Hello, friends… that’s how people usually open these things, right?

Some time ago, I posted my words for what was going to be a running video commentary of AVGN 100, the 100th episode of Angry Video Game Nerd web series covering the Robotic Operating Buddy peripheral for NES. I will let link to that piece of business and let you read it for yourselves, but to make a long story short, I didn’t like it. Therefore, it sucked.

Well, you’d think I’d have enough to say about that piece of business, but sure enough, that is not the case. Hence today’s post of word wall. I honestly wish I could tell you what compelled me to write more words on the matter, but truth be told, I just felt like it. Not the smartest or shrewdest reasoning, but it’s my blog, nobody is reading this thing anyway, and so why not vent for future generations?

Just a word of warning; if you are a fan of the individual I am about to talk about and can’t stand negativity of any kind, kindly see yourself click the Back button on your browser because I am going to be particularly brutal. Especially as it pertains to an individual who I have followed for six years but chances are that will not be the case anymore. I don’t hate the person; I wish him all the best, but I hate this latest product that he has put out… primarily because it’s not good.

There has been much hype and speculation as to what the 100th episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd is going to be about. Most people thought it would be E.T. Others thought it would be ROB. Personally, I was hoping he would do something totally unexpected and come up with something special. When the episode came out, I sat down and watched it. I hated it. I hated it to a point where I had prepared a script for a future video log. Cooler heads prevailed and so the script was posted on a blog somewhere.

This is my summary of the review after another few viewings… and I still don’t like this episode. I think it’s a pretty pisspoor review and one of the most abysmally produced episodes. If James Rolfe were to shit into a bag and plaster it on the Internet, you’d get this monstrosity.

A little word of warning before we begin; the following overview/commentary is vulgar at times and considerably scathing. My intent is not to cause offence to anyone within the Cinemassacre camp or anyone who might actually like the episode, but to give a very blunt review and commentary regarding my viewing and observations of this 100th episode. This is not a review of the overall AVGN franchise and the direction it has gone, nor is it an attempt to instigate any kind of stupid flame war or hate thread; this is a review of the 100th AVGN and that alone. I may go off on tangent at times, but only as it relates to the 100th episode alone.

Hey, if you like the episode and thought it was the greatest thing ever, then more power to you. It means that absolutely nothing I say here will change your outlook on the product whatsoever and therefore… I honestly don’t know why you’re still reading this. Nothing I say is going to change your mind and it should be only fair to warn you that nothing you say will make me change mine.

And if you feel you absolutely MUST comment, I only ask that you keep it clean and intelligible.

Are we cool on that? Then let’s get on with it.
