So besides Classic Game Room and AVGN, are there any other shows that focus on retro hardware and game reviews?

N64 Glenn Plant on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/user/glennplant

He reviews n64 games, flashcarts, prototypes, hacks and leaked unfinished games.

His reviews are pretty good, and he doesnt do skits or comedy shit. His wrestling game reviews, on the other hand, have him doing a Goldust impersonation in full make up, and are kinda cringeworthy.

YouTube probably isn't the best place to go to for this kind of thing since the level of discourse around old video games there rarely rises above "ugh I can't get up there, why can't I get up there, waht a bunch of poopy asss diarrhea," but that ClanOfTheGreyWolf channel was really cool when the dude got in depth about games (Earthbound and Dragon Quest) and talked about the hardware (NES Zapper).

I find that I enjoy all forms of gaming now that I stopped wasting my time watching youtube reviewers and forming my own opinions and playing what looks interesting that I get recommended by friends, or games I find while hunting in the wild, maybe an article every now and then.

Long and short of it is you're watching a youtube reviewer for entertainment, not to be informed. So since you're watching it to be entertained, you're probably better off just playing the games yourself because that way you actually get some kind of personal enjoyment and fulfillment of beating them instead of watching a lets play or cut footage of the ending slapped in between jump cuts of review.

I still watch a few every now and again. I'm still subbed to ProJared and Cinemassacre because while I think AVGN is tired as all hell, I like James and Mike's perspectives on film.

Not entirely true. There's a covenience and cost factor to watching videos about certain games and consoles. Not everybody has the resources to just up and buy any and every piece of hardware or software on a whim, with some being more difficult to attain than others.

That's like saying:

> why watch National Geographic when you can just go to Africa

> why watch MythBusters when you can just test them yourselves

> why watch Breaking Bad when you can cook meth yourself

You misunderstand why someone would watch what they do, while entertainment is a factor, it's not the sole motivator or whole appeal.

The difference though is that AVGN is over the top comedy. Taking his opinions seriously is pretty crazy, for instance James personally enjoys Castlevania 2 but is identified with proving that the game is horrible for some reason.
It has gotten a bit stale, sure, but what do you expect after 200 or whatever episodes? I still watched and enjoyed the majority of those. Of the recent ones I feel Atari Sports and Dark Castle were his best, they had me laughing out loud.
You can definitely tell James is a bit tired of the Nerd persona and does it mainly as a crowd pleaser. Watch his Making of AVGN video where he outright says that constan swearing has become a trademark of the character so he has to do it. It's a bit unfortunate.

Anyway, I find him as one of the rare genuinely cool and interesting people of the whole YouTube personality crew, and I like hearing him in Mondays videos and other projects.

Not who you're replying to, but Mark seems alright in my book. I like people who are clearly into games beyond just making reviews and I respect people who can apparently make a living doing what they love. My only complaint is his voice. Listening to a brief sampling of his voice back at the beginning in 1999, I can say his regular speaking voice is good and that I feel his over the top thing is less appealing to my ears. Some is OK for intros and stuff, but I wouldn't mind hearing him just speak normally. Maybe his voice has just naturally changed in the past 16 years.

>/v/ is a completely separate entity from /vg/

you really are delusional man. Not even him but he's not the only one he sees the blatant samefagging. It's hard to look at. We are attempting to have a discussion and we have some faggot jumping up and down like a child to get attention to his channel. Two people called the samefagging out,

So, if anything is bad, then we all agree, if three or four people think it's good, then it's samefagging.

Maybe we are /v/ after all.

yeah man, im just claiming to be a master hacker,
>>2506168
but dumb asses like this that are so pushy make me want to. I haven't had to call out a samefag in a while because I usually don't care. People with a brain usually stop once they get called out. I suppose there is a step above autism.

THE FUCKING POOR CLICK BAIT TACTIC. I watched 30 seconds of the first video to realize you are the one promoting this. Stop.

The AVGN character needs to die already.
I mean, he had his role and purpose, but today it barely makes any sense. Specially after making a movie.

Not saying they should stop making videos, they could just take another approach to the whole thing.

AVGN started an empire but clearly an heroed his career with that God awful movie. As a big fan, I couldn't even force myself to like it. It failed on almost every level a movie could fail at.

The problem is that people expected something amazing, from a guy who never did something that big.
Fans today just want everything their own way and can't see things from other perspectives. So it was a bad idea from the start.

>literally starting the youtube gaming community
>nothing big

his movie got funded for a reason, anon. He could have made that movie kick ass. But it fell short, it hurt to watch. When you have to open your low budget movie with an expensive (for the budget) graphic and a montage to explain the plot of the movie, you know it's going to suck. And I was right. It was hard to watch man, you know it.

>starting anything on youtube
>making a big scale movie
Those don't even compare. The responsability and money management are completely different. The effort taken on a youtube anything can be spread and you can take your time. With a movie all the pressure is on your shoulders and it only gets worse.
If only he had gone full plan 9 from outer space, it might have worked.

I didn't like it, but I admire the effort.

Cmon dude. Literally every youtube gaming channel can contribute their inspiration from AVGN. It's like not acknowledging the beatles for their role in music today.

Big scale? We knew by the budget it wasn't going to be "big scale" and looking at his track record for the other lesser known short movies he's made, it's clear that a budget can't enhance your ability to make something great.

Was there pressure? Absolutely. But he also had pressure to make a new AVGN episode all the time, which even then at the end, had a dramatic decline in quality.

You know what would have worked? Use the guitar guy and mike as your side kicks, not a random fuck wad no one is familiar with. Then use some of that budget to hire a decent love interest FOR THE NERD MIGHT I ADD. Hell, he could of hired the nostalgia chick, and utilized other youtubers to come play roles. But no, no names were hired and it was below B movie quality. The passion was there but my goodness did that movie suck. The lack of talent was clear. The movie was all over the place, the editing was just... There was no excuse for it because the pacing forced this movie into the the trash faster than it should have. Generally when the movie came out and a lot of people were talking about it, most people lost interest and realized it was an abomination within 15 minutes. Once the Cool graphic and the montage was over, the first scene kicked the snowball downhill and it could not recover.
