AVGN channels that genuine anger I felt as a child playing NES games. His stuff is more profound than what some people think.

Wenis3759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

Yea I agree. I love all his AVGN videos, but the original ones he did were the best (ghost busters, castlevania, TMNT etc), simply because they are games he actually played as a kid and got pissed off about, so there is a legitimate hate toward them

Sadist33759d ago

Never heard of him and I've been gaming since the 80's. I'm not a loser so maybe I don't relate to nerds

Neonridr3759d ago

He wasn't around in the 80s (well he was, but he was a kid playing Nintendo games back then, not making internet videos about those games). He only started up in the past few years.

If you're trying to be funny,you're not.

If not?
*facepalm*

I would like to point out that you're commenting on a site for videogame enthusiasts. Just think about that. I'd also disagree about the loser thing.

Dante813759d ago

lol. You've been gaming since the 80s because there were nerds around to make them.

I loved his early stuff. I do find his sidekick quite annoying, that Elmo video was painful to watch.

Sidewinder-3759d ago

Wah, I'd never seen that.

I've found him questionable at times, but man there's a lot of internet hate there.

JohnnyTower3759d ago

I had to do a double-take. I thought that dude In the pic was Screech.

Studio-YaMi3759d ago

I enjoy his videos,he has a sense of humor that kinda grows on you,he's not a comedian in nature but he is still fun to watch,plus the nostalgia you get when watching him play these old classics.

I wish he keeps making videos as long as he can.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues
