AVGN is a very funny channel but don't tell me people actually took his reviews and opinions as gospel? This video is hilarious but it revealed to me he is absolutely dogshit at the games he plays, how can he not grasp the inverted song of time or.. using a bank to deposit money?
>>12483614His criticisms are valid, but it's a deeper discussion and I don't care about the game enough to stay here arguing.
>>12483618It was just nothing but nitpicking the most minor of things and pretending they were bigger problems then they actually were, combine that with him clearly not knowing how the game works and you get people who will parrot his talking points in any discourse of this game which has happened before, he should just stick to the games he knows best like castlevania or 2D zelda.
>>12483614I think there's a lot of people who are too autistic to understand that the videos are skits and he's playing a character. Maybe there's some truths mixed in but it's meant to be entertainment and not a serious review.
>>12483614I was watching way back when he started in the late 2000s and I always took it as a joke when he shat on decent games. I don't know what kind of retard you would have to be to take any of it seriously when every other sentence is a shit joke and he literally SHITS on Bugs Bunny's face, but there are a lot of retards out there I guess. It's not a fucking review show. It's sketch comedy.
>>12483614>AVGN is a very funny channelAt one time, before 2011. The tragedy of avgn is that the audience was too autistic to know he was playing a character and did influence a lot of reputations of old games. It's supposed to be a nitpicky manchild reminiscent of you getting mad at getting stuck at a game, but with a hint of genuine nostalgia like those castlevania episodes. I wouldn't take it too seriously, and at a certain point the episodes stopped even being written by him. At a certain point it becomes unrecognizable 0% him. I haven't watched this or other newer ones
>>12483626It's called autism. I'm not even saying that as a joke, people with autism legitimately can't detect sarcasm and jokes sometimes.
>>12483638I've seen people in the alien abduction community say the same about aliens. They don't understand humor. Humor is a uniquely human trait.
>>12483647Congratulations, you have reached the end of the internet. It's true: autists are aliens.
>>12483614I assume this episode came out after he started getting other people to write scripts for him? I cant believe people still watch this guy. I remember he put out a video about how he needs to make his videos shittier so he can make more of them to provide for his family. Imagine thinking thats something you should tell your audience. When the videos become a formula you need to get out.
>>12483614The logic behind the bank in MM IS stupid though.
>>12484060>The logic behind the bank in MM IS stupid though.How so? The main gimmick of the game is you constantly will be resetting time to the dawn of the first day, a consequence of that is losing all your items so the bank is a risk-free safe haven for your rupees (even then you can easily get them back by just abusing the chest in clock town).
>>12483671>autists are aliens.Just like octopussies
>>12484071No the logic how it works in universe.
>>12484087I didnt watch this stupid video but I always assumed the banker stamped you with something that lets him know the balance of your account. So regardless of how many times you go back in time the banking information is with link, not the banker, he just checks it and sees how much money you have.
>>12483625/thread
>>12484119Yeah thats stupid.
>>12484141wait until you find out the game involves traveling through time, absurd!
>>12484119So you lose your arrows, bombs, rupees and everything else except some stamp that would probably wash as soon as you went swimming? The link is actually dead theory is less retarded.
>>12484181What are you talking about? Most stamps last for years, it makes sense.
Wow, this thread is still up?
>>12484209Why wouldn't it be?
>>12484214AVGN fans don't like when their idol is remotely criticised
>>12484149Why would the banker keep a record of the money he's holding on the person rather than on himself. That's retarded. Don't defend the devs not thinking of a better way to deal with keeping money between resets.
>>12484218>Why would the banker keep a record of the money he's holding on the person rather than on himself. Because he says the first time you speak to him that basically nobody uses a bank, you being the main person who uses it gives him a reason to keep constant track of you.
>>12484214E Celeb threads were instantly deleted for years because faggots kept spamming the board with them
>>12484207No they don't, do you mean a tattoo? Either way if it lasts for years how does he change the amount on it?
>>12484219But he doesn't keep track of you. You keep track of yourself which is insane.
>>12484234He stamps your hand, though. It's very official.
>>12484218good game design takes precedence over narrative continuity
>>12484228that was the old janny. also if game center cx threads are allowed avgn threads should too, james started before yt even existed. other yt fags should not be allowed tho
>>12484238In this case having both is not difficult.
>>12484237Why doesn't the stamp disappear between cycles though?
>>12484246You're still the same person even if you restart the cycle and go back, nothing about you actually changes.
>>12484241That weeb show has had a thread here since the early days. Eceleb threads always break down into losers arguing about the youtuber, that shit belongs on /soc/ or /trash/
James didnt like Majora's Mask because it needs time management skills and the guy has a massive trauma with it.
I only find the truly-bad game vids like Action 52 funny desu
>>12483614Sadly yes. People still think that the first TMNT game was bad.
>>12484261Except all of the masks and equipment you have.
>>12484338You keep masks and equipment between cycles. Did you play the fucking game???You only lose consumable items (bombs, sticks, nuts, arrows, rupees)
>>12484342My point is that it still doesn't make sense then. What makes money and arrows different from other equipment from an in universe perspective?
>>12484342 (Me)You also lose the contents of your bottles, dungeon keys, fairies and specific quest items (title deeds, room key, letter to kafei, pendant of memories, express mail to mama).>>12484349The fact that they're consumable items in your inventory.
The n64 aged like dogshit from a buffalos anus. >>12483638I can attest to this. My wife is autistic and it was like 5 years into our marriage that I found out she took every sarcastic thing I ever said at face value.
>>12484352>consumable items in your inventory.I know you know what in-universe means.
>>12484354It's a video game. I don't understand why it needs to make sense in universe. You've reset the game. You don't start out with consumables to begin with.
>>12484358>>12484218
>>12484232It's not a tattoo. It's clearly some kind of magical stamp, as he puts it on Link's hand by simply holding his own hand above Link's.
Link being a THIEF is canon.
>>12484349This. Every time you go back in time, you should forget all the songs you learned, so you have to beat the entire game in only 3 in-game days.
>>12483614AVGN looks at games from the perspective of their release era. I love MM but I found it impenetrable as a kid. I didn't know about the inverted song of time. Every forced time loop felt devastating. I ragequit when I ran out of time mid-dungeon (time should fucking freeze in dungeons!). Some of the quests require so much trial and error that they take forever with all the time resets.Again, I love the game. It has issues.
>>12483713Majora was one of the last he wrote himself and it's one of the rare ones where it's mostly an actual review of the game from James rather than Nerd worked kayfabe. He played it himself and we know because he recorded on DVD which no one else does.
Did he seriously think that the ToeJam & Earl video wouldn't get age restricted with that retarded fuck fuck fuck song?
>>12483625Yeah, on his old website half the FAQ entries were basically him explaining in detail that no, these are not real reviews, no, the AVGN is not a real person with real opinions, no, you're not supposed to take these videos seriously, etc etcIt particularly annoyed him that people called Castlevania 2 a shitty game because of his video because he actually liked that game.
>>12483614A lot of these old gaming channels highlight how utterly retarded and full of disinformation things used be. This content isn't really for people who play games and it's mind boggling that people are nostalgic for it.
>>12484418>recorded on DVDffs, he's still doing that?
>>12484437Fucking retard
>>12484297sorry guys, but its 5:40
>>12484441>>12484445so close to quadsdesu James probably finds fatherhood more satisfying than he ever did AVGN considering how serious autists took the "reviews"
>>12484119>I always assumed the banker stamped you with something that lets him know the balance of your accountHe does, he literally tells you this when you make your first deposit.
>>12484404The non retard answer is that there should just be a magic time chest that holds your rupees. In oot you can literally send massive blocks through time.
>>12484404That would've never worked, either it would've been way too Nintentoddler lenient, or most players would've been pissed. Imagine running out of time in Stone Tower and having to restart the whole game.
>>12484404they should also lobotomize you every time you go back in time so you yourself forget the last 3 days and you have to beat the game blind
>>12483614I won't talk about modern AVGN because I haven't watched enough to have a good opinion on it, but the older stuff is very obviously comedy first and review second. Whatever criticism he makes is usually done so he can set up the next joke. Unfortunately Poe's law is 100% real so many people didn't (and even still don't) understand that it's not supposed to be a legitimate review. As for why the gameplay is bad, I know Mike was playing some of the older games (not sure if it was every episode or if it was just the harder games) and I'm sure he's not playing them now so I can't really fault him for that. TL;DR People on the internet are stupid and he doesn't even play the games to begin with. If you want a comfy 2000s retro gaming review channel that's legit then watch some old CGR videos.
>>12483614People did early on. Like Plinkett with Star Wars. It's a shame some people refuse to play games like Simon's Quest or C64 to this day when they're genuinely good games and James was filtered by the latter (former makes at least some sense given he was dealing with the original NES ""localization""). Nevermind Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, that video has tons of dislikes for a reason.
>>12484687I still don't really understand why he wasn't able to place that explosive in CV64. You just go to the wall and press B or something.
>>12484707Is the spot specific for it to work? I've never played it.
>>12483614I had already played a ton of ROMs on NESticle so it was funny to hear someone rip apart the shitty ones. Nothing's the same as that 2000s internet energy.
I really liked avgn way early on. It's been so long since I followed him, all the weird in jokes and memes and lolcow esque following and drama go over my head
>>12484452AVGN was never really his passion project. His friends liked it, the internet liked it, it got him a job and fans, but he was always a movie dude over a game dude(with a bad attitude). Don't know if he still gives a shit about movies either though so doesn't wrote his own reviews anymore too
>>12483614AVGN is classic, and back then a few people did take his views as real criticism, which is odd, but also understandable, and often he makes good points, though there are times it's clear he's exaggerating for the sake of a joke. Anyways, he's past his peak, but I stil enjoy his stuff.
He likes Simon’s Quest
>>12485140This
I like the guy and have seen most of his vids...But it's Seanbaby in video form. He doesn't actually say much about games and is just there for juvenile jokes. Everything he says, everything he pretends to struggle with, is there to make a video with a silly narrative.
>>12483625>I think there's a lot of people who are too autistic to understand that the videos are skits and he's playing a character.Definitely. I have a friend and a coworker who each believe the AVGN is a master gamer and take everything he says as the utter gospel, rather than opinions or jokes.
>>12484957Yeah, but it's the most obvious spot.01:51:00 in this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQwazYorcyE
>>12483614I don't think AVGN has as much influence as he used to when he was talking about NES games that a handful of people actually played. Definitely not as close to as insufferable as the influence that Game Theory had. How many times have I heard people genuinely believe that MM represents the stages of grief and that Link was actually dead the whole time. That shit was more fucking annoying than anything. Luckily it all seems to fade away with time as new generations seem to care less and less about retro gaming.
>>12484687Simon's Quest is a bad game because of the localization but you can't really blame him for shitting on it when that's the only version that most people watching the video would have available to them. Blame the localization team, not the guy who just says the localized game sucks. As for C64, I can't speak much about it because I only played it once or twice at a friends house when I was very young but we both agreed it was awful.
>>12485237There's very little the localization actually hurts. The biggest roadblock in the game is the fact that the hint telling you to duck by the lake while holding the blue crystal is hidden under a random ass block in a forest. It's by far the most difficult hint book to find, and it's the only one that's really crucial.Everything else is pretty obvious. No, it's not that hard to understand you're supposed to duck by the cliff with the red crystal equipped when you already ducked by the lake with the blue crystal equipped, and you did get a hint telling you to go to the cliff with the red crystal. The fags that call that a hard puzzle never played the game.
Hes not very influential anymoreHes a relic of the past, people that still watch know its a joke, it became very obvious once he started reviewing some of hte canonical "top games".
>>12485245Pretty much this. If I watch one of his modern videos, it's just because he's something familiar to put on, an old mainstay that you know is long past his prime but occasionally reminds you of the good ol' days when things were simpler. When I watch him, I don't expect to learn anything or even really laugh much if at all (though I do recall one of his newer videos actually had a single joke that got a chuckle out of me, so props to him and his writers, I guess). It does amaze me that anyone ever took his videos seriously at all, though. Beyond the most obviously garbage games, it was always clear to me he was mostly just taking nitpicked, if legitimate, flaws from otherwise decent games, and turning them into fuel for his raging bits. How anyone missed the fact that his videos were entertainment first and foremost is insane to me.
>>12483614I respect that in spite of his massive popularity he mostly stuck to a niche that was distinct from the mainstream pop retro culture, going beyond the lowhanging fruit classics deep into weird wild west garbage and all the forgotten western consoles and home computers. the second I lost interest in watching was when he was forced to gradually incorporate more well trodden 4th and 5th gen cult games outside of his wheelhouse.
>>12483614>>12483618Dude, that was literally from the Fatso's Slob Era of screenwave where SilverSwine was writing as he was AVGN himself and all James did was read his lines.
>>12485462The issue is, even those less talked-about games he's covered are not entirely unknown and unheard of to his wider audience, or at least the systems they're on are not, so he was bound to start running out of games eventually. For him to put off talking about mainstream well-known classics, he would've had to start covering the REALLY obscure shit on Bri'ish home micros or nip-only consoles and computers, and the issue with that is twofold: one, they're a niche within a niche, so the audience that would appreciate him covering those games is quite limited, and two, he himself is probably not comfortable talking about them. Hell, he barely feels at home talking about the C64, now imagine that he starts covering the Amstrad or PC-88 or whatever in earnest.
>>12484418>Majora was one of the last he wrote himselfJames is writing them himself again as of The Last NinjaAlso this thread seems to assign a binary to AVGN as either just true opinions or pure parody. AVGN is kinda in the middle, it's an exaggeration of frustrating things that happen in a game. EarthBound for example was a very genuine review and I think Majora's Mask was one too. He comes off as the kind of guy that would be frustrated by some of the game's mechanics. And to be fair, I am too, but not by basic shit like the rupee bank, moreso stuff like the Zora Egg quest where you have to repeatedly backtrack through a stealth section.
>>12485510>the Fatso's Slob Era of screenwave where SilverSwine was writing as he was AVGN himself and all James did was read his lines.This era was real but it's not quite that cut and dry. >2017Mixed bag. Most post-Polybius episodes don't feel written by James.>2018After EarthBound the Slobwave era truly begins. This is when Kieran became the main editor and the show suffered for it. Home Alone Games has James's touch on it, but in general this year is almost all Screenwave.>2019He definitely wrote Majora's Mask and I have a hunch he worked on Life of Black Tiger. Other than that, this is mostly Slobwave.>2020I think this one is all Slobwave, though Justin said the part with the dolphin's blowhole in the Ecco the Dolphin episode was James's idea.>2021Fear and Loathing, Commodore 64, Freddy & Jason, and especially the LJN marathon were pretty much all James. The Rocketeer feels more like James as well.>2022 onwardAlmost always James writing the scripts. Kieran stops editing after Kid Icarus.
>>12485462I used to be really enamored by the tiny history lessons he did, even if they were anecdotal half the times. He's remembered for poopoo jokes and a million of rip offs, but I think he pioneered videos taking the history of games a bit seriously too. Maybe not directly or intentionally and he still is the caca guy, but more like how one song can influence a genre
>>12485510I tried to watch a newer episode years ago and felt weirded out about him talking about spawn and wrestling as if he was always into it. Maybe it's the writer, maybe I'm being retarded for thinking I know a guy who I watched in 2008
>>12485745Pretty much everyone was into wrestling during Hulkamania, I can easily see that being the case for him too.
I liked the last episode with Scott the Woz but idk why they felt the need to shit on TJ&E3 for no reason.
>>12483625>>12483626It goes without saying the worst thing that came from AVGN was its imitators. It and Nostalgia Critic had a chokehold on the concept of an Internet reviewer for most of the 2000s and 2010s, which led to hordes of autists doing the same shit they do with less irony, more autistic rage, and worse jokes and quality. The Internet was never a place for sincerity, but people taking these guys seriously only muddied the waters.
>>12486492AVGN copied Seanbaby.
>>12484427This was the first time I've ever actually seen the warning. Oh well, not making a JewTube account just to watch the newest AVGNslop.
>>12486492>hordes of autists doing the same shit they do with less irony, more autistic rage, and worse jokes and qualityI think this had a lasting effect on this site too. Doesn't help that Nostalgia Critic blurs the line between Doug and the character than AVGN and James
>>12485574>2018Oh god, that era was when AVGN started to feel like The Irate Gamer, cringe and overcompensating, SilverSwine even forced James to crossover with Bores, despite that James being VERY WELL AWARE of the plagiarism controversy and probably the cancel campaign against him due to the movie and Cheetahman "scandals", lead by Eric Gaede "Asalieri" (OLd time lolcow and the ArchFiend, and Bores even being involved and making a couple of jab videos with Gaede secretly involved).It felt like degradation and humiliation, fuck Silverswine
So James has been writing AVGN episodes again? That's nice, guess I've got some catching up to do. I've been pretty much just watching his classic films content for the past few years, it's comfy.
>>12486669>>>/v/>>>/kiwifarms/
>>12483614This is my favorite episode of AVGN, it just feels fun and hits on things I only ever see me properly criticize the game for.
>>12485140Bingo. When people take satire seriously, it just proves how deep their psychosis goes. I honestly think part of the reason he's done some positive videos is to try to contain the audience that still don't get it decades later.
>>12486637I was thinking the same thing when I wrote that. It felt like Doug went too far up his own ass by the time he made that review of The Wall, and the criticism he got for it made everyone including himself finally take a step back after a decade.
>>12487136Yep, dumbass nigger troon jannie brains can't comprehend threads for genres with actual high gameplay density, like shmups and discussing fighting games properly, as in against other players.
>>12486717Listen, you will not rewrite this part of history, NOBODY likes the Slobs
>>12485574thanks for this info, man the last 10 years of Cinemassacre have been the worst twilight years they had, fuck screenwave,
>>12487463Yeah, but that doesn't mean we should talk about them, you gossiping little fag boy.
This thread is diarrhea sauce! It's a bunch of fuck and it doesn't belong on this planet!
>>12487109I think that actually ends up confusing people more, even though I always liked it when talks positively or about things he likes. The real James loves castlevania and stuff like godzilla, so people have more if a reason to think he and the nerd are the same
>>12485768Maybe I'm parasocial but I think he would've shown interest in it a long ass time ago like he always did with movies or old metal. Doesn't help that he really hams up the fake rage right from the start, old avgn could be more calmed and subdued ironically enough. It was good build up for the freak outs during the climax
>>12485743Right after this post was made, gaming historian retired.
>>12485743I really liked the Swordquest video and the Castlevania video for this reason. Just the Nerd spilling some knowledge. James is retarded, but he's comfy to watch.
>>12487821I really liked Gaming Historian. His videos were so cozy. I generally don't watch gaming youtube.
>>12487827Norm put in more effort into his videos than almost every other bigger gaming youtuber.
>>12487826It's like the Ultima videos by Spoony. Objectively, those are bad history videos. Dude never even brings up the release years. Barely any context for how gaming and RPG's were at time, especially for how influential the games were. Did he even finish Ultima Underworld?But that doesn't matter because he talks about how HE experienced them, how it felt like playing them, the memories with his brother or his mom hating the pentagram and just admitting he's bad at some of the games. It's just comfy. James was the same with Castlevania or fun videos like the Nintendo Power one
>>12487832>Ultima videos by SpoonyI agree 100%. Fuck, I need to rewatch those soon.
>>12487832>>12487834I feel like your parents didn't hit you hard enough
>>12483618Nahh the guy sucks at playing games just that, i played all the games he played and are easy even finished dr jeckyl and mr hyde for nes not that hard unless you have grandma hands and retard.His criticism fall flat all the time because he is just a retard that just search popular game for clickbait and call it a day even good games or kamige aren't safe from criticism of the turd because just giving bad criticism makes it sure people are gonna watch it even if is just retard opinion.>>12483620Yet he doesn't even know hence he talks.>how are you supposed to know there was a hole in the wall or you had to put bomb in wall.By playing and testing all the walls since manual states "there are lot of secrets behind walls" done and his argument invalid.>in castlevania how werw you supposed to know X stuff.Well even the poor original translation tells you what to do, only people that can't read have issues with games.>i only use real hardwareAnd a lie because is clear he is using emulator because raw pixels unlike softenned image from video capture.
>>12483614Im more of an irate gamer kinda guy. He pioneered avgns style and perfected it.
>>12487817The Nerd is meant to be a character, not literally James, but James was the right age when literally fucking every young man was into wrestling, so I'd absolutely believe he was too.
>>12487840I got my ass whipped by a belt constantly as a kid, what the fuck are you on about?
>>12487840Your parents certainly didn't considering you're still around
>>12487850Yeah I don't give a shit about "rip offs", he was fun to watch for a while, it reminds you that internet drama was always petty and gayA true AVGNiatroid classic
>>12486669is that the racist video game nerd
>>12484207>stamps last for years
>>12484605>The non retard answer is that there should just be a magic time chest that holds your rupees.But then everyone would ask why you can't put bombs and arrows in it and complain about how arbitrary THAT is.
>>12485574>Kieran stops editing after Kid Icarus.I wonder why
>>12486538Happens all the time with RLM videos.
>>12488173It works like a piggy bank. Only rupees fit through the slot.
>>12488190The serious answer is he had enough of Screenwave's bs.
>>12486637>I think this had a lasting effect on this site too.of course it did. in the 2000s this place was mostly milliennials/younger gen X that were for the most part normal in life but just had edgy humor. this site was known as a place where you could blow off steam. yes there were stereotypical spergs but they were in the minority. fast forward to current year and the user base is basically an inversion of what it used to be. original user base is now a minority and this place is now infested with incels, autists that take everything super serial, estranged uncles whose source of news is alex jones and /pol/, and unmedicated schizophrenics that would have been locked up 40 years ago, and shitskins on their androids whose posting habits reflect a bot that just posts the worst thing possible for whatever the thread is. i sometimes wonder what the world would have been like if moot hadn't created /pol/. probably not that much different Tbh. american politics was already on a crescendo in the early/mid 2010s since republicans became buckbroken by a black man becoming president.
>>12488294
>>12484707he showed the correct wall the first time. but then went to the wrong wall when he had the items.probably on purpose for the video.same for getting the mandragora first. there is a waste disposal dump in the room (that he does mention in the video) just so you can get rid of it. no need to restart the whole game.
>>12483614He does shits on videogames he doesn't like.No, nobody took his reviews seriously you fucking moron. They are entertainment. At most (for the better episodes) they are a view into how he reacted to these games as a child. Like Dick Tracy for example
>>12488320This post hurt my feelings. :(
>>12488371>They are entertainmentThis might seem crazy to you but there are people out there who have even gotten their political opinions from comedians.
>>12484605There is though? Ever been to the Clocktown Bank? Bank guy has some kind of magic powers.Also there's 200 rupees in clocktown that take like 40 seconds to get on the first day if you need rupees so bad (you almost never do)
>>12488385Thats not how the bank works. Link is a thief.
>>12488401Well really it only matters on the final cycle before you beat the game if he withdraws anything doesnt it?
>>12488294> i sometimes wonder what the world would have been like if moot hadn't created /pol/. probably not that much different Tbh.That's why containment boards like /pol/ and /b/ exist: to hopefully stop other boards from being bogged down by irrelevant shitposting instead of relevant shitposting. His hand was forced by that point.
>>12488419>being bogged down by irrelevant shitpostingwell that happened anyway largely thanks to non-existent moderation. gookmoot doesn't give a shit about this place and that's reflected in the current admin/mod staff/rapeape as well.
>>12488407By the same logic, I guess Link could just rape and murder whomever he likes becauae they will be restored to their unraped, unmurdered state when time resets.
>>12483614James just isn't very good at actually playing games. Mike Matei was the real gamer of the two but he just doesn't have the personality to really carry a youtube channel on his own though I still occasionally watch his videos.
i dont think he’s that funny. and youre right. he definitely did more harm than good for retro. he effectively created an army of whiny nitpickers. and yeah I get that he personally probably has a lot of love for these games, but the cultural effect is clear, and that effect is reddit
>>12488437>he just doesn't have the personality to really carry a youtube channel on his ownIronically though the scripts where he was involved were funnier and oftentimes more interesting.
>>12488385Did you even read a single thing in the reply chain before you decided to say something retarded?
>>12488435If he needed to rape and murder to save Termina then sure and it all gets undone then yeah sure.Luckily Nintendo didn't write MM for that to be the case
>>12483614This episode was probably written by the Gengar guy
>>12488456He is but James is just more likeable, Mike just comes off as an irritating retard which is why he was Motherfucker Mike, when filtered through James with his laconic Jersey accent you get actual comedy
>>12484218Because it's a game. This is what it means to be overly nitpicky
>>12488474No, its pretty stupid and messes with links character. Its just the right amount of nitpicking.
>>12488478It's fucking magic dude. The banker knows how much Link's deposited regardless of what cycle it is. For all we know his vault is magic and bends reality/time so Link is only accessing his own rupees anyway. You almost never have a reason to make a withdrawal from the bank anyway. There's rupees fucking everywhere. You can easily get to max rupees on a fresh cycle in less than 5 minutes without the bankYour autism is fucking rampant
>>12488491>The banker knows how much Link's depositedDid you even play the game?
>>12488260Good
>>12488469funnily enough mike streaming on twitch as a hobby nowadays is more enjoyable than any avgn video from the past 5 years.
>>12487834Good luck finding the original versions without the horrible YouTube music removal filter that all it does it's leave the audio in extremely shit quality.If only we had Mel-Reformer AI to do it right.
>>12488478>Mess with Link's characterYou're so fucking forced, dude. Maybe if you're a dumb hyper autist but no, this doesn't mess with Link's character at all. Be less stupid in the future.
>>12488502He's literally stealing money.
>>12488494He makes a magic mark on you to keep track of it. He knows that he wrote the transactions on the mark because who else could even do that?Maybe you should ask, why does he trust the mark he made if he doesn't remember making it? Maybe he knows more than you give credit for.Termina might not even be an actual reality in universe anyway. Would you be mad at yourself if you dreamt about robbing a bank?
>>12488504>why does he trust the mark he made if he doesn't remember making it>He knows that he wrote the transactions on the mark because who else could even do that?Answered your own question.
>>12488506You're an actual fucking idiot. Like seriously stupid.You think he's just forgetful and hand waves something like that? Wow
>>12488508That's literally whats happening. Read the dialogue in the game.>You think he's just forgetful and hand waves something like thatYes, the devs clearly didn't put much thought into the bank.
>>12483614His criticisms about MM were almost all entirely valid. I don't get what the controversy is about this one. Some pretentious fags are just so anti-mainstream that they suck MM's dick no matter what.MM is tedious and unfun and the dungeons suck compared to OoT.>t. 100%'d it as a child and as an adult
>>12488513If you are going to get bogged down on this in a magic dream world reality then you are a retard.There is so much wiggle room here but you are stuck on a banker with a magic invisible bank transaction system saying he doesn't remember you and just shrugging it off and handing out money.Presumably this is the ONLY bank branch in Termina and he is the only person running it.
>>12488549Yes the devs could have put more thought into it. I don't like what it does to links character. Thats it.
>>12488508You can literally show up as fucking goron link and he'll give you money. Are you as stupid as the banker is?
>>12488504>>12488506>>12488508>>12488513
>>12488712me on the left
>>12488435You can murder the bomb bag thief by shooting the bomb bag, can't you?
>>12488859Yeah, you can kill Sakon
>>12483614James is a weird relic from a time where YouTubers had cinematic aspirations to tell stories (even if they sucked) instead of just being parasocial talking head for popular products
>>12488520That episode was still written by the slobs, you can't convince me otherwise.
>>12488898Co-written for sure. James bitching about the powder keg etc was definitely because he was frustrated with that stuff on his own playtrough. It's easy to tell the new episodes where he actually bothered to play the game; Majora's Mask, Earthbound, FF6 and so on.
>>12488437Are there even any big gamer celebs that are actually good at games? Granted, I don't know about, let alone follow, more than some of the bigger names like AVGN or Vinesauce, but the common denominator seems to be that personality and sense of humor is what carries them.
>>12488419/pol/ is not a containment board. Rapeape personally reprimanded mods for trying to enforce it as such and he became de facto admin after moot left, since hiroyuki doesn't give a shit about anything other than money. The mods care more about seething over cartoon horses from a kids show whose target demographic are adults now, than treating /pol/ the way moot supposedly wanted to. moot was never afraid of putting his foot down until he suddenly felt bad for no reason.
>>12488468I haven't watched the show in over 10 years. What's the deal with him? The fatty?James feels like late Stan Lee, like he's just wheeled around to random shit that people signed for him, people who just want to milk him
>>12488943Billy.
I never watched avgn for genuine game reviews and never expected him to even actually be good at these games. I watched him because he would show off weird and old games and make shit jokes and then pee on Fester's Quest while dressed as every character from the 60's Addams Family. You don't know how high of a bar that was for early youtube.
>>12488712>people shouldn't argue about things they care about
>>12489134NTA but maybe a magic stamp thats used as a throwaway excuse to not have to reset your rupees every single cycle it not a thing worth caring about. Then again, like most contrivances, the game could have avoided them by not having the resetting time gimmick in the first place, but it comes with the territory of doing so. Most of the topic is about AVGN anyway and you're just kinda going in circles.
>>12489139>not a thing worth caring aboutWho cares?
>>12489143Thats my point, stop sperging out
>>12489150No my point is why would you care what they care about? People can argue about whatever they want.
