I still can't agree with James' hate for Simon's Quest. Love that game to death to this day!

Theparanerds3370d ago

10 years? Wow, good for him. I remember watching his videos in college

BrickHardcastle3370d ago

Tell me about it. It makes me feel old.

DrKarateChop3370d ago

The reason he's been so darn successful and influential is because he's a filmmaker first and a video game fan second. His choice in camera angles and edits is top notch. Other creators need whole teams to make a series, he's been a one man crew (with a little help here and there) for a decade. What a pro.

dead_pixels3370d ago

You're absolutely right. It's what makes his videos so damn entertaining.

TLG19913370d ago

It's the difference between a youtube video and TV show quality video.

EvilAsh3370d ago

His channel still maintains that "homemade" quality and I thinks that adds to his charm.

KentBenMei3370d ago

Well, that's why his videos are well made but it's also why his J&MMs make him look like a little kid playing games for the first time. Oh well, as long as I get my entertainment he can suck as much as he wants at games lol.

I think it's really interesting to look at the path of AVGN versus that of other "angry reviewers" like the Nostalgia Critic. AVGN managed to maintain this certain sense of purity that's really cool.

The Decline of Indiegogo

Indiegogo is one of the first crowdfudning sites, and the Angry Video Game Nerd seemed poised to make the site a dominant force. So what happened?

garyanderson3270d ago

Indiegogo, that place is such a joke.

darthv723269d ago

Didnt read it yet but could the ill fated retro vgs be part of their downfall...?

Bismarn3268d ago

It's ludicrous to say Indiegogo is on a decline. You have to have had a rise first before you can have a fall.
