Featured Comments/Tips
I have nothing but the utmost respect for Mike Matei and especially James Rolfe for making such great web series. This in particular is one of the best. It introduced me to both my love of reviews and my passion for retro gaming and media in general. Thank you, James and Mike.
best web series about nostalgic gaming ever! :P
My most favourite show EVER!
the ''anger'' novelty is very hit and miss, but beneath some of the cringeworthy dialogue there is a lot of informative retro gaming history that james is clearly very knowledgeable about.
I love watching avgn I use it as background noise to fall asleep to, background noise when I’m studying,I enjoy rewatching any of the episodes and easily can lose hours out of my day because deciding to actually watch it instead of just listen.
