AVGN The Movie!

**FudgyDRS** · 09-11-2014, 07:40 AM

Just finished watching the AVGN movie and I thought it was pretty good.

If you want to pirate, stream, or buy the blue-ray here's the link to the trailer/online rental, check it out:
Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie

And here's the link to the site:
AVGN: AVGN Games! | Cinemassacre Productions

I also I suggest looking into the AVGN game AVGN Adventures published on steam. And once again, if you want to pirate or buy the game here's the trailer:

To be honest I thought it was pretty "meh"
It might just be me though. After watching every episode of his, it started to get a bit same old same old.
He is a talented guy though definitely, and I have a lot of respect for him and what he has accomplished

I find he has gone to shit over the last few years. Too much effort in his movie and not enough on his series. His James and Mike Play's are terrible, and boring. I have know idea why these vids have like 1000 to 1 likes to dislikes.

Opinions brah. And it's not that he focused too much effort on his movie, while that is a deciding factor, you have to remember he has a daughter, and a wife. Plus working on a full length film and trying to make new content for the AVGN series, the crap he's fallen to (which I agree with btw) is understandable.

I don't get what people like about his videos. Every one I've seen comes off as forced.

**DrunkN** · 09-11-2014, 06:13 PM

Recent episodes have been lacking, the way I see it. I didn't like the stuff he did while he was making the movie because his videos were often drawn out to an overly lenghtly run time (his way of trying to compensate for the scarcity of episodes) with not enough material.

Cautiously optimistic about the movie; haven't seen it yet.

They're just entertaining. I don't take the character's opinions as true like some of his viewers do, because he's more often than not wrong on many subjects, but that's exactly what the character of AVGN is. He's supposed to be angry without reason, and definitely comes off as a parody of gamers who nitpick over every little tiny thing.

That isn't to say he doesn't review objectively bad games, but more often than not, instead of pointing out genuine flaws, the character nitpicks other things.

Plus, for me at least, it's more just a journey. I've watched his videos since the beginning, and was something me and my brother watched every time a new video came out. The last video I completely enjoyed was probably the Bible Games episode, where I laughed nearly throughout the entire thing, as opposed to recent ones where I get a chuckle or maybe a hearty laughter here and there. Also, I've seen the work that goes into a single video and it's insane, for a 9 minute video, it's roughly like three, four weeks of work. If anything, you have to give the guy credit for that.

I have only laughed out loud 1 time during an AVGN video. I never thought they were funny, I thought they were entertaining. I like him showing frustrating parts of games, and his rants that go along with it add entertainment, not comedy.

I have zero interest in watching his movie.

**samejamesbond** · 09-12-2014, 08:39 AM

The last AVGN review I laughed at was Winter Games.
But The recent ones feel like he's doing because he has to do it.

I've watched the nerd since the first few episodes and I'm gonna try to see his movie.

Sure, I just don't enjoy the result of his hard work.

**KATZ** · 09-12-2014, 01:30 PM

I hope now that hes done with the movie he'll continue with the series... i watched one james & mike and just quit going to his channel

**Kong** · 09-12-2014, 08:56 PM

I haven't seen anything new of his. I don't like his rants. Take them away and there isn't much that is even attempting to be funny. Even with the annoying rants I think the shows are interesting.

Also, gotta give him credit for probably being the most famous voice in retro gaming. I have good friends that are so uninterested in games they've never even checked out this site even thought they personally know the creator and they still know who AVGN is. Impressive.

**FudgyDRS** · 09-13-2014, 07:15 PM

How about the AVGN Adventures, what do you guys think about that?

**RU Joe** · 09-17-2014, 12:33 PM

I understand why some of you say AVGN/ James Rolfe's videos feel forced but if he didn't put on some kind of show he wouldn't have gotten very far.

These newer 'Let's Play' videos with Mike are boring, and there is a lot of filler going on but this should be taken with the understanding that James has been working hard on his movie for a few years now.
If I was him I'd have done the same: minimal effort on you tube, leaving most for the movie.

I don't think many non - AVGN fans would give it a glance.
I think it's an incredible retro gaming tribute, not only to the Nerd but also to those elements of the 8 and 16 - bit era we all loved to hate, but more = it transcends the Nerd character and includes elements from other videos he's done like his Monster Madness movie reviews - which is why the game also includes things like The Giant Claw.

But only fans of his videos or people familiar with the source material would get the references anyways.

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures on Steam

ON James Rolfe/ AVGN in general, he followed his dream of making movies and became successful, which is something I imagine not many people can say.
I haven't seen his movie yet but anticipate a wild ride.

Agreed. He has always been more of a cinema fan at heart rather than a video game fan, even since childhood. It's really cool that he has made his own path in creating a movie.

**FudgyDRS** · 09-18-2014, 02:47 AM

Well I can at least say it beats Ashen's movie by a long shot. That one was really boring.

He is still funny to me, Wasn't it Hilarious when he pooped on Bugs Bunny!?
I haven't watched his James and Mike Play's yet though.
