AVGN and Nostalgia Critic are actually buds, they made a short film togetehr. It's on AVGN's site.Irate gamer is a douchebag copyer of AVGN.
we all know that, they did that fight thing to gain publicity and because they like that sort of stuff.i'm not sure if AVGN has a youtube partnership, i know nostalgia critic doesn't. they make their money off their own sites with merchandise and advertisements. avgn also does work for companies because he just likes making videos.
He works for SpikeTV making old reviews and stuff. I really tend to like his Spike reviews more because he's a great speaker, makes a lot of good points. I don't like AVGN as much because of the dumb insults he hurls and all the references to stuff and whatnot. It's not as engaging as an intellectual review like Plinkett.
I find their insights very... insightful... and they can both have their comedic moments.
Don't forget AVGN's catchy theme music
I enjoy both. I kinda like NC a bit more except his voice his oh so earpiercing most of the time.
