Almost every day since October 2006 I had been going through youtube's new video game review postings, desperately trying to find a show that was original, funny, and informative. Unfortunately, all that turned up was constant low-class rip-off reviews of an excellent film-maker's character, The Angry Video Game Nerd.

Instead of finding quality shows that reviewed brand new games, as well as great classics, I was treated to a constant barrage of unoriginal trash with children cursing with fake anger at games that were usually older than the reviewer, such as these gems, which all decided to review the instantly forgettable Bebe's Kids for SNES. One kid even called the game, "Bee-bee's" Kids.

It was a long, horrible search, but after watching 3000 garbage reviews, digg linked me to yahtzee's The Darkness review. You, sir, are the savior of online video game reviews. The genre was put on life support when my favorite show, The Game Room, was canceled in 2000. (DVD documentary trailer)

Your show is an absolute winner, and is original in every way. I am very happy your show gained instant success. If you look at EscapistMagazine's Alexa page ranking, it has SPIKED since you joined their team. That is amazing. Not even the Angry Video Game Nerd caused his sponsor's site (ScrewAttack) to break the top 10,000, even after being with them for well over a year.

Even though some people complained, I loved your Psychonauts review, especially because it reached a HUGE audience. That is definitely one of the most underrated games of all-time, and if I ever become a popular internet phenomenon, you better believe I will be hammering that game down peoples' throats as well.

THANK YOU for saving the lost art of the online video game review. I look forward to watching your show every single Wednesday.

The Angry Video Game Nerd isn't funny.

It's low grade swearing and pretend anger.

Am I the only one who sees this!?

No need. I don't know or care who the Angry Video Game Nerd is, and I myself found those reviews from a friend. And despite the number of people here, those that actually post don't add to the stupid pool.

The one thing I really love about Yahtzee's reviews, is the rapid fire, to the point delivery. It's like cramming six minutes of yabber into a nice and compact three.
