Hey it's Kruggs who plays a better game. I can hear that comment in my head as if spoken by your silver tongue. "We lost one of our llamaman scouts and one dwarf lost a few fingers, but hey, that happy birthday blooper was pretty great."
I suspect they already did several other games. And he kept messing them up, or laughing, so he kept this one. Same thing happened with Ikari Warriors.
You have no idea how long I have been trying to find out what this game was called. I played it so much as a child! I have searched for 10 years! Thank you for doing this. You really don’t know how grateful I am right now.
I can't decide the best part of this one. The happy birthday line made me laugh way too hard but WOW the lengths you went to destroy greendog had me in awe.
He even ended up breaking character so that’s when you know even he didn’t expect that and he has never done that before from what I have seen in the videos, and I think I have seen every AVGN episode
10:15 It REALLY bothers me that they wanted to draw Greendog as cartoony and noodly as possible, and yet the artist still felt the need to draw a realistic spine going down his back.
HEAT episode: one. This is THE WORST game ever made. 2006, and it was literaly so broken you could not imagine it. The second worst game is Snajper. A polish game in which a bus is BLEEDING if you shoot it! But really! The worst games made in eastern europe :D
I personally find it rather disturbing to see a game be destroyed like that... Imagine if it was a much rarer and MUCH better game getting that treatment...
Me 38 years old. Watching since he was still on that website, not sure the name. He and couple of other people were also there. Total Biscuit was still alive...
I never thought i'd see an AVGN review of Greendog. I grew to enjoy this game as a kid. Excellent episode! By the way, the music that plays from 1:58 onwards is actually from Talespin who has the same composer as Greendog. I always got that track confused as being in the latter!
that happy birthday moment cracked me up so hard! we're just a couple episodes away from reaching the 200th episode milestone!!!!!!!!! My lord, what will you do for that special, James?????
I'm guessing AVGN's 200th episode is going to be: Apple Pippin Phoenix Games More LJN Games More Bible Games RCA Studio II A PS5/XBSX Game Or some super rare accessory that we have no idea even existed.
Thought you would just go "Ahhh" for the whole episode, it made me imagine a universe where AVGN only makes noises and Mr. Bean is all about heavy cursing
I don't know who did the new AVGN opening intro, but Wow! That's some amazing pixel art work and animation ! The animation is so pretty and perfect. Really nice ! And that "Happy birthday f*** yoooouuu!!!" was hilarious XD
I was going to ask that: how many copies of this game has he got, in order to permit him the luxury of destroying a piece of media which isn't manufactured anymore, and probably, never will be?
Man, this episode had me grinning through it all! And that last game destruction stunt, actual lava! Reminds me of how you obliterated the Amiga CD32.

The happy birthday thing was excellent. Couldn't even keep yourself in character due to how funny it was.

"A little stunt we have been trying to do for a few years now"

Apparently they shipped the game to someone in Iceland who films volcanoes. James didn't travel there.
10:15 It REALLY bothers me that they wanted to draw Greendog as cartoony and noodly as possible, and yet the artist still felt the need to draw a realistic spine going down his back.
No one cares what bothers you, like honestly
I love the happy birthday moment, that was great seeing the staff break
Plumbers Don't Wear Ties got criticised for doing that same thing.
I was laughing so hard.

@@smittyhurst3001 He didn't have the budget, back then ;)
I will say I miss the old intro but then again I just started watching him 2 weeks ago.
Been hearing this for multiple episodes now.......
Hmm. Will he in another decade have enough budget for a real Nerd 'Copter? :D
Greendog makes Lester the Unlikely look like a masterpiece
Lol it really does.
12:30 I just love it when I see James and the camera crew just laughing at his own jokes. Kinda wholesome if you ask me.
Especially after he spent a big chunk of the pandemic unable to work with a crew.
I didn't even know he had a cameraman for those live action parts. It seemed like he flimed them himself.
The story behind this game is actually genuinely crazy. Guru Larry did a small segment on it.
I’ll take a look at that I like the Guru
