Move over, AVGN...

Here's the new face (and neckbeard) of gaming review shows.




Even though he's "The Underthinker", he still makes more sense than 99.9% of youtube reviewers.

Edit: All 'tubed up for your convenience.

Seems more like a Game Overthinker parody.

Does anyone have any original ideas anymore?

[JDviant]

people reviewing games in general hasn't been original since...the 70's? Maybe the early 80's when they went more mainstream?

When the rage was "Irate Gamer is ripping off AVGN!" allI could think was that both of those guys are just my friend John anyway.

My bro was gonna do one where he didn't know what the hell he was doing as he reviewed, ala DrunkenPunk aka Irate Bulls*** show...just without it being a knock against a game reviewer.

Anyone else done that? I would assume so, but just wondering.

I was going to review video games while spelunking, if anyone's interested.

If that's what you want, the internet, and especially Youtube, isn't really your place.

I wasn't sure if you were serious, but I found it funny anyway.

Nothing new under the sun, as it's said.

Seanbaby was doing reviews of bad games long before AVGN (only problem was he only used pictures and didnt show how bad the gameplay is, you can make any game seem good or bad via screenshots).

[theryno665]

I've been thinking about doing reviews about the most random video games and movies I could think of, only not really care about it. I'd call it the Apathetic Video Game Dork. Well, maybe not.

Plus, I don't have a camera. :-(

He didn't need too, that's what the journalism degree was for. Back before the internet, Magazines is all we got, and when the internet was introduced, it was awhile before Internet streaming was introduced. Back in those days, you had to use your gut feeling and use the reviews as opinions, these days, if a reviewer (Or bloke with a Youtube account in this case) say the game is horrible, then everyone agrees. I hate it when people or (Youtube members in this case) kiss these guys asses like they know everything about gaming, because they completed Final Fantasy VII without sleep.

Maybe that's why gaming was enjoyable back then, these days when it's more serious than my sig.

The problem is AVGN (and Nostalgia Critic for that matter, not sure about spoony or linkara or the other top reviewers out there) dont REALLY hate the stuff they review, theyre just focusing on the negative aspects and emphasizing them for humor. The imitators just take games they truly hate and just do angry rants on them.
