Better than Irate Gamer?

(odd thread)
Irate Gamer [reviews] classics instead of unknown obscure games which not many recall from their childhood.
I disagree that is a problem with AVGN, without those reviews many of the games he mentioned would have disappeared into obscurity. The whole idea about AVGN was to review bad games, not loved classics.
With the internet, ebay and downloadable roms it is possible to play these old games, it really doesn't matter how rare they are.
The last thing I want to see is yet another review of how great SuperMario Bros is. All the weird games, like Bible Games for example, they have found a new audience thanks to his (and other) reviews. In turn these reviews have pushed the collectible market for games. -

Irate Gamer is a plagiarist douchebag.
And now instead of acting like AVGN doesn't exist, he is showing his true colors and starting to take pot shots at James. I can't say I'm fully behind AVGN anymore but that doesn't make Chris Bores any less of a slimeball. -

I don't hate the Irate Gamer. He's okay, the only thing i like about his show more than AVGN is his random storyline with Satan and his Evil Twin Gamer. Other than that, its pretty much the same thing. I like both shows. but recent AVGN reviews haven't been so great for me.

I find both equally overrated. Neither one of them are, or haven been, any good reviewers or good actors at all. What the AVGN has that the Irate dont have, is that Rolfe seem to actually have some form of relationship with the media he's "reviewing". Bores on the other hand has clearly NEVER in his life had any interrest in video games whatsoever something you can clearly tell by watching his videos.
Nostalgia is what put AVGN on the map in the first place, not his sketches. Bores has never had anything worthwhile watching his shows, beside the unintentional laughs he provides.
