Sure, it ain't high brow entertainment, but is any comedy high brow these days? It is actually a pretty smart show. I've never cared for the idea of playing old video games, but now I really want to.
What is so great about the show? A catchy theme starts it off, then you get (most of the time) around 10 minutes of pure hilarity. It captures the frustration of playing a difficult video game so well. James Rolfe's rants are the highlight of the entire series. I also enjoy his movie reviews very much. As a film critic, he points out some really interesting things that I never thought about. The same goes when he reviews a horrible game. Sometimes he'll review a good game, you'll think he's calm, then he pops in a bad one and BAM!! He goes off on a rant that makes you laugh so hard that it hurts.
I like how he basically gives you a walk-through of the game as he makes his hilarious comments. My personal favourite episode is "Godzilla". I'm a pretty big Godzilla fan, and he made fun of those awful games SO WELL! The final word: 10/10, James Rolfe is one funny guy.
As a side note: If you can't stand poo humour, some episodes have some pretty gross stuff. Also, every episode has a lot of swearing. So if you can't stand bad words, avoid it like the plague! Everyone else, go to YouTube and search "avgn" and you'll get some truly hilarious stuff.
