I can say this with 100% confidence because I'm the one who came up with the idea for "The Angriest Electronic Gaming Geek", and I did so by thinking to myself "what title is most similar to 'The Angry Video Game Nerd' that I can come up with, that someone else hasn't already used?'<br /><br />One could argue that Chris didn't say the same thing to himself to come up with the title "Irate Gamer", and I would argue that the chances of that are astronomical.Shaolin Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563122700370463858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432771188531629231.post-44556066349197123482011-03-12T07:11:03.346-06:002011-03-12T07:11:03.346-06:00@ ULad

However, when anyone makes a counterpoint that doesn't 100% follow what you believe, you follow up with some off-the-wall shit.<br />In the video you criticize AVGN for having ROB throw NES carts and the nerd, as a very forceful way to get him to play them. You compared it to ROB throwing his gyros at the IG as a weapon. Anyone could see the similarities, that was even the first thought that came to my mind when I saw the IGs video, but why do you not-so-subtly suggest that James copied Bores for that scene, then come here and say that "The Angriest Electronic Gaming Geek" wouldn't be a rip-off at all?Shaolin Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563122700370463858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432771188531629231.post-66465790999219354472011-03-12T03:57:00.819-06:002011-03-12T03:57:00.819-06:00@Shaolin

Answer the ques...yes, it wouldn't be a ripoff.<br /><br />Answer the question, Shao. Did James ever say something as stupid as 'Somebody call 911, cause I was robbed!'?<br /><br />Because if he didn't, then it's a completely original, if also completely stupid thing for Bores to say. If he DID, then you've proven that AVGN is just as much an idiot as BORES.<br /><br />So which is it? Is AVGN an idiot, or is BORES original occasionally? you'll have to concede one or the other.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826908893992419194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432771188531629231.post-31999186106342714942011-03-11T15:58:54.852-06:002011-03-11T15:58:54.852-06:00@ULad

Noah rips off SOME stuff from the nerd, and does a good job while he's at it. Still, a good rip-off is still a rip-off, so I only give Noah credit for additional things he adds to his reviews that completely go away from James' style. I think he'd be a lot better if he were 100% original, but at least he's partially original and has some of his own talent to go on.<br />Bores steals EVERYTHING from James, and diminished the quality of EVERYTHING while he's at it.
