the Angry Video Game Nerd makes me laugh sometimes but I saw his 2 part review of the Jaguar console recently and thought I'd see what you guys think

here's the videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGEGon-Qc_Q

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LVcvkLCUtU

I found myself basically thinking, "this guys a total douche, he hasn't researched anything, looks at about 5 games and doesn't even try to properly look at the Jaguar CD"

I mean seriously if he couldn't find one that worked then that's his damn fault!! I found one immediately, an awesome company in the US that refurbishes them sold me one for around £115 and it was absolutely perfect and works great...

obviously I'll be the first to admit that the Jaguar was not what they said it would be, it wasn't as amazing as Atari made out but if you look past all the marketing BS and stuff its actually a really great machine

what REALLY bugs me though is that he is obviously just playing off of the Jaguar Stereotypes such as the red screen and Jaguar CD's being somewhat rare... but if he couldn't get a working Jaguar CD he shouldn't have even discussed it!

And then there's his skit on Cybermorph! That drove me nuts, if you actually put the effort in to learn the controls and learn how to play it (which  REALLY isn't hard) you find its actually a really brilliant little game for what it was.

He was obviously expecting a fast paced super speedy Star Fox clone, its not the games fault that he couldn't work out how to avoid obstacles in the scenary!! I never fly that fast in Cybermorph because its not made that way!!

anyway it just REALLY bugged me that he gave it such a hard time when clearly he hasn't done any research he's just playing off of all the complaints other people have made to ensure that his video gets loads of views and what not, doesn't matter if the thing wasn't actually as bad as he's saying and the fact he ripped into the CD drive without even being able to test it just hacked me off

anyone else agree or is he right?

I remember when I first heard he had done a Jaguar video, I was expecting him to utterly destroy it like he has done with many other consoles like the CD-i and 5200. When I actually watched it I was somewhat surprised that he did make a few positive comments about the machine. Yes most of it is negative but he gives the Jag more praise than he does many other consoles. After all people expect him to rant, rave and call everything shit, it's his job after all. I have to say though that the Jag CD bit did really annoy me, I have never met anyone with a broken Jag CD that couldn't be fixed by just lifting the spindle with a knife.

yeah in the second part he is actually ok about some of the jaguar games he talks about, like AVP and Tempest, but that was about it for me, the rest was just his usual crap. And I HATE his gripe about the cartridges not having a label on the spine... who the fcuk keeps the cartridges the way he does? I always keep my games in there cases... just hacks me off that he came to the conclusion that it was a piece of shit purely based on the fact that he didn't like Cybermorph or Kasumi Ninja, the carts don't have spine labels and the CD Drive he bought wouldn't work lol

At the end of the day you just have to remember that he is trying to get a reaction from people with a lot of these videos so don't take anything he says seriously.

I keep my carts upright and out of the boxes so having the labels on top is handy.

I don't think anyone should take the AVGN seriously.

normally I dont because he can be funny but with the jag vid I just found it annoying, maybe he's just being silly and making as much fun of himself as the console but who knows. the whole negative shpeel about the labels on the carts irritated me on both the Jag and 32x, I mean that's his own personal idiosincracy, that's not how the games were intended to be stored by the manufacturers, it shouldn't be something to score the consoles negatively on.... but hey he's nuts anyway lol
