Anyone ever watch the Angry Video Game Nerd? AVGN Episodes | Cinemassacre Productions

As a kid I never realized just how hard these games actually were. It wasn't until I started watching some of these old videos did I realize just how stinking hard (or impossible, I'm looking at you Silver Surfer) BattleToads, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or GhostBusters, to name a few, actually were.

I meant haven't, but you got it.

Too bad, they are the hardest games out right now, by far.

They're not that bad once you get the hang of it. I'm spec'ed out in the "most difficult" playstyle/build and I'm nearing the endgame right now.

Also, it's a RPG only in the loosest sense of the term. It's a hack and slash/action game. There's a backstory but the games don't force it down your throat. If you just want to run around stabbing things without paying any attention to the story, it won't hurt you any. There aren't any quests to complete or princesses to save. Just lots and lots of things to stab.

I didn't say they were hard once you got used to them. I said they are the hardest games out right now :-p

How unfair is the game? I found a boss that will actually summon other players to kill you during the immensely unfair boss fight itself. Yeah, you can actually fight against other people just trying to play through the game.

It's super fun. The boss can kill a player in 1-2 hits. Now throw other players into the mix that don't have "patterns". It's so funny.

I'm guessing none of you are going to PAX this coming weekend?

Don't need to be. It's just about gaming, less about penny arcade.

Ive been several times, it's awesome.

Any of you nerds know much about A/V Receivers for a home theater setup? I'm looking to get one for around $300-400 and have no experience with them at all. Looking at the lower end 2014 models from Sony, Pioneer, Yamaha, and a 2013 model Denon.

I bought an Onkyo a few years back. It works well. Probably the best bet is to do the review thing. I have done a little businees with Crutchfield (expensive) but they have good advice. A link to that

Then check out some of the comparisons.

I guess the real question is, are you just looking for someone to tell you what to buy or do you want information so you can pick?

The former, I have an Onkyo, it rocks, buy one of them.
The latter, well, that's all that other info...

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help!

I did end up doing all of this research myself and decided on getting the Denon AVR-X1000. For only $300 brand new, it's hard to beat. Thought about getting something with 4K compatiability, but I'm better off waiting a couple years for 4K tech to be better established.
