Now don’t get me wrong, I still watch the series after all these years. But the older episodes, despite being made as cheap and simple as possible, have a charm and the Nerd legit sounded angry. Now, James just seems to have lost his touch and his performance seems too forced.
I know he did a bunch of Pong games, but I don't know if there's anything else he's done on the first generation.
James loves the original Godzilla movies, he's seen them all multiple times and done side videos ranking them or discussing the best movies for beginners across each era of Godzilla movie production.
He did a review of a dozen Godzilla games across half a dozen different consoles from NES up to XBox. That was over a decade ago and barely spent any time on the NES Godzilla. He introduces the video about his childhood being filled with NES games and Japanese monster movies. He also loved classic horror movies and has revisited the horror NES games, some of them have been revisited more than once, but Godzilla only gets 5 minutes in a compilation of other games?
Godzilla for NES deserves a revisit

The follow-up to James' Castlevania II review sees the first on-screen appearance of the Nerd. These two episodes were included in the Cinemassacre Gold Collection as "Bad NES games".

I thought they sounded similar and would like to see your thoughts on it.
EDIT: Thank you for all of the feedback!
Hey, everyone. From now on I'd like to post once a week about our favorite angry review show. Let's revisit these episodes for some nostalgia, and maybe even have a laugh here and there.

The part of the video is at 19:55, where The Nerd is beating up Santa Claus. Anyone know what song that is? Shazam can't detect it.
Hey! When I started this sub in 2011 I had no idea how it would evolve. I just enjoyed AVGN and realized there was no subreddit for it. There’s been ups and downs and a semi-shut down when the cinemassacre sub started up and now we’re here!
I’ve been pleasantly pleased to see many AVGN fans posting and making content these past few years and I strive to make this a place where people can do that.
No doubt many of you are aware of people who, for one reason or another, have come to dislike AVGN and we’ve had many of them come and try and fling shit around here. Because it had become so frequent, I instituted shitpost Saturdays as a way for them to release their steam while making it more manageable for actual fans to post. As a whole, I think its institution is a success; they get quarantined to Saturdays, people who actually want to shitpost have a day for it, and I feel justified in issuing bans to people who just want to fling shit around.
I try my best to be fair in my approach (despite being only human) and I understand it’s easy to get angry at people who don’t like the thing you like, especially in a subreddit dedicated to it. I’m an old guy though and I was there when the old magic was written. I would like to ask for those of you who are here because you have love for the AVGN to remember: don’t feed the trolls.
They’re here to get a rise out of you, don’t let them. I’d tell you to downvote them, but to be honest: if you don’t interact with them, you deprive them of what they want and the more likely it is that they’ll take their game somewhere else.
Just some thoughts, feel free to let me know what you think about it; not gonna sticky this post, I don’t think that’s appropriate. Please report harassment and I will remove personal insults on either side of the fence when I catch them.
Thanks for your time!
I know everybody has issues with the new AVGN about the Pony Prince or whatever it was, but to be honest, reviewing newer games isn't that big of a deal, right?
Time goes on, and what was new becomes old.
I'd like to see the Nerd review games that I grew up with in the 2000s.
How about you?
How is this allowed?
This Game is so bad that Nerd must drive a car to destroying it. Nerd please review this Game🙏
