Irate gamer. Not due to "stealing Material", he sucks cause his humor is reminiscent of the way WWE scripts John Cena.

How do you mean "clone"? Swerves and plays? Bah nobody is worse than Irate Hack. What about other guys? Do they "steal"?

As far as I know, the Irate Gamer is the only one who blatantly stole some of the AVGN's material (or at the very least he's the only one who became prominent), but others have certainly copied his style. Of course the problem is that most of them seem to think that just yelling and swearing a lot is enough to be entertaining, when in reality there's a lot more to James' appeal than that.

What's the deal with The Game Dude (Alexander4488)?

I really used to like the "Games That Suck" series posted by Armake on youtube. That was my introduction to that style of video. Since then I've watched a few different people.
I'm not a fan of the Irate Gamer. He just doesn't do it for me. I simply don't think that he's very entertaining.
I know I've seen other guys do that type of video, but none are really standing out.
AVGN is my absolute favorite. He just puts so much work into his vids and is laugh out loud hilarious. I still like the old Armake vids too though. He seems very natural and really makes me laugh hard at certain parts.

I think James Rolfe has nailed it with AVGN. He clearly has a passion for what he's doing and that shows through. Plus his videos are often as interesting as they are funny or entertaining.

The Irate Gamer is awwwwwfullllllll Does anyone count HVGN? He's pretty great. I'd have to say this, although he's more of AVGN good tiwn brother rather than a clone...

Nothing to see here, move along. Wait, what happened here? Oh god, the GD is like Candlejack isn't h I'm guessing that's The Game Dude's account? Or could it be someone pretending to be him?

Game Dude legitimately scares me because he doesn't even pretend not to be an AVGN fanboy. I mean, he's a SERIOUS AVGN fanboy. We're talking stalker material. If James Rolfe turns up brutally murdered tomorrow, GD will be the culprit.

And he has the comedic timing of a brick to the face, and is just as funny. And he thinks that he's a writer because he has an English degree. And he's taken to filming his Power Rangers self-insertion fanfics lately. And his 'criticism' consists mainly of nitpicking. Lewis is a hell of a nice guy, I just want to slap the smug out of him is all.

Lewis is a hell of a nice guy, I just want to slap the smug out of him is all. First off...well, crap. I'm almost done getting an English degree and I wanna be a writer. You mean that ain't all I need?! I remember watching the triple-review he did alongside Spoony and the Nostalgia Critic. You could tell he was 3rd out of 3 in that group. But then again, even Spoony is a far cry from the Nostalgia Critic (you wanna talk about someone that needs the smug slapped out of him, Spoony'd be #2 on my list behind Kirbopher). As for the topic at hand of best, I've always loved PlayItBogart. He's gone a long time without a review though. He switched names to IndianaBelmont, but hasn't done anything other than repost what he did before as PlayItBogart. The HVGN is good too. I also like JonTron, he is new somewhat to the game but I love his stuff. His newest one was epic. Honestly, the man deserves to have his views in the millions IMO. LANGUAGE WARNING! I also liked UrinatingTree when he was posting, but I haven't seen a sign of him in eons now.

Seanbaby lost me once he started throwing in the homosexual remarks. Which, that was pretty early on. I know EGM was a rag of a magazine the last few years of its original run, but how he got a regular feature printed by that point, I'll never know.
That's not saying that poop jokes are some higher form of thought-provoking commentary, mind you.

I'd load pretty much all of Blistered Thumbs and Channel Awesome into a rocket and fire it into the sun (and this includes all the f***ing fanboys who do nothing but upvote mediocre videos and constantly kiss staff ass). But not everyone. LordKat (though he's no longer with the site), The Cinema Snob, Phelous, Roo, Ashens, 8 Bit Mickey, Nash, Apollo Z. Hack, MikeJ, Lupa and PushinUpRoses would be spared, the latter two for sexual purposes. I would also spare Handsome Tom on the condition that he and Stuttering Craig kiss and make up so Tom can rejoin ScrewAttack and make it not sucky again.

Add the Video Games Awesome crew (been a fan of theirs since the first video), and you got it.
