One of these is not like the others.

How does this guy get respect but Angry Joe doesn't?
Not to give the wrong impression, I don't care for the angry gamer shtick regardless of whom it's coming from but Joe seems often much more insightful when critiquing a game and gives games a pretty in depth analysis.
Neither are funny, but of the angry video game people on YouTube it doesn't make sense why people shit on his content and lash out when people post it and yet AVGN is so revered? Is it because he was one of the originals? Nostalgia?

I'm just saying, any time someone posts a thread with saying he (Angry Joe) posted a review or something, a parade of people show up asking "how is this thread worthy?"
And I'd agree.
But I'd have to say the same thing for AVGN and even Jim Sterling (whom I like). Pardon me, I'm not trying to come off confrontational. It's just after watching this video it was offensively unfunny. The hacky Forrest Gump reference just makes my case for me. "Life is like a box of shit. Hurrr"
I can beat whomever will post the "I don't like thing." "Ok.".jpg to the punch. I get it, but I do think my statement that these video (or maybe just this video in particular) is inane and extraordinarily unfunny are just as relevant as the statements saying "kek video gud"

Pretty good episode, love the use of rotoscoping 😁

Angry Joe reviews get a new thread every other week. AVGN reviews don't even get their own thread, and have been relegated to the community thread for literally years.
I tend to prefer AVGN just because his videos are bite-sized. Angry Joe does long form content, which is great for some viewers but I really don't want to listen to some guy rant about a single game for like 45 minutes. Angry Joe beats a dead horse forever, while AVGN gets some quick punches in and steps out. If every Weird Al song was 13 minutes long, he'd probably get the same sort of backlash.
Angry Joe is meant to be taken as serious criticism (at least by some), whereas AVGN episodes are kind of a fun lark that may contain insight but are ultimately just comedy.
MOD VOICE:
If you don't have anything relevant to say about the thread's topic, don't say anything.
This thread is about: Angry Video Game Nerd Ep 145: Sonic The Hedgehog (2006)
We'll allow a certain amount of conversational drift and low-info posting, but this has turned into derail. If you have something to say about a derail in a another thread, PM a mod. Otherwise, stay on topic. This is your warning.
Is it just me or does Rolfe seem like he's worn out in this episode? I mean, he's be doing this for like a decade now, so I would expect it. Maybe it's been like this for a while now; it just seems really noticeable this time around.

I really don't see what AVGN has to do with Angry Joe. They both have Angry in their name...ok...and?
People have been watching James for 13 years now. Over that time, he's built up a fanbase and a lot of respect. People might not be so into the whole thing anymore, hell even he doesn't seem as enthusiastic. But people still watch because it's a basically a comedy show about old videogames, and an obsessive nerd who gets pissed off because of how shitty they are.
You do you, fam. I agree on some points and disagree on others. I think both are cosmically unfunny but I tend to find Angry Joe reviews far more informational whereas AVGN stuff tends to be purely for entertainment. No one in this day and age is playing the games AVGN is playing.
Wow! James was definitely a pioneer for this style of YouTube celebrity I feel.
Green screenPretty good episode, love the use of rotoscoping 😁
I haven't seen this episode yet but he's really not at the same level he used to be and he hasn't been for a long time. I'm not sure how much of it is burn out and how much is just him getting stale but I don't know how much longer he can keep doing this for.

The difference is RLM are still funny, and to a lesser extend, Joe.
I still like James non character videos though.
He's already hit all the low-hanging fruit (and most of the medium-hanging fruit), frustrating games from his childhood that he remembers, movie/TV licensed games, noted terrible games.
Heck, he had to binge-watch Power Rangers for the first time for his last video.
His movie-related stuff and Board James have been on point in the last couple years so it's not like he's burned out making videos in general. Those ones probably get 20%-30% of the hit count of the Nerd episodes so it's not surprising that he keeps forcing these out.
I will say his last six videos (starting with Paperboy) have all been solid to good.
Probably his most consistent run in a while.
I feel like if you're gonna cover one of the most covered games in existence, you should bring something new to the table, or offer a different perspective like he did with E.T. This was just more of the same observations every other angry reviewer's made, like the shit loading, superman 64 stuff, creepy romance and shitty Silver fight.
Why does AVGN get his own review thread?!
That's the thing, he's actually really damn funny when he makes subtle comments about oddities within the game. The faux-angry gamer shtick is old at this point.The reverse middle finger got me good. He is not just swearing and anger, he makes genuienly funny comments.
One of these is not like the others.
Fans have been bugging him nonstop to do one so it's overdue.This is a good video, though i was worried cine Sonic 06 is not a game he usually plays.
