Wow, someone really did port Doom to the Commodore 64: I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  |

Is this about the game or his hairline?

One of my favorite things, is seeing all the things people have gotten DOOM to run on.
McDonald's cash registers, a digital home pregnancy test.
It's amazing.

Yeah, I love how creative and intuitive some people are in getting it ported to so many weird things. Like a commercial kitchen appliance, for example! |

Was surprised that James managed to get John Romero himself to appear (or rather, do voice over) for this episode. |

Again a sign that Mike Matei is getting more and more involved on the side with giving James ideas for episodes.
Since I don't believe that this episode is a coincidence after Mike played various console ports of Doom in the past month.

The PS1 port is awesome. My favorite non PC port.

Is this about the game or his hairline? Whoa. I haven't watched a recent AVGN in awhile (but have been revisiting his Monster Madness stuff) and whoa, he's got like 3 or 4 years left before that hairline is way too far back. |

Lol I too was thinking of how bad his hairline looked granted mine is not any better at all. Like at this point it is almost a case of "just shave your head and embraced the baldness". The episode itself though I won't lie, I actually did not finish (at least not yet) because it was kind of painfully unfunny and even a little annoying.

His hairline is already back there. It’s a mixture of a combover and a frontover mixed in with Toppix. Dude has money for a transplant, I would be doing that rather than trying to salvage anything from my current hairline. |

My question is... He couldn't think of any bad gams to review instead of simply comparing ports of Doom (which has already been done on YouTube before)?

The "AVGN is visited by a character from the game and forced to play those games" thing is so played out by this point... I really prefer his straightforward episodes that are just commentaries on the games without any sketches or skits.

Honestly these review channels need to stop the skits. 99 percent aren’t funny nor interesting. I’ve clicked your video for your review and insight, not your attempt at sketch comedy. |

I actually loved this one and am surprised at the negative reaction here.
Hearing him go on the extended rant about how much he loves the original two Dooms was fantastic. Really a reminder why and how he loves the game and games in general, probably why he's outlasted all of his contemporaries.
Then the run down of all the ports and the specifics of their pros and cons was just the right about of rapid fire before any outlasted their welcome.

I'll also jump on the good review train. I thought it was a good balance humor and insight, and it was pretty great to hear him say there was nothing wrong with the original Doom (something I disagree with, but Better Doom DOES make it perfect).
Also surprised some of the comments here are complaining about the 'character from the game visiting him.' Like, that's been happening since 2006 not sure why it's an issue now and it's not like the Icon of Sin's parts lasted more than 10 seconds each or so.
