Isn't it the oldest YouTube channel still in operation?

I've tried to watch a couple of his videos. You aren't missing anything.

The wild part is those games were as old then as the video is now .

Hard to believe YouTube is that old. We were around when it first launched, prior to Google acquiring it, back when it was mostly just random people posting silly videos.

Am I the only one who resisted computers and the internet and such for a LONG time. Like I didn't use ANY internet really until I got a smartphone. I was out getting high and making terrible decisions all of my teenage years and well into my 20s(...maybe 30s). Computers were always kinda nerdy for us. Now I was OBVIOUSLY mistaken in not learning about them then...but was I the only one?

Some of us were getting high and then playing on the computer.

Pretty sure Castlevania 2 was the first one he did. Predates Jekyll and Hyde by 2 years, but it was before he made his AVGN persona a thing

I loved AVGN's early videos and watched him for years. His schtick did eventually get old for me.

Yeah I was obsessed with him then one day I was like "Ok, I'm tired of him." Nothing he did, I don't think. I never really got in to video content creators after that.

Angry Video Game Nerd. He was one of the first big YouTube personalities in the mid-2000s. He used to do comedy skits about old, bad video game from the 80s and 90s.
