- Roodgorf 11y agoI remember a time when I enjoyed AVGN and his ilk, but man, I find it harder and harder to stomach the obnoxiously over-the-top outpouring of anger over such inconsequential things (e.g. the Pixels rant). It's particularly frustrating seeing this sort of thing in contrast to the story of the struggles the Virtual Boy developers went through.
