Calling the honda power unit a turd is fitting in relation to the other power units on the grid. It is considerably down on power and less reliable than the others on the grid; Alonso and Button are often quite frank about how inferior it is.

Maybe, but I have my doubts. I was a passenger in a car that went off the road in rural Maine. People came to check that we were ok but they were more concerned with loudly telling each other that “he should have had snow tires” quite obviously so the driver could hear it instead of actually helping or making sure…

It was a 99 Toyota Yaris. He was lucky it had a windshield.

You’ll find that attitude in most parts of rural anywhere. You still have your trashy people, but farmers and ranchers are for the most part very level headed and sedate.

Some people aren’t so nice.

I think it possibly could be rural anywhere.

WHY ARE THEY SO NICE

Their ridiculous cool-headedness and level tempers are giving me road rage, and I’m not even driving.

Remember when we laughed about this many years ago when this was just a thought about what would happen with games.

it really is a shame how much shit he caught for the Ghostbusters videos, especially when you watch them, and he just calmly discusses why he’s not into them.

I’ve been watching James for his entire ten year run. I’ve watched everything he puts out, Monster Madness, Board James, James and Mike Mondays, and even the horror films he made when he was a kid. After a decade I still get super excited when I see a new AVGN video in my feed, and have a viewing party with my friends…

It’s as if the concept of a satire was made for people like you. You know, the ones who actually take it seriously.

I never cared for the Nerd character, but what kept me coming back to his videos, time and again, was Rolfe’s game collection. I think there were a lot of us in that age bracket who dreamed of growing up and having a complete (or near-complete) NES collection, and since we were all coming into disposable income just…

I remember my friends showing me the Bible Games episode in ‘06 and I instantly became a fan. There was just nothing else like it, sorta like the MST3K of videogames. It’s impressive how the format still holds up - new episodes are still hilarious, although the reliance on gross-out humor and cursing does feel forced…

I never said he was bigoted, but don’t let me get in the way of all those conclusions you’re jumping to.

“I don’t like his opinions therefore he’s bigoted”

This is a great and healthy way to view the world.

I dislike the “angry young white douchebag nerd reviewer” shtick that has proliferated through YouTube like cancer. I don’t like people who get worked up over disposable corporate culture. But I still like the AVGN because he was one of the first, he was funny and you could tell that it’s a persona he is taking on.

TLDR of this article:

AVGN played a stereotypical neckbeard nerd. Therefore, I’m going to assume his out-of-character persona has an issue that he’s sexist rather than listen and rebut his actual reasons.

I remember when he first started as the “Angry Nintendo Nerd,” complete with his theme song. When he changed to the “Angry Video Game Nerd” (not sure if it was something about Nintendo not wanting to think he was associated with them or just wanting to branch out to non-Nintendo games), I remember the theme song not…
