What’s this? An AVGN Sketch That’s Actually GOOD???

Primarily focused on the Nintendo World Championship 1990, considered the “Holy Grail” of video games and featuring that NES Punk fellow, Pat. Although it is not the simple back-to-basics episode that was promised, this wasn’t the overblown, overbloated creative abortion like prior AVGN sketch episodes were. It didn’t use crummy special effects, the terrible acting was tolerable, and the narrative wasn’t outlandish. Probably the best AVGN sketch episodes I’ve seen.

(2024 Update: Too much hyper hyperbole? Anyway, replaced the old GameTrailers link with the actual video so you can see for yourself.)

Six Reasons The Guy Fixing Your Computer Hates You

From the venerable genius at cracked.com comes six reasons the guy who you hired to fix your computer hates you. The truly sad thing is that, as funny as this might seem, some of it is actually true.

I took a course in desktop publishing once upon a time and one of the things they teach you is how your computer works and how you can fix it whenever a problem comes up. This was emmencely useful for me because I use a computer a lot and being able to fix these things myself rather than rely on someone else to do it is extremely helpful.

The side effect is that sometimes, I get calls to go over to someone’s house and fix their computers and it’s usually for really minor stuff. Sometimes, it’s to re-install Windows and other stuff like that. But more than anything, the one thing they often say beforehand is that their computer is running slow. Why is their computer running slow?

And so I help with their computer woes… and then two months later, I have to do it again… and this is why I no longer want to fix computers. Not even my own.

In any case, the link is there and it’s Funny stuff. And somewhat of a good point and true to form…

Someone's thoughts on angry reviewing (not mine…)

By the way, this is irrelevant to the video, but I just wanted to tell everybody that ANYONE can do a review. You open Wordpad, you make honest and sincere critics on the game, you post it wherever you want to post it and voilà, you made a review.

I don’t understand how many people think they need to make jumpcuts and cheesy montages to make a good review. Sure, you know how to do a montage, but that’s irrelevant. In general, everyone that does that sounds like a bored robot.

Maybe this is a difference of culture. In France, we had Marcus, who was the reviewer, and showed us the game live. And then, in the internet, Hooper did the same thing but without showing his face, and it worked. Now most french reviewers try to use their styles of reviewing. They have trouble too, unfortunately.

Anyway, I think the most important thing to a review is to be sincere, not funny. Because really, when I think of the AVGN, the IG or the NC, I think of a humor show, not a reviewing show.

I wish someone like Hooper would make reviews and have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, so they’ll be more reviewing styles.

The above words are comments from Youtuber kefkasakura. I may add my own opinion to the whole reviewing cycle (god knows how many times I say that.), but this is close enough to my own sentiments on the matter that I’m willing to repost it here.

Matt Hardy Arrested And Future Endeavored… My Condolences to the Car and Tree

UPDATED: Hardy’s release CONFIRMED on ImpactWrestling.Com

Just got onto the wrestlenewz site and read about these tidbits… rather than try to decipher this stupidity at work here, I’m just going to copy the articles so you can read them here (links to the original stories are provided).

Copied verbatim from wrestlenewz.com:

TMZ.com reports that Matt Hardy was arrested in North Carolina today on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.


According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, a trooper discovered the TNA Wrestling Superstar after his 2009 Corvette ran off the road and struck a tree. Hardy was by himself and did not suffer any injuries.


The trooper observed signs of impairment and arrested Hardy. He was charged with driving while intoxicated and the trooper found no other contraband in the vehicle. Hardy submitted to a blood test, results of which are pending.


He was released at approximately 7:00 p.m.


TNA Wrestling officials reportedly suspended Hardy in June due to continuously arriving late to events and posting a video online of himself urging Jeff Hardy to stun Reby Sky (Matt’s girlfriend) with a taser. He stated last week on Twitter that his time away from the ring has been a blessing in disguise as it has allowed him to completely clean up his life.

You can read the original TMZ story here… and before Matthew can do damage control and tell us not to believe everything we hear on the Internet… get a gander at this…

Again, reposted from wrestlenewz.com:

Following his arrest Saturday in North Carolina for driving while intoxicated, Matt Hardy has been released from his contract with TNA Wrestling.


In a statement released to TMZ.com, an unnamed TNA spokesperson stated, “TNA today released Impact Wrestling star Matt Hardy from its roster. Hardy was already under suspension from the company.”


According to sources within TNA, plans were in place for Matt and Jeff Hardy to return to television in October. Jeff’s status with the company remains unchanged since TNA will be releasing a slew of merchandise in the fall bearing his name including a video title.


Hardy joined TNA last January after being released by WWE in October 2010 following a series of events that caused him to be sent home from a company tour of Europe. Hardy walked out of a SmackDown live event on September 5, 2010 after officials voiced concern over his condition.


During the subsequent weekend’s European tour, Hardy’s condition caused the organization to act. When the story broke online, Hardy responded with a rambling video claiming it was untrue because he was still in Europe. WWE, however, confirmed to NewsDay.com on September 12, 2010 that he had been sent home. He never wrestled for the organization again and was released from his contract a few weeks later.


Hardy stated last week on Twitter that his time away from the ring has been a blessing in disguise as it allowed him to completely clean up his life. He added Friday, “It’s time for me to get back to a healthy, happy place, the transformation his now started for me, for us-(New Chapter Will begin new)”

Original story broke out at TMZ.

Now in fairness, TMZ might not be the most reliable source of news at times, but this is in fact true due to the fact that TNA has posted confirmation on ImpactWrestling.Com, it seems like ol’ Matthew is no longer gainfully employed by TNA and will not likely be offered the best of luck in his future endeavors (since WWE has trademarked the term)… and he won’t be making this kind of self-serving bullshideo.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, I say.

I would feel bad for Matt… but considering how far off he’s dropped and how unlikable he comes off at times, I frankly feel more sorry for the car he wrecked and the tree he ran into than the human being who refuses to get help for the problems he’s enduring… and the same goes for his idiot drugged-out brother, too. I mean, how many “chances” and “fair shakes” are these guys going to ruin before they fuck up their lives? We don’t need another Scott Hall roaming around with demons and such, let alone two more.

Who knew there was a Hulkamania Meatball Maker? 'Cuz I Didn't…

Source: http://wrestlechat.net/hulk-hogan-still-kicking-himself-for-endorsing-a-meatball-maker-machine-instead-of-a-grill/

Anyone who knows the story behind the George Foreman Grill knows that it was originally offered to Hulk Hogan, but since the Hulkster wasn’t home, they offered it to the former boxing champion. Now according to Hogan years ago (on his moderately-lived TV show, no less), nobody was home to pick up the phone when the people behind the grill called his house and they decided to offer it to Foreman instead rather than call Hogan back later… kind of a dick move on their part, but then if they were willing to do that to Hulk Hogan, it should clue people in on what they actually think of the Huckster.

Now while Hogan missed out on the grill, he was able to endorse a blender dubbed the Hulk Hogan Thunder Mixer… but it wasn’t as successful as the grill that would make Foreman millions and indirectly inspire the original design of the Sony Playstation 3.

However, somewhere along the way, he must have changed his story. According to the above page, Hogan told Sam Worthington that he snubbed the grill in favor of a meatball maker. And when asked what about the grill, he allegedly said, “Give it to your other client.” The other client turned out to be George Foreman…

Now, maybe this is Alzheimer’s finally catching up to Hogan or maybe he (most likely) changed the story because losing out on the grill and getting a blender instead didn’t exactly make ol’ Terry look good, but a thorough search on the Internet (by which I mean Google…) makes no mention of any Hulk Hogan meatball maker… but a LOT of mentions (and pictures!) of Hulk Hogan’s Thunder Mixer blender brutha thing.

On the bright side, Hogan did get his own grill years later… so.

RAW (Aug. 15th, 2011) – BREAKING NEWS! Kevin Nash didn’t tear a quad walking to the ring!

Hell of a birthday present, by the way. The follow-up to one of the biggest bullshit moves you could pull off where you have a hot new champion and you job him to a cash-in after getting ambushed by KEVIN FUCKING NASH… and the show is just a thing that happened. Believe me, “a thing that happened” is perhaps the best direction WWE could go for on a sports-entertainment program taking place on my date of birth.
