[@kylerenouf6000]

+Masamune Zangetsu he was a kid lol shame on you.

[@pjdougherty6442]

I know, my parents didn't really mind and a lot flies right over a kids head anyway. I haven't seen it since then and the most I remember is the Crow going around fighting criminals like a more edgy version of Batman. I also watched a lot of Bruce Lee movies back then, my favorite was always Enter the Dragon, I really liked that fight scene against the guy with the claw in a room full of mirrors, it wasn't until I rewatched it years later that I even noticed that there was a scene with nudity in it. As a kid, I didn't really give a shit.

[@unclerogelio3636]

ChillDude my parents took me to see the exorcist. what do you think of that ?

[@pjdougherty6442]

As someone who's seen the Exorcist, I find it hilarious. Seeing a little girl cussing up a storm and being so vulgar cracks me up, but back when it came to theaters, it legitimately shocked people, especially super religious parents. People were actually fainting in the theaters, that's how offended they were.

[@GlitchManOmega]

And nowadays, literally anything offends some people. Some to the point where they can make it into a national issue that wastes everyone's time, money, and attention spans. That's scarier than any movie, I say. Like... from how over-the-top some movies were for their time, like Exorcist or even RoboCop, I wonder what their equivalents would be today?

[@bloodstormpro1]

So there was actually an invincibility code, me and my friends used it when we rented this turd for PS1. But there's a catch...If you've seen the equally terrible movie, you know that at the end the main bad guy kills the crow (the bird) and the hero loses his powers. They actually replicated this. Your crow gets killed and the invincibility code gets turned off. So my theory has always been that the game knew how ridiculous the difficulty was and wasn't really meant to be played without invincibility.

[@RoyStantz]

I love the juxtaposition between The Nerd's rage and Board James's rage. The Nerd's rage is comical and over the top, basically just a passing tantrum. Whereas Board James's rage is almost believable, unnerving, and borderline psychotic (or actually psychotic, if you know about his character).

[@pessie83]

The movie 'The Crow: City of Angels' wasn't with the Late Brandon Lee but with Vincent Pérez as the Crow. Brandon Lee played the role of the Crow in 1994 but died when filming the movie. And The Crow: City of Angels came out in 1996. And one of the other roles were played by the late Thuy Trang, Trini Kwan/Yellow Ranger from MMPR.

[@Jared_Wignall]

A lot of hate on the new AVGN stuff. To me I see it like this: James has a lot of things going on. Aside from doing AVGN every other month or so like he's been doing, he spends time with his wife and kid. He does the James and Mike Monday's, and finished Monster Madness recently. Plus he continued Board James this year, so he's focused on a lot of things and it's like AVGN, while originally a huge priority with video stuff, now is an after thought and wants to make the best Nerd episode he can, despite all these things he's doing at once. If anything that's why some of his recent AVGN episodes aren't on par with the older episodes as of late. He does too much at once, when he should focus on one project at a time, that way he can have his personal life and film career balanced out and produce great AVGN episodes along with his other projects.

[@magentas6467]

I salute you.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Thank you sir.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Seth Smallwood Hopefully next year he'll feel more inspired to put more effort into AVGN, since he seemed to be very inspired with the latest Board James episodes. Perhaps that has something to do with it. Doing something for 10 years, and continuing to do it, I'd imagine he'd have to be inspired to keep making fresh and interesting episodes. Perhaps with the story of how Board James and AVGN are now one, he may have more ideas of how to play off of that idea and there could be many possibilities in his head he just needs to plan out for AVGN now, as he's done a great job with Board James, I'd like to see more of how this effects the Nerd now.

[@waineedaname4015]

Honestly, I've been loving what he's doing with Board James. The fact that he managed to fit in an AVGN episodes with all the stuff on his plate like Monster Madness, James and Mike Mondays, as well as being the father of a young child, is absolutely amazing. This Episode may have been an afterthought or maybe he and Mike just wanted a few extra days to edit the Board James movie, or maybe the game just wasn't shitty enough for your tastes. Whatever the reason, if you feel this episode falls flat, look at all of the other entertainment that this guy and his friends are putting a hell of a lot of time into, not just for their own sake but for ours as well. I salute you James and co. You've done well enough by me.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Some people are able to keep up something for along time and keep it relevant. Some not so much. It seems that James has twists and turns he wants the character and show to go, but needs more time to do it. Perhaps next year he'll surprise everyone and make something unexpected.

The Crow is my favorite movie of all-time. I was even named after Brandon Lee.

[@LendriMujina]

Lucky that you were named after a movie you actually liked. I was named after the main character of a movie I ended up hating, "Legends of the Fall". (Which coincidentally came out the same year as The Crow.)

To be fair, a game where people shoot at Brandon Lee was probably thought to be in poor taste

[@quentindugger5389]

Brandon Lee did not play The Crow in the sequel..He was already dead by then.

[@jarkspore]

That’s what they’re saying. Because if they had made a game for Crow 1, it would be a game where people shoot at Brandon Lee. So instead, they made a game for Crow 2, where people shoot at not-Brandon Lee.

[@nicholasgoodard5746]

This makes some sense. A lot of people who were following it were concerned whether or not The Crow should even be released out of respect to the Lee Family. His family said that it should be released since it honored his memory doing what he loved. It went from Paramount, who wanted to release it direct to video, to Miramax.

[@wistful3631]
