WTF is this shit? An ungroomed unfunny asshole that films shitty reviews in his hallway? Yikes...

Just another member of Channel Awesome. You either like them or you don't. Most of them are more amature than the big guys like Red Letter Media and the Nerd. They mostly film theirs in their houses with minimal effects.

I like them all. I don't discriminate. Phelous just reviewed Aladdin. Not THAT Aladdin though.

My favorites are still Doug, Lindsay, Todd, Matthew, Brad, Allison and uh.. whatever Paw's name is. I might have left some off though. Also I like all their team members that they usually do their videos with. Like Nella with Lindsay or all of Brad's friends when they do reviews of current movies immediately after watching them outside in their car at midnight. Those are great. But I digress.

Mini-AVGN Review River City Ransom James also says he's working on a new AVGN episode right now.

Now this is the AVGN I know and love! Great mini-episode.

Mike's top 10 obscure SNES gems

I've enjoyed the past few game videos he's done. Gonna check this out now. 31 mins long!

[Jerrod]

I think Phelous is one of the funniest people on Channel Awesome...well he was anyway before he started doing skits and adding Lupa and/or her mannerisms into his videos.

More amateur than amateur, yup that sounds about right.

JonTron is really really good. Anyone ever heard of JonTron? He's really really good. He does video game reviews. And sometimes movie reviews. His stuff is good. He has good showmanship. And a pet "robotic" bird. Or is it robotic "bird"...?

http://www.youtube.com/user/JonTronShow

His latest review is a movie. Birdemic. Obscurus Lupa reviewed it a while ago, but I think while hers was good, and I love Lupa, (She just reviewed three of the four Tremors movies. Burt!) his may actually be better.

JonTron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzV8Q2fsN0o
Lupa: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...30542-birdemic

I highly recommend his stuff. Especially:
Sonic Team Intervention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WdUs19Y-lY
Sonic Colors Review?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggo4RcynMrQ
Castlevania Adventure Drunk Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4IBqP8bc5o
As well as all of the others not listed.

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled Nerd thread. If there's an official JonTron thread I'd post it there, or I could hunt down the TGWTG thread if I have to. Of course someone MUST have posted about him in here already so disregard this, or don't. Because he's good.

Really great list of games I've never knew they existed before. Gotta try a few of them out.

Better do it quick. His similar NES video caused people to buy up BIN auctions and skyrocket the price of stuff like Guardian Legend up to $30.

Firepower 2000 was $5 and now there's only like 6 on eBay. It will get a nice bump, plus the giantbomb guys played it for a bit the other day.

James just tweeted that he's editing a new AVGN right now.

Majority of these are not obscure and a lot of them were in the arcade...

Not sure there was anything on there I'd want/need to play.

by "keep checking" does he mean today or...?

i'd love a new ep tonight

[Stumpokapow]

All ten are worth playing. Of those, Knights of the Round is a really excellent game and worth playing today!

Goddamn Capcpom....what happened to them...I think like half the list were cap games.

[Harlock]

My favorite was the Atari 5200 review. Everyone has problems running old systems.

The long episode about the NES gold cartridge was amazing. Can´t wait for the movie.

[Terrell]

Capcom made great brawlers. I have always been of the opinion that, no matter how much people love Neverwinter Nights, Capcom should have kept the D&D license to continue making the BEST. BRAWLERS. EVAR.

Why has my existence until now been absent of the glory that is Hagane? This game is beautiful 2D-side-scrolling-platforming-action-fighting-'em-upper. Your character turns on a dime and attacks as fast as you can press the hitting button. Lots of ground and air control as I will elaborate. Basic control (can be configured in Options):

Attack
You've got four weapons - sword, chain, kunai, bomb. Sword is fastest. Chain can be aimed upward, including in mid-air. Kunais and bombs come in limited quantity.

Jump
Everything involving the Jump button can be lengthened by holding the button, including how high you jump.
Pressing Jump while airborne results in a horizontal spin; once you begin descending after a jump, you can no longer spin. You can attack in mid-air after spinning. Spinning into a wall yields a wall-jump; hold to ricochet up parallel walls.
Pressing Jump while crouched yields a slide useful for travelling under bullets.
Pressing Down while airborne results in a downward kick that bounces off enemies. Be careful not to hold Down after spinning or you can plummet into enemy attacks or bullets.

Switch Weapon
Cycles through four weapons. Select button cycles opposite. Weapons can be switched while the game is paused.

Bomb
Kaboomo.

Dash/Backdash
The L and R buttons function as dashes. Your direction determines whether each button yields a forward or backward dash.
Holding forward dash yields a somersault.
Pressing Attack during a forward dash makes your character lunge forward and punch before retreating with an automatic backdash.
Pressing Jump during a forward dash performs a flying kick.
Backward dash is faster than forward dash, making it more useful to turn around and hold a backward dash than try to tap forward dash and not accidentally get somersault in between.

Somersault
Holding forward dash yields first a blue somersault; continuing to hold yields a yellow somersault.
Pressing Attack during a blue somersault performs an arching spin attack.
Pressing Attack during a yellow somersault yields a powerful explosion in close proximity.
Pressing Jump during a blue somersault performs a more powerful flying kick.
Pressing Jump during a yellow somersault performs a more powerful plummeting kick.

This is what I know from playing the first level of the game. Power-ups and HUD are easy to understand. There is a timer. Excluding both miniboss segments of Stage 1-1, you can backdash past every enemy. Now, go play this shit.

holy shit...is this 2d DMC?

[alr1ght]

[Seraphinianus]

my body is ready

[Wuthering_Heights]

Wait, he was gone?

[alfredofroylan]

Wait, he was gone?

He was busy with his movie, almost a year since we had a new Nerd episode.

[Seik]

Bring it, I'm so ready.

I almost forgot about him and his movie, kinda feel bad I didn't dipped in the funds he got.

Is the 5 DVDs collection of AVGN worth it? I mean, is there interesting extra stuff? I'd like to encourage him and buying all his work sounds interesting since I follow him since the beginning.

[Nostalgic Nightmare]

Can't wait. I never watched any of these until very recently but now I watch one before bed every night like some kind of ritual, the stuff is entertaining.

[Bisnic]

What does the picture says? Stupid imgur is blocked around here.

[schwabdizzle]

I love that guy . he cracks me up. The Dragonslayer one is the best.

[Bisnic]

I love that guy (no homo). he cracks me up. The Dragonslayer one is the best.

Was that necessary? :lol

new nerd ep coming


In the meantime, Mike looks at some game hacks:
http://cinemassacre.com/2012/07/21/m...ome-nes-hacks/


i think mike has been pretty quality lately! Not nerd level, not that he needs to be, but he's holding his own for sure.

[Bisnic]

new nerd ep coming

:o More details like coming in 2-3 weeks or something?

[Host Samurai]

Nerd is great. I have spent one entire work day watching all his episodes. Fantastic stuff if you played the games he talks about when you were a kid.

[Veezy]

:o More details like coming in 2-3 weeks or something?

He said on the 16th he was editing, so it seems a bit silly for him to tease like that.

[BatDan]

Here's his spoiler-free review of The Dark Knight Rises. http://cinemassacre.com/2012/07/21/d...-rises-review/

Unlike most of the internet, he actually likes it. Good on him.

[picklecannon]

Whoa has it really been that long?

Ahahaha what?

[BatDan]

Ahahaha what?

I guess I'm just looking in the wrong places, but a lot of people seem to not like TDKR. I don't know...

[ViperVisor]

Majority of these are not obscure and a lot of them were in the arcade... Not sure there was anything on there I'd want/need to play.

I'm with you. A good list but heavy on the hack and slash or shooting. I only played SNES at friends houses so I should be more excited by those games he showed cause I didn't even play the games they are knocking off but only a couple gave me an itch. It is tough when he limited himself to America as a lot of puzzle genre games that stayed in Japan. Thinking games have slowly dried up over the years and even the handheld home they had is now iffy with graphic advances. Ka-Blooey is game he should of mentioned.

[thetrin]

I love that guy (no homo). he cracks me up. The Dragonslayer one is the best.

Saying "no homo" is a great way to broadcast to the entirety of GAF that you should be ignored.

[Bisnic]

Saying "no homo" is a great way to broadcast to the entirety of GAF that you should be ignored.

But think of the consequences if he hadn't bothered to type this. The internet might have thought he was gay or something. Oh the horror. :P

[The Real Abed]

Saying "no homo" is a great way to broadcast to the entirety of GAF that you should be ignored.

Seriously. Why even bother saying that? It just means you're not secure enough in your sexuality that you're afraid someone is going to take your "I love that guy" as "OMG, I am so gay and wish I could marry him!" so you post a disclaimer. Edit: Also what Bisnic said. ^^^^

Anyway... Gimmie more Nerd! I am soooo ready! I'm running out of internet review videos to watch.

[Seraphinianus]

i just presume everyone to be gay until I see/hear "no homo"

ah the old reddit switch-a-roo

[Easy_D]

Yeah, Mike's videos are very entertaining to watch.

[ED Cantu]

Finally!
His videos are awesome most of the times, so it's good to finally have a new one after almost a year.

[Uncompromisable]

Yeah, Mike's videos are very entertaining to watch.

Much better than James' most recent outtings. Those bullshit videos really weren't great. The Batman review wasn't very enlightening either. Keeping my hopes up for the next real nerd flick.

[Frankenstrat]

Yeah, Mike's videos are very entertaining to watch.

That minecraft video aside, I take it.
