Us shmup lovers, on the other hand, can barely tolerate all you casuals, and don't consider any of your "RPGs" or "FPSs" to be REAL video games.
You can't even pronounce "RPG" or "FPS" like you can "Shmup"

Arpuhguh? Fffpiss? Bah!

"Shmup" is far more elegant!
:lol: :lol: at the both of you. :mrgreen:

Seriously laughed out loud at this one. :lol:

I actually really enjoy the AVGN character, and Rolfe's juvenile humor. I watch a lot of his other short films and really enjoy his work as a whole. I hate it when people rag on me about watching his stuff. Although I agree with a few points he makes here and there, I watch AVGN for entertainment and lulz. Same goes for a lot of the "reviewers" I watch.

If I want to know if a game is a good or bad, I'll play it. If I want to laugh my ass off, I'll watch somebody else play it on YouTube. meh...

Pretty much this. Sure, sometimes he pushes things a bit too far and gets a bit on the annoying side, but as a whole I'm always eager to watch anything new he puts out.

Some of his best stuff though, if you ask me, are when he more or less drops the humor for a while and starts delving into cool history or trivia about whatever game or system he's reviewing. The Swordquest episode is pretty neat for that.

Yeah Rolfe's series of Castlevania reviews was pretty awesome too.

Which ones do you think had a good story?
I actually really liked FF6's story. The fact that the villain *minor spoiler* actually succeeds for a bit really made it stand out from other JRPGs. I agree with ZeroAX that Kefka was a better villain than Sephiroth. Some people may say that he was too one- dimensional but to be honest, that is what made him so much more terrifying and a stronger villain. He didn't need some really drawn out character development or backstory, he was just plain evil and I liked that.

I think FF6 had more awesome moments than most other series do combined. The plot was all over the place, but the character work and setting was awesome. I'll never forget the Floating Continent.

AVGN's a character. The whole original premise was just some middle aged guy who never could get over those games that frustrated him as a kid.

Yeah, exactly. I like a lot of his videos and his character. I just don't like when people take him too seriously.
