Message: [QUOTE="JoeMama, post: 47565, member: 8465"] Amazing article. No words. Everything, well said. I'm a fellow long time fan of his, though I've long since tuned out. Perhaps I've grown up like everyone else and figured out that he was corny with his exaggerated actions. Last episode I watched was... Ooof. Final Fantasy 6 last Christmas. Not sure if I'd agree about AVGN being a cornerstone of the culture, but I digress. Would've been fun to touch down on other AVGN clones in the article as well, but alas. Uncle Derek deserves the spot rightly. Fan of his as well. I'd like to bring up one name that isn't well known (I don't know how famous they are) among this niche of AVGN clones. I don't know if he is one, but. Here we are. Kinamania, based out of Russia. The project of one Pavel Grinyov, documenting his own memories of retro games on the Dendy, a famous Famiclone in Russia and the post-Soviet region. There's the Dendy Chronicles series, your AVGN-esque review video, Na Kuhne, your James & Mike Mondays/Neighbor Nerds knockoff, where him and a friend play a game together, and others and others. Very very fun guy, very quality stuff. [MEDIA=youtube]hHNHCpXiPYc[/MEDIA] [automerge]1737500024[/automerge] Yeah, there are dubs out there. I remember watching the Pong console video dubbed in Russian once a while while ago. [MEDIA=youtube]gZpGUH1qYzA[/MEDIA] [automerge]1737500526[/automerge] If you put on the rose tinted glasses, yeah. He's a fun watch occasionally. But otherwise, agree to disagree. It's not loser's remorse, it's growing up and realizing what you were into before probably isn't as good as you may remember it to be. You can be an edgy comedian and not manufacture yourself and your act. Your mind is disheveled, distorted. You'll figure out that he's not quite all that anymore soon as well. [/QUOTE]
