      Angry Video Game Nerd. He made internet videos pre YouTube days about him playing bad retro games. I don’t know what he’s doing nowadays, but one thing for sure is that he’s not going to watch a movie.

        Eating and sleeping. Some urination too. Probably even pooping sometimes.

            This is a bit inaccurate. Some of his videos contained plagiarism, but they weren’t written by James and were taken down as soon as it was pointed out. The source of the plagiarism was also not other youtubers, it was written movie articles. The writer in question no longer works for him. This was all made clear in the Hbomberguy video.

      The angry video game nerd is a character that kinda lives in the past. He likes mainly 80’s and 90’s pop culture. He reviews a lot of old and notoriously bad video games. James who plays the AVGN also likes old movies and reviews a lot of them.
      I guess the interesting part is that he said he’'s not gonna review the 2016 ghostbuster movie and didn’t get any baclash for being a chauvinistic patriarch or something.
      There was a recent example where a journalist reviewed turning red and said it wasn’t for him and gave it a bad score and people went berserk and called him racist and shit and he lost his job and they forced an apology out of him for not liking a movie.

        Lol… he didn’t say he disliked the movie, he said the movie sucked because it was based on Asian culture and because of the female lead. He was pretty explicitly racist and misogynist in his review.
