A lot of you likely know and despise him. A lot of you also likely know Linkara, the comic book reviewer... This needs no explanation.
EDIT: I kinda mis-titled the video, if a mod is reading this, could you retitle it to "Linkara on the Irate Gamer"? Thanks.

I see what he was doing, but I still want to punch my monitor just seeing and hearing the guy.

Why Greg? Not a fan of Linkara?

Nothing on that site, really. He's definitely not the worst of all of them, but I just can't stand the overall attitude that the featured people on the site have. I'm not knocking anyone's tastes. If you like them all, or just one of them then that's cool, but the way they all act and talk just drives me nuts.

I kinda like TGWTG and AVGN but don't all of them act like this? If I had never heard of the irate gamer I would think this was parody of any/all of them.

Irate Gamer is the Uwe Boll of reviewers, enough said.
The worst is that DarkMaze guy. Sheesh, what a hack.

Have you guys heard of Game Dude? If his videos are parodies, then they're awesome, if not, then... Wow.

I seriously love Linkara. Course I also really like about half(ish) of the TGWTG crew. Spoony and Linkara are my favorites though.

I've watched a few of Linkara's recent videos, and he's certainly tolerable compared to the rest. He seems like a good guy with an absence of egomania like the rest, but the actual Nostalgia Critic guy is the most punchable human being ever. It was fun watching Retsupurae rip into him a while back.

Linkara on The Irate Gamer? I'm sure Linkara's had that fantasy before.

Best thing on TGWTG is Deja View. Everything else is crap in comparison.
Ive never watched irate gamer but that was like watching an avgn, only without any comedic timing, or film making ability.
That's one of the things I love about AVGN. Like him or not, he's got a great comedic sense, and he's great at the technical aspects of what he does. (The Behind the Scenes AVGN ep is still one of my favorites.)

So I guess this is the new TGWTG thread. I remember watching Linkara's take on Bores, but I can't remember if it was any good or not.
Obscurus Lupa is by far the best thing on that site. She's absolutely adorable, and unlike most "angry reviewers" she actually seems to like the material she does rather than just say go durrr this sucks.
Cinema Snob's a close second, and I'll watch anything the Rap Critic puts out, and I even like the past series of videos the Nostalgia Chick has been putting out.
There are a lot of what if's in life Donny. What if I hit you really hard in the face, knocked yo shit to the back of yo skull? What if I....had you girl gargle my nuts? The fact remains, you are a fuckin mutant.

I know he's relatively new to the site, but Oancitizen/Brows Held High deserves a watch, especially after his crossovers with Lupa and JesuOtaku.

Hmmm i have watched Irate Gamer before. I am not saying he is a good reviewer because he isn't but a lot of the hate is just because he "copied" the Angry Video Game Nerd. To be honest i don't really see it and i find most of the arguments against the Irate Gamer to be childish, especially from the AVGN fan base.
Okay he gets "mad" at games so what? It's not like IG or AVGN were the first to review games online. There's Seanbaby and i imagine people way before him. It's just ludicrous. The AVGN nerds are actually watchable though and make valid points whereas IG is just shit, uses cheats to do everything, boring to watch, makes shit/obvious points, does not research.
That's fair enough but the whole "omg he copied" is fucking retarded.

Really now? That argument is OLD; 2007 old. Anyone who still believes that is either new to the internet or can't simply move on with life.
