[@DavidRYates-bx9qg]

I enjoy watching someone play. I mean, I play games for the story, so if someone is playing a game with a good story and not just skipping through everything, I will enjoy watching them play. My brother and law one time started playing Injustice on his PS4 when I was at his and my sister's house, and he asked me if I was okay just watching, and I really didn't even understand the question. I was just like, "Of course, why wouldn't I be?".

[@SC4211]

It also depends on the person playing the game in many cases, myself included. Just watching someone play without much substance and leaving in dull parts is awful, but people who make it entertaining like Dashiegames and cr1tiKal (or however he spells that goddamn name) are quite fun to watch just to see their reactions, especially to off the wall games, or games with insane difficulty.

notlame9000 Pretty sure that's called "Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed". If you want them running, well you're shit outta luck.

[@CMSonYT]

Siveon Transformed (or whatever the sequel is called) is a very excellent racing game, at least for gen 7.

[@AlluMan96]

CMSonYT I'd put it past the gen 7 era & put itself as on the map as one of the better kart racers ever. It pretty much pulled the Crash team racing trick of refined copycatting & much like CTR, it was able to be a success even with it's simularities, only instead of going for conventional Mario kart, it instead geared towards Diddy kong racing. Well, calling it "Copycatting" is a bit rough, as they still pulled their own twists to the tale. Shifting between the 3 vechicles between matches & levels that alter between laps are things that give Transformed it's own identity

Imagine being ten years old and having James as your grandpa, and one day, just days before Christmas, when he comes over for the holidays, he wants to reminisce and tell you about how things were when _he_ was a kid. He'd be telling you stories about how when things used to be written on paper, how there was a time when no internet existed, no social media or cell phones, and how the crappiest videogames were made and charged for half the price than what a typical videogame costs today. He has so much memorabilia and just the best way to remind us all of a time that feels so long lost. The work James does is an art that no one can match.

[@gantzisballs]

+TheLastBabyMan There have been many cultural changes in America since the 1980s. Guns aren't advertised as openly, but we allow more open carrying than ever before and gun ownership is at an all time high. Total murders per capita in 2015 are less than half as high as 1990, but the number of mass shootings is WAY higher. The cultural perception the media portrays is that back in the 1980s and early 1990s the murder rate was higher, but it was just gangsters killing gansters, whereas now it is crazy people killing random people. This perception isn't actually accurate, but it feels that way to old white people, and our media is almost entirely owned by old white people.

Cannot allow ignorant, erroneous statement stand unchallenged.... Otherwise, other people will think that's the truth. Cannot let anti-freedom get away with their lies in order to win their culture war....

"What bad Sonic games?" The Nerd has been living under a rock. A rolling rock.

[@Estwood9]

There really aren't that many bad sonic games. IMO

[@thomasfairfield9734]

azn1011 There were quite a lot of bad Sonic games even when the series was known for good ones. It's just most people preferred Game Boy to Game Gear, whereas SNES vs Sega Genesis was more evenly split; therefor, most people only played the Genesis games. I actually got a Game Gear first, and so I'm more familiar with bad Sonic games than I would like to be.

[@comicking428]

Bad Sonic games don't compare with what the Nerd's sat through!

[@NinjaRed5000]

Never thought I'd see the day AVGN would review a Gamecube game....let alone Shadow the Hedgehog, a guilty pleasure of mine.

[@mu11668B]

Parents: What would you like for Christmas? Kid: *I want that full auto AK-47 on page 69! It's so cool!!*

[@rainingblood5275]

I want a pistol

[@lindsc6293]

Pretty sure it ain't gonna be fully automatic but semi-auto is good enough for any kid on the nice list! Just keep it away from the naughty little shits, they do nothing but give law abiding gun owners a bad name and weird pathetic liberals more ammo to grab anything that goes bang.

[@kellychuang8373]

Which in our times this wouldn't happen.

[@cbinthebibledaily2840]

Do kids sit around and watch video games ??? Yes ,they watch you play them James :)

[@wolf397]

Ahhh, Christmas catalogues. Those were the times.

[@MegaTetsu98]

I watched this twice and I'm feeling now the christmas spirit ! It's amazing to see those old magazines and feel like a kid again :) Thanks James !

[@zunazuzareska2979]

“Sonic Blast?” “Should’ve been called Sonic SLOW ASS!” Lol! XD

[@MikeBertelsenDK]

"Is that what kids do these days, sit around and watch videogames"... Well AVGN... Here we are...

+Matthew Champlain one of the best descriptions of sonic the herrghog yet

[@Mushroom378]

"Scare up some fun" Perfect description to ghostbusters. Because you don't have fun playing this. Fun is scared.

[@markhewitt4307]

Sears Christmas wish book was the best! I remember being at my grandparents house looking through them over and over. Circling just about everything and creasing pages..lol. Much simpler times.

[@smonkerino]

Who said Sonic 06 at 8:57?

[@caprilaser3]

Quality! Some fresh content from AVGN :) looking forward to part 2

[@Albertosn3]

Shadow the Hedgehog was one of my favorite Sonic games...I get the confusion on the story, but I don't get why people seem to detest the game so much :/

[@metallicakevin1]

yeah, was super fun :D the music too (Magna fi & Crush 40)

[@camulodunon]

"So son, what do you want for Christmas?" "I want a Sega Genesis, a set of TMNT action figures, and a Remington 700."

[@arbitor365]

3:30 that sounds like the plot to "blood diamond" more than zelda

[@nothinghere8123]

i ask my dad for a M1 Grand for Christmas let's say i had a fun Christmas

[@I-didnt-ask-you]

@CumFilledCoffin wasn't that 1944 for the eastern front?

[@I-didnt-ask-you]

I wish I got a grand for Christmas. But a Garand is nice too.

[@mrboomsnook3671]

Careful that you don’t get garand thumb

[@TheEpicDiamondMiner]

It’s GArand

[@mrboomsnook3671]

stuart young Jesus Christ that’s fucked up

[@LavaSharkk]

AVGN just reviewed a GameCube game. now that's when I start to feel old.

[@WskOsc]

Watching AVGN always makes me feel old. Even though the Atari and NES were before my time I grew up with them, and even older systems and even though I'm probably younger than James he still manages to make me feel like an old git for playing Moon Patrol and Missile Command as a kid.

[@byrdman82]

I miss those wish books. I loved just browsing through and imagining having the things I wanted. Some I did get. Awww memories

[@Dennisjay9]

This is almost a full year old and it feels like I only watched this a few mouths ago.....Time really flies

[@half_digested]

😮

[@WraysCustoms]

"Sonic hasn't had a good game in a decade" Good Sonic games made in the last decade that I personally recommend: Sonic Generations, Sonic Colors, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic 4 Episode 2, Sonic Colors DS and Sonic Generations 3DS. The different versions are nothing like their console counterparts, and are just as good. Some have said that Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal is another decent one, but I haven't played it. There are good ones, but you have to be extremely selective about which ones you try.

[@joeganbogan270]

You forgot the Advance series. The best Sonic games

[@loganfravel204]

Not to mention sonic adventure,sonic adventure 2,and sonic heroes.

[@samanthawhite2801]

"Imagine buying this shit for $50 bucks. Nowadays releasing a game this short would never be excusable" : MGS Ground Zeroes?

[@In4m8ion]

Ground Zeroes has easily 15 to 17 hours of content. Just because you COULD beat it in only an hour or so isn't to say its content is minimal. I can beat skyrim in about 2.5 hours, but there is a shit ton of content besides main story path.

[@In4m8ion]

Well as the average review put content time at 15+ hours, so complain if you wish, but seems like the peoples who's job is to look at these products, got plenty more than 70 minutes of content out of it. www.giantbomb.com/reviews/metal-gear-solid-v-ground-zeroes-review/1900-636/ Alex never bluffs his reviews. Also I wasn't referring to simply replaying the game over and over, but exploring and enjoying the content, not just main pathing the story mode. I mean technically people beat Castlevainia in 13 minutes, but this is considered a classic game is it not? Just because some people only get a small amount of time doesn't set that as its standard.

[@spooks320]

"What bad Sonic games?" Oh dear

[@Luigi7777]

Where do we begin? 😄

[@Luigi7777]

@LiamPlaysGamez future Sonic games would like a word with him, looking at you Sonic Boom! 😄

[@Silvergun_Raven]

I still have those catalogs in the attic and I remember circling the games I wanted! I also used to smell the pages of those new catalogs... it had that good, new kind of smell; I was weird, lol.

[@TheDJGrandPa]

I do that all the time, nothing like that new papery-plastic smell. Probably gives you cancer or something, but it's worth it, lol

[@Daniel15au]

10:56 What a creepy talking animation. O_O

[@Entropy3ko]

To be honest the internet kind of ruined a lot of things. Yes getting stuff online is easier and more environmentally friendly than having those catalogs, but damn, it was so nice to browse those pages!

[@nyodesu]

3:21 I didn't know Mario was a Hunter. *Looks at Yoshi's Safari* Hmmm, *COINCIDENTAL FORESHADOWING!*

[@gutturalemesis]

Hey! Sonic R was fun. Control was SHIT, but the gameplay was still fun. Plus! - the soundtrack. Oh, that soundtrack.

[@sonicmario64]

I'm glad I wasn't the only person who enjoyed "Sonic R", and it's actually one of my guilty pleasures. ;)

[@DavidRYates-bx9qg]

I feel very nostalgic about it. My dad (ironically my phone is logged into his email for some odd reason and I'm using it to post this, and the picture is him... Weird, huh?) got it for my sister and me when we were younger and we'd always play it, and be terrible at it. I just remember enjoying the atmosphere of some of the stages and the music.

[@MSNDBZ24]

How can it have shitty controls (i.e. Not playing well) but have great gameplay? Jesus H Christ.

[@sonicmario64]

The controls weren't exactly broken, but they do take some time to get used to once you figure out what they're for.

[@sonicmario64]

Davis Productions It obviously stands for "racing" because of it being a racing game, although not exactly a perfect one to play.

[@mvagame6278]

I loved the 'Where's Waldo?' or here in the UK it is known as 'Where's Wally?'. They had them in the library in primary school but there would be that one asshole who would circle where Wally/Waldo was which would take the fun right out of it...

[@StasherDragon]

5:59 Sweet, I'm not the only one who says, "Bass ackwards."

[@AstalThe9]

03:12 That Turtles Sleeping Bag stuck with me for the better part of a decade. The design was almost completely faded by the time it had to be chucked. Nice nostalgia shot.
