Could anyone explain to me why most of /vr/ hates game grumps? I personally think they're pretty good, but I've seen a lot of recent shit storms from mentioning their name.

Well problem is half the time they rarely talk about the game. Jontron's channel is actually better in looking into retro games

They're unfunny

Everytime they do a game the price gets driven WAY the fuck up because now every hipster piece of trash wants a copy because the Game Grumps played it, even though all they're going to do is emulate it which means someone who actually WANTS to own and play the actual game is fucked

Yakumo1975 and his Retro Core series.

That is, if you want actual information about the games. Guy's got one of the coolest retro collections I've ever seen, with some really expensive and rare merch.

If you want a goofy teenage hipster faggot then you'd better look elsewhere.

Chrontendo by Dr. Sparkle. He is playing through and documenting every NES release chronologically. He's on part 48 right now i think. It's dry, but he has a great deadpan sense of humor and you will learn a lot about the development of console gaming.

i cannot recommend Chrontendo enough. It is an educational tool. So good to have.

The Happy Video Game Nerd. Look up lophatjello on YouTube. As his character name suggests, he started off as a parody of the Angry Video Game Nerd, but he later became his own thing, with the name sticking just because it's what people know him by. He gives some solid reviews for retro games that he feels were either overlooked or underrated. Check him out.

Anyone listen to Retronauts? They're back. In pog form. Tonight at 9:00ET (Like right now) they're streaming random SNES games on Twitch. Probably nothing special, just popular shit that you've seen a thousand times.

I would say Pat the NES Punk but I swear he tries to add a story to his reviews and they come out looking very poor

16 bit gems is pretty great. It's pretty much HVGN but, in my humble opinion, better. He seems to go deeper in the analysis and history of the game.

That one emulates well and can be digitally downloaded, at least.

I bought the Japanese version because I had to have it complete. Was about half the price and the cover has a cute girl AND a robot, instead of just a robot.

I mean, I get he was having fun with someone he respected from his childhood, but for an episode of his Angry Video Game Nerd series it just had no place. He barely even critiqued the game--just made vulgar shit and dick jokes with a cooky old man. That was the first AVGN episode I actually didn't enjoy.
