actually i started to hate nerdcubed when he really started to go to town with the quasipolitical humor
like it's one thing to see some guy roll in with a big chair covered in guns and be like 'there should be laws against this!' as a joke but its another to just take any situation where someone shoots someone with a gun and go 'gun rights am i right'
i'm not certain if that is the exact scenario (i stopped watching him some time ago) but like that's just forgetin invasive
true, he was waaay too political for the type on content he produced. hell, I even agree with him on a number of points but if that's the content I was looking for then I'd just go and look for it. I also wasn't a fan of any of his edited videos. Too many weird 1-line political jokes, lame puns, and that weird screech laugh he does every loving time. The N3 Completes were always my favorite because you at least knew that the stuff happening wasn't blatantly scripted and a least a little bit genuine.
Anyone else feel like AVGN sort of got disingenuous recently?
Like, even before the movie it started feeling like he was phoning in his reviews?
The whole concept of his videos annoyed me. You can't base a channel off of being explicitly angry all the time because you can't keep it up all the time. He basically has to act (or lie rather, as he's making reviews of things) mad or else he's not making the content he set out to make.
Jon is usually on par, but (and I hate sounding like I'm jumping on a bandwagon) Starcade and Titanic and Food Games have felt... off recently.
Like Jon isn't having any fun doing the videos any more.
There are still glimpses of that in those performances, but a lot of his new stuff also feels forced.
I thought the last two were top of the line, but the titanic games felt forced imo
