Quote of the Week: "Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which
will not withdraw from us. We need hours of aimless wandering or spates
of time sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants
and the canopy of treetops." --Maya Angelou (b. 1928) American writer
and entertainer

The problem is that they need to make money. :( Just skip the ads.

It is rather unfortunate that they don't have anyone like Screwattack
bankrolling their content anymore (and even then, Game Trailers was
bankrolling Screwattack, and that was an MTV company). I'll still watch
his videos as I have nothing better to do with my time, I don't really
value it too much, but it really has to be said, AVGN just isn't really
that good anymore.
Or to put it nicer, hit or miss, but he misses the mark so much, it's
just slightly higher end Irate Gamer at this point.

Ever since Mike left and was replaced by the fat slobs, it sucked.
