I prefer AVGN, plus this guys is way too clean cut...where`s the "I`d rather eat a roadkill skunk and wash it down with beer"!!

This guy needs to develop some sort of personality. I felt like I just watched a wikipedia article or something...

^ He`s a "Historian". Of course he`s gonna be bland and boring. Still, informative.

AVGN is fun to watch but the over use of toilet jokes makes it kinda stupid and annoying at times. And this guy is very informative but bland.

We need something in between these two.

I played Pac-Man and ET for Hours when I was a kid. I don`t know what all this talk about how bad the game were. Everything sucked back then, you played Atari or watch "The Smurfs" repeats. There wasn`t much thought put in to any kid toy or shows.

Am I the only person that wonders if this guy even alive in `83? He knows his stuff, but still, just curious.

I will never forget the first time I saw an NES. My friend`s grandma ordered it for him from a catalog before it was available in stores. He had that Robbie the Robot thing. I still don`t know what that thing did.

I can`t say he "ripped off" avgn but avgn did touch on this topic, specifically the part where he talks about playing games from one console on another

Anyone can just simply google the 1983 crash and he forgot to mention the the SEGA arcade comeback that started the new boost of life in the gaming industry...

I really wouldn`t call it a AVGN rip off. Where AVGN hits on these topics in seperate and spread out videos, just covered the whole issue in one go. Bit boring voice but good info.

Funny, I figure through that crash I just played Atari 2600, Commodore 64 and Apple games until Nintendo showed up. Never noticed a crash with all the video games I was playing.
