James (AVGN) interviews Mike Nelson

If anyone is interested in seeing how bad my videos are. I did one about Captain N

This.
Maybe last 25 seconds. But that's it.

I had honestly never seen his stuff before, so I checked out his reviews of Ultimates 3.

I... I liked the funny voices he gave to each character.

>>83063
Hmm. Not bad.

One thing I find interesting about AVGN is that it's become apparent that he too is very bored with the whole swearing thing, and he's trying to slowly work that out and just talk. This is awesome for me because when James is just talking he's my favorite reviewer on the internet.

It would be nice if he could dial back on using the original theme song though. I've never liked those lyrics. Actual melody is nice enough though, so the remixes are fair enough. Still not needed, but fair enough.

>>83118

yea just convert it into an 8 bit and such mix depending on the medium I'd think it would be great

>>83118
>>83122
I quite live the orchestral mix myself.

I only watch the Nostalgia Critic from time to time. Don't watch any of the others. Recently watched Kickassia and now any desire to watch the other reviewers was pretty much eliminated.

>>83126
Watch Spoony's SWAT 4 LP. Seriously. DO IT.

>>82244

Why do all the TGwtG reviewers think it's okay to set every review against the same bland backdrop, at the same angle?

I like the Angry Nerd better than the Nostalgia Critic because he comes off as more genuine.

>>83176

Probably doesn't help that Critic has done commentaries on some of his reviews going "Yeah I didn't really hate this"

>>83175

Because they're just in it for the money and not artistic expression?

>>83182
You can tell the ones that were picked on the forums because his heart just isn't in them.

Also fuck his Last Action Hero review. Fuck it up the ass sideways.

Linkara's loving review of the Jaime Reyes 'Blue Beetle' series is great.

>>83175
That's another reason I like the nerd. He actually lets us see his geek palace.

>>83175

I have this problem with iFanboy. The same room/corner they use all the time is boring.

Never really watched Linkara cause what he discusses is stuff I don't know much about. Critic is alright when he doesn't pull a Family Guy style joke and use another repeating joke from 20 episodes ago.

Nerd is the only one I've really enjoyed cause rather than trying to make a joke; he lets what he's reviewing be the joke himself and doesn't constantly rely on retarded characters to fill in for jokes as well. He's also pretty informative and has been kind of less angry lately.

I just want to say I never read these threads and never watch any of the people discussed here but the guy in the op pic looks like a tremendous nerd douche I would enjoy pummeling into snot and tears if he made that gesture in my direction.

Linkara-lite. And most of his vid just need to GET ON WITH IT!

>>88680
Also his tits were distracting.

>>82492

I liked that one too.

Even if I disagree with the reviewer, they still sometimes make good points. I don't watch everything on the TGWTG site, just the things that interest me.

>>88680
>Linkara-lite
He's completely different from him.
Linkara specializes in comedy and satirizing terrible comics. Last Angry Geek is more informative about comic books in general with very few comedy.

Is it just me or has Nostalgia Chick got a lot less hot... and a lot more boring...

>>88927
I liked her Hercules drinking game video.

I dislike internet reviewers who feel the need to have themselves in front of the camera when it isn't necessary. It just screams "give me internet fame, please, my mother doesn't love me and frowns upon my hobbies".

Linkara man... I think the biggest thing about his stuff is that nobody's really reviewed comics in a video format before (excluding the new guy at tgwtg.com) and frankly, some of his choices are a little odd i.e. that Spidey/Storm/Luke Cage anti-smoking PSA comic, Kool-Aid Man #1. Also, the whole "Lord Vyss" shit doesn't help, but at least now he has the decency to put it at the end of his reviews.

Really, he just needs to branch out, maybe do more than just 90's comics. Other decades made shitty comics too, Lewis.

Also, all internet reviewers need to stop with this titlecard shit. Especially you, Cinema Snob.

  Ashens's got the right length for a title, I think.

>>88943
>is that nobody's really reviewed comics in a video format before

iFanboy have been doing it much longer, and better.

Watched Linkara's Top 15 of stuff he'll never review yesterday.
And everything went well until #2: One More Day, when he went in a yelling rampage about it, though to be fair, we now know the reason of why he'll never gonna touch that. Plus, is one of the most things he got requested.

>>88943
He's basically frustrated with the Liefeild-mania of the nineties, though his hatred towards Kool-Aid Man it's rather odd. As well his distrust to the silver age.
And about the Lord Vyss thing, is mostly that he tries to do some kind of story between reviews, like the first one about the alternate robot thing that took Linakara's appearance. While I don't mind that, I understand that it could feel out of place for a satirical review show.

And I have to disagree with you about Cinema Snob's title cards. I love them.
The others are pretty munch ok. Most of the time.

Also, CR! or ChadRocco deserve to be mentioned here, he does really nice reviews about obscure characters from different media.

He's pretty much every smug, self entitled pseudo intellectual snot that gets self righteous about comics in the store.

He would just be annoying if he wasn't emblematic of some of the worst attitudes prevalent throughout comic fans.

Also: not funny.

>>90704
>>90705
I disagree

>>82364
>>I never liked AVGN too much because his whole schtick of "incredibly angry guy who swears a lot" gets a little old after a few videos.

I was thinking this too, but having seen some of his non-AVGN videos I actually think he can be a better critic than a lot of the others.

>>91548
He has a very analytical style.
Breaks things down to the basics to explain why they are good or bad.

>>91548

yea it was his shtick when he started but he's toned it down a lot since it was becoming forced a while back.

It staggers the mind that Linkara can keep doing what he's doing when Yahtzee exists. Yahtzee can write jokes, he can communicate ideas SUCCINCTLY and he owns a good microphone and records in a good room for it.

>>90704
>>90705
Are you talking about Linkara?

>>83063
By the way, when will see your next review?

>>82563
>>1. Do your (wikipedia) homework. If you're confused or unsure about it, either do research on the subject or don't discuss it at all. You never wanna be one-up'd by your audience.
>>82613
>>1. Knowledgable.

These. Some reviewers lost credibility to me when they do something where it's clear they don't know what they're talking about.

Have some suck http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/blogs/latest/entry/new-show-bad-daptations-ep1-thunderbirlds-the-movie

>>91639

True its why I like guys like Spoony who may rip the shit out of something with a heart felt passion(IE Modern Final Fantasy Games) but he's actually poured a hell of a lot of time and research into what he does when he reviews.

>>91649

what the fuck is this semen filled asshole of fail.

http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/dw/skitches/27782-dw-lolita-covers
The Distressed Watcher. Talking about book covers of Lolita.
What.
At least he's not burning anything.

so is this about weird people yellin about things into they webcams

>>91800
Sometimes.

Watched Linkara's 100 episode.
It really wasn't like the big deal, but I liked how at the ending most of teh TGWTG people came out to sing his theme song.
Showing me one of the reasons I like them(except for the Distressed Watcher/Amazing Atheist): This people are BROS. And that's awesome.

>>92373

Yeah, Episode 100 was basically everything you can expect in your average Linkara review; an honest, well-informed critique of the comic surrounded by decent yet poorly-executed jokes all delivered in a slightly grating voice.

And you got my hopes up with that tease about the TGWTG gang all singing the theme song at the end. I expected to hear it sung as a huge choir, not line-by-line.
