Personally I'm a much bigger fan of James rather than AVGN. When he does videos talking about movies or games as himself it's much more enjoyable for me. There are a few episodes of AVGN that I like but generally they're a little too silly for my taste. This trailer has some of that too with "For the love of Pong." and the over the top projectile vomiting at the end. The reference to his Top Gun episode with "Speed up! Speed Down!" made me smile, however. Also, there seems to be some intentional movie cliches in there with the boxes and the fruit stand during a car chase. That stuff can be done right but if it's done too much or too obviously it can come across as lazy. Like the fruit stand. I hope the references to the show and other movies are subtle and far between. I'll definitely watch it since I'm curious to see what he comes up with but I won't be surprised if I don't like it.
What do you think?
