    After 20 years you'd think Rolling Rock would have given him an endorsement.
  • @Reionder
    There's a whole generation of folks who were born too late to feel nostalgia for NES games but who are now old enough to feel nostalgia for classic AVGN videos
  • @TheCurrykiev
    Tldw: he really, REALLY likes his whip to go in 8 directions.
  • @E107Sigma
    Thanks for all the memories, James. You might have suffered, but its still deeply appreciated.

    22:31 "If it wasn't for Simon's Quest, you might not have ever known about me, and I might not have ever known about you"
  • @JunKazamaFan
    "Yes, I already answered that in my Castlevania four-part episode in 2009." Man, 2009 feels like it was only yesterday to me...
  • @saucerspecial
    I'm one of your earliest subs from 18 years ago. I'm 42 now and I'm proud to say I'm in it until the end. Thank you for all the memories James. Your videos are memory books for me. I always know where I was when my favorite videos of yours dropped. Here's to another 18 years!
  • @Feiqn
    Have you ever tried being angry about something for 20 years straight? That’s dedication, Holmes.
  • @Bread_Bug
    Can’t believe this series is almost as old as I am lol. This has to be the most consistent and rewatchable series on the internet
  • @RyanMercer
    So many memories watching my friend play Symphony of the Night
  • @esoterra8050
    I love this classic approach of the video without the over the top acting and skits. THIS IS SO REFRESHING!
  • @MailmanRSO
    I kind of figured there'd be a nostalgia montage, but I was hoping it would have the Kyle Justin version of the song playing. It almost made me cry with the sad music, but if I had heard "He's gonna take you back to the past..." I would have cried for sure. Thanks, James, for all the memories. Been watching since when there was maybe only 10 episodes available to watch.
  • It's hard to believe it's been so long. Thank you Nerd, YouTube simply wouldn't be the same without you.
  • I've been a huge fan of the AVGN since 2008 and i can still rewatch almost any of his videos! Truly timeless!
  • @astovar23
    And of course now it's mandatory to rewatch the 2009 Castlevania Reviews.
  • @FluxOperation
    I have not missed an episode in 20 years. Thank you, James, for being there.
  • @JayTheRed602
    Thank you Nerd. You'll never get all the credit you deserve for helping establish YouTube as a true entertainment alternative, but without you, YouTube wouldnt have been YouTube.
  • That soundtrack is really special. Im a lifelong gamer, starting on Phillips G7000, then going to c64, with it's legendary sound chip and music, eventually stopping on the 360 before going back to retro gaming, and that soundtrack is one of the greatest I've ever heard mate.
