Just a whiney baby who can't take even mild criticism from anyone for anything. I keep hoping Ian will snap one day and beat him to death.

I have nothing else to say I just really hate Pat and find him intolerable.

    The best Youtube gamer I've come across in the past two years is Civvie11. He reviews mostly retro FPS games from the 90s, 2000s and tries to find old DOS Box trash.

    Civvie has covered just about all of the big name FPS games I grew up with, including everything important by ID Software and did proper critiques of everything truly wrong with Quake 2 and even did a review of Daikatana proving that beyond all the garbage, there is something of a good game buried in there.

      Agreed. He's also a former union nurse and a leftist so +1 for him not being a chud too.

        Yep, he has to deal with chuds often in the comments and on twitter. His Duke Nukem Forever review really called out some of the more fucked up 'humor' in that game that no one talked about when it first came out.

        I'll always have respect for him for that awesome review he did of Heretic 2, which is a true underrated gem of a game. I would've never discovered that if not for his review.

      8 Bit Guy seems genuine and he's really informative. LGR and RMC are good, too - and they're not dicks. RetroRecipes is a little gimmicky but he's got a good sense of humor. I like FrameRater for console based content.

      Tangent: fuck Raspberry Pis. Go with MiSTers instead. You'll never look back.

          MiSTer is pretty much like playing the real thing since its circuit recreation vs. software emulation. I still have a Saturn and Dreamcast hooked up since those consoles probably will never get the fpga treatment within the next 5 years. Same situation for the N64. But for 16 bit and older systems, MiSTer plays nearly as well as real hardware.

          RMC is retromancave and LGR is Lazy Game Reviews. Both are solid.

        fuck Raspberry Pis

        Horrible for emulation even for simple old stuff, and libretro is an absolute nightmare to use. I didn't know FPGAs were a viable thing - that's pretty great.

          Dude, yes. Yes times a thousand. I spent more time configuring my menu and game list than I did actually playing anything on an RPi. And the experience is pure shit because of lag and buggy as fuck emulators.

          Get a MiSTer. It's like a time machine. And the UI isn't some bloated showboat of WTF like on the RPi. Only cores, games, and system options.

        Oh yeah Mike's posted his dick on the official avgn accounts before and he infamously made a racist comic called the loco bandito perhaps his greatest sin is making a minecraft pocket edition video where he speaks to "inspector gadget" the entire time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TZcW8wmmo4

      A few weeks ago, a guy in the comments of a video - who ran a whole youtube channel about math - jokingly asked Pat to stop with his "PatMath" nonsense because he was always wrong and it was incredibly frustrating for people who can do that math in their head. The tone was obviously a joke.

      Pat got super mad, said he was wrong on purpose because it was funny and when the guy apologised and said it wasn't intended seriously Pat said "I think you protest too much" and blocked the guy.

      He's such a baby who just can't take any criticism even if it's an obvious joke.
