"That's my wall you just destroyed!"
Don't you mean poorly jump cut a black tarp onto?

That "get out of my room" thing was barely amusing at all the first time, so of course he did it three or four times more... kind of painful. And yeah, the black tarps were pretty obvious. :)

I like this guy:

He's a sort of mirror image of the angry nerd. He's still funny, but more than that, I find him a lot more personally useful, because these are games I've never heard of that I actually WANT to find.

HVGN is awesome. He's a deliberate inverse of the original and he doesn't pretend to be otherwise. Besides that, like you said, he's actually helpful in recommending great games that almost no one has ever heard of.

Yeah, he's good. I watch a bunch of videogame review shows and stuff on Youtube these days, most of them aren't that great but some are amusing... the Irate Gamer is just such a blatant AVGN ripoff, and so clearly doesn't come even close to the AGVN, that I thought it was worth mentioning... I mean, on Youtube of course AGVN ripoffs aren't uncommon, but the Irate Gamer has to be one of the most straightforward clones around.

I have bookmarks of all my favorite web shows, which include Homestar Runner, Cinemassacre, That Guy with the Glasses, Team Four Star's website (they do Dragonball Z Abridged), Little Kuriboh's YouTube channel (he does Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged), and Vegeta8639's YouTube channel (he and MasakoXtreme do Naruto Abridged). I have deemed them the elites of low-budget online programming. :)

Overall, I think my favorite Youtube gaming channel is this...

Pretty high quality stuff, and lots of videos too. :)
