I just hate the excessive and use of oodles of profanity. I just hate that he gets his name for swearing at games.

We're ALL in agreement? I dunno, I like the AVGN. Or am I not supposed to?

Back to the Zelda topic, I think it can go either way on how they're all connected. Some have connections to each other (Link to the Past - Zelda 1 - Zelda 2; Ocarina - Majora; Minish Cap - Four Swords - Four Swords Adventures), but all in all they can really all just be "legends" and not have, as Murdar put it, one goddamn thing to do with each other.


I don't mind him. If you take his reviews with a grain of salt, they can be enjoyable. His constant swearing gets tiring after a while, and the whole narrative thing he has going in his videos can be pretty corny, but its fun to see games like The Karate Kid and Silver Surfer get some "anger" thrown on em.

But in all honesty, I prefer this guy's reviews 100 times more:

Very fast, and very entertaining, but again take it all with a grain of salt.


Speaking of Zelda continuity, how does The Legend of Zelda cartoon fit in? Was the cartoon the first time anyone saw the "King of Hyrule"?

Apparently he did as i just found out. I never give a second thought to the hordes of online reviewers. So it was news to me.

when I watched his video review of the new rambo movie, and he managed to get through the whole thing without cursing or throwing a temper tantrum, I discovered a newfound respect for him.

I was referencing thread #3728. We've had the AVGN debate before. And the eyeroll was supposed to signify... something. You figure it out. Wink

I watched all of Zero Punctuation's reviews, and I have to say that I fucking love his style.

I like video game reviews, but most of them are just lacking.

AVGN

I think he's kinda funny somtimes, but I am not paying that Jerk 20+ dollars for a DVD of all his old reviews, WHAT WAS HE THINKING?! Mad

Why are people buying it? You can just download the reviews if you have some compulsion to have them saved, why even buy a DVD? So you can show it to people who still don't have computers? Confused

Here grandma watch this, shitpickle is hilarious!

He's a feature Screw Attack doesn't need IMO.

I dunno, Tebor. Like him or not, he's one of ScrewAttack's signature features.

I don't care how bad McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure may have been. It was still an awesome game! Very Happy

That's not what my point was. Of course he is! That's fact. My point was that they don't really need him.

It's like saying that the Mars, Incorporated doesn't really need 3 Musketeers. They own it, but, eh, they got enough candy to get by too. Ya know, 3 Musketeers, a big tent pole candy bar, but really... come on. There's already Twix and Milky Way.

God, f*** this conversation. I've just depressed myself with candy analogies. Crying

Replace ScrewAttack with Lionsgate and Tent pole films, you'll know why.

Watch his Virtual Boy review. He actually goes light on the profanity. Best review he has.

With Handsome Tom gone, ScrewAttack needs AVGN now. Comment redacted.
