This is probably one of my favorite AVGN episodes and it's one that stuck with me to this day. The jokes, the review and the overall tone of this is my favorite, I grew up during the era when Lara Croft was still big and Core was releasing these games. The 90's and the early 2000's were something special and I am glad the Nerd is touching upon the history of these games.

[@nashthrashington9749]

AVGN is the only Internet series I enjoyed when I was twelve and still enjoy ten years later. I think it works so well because it's relatable for all ages. Children relate to the frustration of shitty games and adults identify with the cynicism of going into something knowing it'll suck. That's why it holds up so well. The swearing and over the top skits only enhance this. The Nerd is simultaneously ridiculous and believable, because his character is somewhere in between the frustrated child and cynical adult, which resonates with the audience.

[@whattheheck1000]

If he didn’t review newer games than he used to his audience would shrink. Back in ‘06 when AVGN got big the people in that 18-34 demographic were born in 1972-1988 and hence many of them grew up on NES. Now 18-34 is 1984-2000, many of whom grew up on the PS1 and newer systems. The older part of this group grew up on Genesis, SNES, even NES era, and of course you can still watch AVGN and find it funny at 35+ so he still has a lot of his original fan base too. But even they probably played the PS1 and newer systems as teens and/or young adults. October 3, 2018 3:15 am

I love how AVGN uses the cheap Hydlide remix instead of the actual Indiana Jones theme

[@robertsides3626]

I don't think he wanted to evoke the godly wrath that is George Lucas.

[@drewwelbourn3961]

You mean Disney?

[@stormerbuzz352]

Its more on theme

Oh yeah. I guess I'm still in denial.

Seriously admiring James' dedication and effort in building those dioramas for the sake of one review video.

[@frostare]

AND add that to the effort ofputting himself through these games

[@ElBribri]

AND add to that the effort of shrinking to fit in there...such dedication

[@TheNightwing80]

He didn't, Tony and Nikki from Hack the Movies did. It's written at the end of the video.

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

Ah my bad. Practical effects are something that James did a lot in his reviews, & some of the props seemed to be reoccurring stuff from his past episodes so I figured he and his team build them similar to the stuff he used in the Flying Fuckernauts vs The Astro Bastards video.

[@RamsTheNameCom]

If you thought "Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness" was bad on the PS2..... Oh boy, believe it or not there was also a DVD player version of the game...... Where the game plays itself and you command it using basic JRPG text mechanics.

Now I wanna [play that lol

The Hydlide music when referencing Indiana Jones is hilarious. Great throwback.

[@UndertaleFan-cx2mc]

Yeah. And then the games were reviewed months later. Wait, was the foreshadowing? (But yes, I see what he was going for.)

One of my greatest memories, was my 12th birthday. I had a couple friends over to sleepover and one of my friends showed me the fucking Nerd. It's was ironically Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout, and I've been watching ever since. Still friends with him too, one of my best friends actually. Good times. Simpler times. :)

[@bullylowenthal2683]

Same feeling of nostalgia. I was ten when I checked him out. Now I'm 19 and I'm glad he still not only got it but making videos and entertaining us.
