      I liked the style a lot. It was a great compromise between semi realism and animation. I somewhat miss it. Now, video games try way too hard with the cutscenes for "muh realism". Where has the artistic touch gone, now that everything has to look like live action movies?

      I don't care for tattoos, but otherwise it's a genuinely great look. Style reached its peak back then. So much in fact that many of the companies and sellers that deal in such apparel and style are still around. It's such a timeless and likeable era. Compare that to all the man buns, half-shaved cuts, skinny jeans, lumberjack beards and so on today. Yeh...give me my "edgy" late 90s look, please.

      It's probably because of the weird way Japanese transliterates English words. They don't have a v so it makes sense they'd end up using b or f depending. Translating back has a similar problem. For instance Roper from Enter the Dragon was an inspiration (along with Williams) for an enemy in Double Dragon, but the enemy keeps being called Lopar.

    I feel like as the years have gone on, you sometimes do see the real James slip in the AVGN episodes...and I'm ok with that. You see, doing AVGN for a long time and growing and evolving, the anger is there, but so is the heart and soul of the one who acts. It kinda feels more nourishing in a way to see that fusion and makes it feel so much more real than ever before. It's anger, but it feels genuine.

    That wcw nwo Goldberg memory card is worth a lot of money if it's still in the packaging according to ebay

    That was the most confusing end cutscene I've ever seen.

    "Most non intimidating vampires". So, any relation to the Cullen family?

    You know that James cares about his fans when he’s still hearting comments today.

      That's probably Tony. He has nothing else to do.

    I like the way he ended the video with a Trevor Belmont quote from SOTN..... "Die monster, you don't belong in this world."
    Avgn is a true Castlevania fan.

    The animation here is certainly something. She's clearly writhing in agony, but they don't even try to make Keith look like he's in defense mode.
    He occasionally interjects, but he mostly just stands there with no real feeling of urgency

      And in one of the witch fights, around the 12-minute mark I think, you see Keith is frozen in mid-step and just scooting around like a cutout.
