Trilogy? Not gonna lie, I had no idea there was a third game. I remember playing the second one on a demo at Toys R Us as a kid and being like, "yeah, my mom is never letting get this game" lol

I never got the appeal of even the first game, so... meh. I was more than happy with more linear games like Super Mario Bros. 3.

Loved both of the 16 bit ones as a kid. Hard as hell, but loved the variety to them. Third is bad in every way.

Yeah he better not be crapping on the first two. In a world of good but normal games in the 16 bit era, EJ was different and fun. They tried something different and it worked.

First one was exactly the five star, b-tier bonanza you’d only get in that era.
2nd one was dog awful, though.

I sometimes wonder if Earthworm Jim would have transitioned alright into a different era of gaming if A. Earthworm Jim 3D hadn't been so clumsy, and B. Doug TenNapel wasn't a huge piece of shit.

Oh I'm sure that the fourth game will come out on the Amico any day now... Ignoring that they already announced it isn't...

I don't know why James doesn't just get a buzz cut or something and just wear a wig when he's playing AVGN.

I tend to find the, "Just give it up, let the hair go," stuff really gross? Like, I don't think that looks good, but if he prefers having some hair over none at all or genuinely likes how he looks or whatever then what business is it of anyone else's?

I have sort of gotten used to his hairline by now, I think. I just shave my head and think it looks good, but I get that's not what everyone wants to do.

Who knew someone's hair was the defining factor to a video game reviewer?

Loved Earthworm Jim 1, I don't think I ever played 2... I know I never played 3 because I could tell just looking at it how bad it was going to be... I did also really love the cartoon. I sometimes wonder if Earthworm Jim would have transitioned alright into a different era of gaming if A. Earthworm Jim 3D hadn't been so clumsy, and B. Doug TenNapel wasn't a huge piece of shit.Just reading up on him now as I'd no idea, what an absolute shitbird. The Good News is he sold all the rights to Earthworm Jim at some point.. except I think the comics because for some reason he thought that's where the money was... I know there was talk of a new Earthworm Jim cartoon coming out and flat out saying that Doug is not involved and is getting no money from it. It's also how everyone should have realized the Earthworm Jim 4 for Amiico was bullshit because Interplay owns the rights to hte property.

I'm just glad he had something to say about the games themselves and didn't have to go off on non-sensical tangents about the gross things ancient Gods did just to fill time... Yeah, I haven't gotten over that Kid Icarus review yet.

I guess maybe since Doug's a "Comic Gate" guy and Earthworm Jim presumably gives him some sort of credibility, at least in his eyes, versus if he had nothing people would remember.

It because Tommy "I never lie in a day of my life *wink*" Tallarico say that he got the rights to make a earthworm jim game for the Amico from interplay, even through it well known now that he was just talking out of his ass like everything else that had to do with the amico or his career.
