It must have been said on his previous videos uploaded on Facepunch, but he's uploading at a quicker paste isn't he ? I remember back in the days where we had to wait up to several months to get a new upload.
After watching, you can see that the shorter time taken to release the video translates a little bit in the overall quality of the finished product. But, in any case, I still think he's on top of his game and while I love his bigger, more ambitious AVGN projects, I still think James produces quality.
Can't and won't ever get enough of the nerd !
I think him not having to do the full 30 days for Monster Madness freed up his time to work on AVGN
I'm glad he spared NES Pro Wrestling; I love that game.
Man James has been on a roll lately. He used to make an episode every few months and now I can't look away without another one coming out.
Not that I'm complaining tho.
That character select screen in the WCW Superbrawl game was so discomforting.
This one was great, just wish it was a bit longer.
Wow three episodes in the span of a month. We just got like a years worth of episodes.
I'm surprised he didn't say much else about the Strong Bads than make fun of the name.
Good episode, both as a wrestling and video game fan.
Was kinda hoping he'd get to the N64 so he could talk about WWF Attitude, which was a terribad wrestling game.
Or WCW Nitro on the Playstation. How can you miss up a gold mine like this?

james practical effects always makes me smile.
The Fuckin' Nerd's putting all that experiance from VGCW to good use, i see.
N64 / PS1 era also had some awful wrestling games. Mostly all made by Acclaim.

At least we got No Mercy and WCW/nWo Revenge, so that makes up for it.
Please tell me he gives them shit for disabling intergender matchups nowadays

The best thing about Warzone/Attitude were the sound clips from the custom wrestlers.

The best shit starts at 2:14:43 :v:

He doesn't cover the WWE20XX/WWE2KX series. Those games are kind of subtle about their bullshit, anyway.

I had this game. All you had to do was button mash to win.

You just reminded me it's October and we're not going to have a monster madness this year :(

For some reason a lot of shitty wrestling games take this gameplay to heart.
That intro is gorgeous.

Meanwhile THQ put out some really shitty WCW games for PS1. Only AKI game PS1 got was the predecessor to the World Tour/No Mercy games.
Luckily the Smackdown games turned out really good.
I wasn't expecting the nerd to cover Tag Team Wrestling straight away. I also don't blame him for being horrible at it: The game isn't exactly easy to play, and I'm someone who's managed to actually progress in it over time.

I have that one! I spent a lot of time unlocking all of the extra characters, in fact.
Dropkicks were broken as hell.
WCW/NWO Revenge is the only wrestling game I've ever played and it seems like from this thread, that's a good game to have played.
I know one thing for certain, the game's soundtrack is killer. Even just the main menu theme.
