You see, that's just the thing.

That was a bit of a shitty move on Craig's part, and I knew this all along. I suppose the only things really keeping me there is what is done by some of the other staff, the only one I really liked much is Destin anyway.

nerd is nice, but he has cheapened his show lately, reviewing too few games, and too little gameplay time.

plus as far as laughs go, nostalgia critic pawns him

You think so? I still think he does a pretty good job. I agree with the fact that he doesn't include enough gameplay though. It seemed a few years ago, even if the game he reviewed was God awful, he would still attempt to beat the game. Now, it seems like we only get a few clips from the first few stages of each game, which is disappointing. I've got some really bad games too, but if I was going to review them, I'd at least try to show my viewers the ending. The ending is sometimes the worst part of a bad game.

exactly. remember how many freaking times he'd try to pass the impossible to beat stages of bad games, in his first videos? now he justs says "it's impossible to beat" and tosses them to the side.

Yeah, we totally agree on that. Sucks too, trying to beat the worst games gave him a lot of credit.

But, I still think his new videos are funny. Maybe not as good as his videos from previous years, but, still humorous.

check the bum reviews, nostalgia critic, and ask that guy with the glasses videos, and then tell me if you think he's still funny

Nerd and Critic go hand in hand to me, and throw Spoony in there as well.
All of them fall flat sometimes, but in general, I think they're all worth watching, and all humorous.
Could they be funnier? Sure, but I still enjoy the effort and time they put into their work.

I can't agree with you on this one. The reviews have the worse cadence I've ever heard, and I have moved from the Midwest to the South. The guy doing the reviews sounds like he's late for something, possibly being late to buy more methamphetamine.
