pearls! We'll show this kid that no one visits a church in our town." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/basedoncrap02(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Night Trap Review: "This was a criminal attempt at making an interactive movie... The gameplay was a test of your blind luck where you randomly switched between the eight cameras in the house hoping there was something to do or watch." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm12.htm

Seanbaby says in his Night Trap Review: "But I do appreciate whoever decided games needed more sluts romping in their nighties (below)." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm12(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Night Trap Review: "Rooms had either teenage girls reciting painful dialogue to each other, lumbering vampires dressed like ninjas, or if you were really lucky, a pile of luggage not trying to act." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm12(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Night Trap Review: "Most of the "traps" were just a smoke machine going off and a hole opening up in a wall, and in order for them to work, the victim had to actually decide to walk into them." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm12(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Night Trap Review: "That's pretty hard to count on until you realize that in the next room, the girls have started taking turns lip synching the theme song to Night Trap." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm12(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Night Trap Review: "I don't know who was supposed to enjoy this "movie," but I can guarantee you that the game is a lot better when you switch to the driveway security camera to watch the parked cars." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/egm12(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Milon's Secret Castle Review: "Before you can get the feather, you have to go through hundreds of hours of non-intuitive puzzle solving, bubble-blowing excitement, and this... thing." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/useless(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Milon's Secret Castle Review: "Especially with a bottle of bubbles that can blow a hole in a wall." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/useless(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Milon's Secret Castle Review: "Apart from the deaf retarded kid killing monsters with soap bubbles, this game was starting to get a little too realistic." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/useless(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Milon's Secret Castle Review: "To get it all you have to do is go to a different level, wander for hours until you find a shop, and buy it for $35." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/useless(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Milon's Secret Castle Review: "Business was never great for him since finding his shop usually required irrationally pushing on unmarked blocks for a minute or two." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/helpful(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Milon's Secret Castle Review: "The tips are barely understandable and are rarely more than 3 words, but this may be because of the shopkeeper's years away from any type of social interaction." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/helpful(dot)htm

Seanbaby says in his Milon's Secret Castle Review: "However, when terminally bored children happened upon them, they were treated to one of the duck's dispensible hints like "FIND A SAW" or "THERE IS ONLY ONE MAHARITO." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: seanbaby(dot)com/nes/helpful(dot)htm

Proof that the Seanbaby articles predate AVGN's videos: Go to archive(dot)org and type in any of the Seanbaby URLs over there and you will see. So what now, AVGN fanboys?

Now I know why AVGN held a contest for other people to come up with lines for his Deadly Towers review. Not only is he creatively bankrupt, he instead wants to take lines from his fans instead of stealing them from Seanbaby's Deadly Towers article after seeing the shit IG got from being accused of plagiarism, LMAO. He's still creatively bankrupt, though.

Penn and Teller's Bullshit Show: P&T Bullshit started in 2003. "You Know What's Bullshit" started in 2007. Not only did the two shows have "bullshit" in the title, it also covers the same general topic. P&T/AVGN picks a subject to bitch about and gives reasons. Yep, AVGN is a hack. See: watch?v=FhO8gDq9gI0

In PlayItBogart's Rambo video, he says (referring to the first part of the game where Rambo is given the option to take the mission or not), "I mean, you never had a chance to say no before, but now you can! I mean, it's incredibly pointless, but hey! It's there." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: v=pzxqhuwq9_g.

In PlayItBogart's Rambo video, he says, "Wait a minute! Darkened caves! Lifebars! XP bar! Stabbing things! Flying disembodied skulls! Stupid side quests! Shit dropping out of trees and chasing me! I knew it! I'm playing Zelda II!" Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: v=pzxqhuwq9_g.

In PlayItBogart's Rambo video, he says, "Also of note in this cave, a giant spider that you're supposed to kill and a blatant example of taking the line between reality and fantasy and throwing up on it." He also rounds off pretty much the same complaints that AVGN will spout off on a later video. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. See: v=pzxqhuwq9_g.

In PlayItBogart's Rambo video, he demands to Acclaim why they ripped off Zelda II instead of Contra. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah, AVGN's a hack. Watching PlayItBogart show how Rambo ripped of Zelda II (even though Zelda was released sooner in America, Rambo still came out eleven months after Zelda II in Japan) comes with a double bonus of watching how the Nerd ripped off PlayItBogart. See: v=pzxqhuwq9_g.

Proof that PlayItBogart's Rambo video came before AVGN's: In the archived video, PlayItBogart talks about the fourth Rambo movie is coming out "in January". AVGN's Rambo review came out in January 2008 to coincide with the movie. LOL, what a hack.

Further proof that PlayItBogart's Rambo video came first: watch?v=OEEN6X3JG3E (original upload URL), archive(dot)org (search the original URL on archive.org to see the date it was uploaded), realwrestlecrap(dot)proboards(dot)com/index(dot)cgi?board=ot2008&action=display&thread=131668&page=1 (forum discussing Bogart's Rambo Review being first before AVGN's).

PlayItBogart Says: But yeah, did not like the AVGN's latest review, I only chuckled once at the six minute mark, and maybe one other time. A lot of my fanbase seemed to share my sentiments. But as I read the thread for it at ScrewAttack, I was a little shocked at how many people loved it.

PlayItBogart Says: Now I'm sure half of those were because they had suffered anguish at Bart vs. The Space Mutants and Bart vs. The World before, but I'm pretty sure the other half were just blind fanboys who love hearing "****, ****, dookey, dogshit, diarehhia, X is my ass and Y is my balls" over and over.

Even though the "Board James" segment of AVGN is strictly for board games, as soon as NC created that Teddy Ruxpin video, he was suddenly "inspired" to create the Mr. Bucket video even though it's not a board game. LOL, AVGN's a total hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, NC is terrorized by a nostalgic toy that speaks, and he gets into a fight with it wherein the crotch is placed on the toy's mouth, just like with AVGN's Mr. Bucket video. What a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, NC uses dark themes and shadows because his video was done for Halloween. In contrast, AVGN's video was released in the middle of May yet he still opted to use dark imagery. They both use lighting to maximum creepy effect as well. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, NC talks about how creepy Teddy Ruxpin is. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, he and his butt-buddy, Mike Matei, talk about how creepy the Mr. Bucket commercial is. Both videos use the "Later that Night" transition too. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, Teddy Ruxpin has the ability to teleport to different places of the house at will. Well, guess what Mr. Bucket from AVGN's Mr. Bucket review can do? Yeah, AVGN's a total hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, Teddy Ruxpin takes a long time to get to NC's bed, which is the same thing the FEWDIO Horror video "Ninja Clown" (watch?v=P-SamlxVgnc) did (which was also taken from another video, "Ninja Cat" ?v=NbwpgyRUv5g). Then AVGN stole that idea. LOL, circle jerk of plagiarism.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, Teddy Ruxpin can speak by itself because NC is parodying its creepy tape recorded voice. Well, guess what AVGN's friend, Mike Matei, did to Mr. Bucket as well using his voice in the commercial? Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, Teddy Ruxpin starts speaking about horrible things you don't expect him to say. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, Mr. Bucket starts speaking about horrible things you don't expect him to say. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

Unlike Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video where Teddy Ruxpin has a reason for getting back at NC, AVGN's Mr. Bucket video had Mr. Bucket become a molester just because. FYI, a rip-off tends to eschew the story behind what he's ripping off, hence the lack of plot of AVGN's out-of-place Mr. Bucket review.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, there's a scene where the toy seemingly keeps on running even without the cassette tape that powers it. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, there's a scene where the toy seemingly keeps on running even without the batteries that powers it. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, Teddy Ruxpin chases down NC across his own home. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, Mr. Bucket chases "Board James" down his own home. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, NC awakens from his bed to find a self-aware toy out to do certain things to him that he doesn't want to happen. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, AVGN awakens from his bed to find a self-aware toy out to do certain things to him that he doesn't want to happen. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, NC talks to himself on the mirror about the weird things that are happening to the nostalgic toy he keeps around his house. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, "Board James" talks to Mike Matei about the weird things that are happening to the nostalgic toy he keeps around his house. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, there's a shot of Teddy Ruxpin emerging over a concealed surface. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, there's a shot of Mr. Bucket emerging over a concealed surface. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, Teddy Ruxpin has his mouth over NC's crotch. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket review, Mr. Bucket has his mouth over Mike Matei's crotch _and_ AVGN's crotch.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, there's a chase scene between him and the seemingly teleporting nostalgic toy. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, there's a chase scene between him and the seemingly teleporting nostalgic toy. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, there's use of tense music as he's being chased down by a seemingly possessed toy. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, there's use of tense music as he's being chased down by a seemingly possessed toy. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, Teddy Ruxpin sings the first lines of his most famous theme song with a twist. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, Mr. Bucket sings the first lines of his most famous commercial jingle with a twist. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, NC has a lame battle with a self-aware toy. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, AVGN has a lame battle with a self-aware toy. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

In the Nostalgia Critic's Teddy Ruxpin video, NC references shots made by famous horror movie directors for his Halloween video. In AVGN's Mr. Bucket video, AVGN references shots made by famous horror movie directors for a video that wasn't even released on Halloween. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

As soon as AVGN saw Spoony's board game reviews, what does he do? Yes, he created a new segment called "Board James" and, surprise, surprise, reviews the very same video Spoony did (Dragonstrike), pointing out the same things and issues all the while. What a hack.

AVGN should credit Spoony for giving him the idea to start "Board James" Without Spoony's Dragon Strike review and many other board game reviews, AVGN would've never had the idea to create yet another source of income for himself. Otherwise, he's totally ripping off Spoony.

Here's Spoony's Dragon Strike Review: spoonyexperiment(dot)com/2008/01/05/dragon-strike-board-game-review. Here's Spoony passive-aggressively chiding AVGN for ripping him off: spoonyexperiment(dot)com/2009/05/11/this-looks-kind-of-familiar. Enough said.

spoonyexperiment(dot)com/2008/01/05/dragon-strike-board-game-review: Date: January 5, 2008; cinemassacre(dot)com/2009/05/27/board-james-2-dragonstrike Date: May 27, 2009; LOL, fail.

AVGN's Dragonstrike is basically a summarized version of Spoony's Dragonstrike review. In the Dragonstrike video, "Board James" compares the board game to Dungeons and Dragons, out of all the possible comparisons. Guess what Spoony does in his Dragonstrike video? Yep, AVGN is a hack.

In Spoony's Street Fighter 2010 review (June 25, 2009), he talks about the (at-the-time) nearing year of 2010 and he bitches sarcastically about "Ken" and how SF2010 is nothing like the SF series. In AVGN's Street Fighter 2010 (January 6, 2010), he talks about the (at-the-time) new year of 2010 and he bitches sarcastically about "Ken" and how SF2010 is nothing like the SF series. Yes, AVGN is a hack.

Game Heroes released their "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" video before AVGN did, and what do you know--out of all the possible scenarios (which includes following characters that are way different from what you started with), AVGN chose the same scenarios Game Heroes used in their own video. What a hack.

Did you know that AVGN ripped off Gamecritic's Winter Games review ending? Gamecritic already took it down but he destroyed the game in the exact same fashion as AVGN a few months before AVGN's review came out. Additionally, AVGN's Terminator review rips off IGSRJ's Terminator 2 review which also came out earlier. Also, AVGN ripped off this Holiday Review video of IGSRJ video as well with his X-men review: watch?v=MANoptRTQyg

Here's another one AVGN stole, this time from IGSRJ: watch?v=PnwjCC4tQtc. IGSRJ's Moonwalker review: September 6, 2008. AVGN's stolen Moonwalker review: January 7, 2009. A lot of verbatim criticisms here; yep, AVGN is a hack. :)

AVGN's video about Christmas 2010 (v=iMINBv_Dqvs) doesn't only rip off the old Grinch cartoon and isn't only filled with Matei's puke-inducing drawings, it also contains a Fist of the North Star review that exposes AVGN's lack of research skills ("Duh, is there a fist in the star? Herp derp!") and creativity (seanbaby(dot)com/nes/w20-10.htm). What a hack.

AVGN fanbrats don't respond to these accusations and the argument for IG not plagiarizing anything because they have no solid proof that can be used in a court of law. Whatsoever. It's like saying that everyone plagiarized Rick James and Dave Chappelle for saying "I'm Rick James, bitch!" LOL, they should sue, as does AVGN!

With geniuses like you, no wonder IG has gained so many subscribers in two years. They take one look at an AVGN fanbrat and say to themselves, "Fuck that shit." LMAO. Read Seanbaby's articles about Bible Games, Night Trap, Atari Porn, and Milon's Secret Castle, then watch the video versions of these on AVGN's site. Hypocrisy in action.

Look at the AVGN video "Lester the Unlikely" when the system explodes. Now does that look familiar? It looks like IGN's Mission Impossible review where the NES explodes. Tsk, tsk. No more creative juices from AVGN, apparently.

I love how people complain about IG having an AHA parody in the end of his I Rate the 80s series, claiming it to be plagiarism, yet they seemingly forget AVGN putting up the entire commercial of Mr. Bucket in his own Board James video without the excuse of parody.

Besides which, AVGN's most viewed video isn't even a video he created; it's his top ten Jackie Chan stunts where he uses copious amounts of footage that's not his that gained him his most viewed video. You fail. :D

Surprise, surprise. Right after IG made an IG NEO video about Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, AVGN comes up with this video: cinemassacre(dot)com/2010/11/17/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-first-few-levels/. Oh, and guess what? He sucks at it. What a hack.

Surprise, surprise. After IG made ROB reviews back in May and June 2008, AVGN makes a ROB review in March 2011, and they all feature angry reviewers getting frustrated with the slowness of ROB, a discussion of the Video Game Crash of 1983, ROB turning evil, and a fight between man versus toy in the end using various special effects. LOL, AVGN is a hack. See: watch?v=o61VEG1nHKQ and watch?v=ng1VUzfnIaA

Surprise, surprise. In IG's ROB review (Jun 2008), he uses a reflective surface to destroy ROB by deflecting his own eye beams towards him. In AVGN's ROB review (Mar 2011), AVGN uses the reflective surface of the U-Force NES accessory to destroy ROB by deflecting his own eye beams towards him. Yeah, AVGN is a hack. See: watch?v=o61VEG1nHKQ and watch?v=ng1VUzfnIaA

Surprise, surprise. In AVGN's 2011 ROB review, AVGN impatiently looks at how slow ROB moves, ROB throws things at him, and they get into a punching fight. In IG's 2008 ROB reviews, IG impatiently looks at how slow ROB moves, ROB throws things at him, and they get into a punching fight.Yeah, AVGN is a hack. See: watch?v=o61VEG1nHKQ and watch?v=ng1VUzfnIaA

Surprise, surprise. In AVGN's ROB review, AVGN talks about how the mechanics of ROB's game, specifically things like how the controls work, how in Stackup you can press start even if you haven't finished, and so forth. In IG's ROB reviews, he talks about how the mechanics of ROB's game, specifically things like how the controls work, how in Stackup you can press start even if you haven't finished, and so forth.Yeah, AVGN is a hack.

Surprise, surprise. In Pat the NES Punk's Gyromite Review (Dec 2008), he complains about the difference between the name of the game and the box title and ROB uses his robotic hands to harm Pat. In AVGN's ROB review (Mar 2011), he complains about the difference between the name of the game and the box title and ROB uses his robotic hands to harm AVGN. Yes, AVGN is a hack. See: watch?v=RC8Dn-dUv10

Surprise, surprise. In Pat the NES Punk's Gyromite Review (Dec 2008), he talks about how the Smicks will chomp at radishes laid on the ground. In AVGN's ROB review (Mar 2011), he talks about how the Smicks will chomp at radishes laid on the ground. Yes, AVGN is a hack. See: watch?v=RC8Dn-dUv10

Surprise, surprise. In Pat the NES Punk's Stack Up Review (Dec 2008), he complains about how the title of the game doesn't coincide with the title on the box. In AVGN's ROB review (Mar 2011), he complains about how the title of the game doesn't coincide with the title on the box. Yes, AVGN is a hack. See: watch?v=qv2MY_K-uTM

Surprise, surprise. In Pat the NES Punk's Rush N' Attack Review (May 2009), ROB plots his revenge against Pat. In AVGN's ROB review (Mar 2011), ROB plots his revenge against AVGN. Yes, AVGN is a hack. See: watch?v=ebXMneJZ6xg and watch?v=a_EgcFj_xqE

Surprise, surprise. AVGN's 100th episode also bears a resemblance to the "Awesome Video Games" ROB (Sep 2007) episode being a predictable fight sequence and all around terrible acting for fifteen minutes. Anyway you look at it, it's another bad AVGN episode that panders to viewers (fanboys) instead of having anything relevant to say or do. See: v=Gy5IKp1cKmI, v=d_TBqEZYZck, v=b2llscEhnzU, v=uDMfqviAlIc, and v=etgk-kIOe44

Surprise, surprise. As soon as IG made his "The Making of History of Video Games Documentary review" (before that, he made a video documenting how he made his IG videos), AVGN's 102nd episode is about... guess what?... the Making of an AVGN Episode featuring Barbie as an example. AVGN's a total hack.

Did AVGN's preview feature a reflective surface to destroy ROB by deflecting his own eye beams towards him? How about AVGN impatiently looks at how slow ROB moves, ROB throws things at him, and they get into a punching fight? How about getting frustrated with the slowness of ROB, a discussion of the Video Game Crash of 1983, ROB turning evil, and a fight between man versus toy in the end using various special effects? No? Then your point is invalid.

Here's evidence that AVGN and Mike Matei watch Awesome Video Games and why the 100th episode looks like a summary of AVG's ROB review: watch?v=K4yj2YyZROg (Skip to 1:16) LOL, what now, AVGN fanboys? :D

In IGSRJ's Moonwalker review, he passive-aggressively talks about Michael Jackson's pedophilia and the fact that in the video game, Michael uses fairy or pixie dust on enemies as his attack. Guess what AVGN does in his review? Yeah, AVGN is a hack.

In IGSRJ's Moonwalker review, he talks about Michael Jackson's other special moves, how weird they are, how they drain a lot of your energy, and how worthless some of them are (e.g., the "testicle squeeze"). Guess what AVGN does in his review? Yeah, AVGN is a hack.

In IGSRJ's Moonwalker review, he talks about the game's penchant for animal abuse ("Don't let PETA see this game"). He even takes note that Michael can even make the dogs dance with his special move. Guess what AVGN does in his review? Yeah, AVGN is a hack.

In IGSRJ's Moonwalker review, he talks about how necessary it is to find all the kids and how hard it is to miss one kid. He also talks about the fact that you can lose power when you touch the boss. Guess what AVGN does in his review? Yeah, AVGN is a hack.

In IGSRJ's Moonwalker review, he notices that Thriller isn't playing on the third stage. He also cannot finish the third level boss and complains about the sheer amount of zombies in the game. Guess what AVGN does in his review? Yeah, AVGN is a hack.

In IGSRJ's Moonwalker review, he opts to do a skit using special effects parodying the game instead of finishing the game. Guess what AVGN does in his review? Yeah, AVGN is a hack.

AVGN said in his Schwarzenegger Games review: "Did anyone test this shitty game before they made it?" Doesn't that sound familiar? Yeah, AVGN is a hack. :D

If by "bad" you mean lack of animal poop jokes, forced references to American Movie, shoehorned horror movie references, forced comparisons to Simon's Quest, more animal poop jokes, an obsession with zoophilia and coprophilia, and mugging for the camera, then I guess your own tastes speak for themselves. :D

The Nostalgia Critic Teddy Ruxpin review was about a year old before Mr. Bucket came out. Both Game Heroes' Plumbers Don't Wear Ties review and PlayItBogart's Rambo review were released earlier as well. Seanbaby has been here since the late nineties. IG did the Indiana Jones review before AVGN did too.

AVGN _Nazis_ are called as such because there's no compromising with them. Luckily, thanks to their continuous support, they've brought about 140,000+ subscribers for IG while making fools of themselves. Even if they realize the idiocy of their ways, they'll still patronize these videos. We should thank them for their retard logic that "Hurr durr, I hate Chris Bores, so I'm going to watch more of his videos, hurr durr."

IG Haters are called Nazis because there's no compromising with them. Luckily, thanks to their continuous support, they've brought about 140,000+ subscribers for IG while making fools of themselves. Even if they realize the idiocy of their ways, they'll still patronize these videos. We should thank them for their retard logic that "Hurr durr, I hate Chris Bores, so I'm going to watch more of his videos, hurr durr."

The bigger question is why you keep coming back to watch. IG's fans LOVE these videos and similar topics and you just can't stand it. What is the point of you watching something you hate? IG will NEVER quit if morons like you keep coming back to watch and his fans continue to enjoy these videos in the THOUSANDS. Idiot much?

So a personal attack is 'just sharing how you feel'? I know the support is from haters. The haters are these videos intended audience. Through their 'support', they enabled IG to monetize his channel. That's the irony. Their collective abuse has enabled IG to earn ad revenue from his videos... pretty much what he set out to achieve with every video he makes.

Then don't watch his videos. He reviews a variety of games and does a better job than the people before him 90% of the time. Who cares if what he does has already been done? Most things have. It doesn't really matter. He has the balls to help call out the BS of a multitude of games. He doesn't take any type of BS, so of course he'll block the most ardent of IG hater spammers. :D

If more than one person plays the same game, they'll probably come up with the same reasons as to why it's hard. The hard parts about Battletoads were the speed bike levels and the co-op. Everybody would agree to that. Besides, the games AVGN reviews are old. Is AVGN stealing from all the people who reviewed those games years and years before him? Seriously.

Think about it almost all the games have been reviewed and no where does it say that Chris can't review a game that James also has reviewed. If Chris is happy with what he does then glad he is happy. If you are pissed that he reviewed something that James did then it's your problem.

AVGN isn't the only one that can talk about games. Where's your logic exactly, sir? :D

IG is as much of a hack to AVGN as Pepsi is to Coke... but for some reason, no one complains about Pepsi. LOL, IG haters don't make sense. :D Is it because with enough examination, they aren't similar? :D

Here's Asalieri's take on AVGN: v=YRurvs4h1Ng. You'll notice that it's been taken down. Yeah, fanboys were so butthurt that they took it down and flagged it as hate speech, LMAO.

Also, here's Asalieri's full take on AVGN: v=W5WAjXypPgQ and v=O3kTFVJdt4k. LOL, even Asalieri--a well-known detractor of IG--is sick and tired of James' bullshit. QQ some more, AVGN fantards! LMAO.

Asalieri, a well-known detractor of IG, says, "AVGN is just stale and unwatchable, really. I stopped watching a long while back."

Asalieri, a well-known detractor of IG, says, "People don't seem to like what I had to say about the AVGN and TGWTG. So it seems they only like it when I make fun of people they HATE, but ooooooh don't dare touch the people they LIKE, why... that would be FAIR!"

Asalieri, a well-known detractor of IG, says, "I can't believe i'm going to say this, but... Irate Gamer's Rob the robot review was infinitely better than AVGN's. There is no god." He also made this video: watch?v=soCM2JXw500

According to AVGN's suckass, unfunny video (v=iMINBv_Dqvs), Battletoads is a bad game. Nerd cred flushed down the toilet in one go.

Proof that AVGN has jumped the shark again (i.e., the AVGN Christmas Clipshow: gametrailers(dot)com/video/angry-video-screwattack/708189. What a lazy, creatively bankrupt hack.

This is you, pleasuring AVGN: v=rYm7xazvIbc and v=nenOJgiNUUQ.

AVGN is a self-centered, egotistical, and butthurt crybaby: v=wjP1imIIdFI

This is what AVGN thinks of the AVGN fanbrats: v=lt0meMo1enY. LOL, I guess your own idol hates you, huh?

Time to file your report: imagemacros(dot)files(dot)wordpress(dot)com/2009/09/butthurt_report_form(dot)jpg

This is AVGN being a sellout: watch?v=43fTu7j8PNY (the one on the JamesNintendoNerd channel, watch?v=0aEEPp3G58Y, has been marked as private after people kept calling him a sellout, LOL).

AVGN is a bigger sellout than the haters think IG is because he has Gametrailers, Screwattack, YouTube, Cinemassacre, and a host of other gigs and merchandise aiding him with his revenue. It's no wonder AVGN sucks nowadays. It's because he's a sellout. :D

I watch a lot of Angry Reviewers. I used to read Seanbaby's articles back in the days when retro gaming fanboyism wasn't so rampant. I visited Something Awful when it was still funny. I watched NC before Channel Awesome came to fruition. I watch Zero Punctuation, Spoony circa 2008 (when his ego wasn't so large), Asalieri, and Classic Gaming Room. I also watch TV and movies, but that's not pertinent to the conversation. Trust me, AVGN is no worse than IG and vice-versa.

I've said this before, and I'll say this again. Angry reviewers are all the same to me, whether it's AVGN, IG, Game Dude, Pissed Off Gamer, Spoony, Armake21, Yahtzee, Jedite1 or whoever. There's nothing new about them. If there comes a time when angry reviewing is actually ruining the reputation of gamers instead of improving them (and it's already happening), then maybe it's about time to pull the plug.

Fair Use, a limitation and exception to the exclusive right granted by copyright law to the author of a creative work, is a doctrine in United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders. He isn't stealing, and doesn't have to credit you. Like you're the only one on Youtube who's footage has been borrowed for someone else's video. Please.

The idea of "uniqueness" is a dream, as much as Christianity or believing ghosts is. Everyone borrows. Always.
Can't get away from it. Nothing is new under the sun.

To the people saying that he rips off AVGN:
1: Unsubscribe if you don't like him.
2: So only 1 guy in the world can review retro games now?
3: They may have begun to be very similar but Irate and AVGN are completely different now. Irate has taken on a new style and also reviews new games. The 'He's an AVGN rip-off' thing is way too old now.

Actually, the reason why the AVGN doesn't have any ad sense commercials is because he never became a youtube partner in the first place. Granted, he could still get ad sense enabled on his YouTube, but he already has a few websites with ad sense already on them. IG is a YouTube partner because when he made his first videos, many people flocked to them posting millions of comments, and making videos about his first videos, which made them more popular.

80% of you were likely still in diapers, when the bulk of these old school games came out, call it a hack, a copyright infringement or whatever you want. Just enjoy the videos, and quit your bitching.

The only two games that IG reviewed that AVGN also reviewed were Back to the Future and TMNT. Only the BTTF one was similar; the TMNT ones have very little in common. In either case, they weren't "exact copies". I didn't even notice the similarities (which are very slight) until after I saw you guys spitting shit about IG being a "hack".

Reality check, in 2010, AVGN himself has to acknowledge the people who are saying that he's losing interest in the Nerd and the quality of his videos are going down. Straight from the horse's mouth, if you will. Meanwhile, Seanbaby has a gig and steady fanbase at Cracked(dot)com and Yahtzee is EVEN MORE FAMOUS than AVGN such that people say that AVGN is a Yahtzee ripoff. Fancy that.

A quick look at alexa(dot)com/siteinfo/escapistmagazine(dot)com (Yahtzee's site; Alexa Rank: 4,206) and alexa(dot)com/siteinfo/cinemassacre(dot)com (AVGN's site; Alexa Rank: 10,829) proves that Yahtzee's site is a lot more popular than AVGN. LOL, owned.

Proof that IG is getting more subscribers because the haters are idiots: bit(dot)ly/lFbAa0

AVGN Research Errors

AVGN seems to think LJN developed all the games they've published, when they were mostly handed to external developers. Even his Castlevania retrospective wasn't that well-researched.

Here's proof that AVGN lies: v=Vra6gtIaLN8. What do you know? Simon's Quest is a good game! He just sucks at it.

Just because some people don't like a game _because they have no idea how to play it_, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad game. In all honesty, if AVGN weren't around, would you give a shit about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

In his Top Gun review, the Nerd makes a number of errors. He claims the game has no music. It does. He claims it doesn't matter what type of missiles you take, except for the amount. It does. You face larger enemies who don't die in one hit.

In his Home Alone 2 review, AVGN complained that THQ ripped off sound effects from Bart vs. The Space Mutants, a game published by Acclaim. However both games were actually developed by a group called Imagineering that did contractual work for both, Acclaim and THQ, as well as other companies.

In the Terminator episode, the Nerd asserts that the games based on the second film are supposed to be better due to the fact that they came out later. In truth, the games based on the original film actually came out after the ones based on the sequel were released and were published by a different company (LJN published the T2 games, while Mindscape did the ones based on the original movie).

On his review of the Gameboy Terminator 2, AVGN messed up in saying you're John Conner in the future taking down generators (from highest to lowest). In the first level of the game, you play as Sarah Connor, not John Connor.

The Nerd also asserts that only one title (the Sega CD version of Terminator) features the Terminator theme, when in fact Terminator for the Genesis (by Virgin Games) also uses the theme during the opening and ending. Why the Nerd didn't even mention the Genesis version is still a mystery.

In the Transformers episode, the Nerd shows a set of NES games that had Japanese releases for its Famicom counterpart. However, almost all of the Famicom cartridges he shows on-screen (with the exception of Super Mario Bros 3) are unlicensed bootlegs and some of the games he shows (namely Last Action Hero and Jungle Book) never actually got official Japanese releases.

AVGN also mentions that Convoy no Nazo doesn't have the music from the series, with the exception of the Autobot/Decepticon transition. However, the game's title theme is taken from the opening of Transformers 2010, the Japanese version of Generation 1's third season. He also doesn't seem to know the Final Boss is Trypticon, the Decepticons' main base and largest member.

While Castlevania for the N64 has its share of flaws, AVGN's major complaint which he even called a fatal flaw was in fact his own inability to figure out the game has an interact button (which is odd considering he got that far in the game). In the same episode, he mixes up the story of Dawn of Sorrow with that of Aria of Sorrow.

In AVGN's demonstration of the weird cover art given to Dawn, he neglects to mention that was actually a budget-priced reissue of the game; the original release has a standard cover. He also got the part about how every modern Castlevania game takes place in Dracula's Castle wrong. What's more, Dawn of Sorrow, the game he was using as an example, is the only game in the entire series where Dracula's Castle does not appear at all.

The Nerd claims in his McKids review that Cool Spot is 7-11's mascot, but it's actually 7-Up. Say what you will about the video, but at the very least IG knows whose mascot Cool Spot is (LOL, AVGN says that Cool Spot is 7-11's mascot; what a moron!).

Obviously, AVGN also made a mistake in thinking that McKids was unwinnable, as the game can be completed by picking up a block which lets you cross the lava earlier in the level.

Here's proof that AVGN relies on GameFAQs and Wikipedia for his research (check out the end credits): watch?v=OEVzPCY2T-g. LOL, what a hack!

In his review of Batman: Revenge of the Joker during the second part of the Batman episode, the Nerd fails to get past the shooting gargoyles at the beginning of the first level, even though he could have used the kick button after having tried every possible option. The worst of it is that he did kick a seemingly harmless gargoyle statue to pieces moments earlier.

Despite AVGN's claims, it is possible to shoot straight in front in the staircase level of Ghostbusters for Sega Master System. Apparently he didn't think about trying Button 2.

In AVGN's Dick Tracy review, he complained that picking up hearts didn't do anything, but you can select it from a menu and use them. He later revised his review to acknowledge this, in which he added how stupid using the item was (you have to hold select and press B on the item BEFORE the one you use).

I have Dick Tracy for the NES, and the AVGN made it seem a lot harder than it actually is. The one thing I always do, before started any case, is drive around the city and kill all the snipers. Then they're no longer an issue.

AVGN made a couple of mistakes regarding the Cowardly Lion in his Wizard of Oz review. He claims that the Lion is the only character besides Dorothy who is capable of shooting objects, whereas it is shown that the Scarecrow and the Tin Man can shoot objects, too; and then he claims that the Lion never comes back after dying only once, which may imply that he didn't know how to find extra lives for the Lion, let alone the other characters.

In his review of Metal Gear for the NES, the Nerd complains that picking "continue" after a game over always takes the player back to the very start of the game. This is not entirely true, since the restart point is determined by the player's current rank, which can be increased by rescuing hostages.

While it's true that picking continue with only a single star rank does take the player back to the very beginning, having a two stars rank will restart inside the southern entrance of Building 1, a three stars rank restarts inside the east elevator of Building 1, and so forth. The passwords in the game, which the Nerd claims is the only method of starting at later areas, merely keeps track of the player's rank and by proxy their starting point.

In his review of Rocky for the Master System, the Nerd complains that the training sessions before each match cannot be skipped, which is not the case at all. To skip them, the player must simply hold D-pad in any direction and press either button when the instructions are shown.

Additionally, completing the Rocky training sections actually gives the player extra abilities that help make the matches easier to win. Although the Nerd does acknowledge that completing these training sections is "supposed to make (him) stronger", the Nerd fails to complete them anyway and then he acts surprised when he loses against Clubber Lang.

His review of Star Trek briefly mentioned that one of the game's levels was based around the episode "A Piece of the Action". However, he thought it was about time travel, when in truth, it was the admittedly far weirder case of a race of aliens who based their entire civilization around "Chicago Mobs of the 1940s".

In Action52 review, he states that it's impossible to walk past the enemies in Slashers. It is actually possible to walk past them if you walk backwards when enemy appears and then walk forward. In Bits and Pieces he says that the main character has no means of attack. However, main character attacks by stomping on enemies. Might be because hitting an enemy and getting hit looks and sounds identical.

In his Milon's Secret Castle review, he notices a point where one cannot bypass by jumping, and must blast through the wall instead. Apparently he forgot about the springboards in the game (albeit you need the Spring Shoes to use the springboards).

In his Double Dragon III review, he claims that Chin is the most useless character in the game. However, Chin's punching combo can defeat most enemies, including the third boss Ranzou, in five or six hits. Likewise, Billy and Jimmy's Cyclone Kick is not that hard to perform (do a neutral jump and then press either button).

In his Cinemassacre review for Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, AVGN said that Conan O'Brien was one of The Groundlings, and that the short film Vincent, was what introduced Paul Reubens to the work of Tim Burton. In actuality, O'Brien was NOT a member of The Groundlings, and it was Frankenweenie that introduced Reubens to Burton's work.

In Part 2 of his Bible Games Christmas special, the Nerd answers a multiple-choice quiz regarding the Pharaoh's order against the Hebrews. The Nerd insists that his answer Kill all babies is the right one. In the Bible, the Pharaoh ordered the massacre of male Hebrew babies only (which is the game's correct answer), which triggered the baby-in-the-basket escape plan for the infant Moses.

Hydlide was criticized unfairly by AVGN because he's not aware of the history of the game or the fact that it was a cult classic in Japan. He even compares it to Legend of Zelda, although Hydlide arrived earlier than Zelda and is arguably a predecessor to it (it took five years for Hydlide to reach North America). It's like comparing Final Fantasy to its sequels and saying that it sucks because it's not as developed as the sequels (an obvious fallacy).

AVGN, the same guy who'll tell you graphics don't make a game and then tell you the graphics suck, says that Hydlide (which came before Zelda) sucks because of its graphics although it pioneered the things Zelda would use later on.

The beginning of this review shows just why AVGN dropped the ball when it came to reviewing Hydlide (which is ironic, considering that he usually gives a lot of leeway to older games when reviewing Atari classics): v=mcc4OeBlCL4

In the 32X review, when he complained that not all three of the AC adapters could not fit onto one power strip, he simply could've plugged one of the AC adapters into the wall, then put the power strip in, and there would be enough room for both adapters and the TV. It's not as practical, but it's easier. In that review, he also claimed you needed "metal prongs" (RF shielding) to put the 32X into a Model 1 Genesis. This was just to please the FCC, it works fine without them.

AVGN does skew facts. In his Atari 5200 review he skewed the "fact" that the trackball controller was broken when it actually wasn't. Watch the part when he is playing Super Breakout, he is just quickly moving the ball around to make it look like the paddle on screen is not working correctly, you can hear the scratching noise of the ball when he does it.

In his review of Zelda II, AVGN alleges that a stage in the first Zelda game is a swastika. It's not. It's called manji. A swastika is tilted, a manji isn't.

In his rehash review of Back to the Future, AVGN couldn't even solve the scrambled words found in Back to the Future II and III on the NES (i.e., the scrambled words are revolver and skateboard) and kept making unfunny guesses like "Root Beer Float". What a hack.

In his re-review of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, he claims that the villagers will always try to attack Dr. Jekyll. However, this only happens when they're running away from the mad bomber or when the player tries to hit one with Jekyll's cane.

In his re-review of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, AVGN is holding the controller such that he's not touching the D-pad. Knowing the nature of the game, wouldn't it be strange for AVGN to be holding the controller in such a way? It's as if he's not playing the game at all! (whoops...)

In his Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde re-review, the bombs won't hurt you if you just keep walking and don't jump or turn and you have to pay the singing lady coins to let you by. The manual does give a reason for each of the characters being angry, but mostly it's not personal, they are just crabby. Once you get the hang of the game it's not that bad, it is playable. AVGN's just being a moron.

AVGN makes many research mistakes as well and can't, for the life of him, finish games like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (because he doesn't know how to play it) and finds himself regularly getting his ass kicked in conventions like E3. Besides which, AVGN wasn't even holding the d-pad right when "playing" the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde game again. What a hack.

In his review of Lester the Unlikely, the AVGN says you can't carry a weapon and item at the same time, but that's a total lie (I managed to do both at the same time without any trouble).

This video shows that it appears that AVGN was trying to play the game as an action platformer when in fact it's a puzzle platformer. Also, it disproves the AVGN's statement that you can't pick weapon and an item at the same time. /watch?v=LfkfFh4iy-8

The AVGN's Lester the Unlikely review felt way too phoned-in. The game isn't that bad compared to some of the stuff he previously reviewed and most of the review he seems like he's just nitpicking instead of bringing up legitimate complaints. Did he seriously expect a game where you control a cowardly nerd to play just like Super Mario Bros.? Talk about missing the point of the game.

AVGN also expects that Lester to jump off cliffs that'd usually break someone's legs in real life. I doubt if he measured the height of the character with the area and height he had to jump, that the figures he came out with would be safe. He'd definitely take damage in real life trying stupid shit like that.

Even AVGN's obligatory shit joke felt more forced than usual and that's he forte. All he did was make a joke about how a hypothetical sequel to the game would be nothing more than a literal bag of shit, nothing really clever. It's kinda odd he didn't even make any animal jokes (not that the review would've been better with them), considering the game is set in a tropical jungle full of various animals. Did he finally run out of animals he would allegedly eat shit from?

You have to mention when AVGN froze the top of the screen in Winter Olympics and complained about "not being able to move". Don't forget his Glitch Gremlin. He doesn't seem to know the difference between a leprechaun and something made up from another continent.

Did you see the AVGN Lester the Unlikely video yet? No dumb comedy skit but I thought it was pretty awful. It didn't look all that bad to me. His general opinion of it seems to be "It's a puzzle platformer and I am going to hate it for being a puzzle platformer, why can't this puzzle platformer be more like Mario."

AVGN barely showed Lester the Unlikely game, and his typical vulgarity seemed forced. If he doesn't want to do these videos anymore, either stop doing them all together, or scale back to an episode every two months or so, because the effort put into this one was unquestionably lacking.

I think the problem is that basically, James Rolfe isn't really that much of a gamer. Sure, he might have grown up as one and he still has somewhat of an interest in it, but it seems to me that he doesn't really care enough about games anymore to make a compelling show out of them now that his childhood material has run dry.

Let's not forget the entire premise of the AVGN show is that this is a guy who has been tortured by these shitty games for his entire life. You can't really convey those emotions if you review games you got in the mail yesterday.

In James's abysmal E3 2010 videos for Screwattack, he was asking when did Diddy Kong have a jetpack, and then saying later that the last DK game he played was DK 64 (hint: Diddy got his jetpack in DK 64; AVGN must not have finished the first level of the game).

See: v=y-w36i1RbUc "Diddy Kong uses a jetpack. When does he actually use a fucking jetpack?" (1:55) "Now the last one I played was Donkey Kong 64. Oh yeah. No, it's not like that." (2:00) LOL, AVGN doesn't know what he's talking about.

Also, in James's abysmal E3 videos for Screwattack, he claims that the Resident Evil franchise is categorized as a first-person shooter series. Yeah, AVGN is a hack.

In the 32X review, when he complained that not all three of the AC adapters could not fit onto one power strip, he simply could've plugged one of the AC adapters into the wall, then put the power strip in, and there would be enough room for both adapters and the TV. It's not as practical, but it's easier. In that review, he also claimed you needed "metal prongs" (RF shielding) to put the 32X into a Model 1 Genesis. This was just to please the FCC, it works fine without them.

The AVGN's brief review of Fist of the North Star for the NES in the Christmas 2010 special was clearly done without the slightest bit of research of the original manga and anime it's based on as he is surprised and confused by the fact that the enemies and bosses explode when killed.

In IG's pong review, he didn't call off the wall pong "asshole pong" because IG actually did the research concerning what type of pong that was, while AVGN just made a stupid joke.

I find it funny how the nerd character thought that 1995 was the last time video games were made and one of the games he reviewed was Crazy Castle 5, which came out in 2003. AVGN must have been pissed when he found out that Mario takes damage after a long fall in Super Mario 64.

If AVGN is such a hardcore gamer as you say, then why is he incapable of finishing Ninja Gaiden even with cheats? Why did he have to finish Ninja Gaiden 2 with the help of his butt-buddy, Mike? Why does he need the help of Gamefaqs, Nintendo Power, and other cheat sheets to even finish a game? LOL, are you really this dumb?

Mike Matei writes: "In fact, back during the early episodes, I actually gave James all of my video games and systems (because he only had like an nes a genesis and a few games at the time, I'm talking 2006 here)." Yeah, AVGN is a poser, not a gamer.

Hey, did you know that AVGN uses Digital Juice on his videos? I mean, aside from his use of copyrighted music from video games, he also uses preset music from one of those companies that produces such things. What a hack.

The few times AVGN has reviewed a genuinely bad game is when he picks on an easy targets like Plumbers Wears Ties, Superman 64, Cheetahmen II, or any licensed movie cash-in that were obviously rushed for release.

He has bashed some decent NES games too, like Simon's Quest, Metal Gear, Milon's Secret Castle, and Double Dragon III, all because he found it too hard, too easy, or some other flaw which he blows out of proportions for the sake of "entertainment".

His Ninja Gaiden retrospective is mostly just him whining over the game's difficulty. Even the FAQ on his site claims he plays bad on purpose for the sake of "entertainment" (read: to make the game look worse than it is).

I'll also add that AVGN's been repeating himself nowadays. AVGN is rehashing his shtick by reusing his accidental win thing with the Power Glove on his Zelda II review, his Bible Games shtick where he mimes to the camera how much he likes a good game on his Nintendo Days revisited review, and his landing the plane thing on Top Gun (God, was the latest skit lame). This says to me that AVGN is running out of ideas and he's turning into a parody of his own self.

Lame AVGN moment: AVGN intentionally recording his fight with Dark Link and the ending of Zelda, then pretending to beat it with the Power Glove with prerecorded video. He has run out of ideas, and he's rehashing them like silly. No wonder AVGN fanbrats are acting so butthurt.

In regards to manipulating footage, wasn't it AVGN who made the plane go out of the screen in his Top Gun revisted review? He was also the guy who made a LOZ1 Link sprite throw fire at the LOZ2 Link. :D

AVGN kind of looks like Chris-chan in his video Dragon in my Dreams, LOL. What's more, he had people donate music to him, yet he ended up with something that sounds like Donna Lewis's "Stay"; what a hack.

The Glitch Gremlin was basically a leprechaun (LOL, quality research) without the green suit (why the accent?). And the "oh, the graphics get messed up sometimes" portion of his glitches review went on far too long. We get the idea, Nerd!

The most egregious mistake Mr. Rolfe has made is in his Atari Jaguar Part 1 Review. Rather it was several mistakes. First, he said that the console actually was 64 bits, *facepalm*. It had 2 32 bit processors, yes, but this does not equal a 64 bit processor, there are also channels which can transfer 64 different bits of data at a time, however this is NOT the same as 64-bit data, but rather 16-bit and 32-bit data working in parallel through the same channels.

Actual word sizes of 64-bits did not exist on the Jaguar. Therefore, it did not process in 64-bit increments, or perform microprocessor calculations involving 64 bits at a time, and was not a 64-bit processor of any kind. Second, he said that the number of bits is only a measure of graphics quality, which is wrong beyond words. The word size (aka bit count) affects several factors.

Also, he said that the reason many of its games were so bad was because it was hard to program for, which is beyond flawed. PS 2, Sega Saturn, and PS 3 are all notoriously difficult to program for, yet all had/have stellar games. The main reason for this was that developers tried to make 64 bit games for it, yet it was not actually a 64 bit console (as Mr. Rolfe failed to find out). Mind you, the difficulty in programming for it couldn't have helped, but it was not the reason.

In the Day Dreamin' Davey review, The Nerd repeatedly mixes up Ancient Greece with Ancient Rome. It should be quite obvious that it's Ancient Greece. Medusa, Mount Olympus, and Hades are all central elements to Greek culture.

In his first Bible Games episode, in his review of Bible Buffet, he claims it has nothing to do with the Bible and has impossible quizzes. The answers to the quizzes, which are Bible-related, are All There In The Manual, provided you have it.

In his review of all the Batman movies where he was nitpicking Batman Begins, he was confused why they need to put in Bruce's backstory, saying they already did it before in Batman (Tim Burton) and Batman Forever. It's as if he'd never seen a reboot before.

AVGN _always_ overstates. For example if you watch his early review of Simon's Quest, it sounds like one of the worst games ever. Actually it isn't that bad! AVGN just overstates the problems.

In the Kill Bill review for Spike, AVGN says that the music featured there was surf music; he's wrong, it's actually rockabilly music, not surf music.

In Part 1 of his Superman games review, he says that the NES Superman game doesn't have the Superman Theme, although the Japanese version does have that particular theme. Proof: watch?v=Du-qbloLWRc

In his first Bible Games episode, in his review of Bible Buffet, he claims it has nothing to do with the Bible and has impossible quizzes. The answers to the quizzes, which are Bible-related, are All There In The Manual, provided you have it. This may well not be the case if he got Bible Games second- or third-hand, or was playing it on an emulator. Either way, it demonstrates why you put the questions in the code instead of the manual, which can very easily become separated from it.

In AVGN's NES Cheetahmen II Review, he mistook the lifebar as diamonds instead of x's. Ergo, his "a half and two and a half" hitpoint joke is stupid and wrong. LOL, what a hack. :D

AVGN claims that the SNES Star Wars game is better than the Japanese version, when in fact the cartridge reads "Made in Japan" and JVC (Japan Victor Company), LOL. AVGN doesn't know what he's talking about. His complaints on the games are regular difficulty features and traps. His inability to conquer them proves he knows nothing about gaming.

AVGN complains that the Star Wars games aren't Super Mario Brothers. If you want to play SMB, Nerd, play SMB. Don't bitch about games that aren't supposed to be like SMB to lack SMB-like characteristics, LOL.

Stupid AVGN observation in the AVGN Star Wars videos: "Why do all these bosses have long lifebars?" Then a lame skit about lifebars. Looks like AVGN is herping and derping right there, LOL. Hey, AVGN, it's a boss. They're supposed to have long lifebars. You'd know that if you were a gamer. :D

In AVGN's Star Wars video, he "invented" a beat-a-game button; LOL, AVGN loves to cheat, and there's definitive proof in his stupid skit. :) As per usual, he's going, "The game's too hard, it must be the game's fault!" LMAO.

You heard it first on AVGN's Star Wars video: If the game's not easy, he won't like it. He even complains that the easy setting is not easy enough, LMAO. :D Like a total n00b, he abuses the spinning lightsaber move all the time. Let's face it: AVGN isn't a gamer. :)

AVGN's Star Wars game review has various audio problems on the NES Empire Strikes Back game part (around twenty-two minutes in). Also, he pronounces "Dagoba" wrong. So much for being professional, LOL.

AVGN saying that the Star Wars N64 game was better than the Atari one shows that he's a graphics whore who prefers easier gameplay to actual NES games that are fun because they are difficult. Yeah, AVGN is a hack.

AVGN's last skit on the Star Wars games where he invents game names and then a picture of a buffalo "shits" through his "window": Epitome of lameness. How sad. :)

In his Star Wars reviews and many other reviews, AVGN seems to think "fluent" (as in "I'm fluent in Spanish") is the same as "fluid" (as in "His movement was quite fluid"). They're not.

In AVGN's ROB review, he rehashes the "fight the toy using special effects" bit he has used in the end of his Super Mario Brothers 3 review and his Transformers review. Yeah, AVGN has officially run out of ideas. Even the music in the video was recycled. What a hack.

In AVGN's ROB review, he alleges that blocks can only be square, unaware that there is such a thing as rounded children's blocks. Yeah, he didn't do his research there. Proof: flickr(dot)com/photos/63815812@N00/3700134768/

AVGN himself cheats. He cheated on Wayne's World, the revisited Back to the Future, Rambo, Ikari Warriors, and Frankenstein. He even cheated on Ninja Gaiden too, but he still couldn't finish it because he sucks that badly with games. He also overuses Nintendo Power and online strategy guides a bit too much for someone who claims to be a nerd of video games.

For anyone wondering about Jurassic Park Interactive. What AVGN mostly focused on were the minigames Nedry set up. You know how Nedry has that little animation in the film, "Ah, ah ah, you didn't say the magic word." Well the game just expanded on Nedry messing with people and had is own little ripoff games. They were more like little diversions than the main game. Though the triceratops shooting game was pretty hard.

JPI certainly had his problems, but trying to bash a game based on its minigames is pretty stupid. AVGN could at least have made fun of how Sam Jackson's character in the game is Indian (I think) or how Hammond is the same guy that played Nedry just with gray hair. Show the videos of the fake actors running through woods that look nothing like JP. Or the Howie scream when you fail the T-rex chase.

It's common for the Nerd to blame any flaw, from confusing hitboxes to lack of recovery time, on the programmers. AVGN doesn't know much about the process of creating a videogame.

LOL at the hosts of the Opie and Anthony radio show who started laughing at James during one of their interviews because of all the URLs James was hawking at the time on January 9, 2008. The rest of his interview with them was also shitty, with him just saying "Yeah," over and over like a dickwad. What a hack. :D

How about AVGN's Metal Gear blunder in regards to respawn points? Or the sound effects blunder in his Home Alone 2 review? Or the fact that he doesn't know the existence of the 1st Terminator Genesis Game? Or his saying that Cool Spot is 7-11's mascot? Or the fact that he can't use the interact button on the N64 Castlevania? Etc., etc.

People call out IG for his lack of research all the time, but Rolfe has been guilty of this as well. He didn't seem to realize that Home Alone II was made by the same people that did The Simpsons games for the NES when he accused one game of plagiarizing another and never bothered to correct this.

In AVGN's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Re-Revisted, shouldn't the skeleton Robert L. Stevenson have pronounced it "Jeekle" like AVGN mentioned earlier?

I always found it endlessly adorable how IG haters view IG referencing Family Guy and Simpsons jokes as "stealing" while AVGN referencing Spinal Tap and American Movie jokes as "genius". The amount of hypocrisy there is staggering.

In his Nintendo Power review, James says "Star Fox looks fuckin' pissed". Star Fox is the name of the game. The character's name is Fox McCloud. That's equal to him calling the character Klesk in "Quake 3 Revolution"...Quake 3 Revolution.

AVGN claims in his Bible Games 3 review that Magic Carpet 1001 is the most original game in the  Carltron cartridge, only to contradict himself and say that Adam and Eve is the most original game, then a little later he contradicts himself again by saying Adam and Eve isn't original at all. Make up your mind.

In AVGN's video about Atari Jaguar CD Games, he doesn't go to the water in Battle Morph, which shows that he doesn't actually know how to play the game. You need to go to the water to play the game. It's like he doesn't even know how to play the game.

Evidence of AVGN running out of ideas: "What's the deal with the title, 'Flight to Egypt'? LOLOL Ass Express! Yeah, I know flight doesn't mean flying, but I needed to make that shitty-ass joke anyway." Hardy-har-har, AVGN.

The Nerd's research failure would be forgivable if he was actually playing the game for a half hour. But guess what? Those episodes actually take a month to complete each. You would think between those 30 days, he would actually learn more about the game he's trying to mock instead of deciding which animal he will eat diarrhea from in the next episode.

In AVGN's Ninja Gaiden review, he claims that "Shinobi" is somehow connected to the Ninja Gaiden franchise. Any Japanese viewer of his will clearly be scratching his head in regards to his claim, because "shinobi" is merely another word for "ninja" in Japanese and the Sega Franchise "Shinobi" (and its title character, Joe Musashi) has no relation to Ninja Gaiden whatsoever.

AVGN is getting buttfucked in the Nico Nico Douga version of his Milon's Secret Castle review for being a no-nothing foreigner gamer who can't appreciate a classic game because everything must be spoonfed to him. :D So much for his "careful" research.

The Japanese comments on AVGN's failure to appreciate Milon's Secret Castle in Nico Nico Douga are hilarious, especially the ones that ask about him havinga lower IQ than average in regards to his complaints about searching stones and bricks for secrets. :D

One comment from Nico Nico Douga says it's rather strange for AVGN to hate Milon's Secret Castle when he loves Metroid, which is a game that's also full of exploration and secrets itself (as well as a time limit). Guess AVGN delvees into double standards himself. :D

One comment in the Nico Nico Douga version of AVGN's Milon's Secret Castle  review states, "説明書読まないのか。字が読めないの？" which translates to "Did you not read the instructions? Are you not able to read?" :D

AVGN's research pitfalls: Rocky on Sega Master System (TKO rule); E3 videos (Resident Evil as an FPS; Diddy Kong not having a rocket pack in DK 64); Castlevania N64 (not using the interact button); Dick Tracy NES (not knowing how to use items); Wand of Gamelon (Zelda II has a similar picking up scheme with the sword); Ghostbusters Sega Master System (you can shoot straight); Batman: ROTJ (kicking gargoyles kills them); etc.

Home Alone 2 (THQ "ripped off" sound effects from Bart vs. the Space Mutants); Terminator (was confused about which Terminator games came first); Transformers (showed off pirated cartridges as official Japanese releases); McKids (Nerd claims CoolSpot is a 7-11 mascot); Legend of Zelda II (mistakes the manji character for a swastika), etc.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (the townspeople don't attack you unless you attack them or the bomber drops a bomb); Wizard of Oz SNES game (all characters can shoot items); Castlevania review (he's confused between Dawn of Sorrow and Aria of Sorrow; not all games in modern Castlevanias take place in a castle; Dracula doesn't appear in Dawn of Sorrow); Rocky (claims training sessions are worthless) etc.

Pitfall Harry NES (yes, frogs are a common hazard in jungles, they're called poison frogs); his consistent use of online-researched passwords and Game Genie codes; his inability to understand the game mechanics of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; Action 52 (Firebreathers isn't the only two-player game); his inability to finish Ninja Gaiden _with_ cheats; that annoying glitch gremlin fuck, which is his show's Jar Jar Binks; use of Digital Juice recordings; mugging for the camera; etc.
