Hunter Beck But in dark souls there're enemies and/or obstacles between you and the boss (most of the time) thus giving you an incentive to not die in the boss battle, less you'd want to trek through more hazardous terrain.
Hunter Beck Yeah, it is great, I've beaten it twice now, but running back is usually very easy anyway since you can run by enemies. but it just serves to waste your time ultimately. I'm sure that's what From wanted anyway, the bastards.
+Hunter Beck It's not about getting good, it's about enduring the mind-numbing tedium of walking back to the boss if you happen to die - just to learn their pattern. The two dragon knights are a prime example.
Big O That documentary is bullshit! Are you telling me if I told you the Earth was flat and made a documentary about it you would believe it? Well actually there are some on that. So you must believe it because its on TV right? So delusional.
@Big O Safechuck said he was molested from 1988 until 1992, and one of the places it happened was in Jackson’s Neverland train station. But Mike Smallcombe, Jackson’s biographer, proved the station wasn’t built until 1994, two years after Safechuck said the abuse stopped.
Michael Jackson for smash bros. I mean he has a move set and a final smash(mecha jackson). I'd love to hear the 16 bit bad album while I make Michael and Sonic team up
My guess is that they never got the license from Rod Pemberton to use "Thriller," not realizing that Jackson didn't write it, and thought it was a better use of their money to program in a different Jackson song than to pay the license when Pemberton sent them a cease and desist.
Exactly. All the others songs were written by Michael Jackson except Thriller, so in order to avoid a future lawsuit from Rob, they remove the song Thriller on the next copies.
+Clonekiller66 So is the coin sound in the beginning i think. Atleast from what i hear it sounds just like when sonic loses his coins. But i could be wrong.
This was made before Michael Jackson died, this was originally released on Gametrailers in January 2009, MJ died in June. The TH-cam version came out after he died but this wasn't on TH-cam at the time when it was released.
You either had Revision 1 or 2 of the Moonwalker game for the Genesis; the initial release has the “Thriller” dance, the prototype has “Thriller” as its stage music. You should check Revision 0 and prototype versions out in a future episode of Angry Video Game Nerd.

Moonwalker needs a remake on todays consoles. Imagine the HD graphics, moonwalkin in n out of the levels, resquin kids? Like there is somethin wrong about. and the Stereo music.. Someone needs to do it.
Why did Mike stop drawing stuff for each episode? It was a trademark of the series! And a hell of an inspiration for people like me, who are interested in drawing. Now it's all like oh, yeah, that episode was good... aaand the intro is over. Not bad, but a clichè. So, Mike, why'd you stop? Freaking come back to it! I dare ya! And don't you say no to me!

Not only that, but the Nostalgia Critic did a review on Moonwalker in April of that same year. Kind of more eerie when you think about it.
When Michael changed to iron Michael. I thought his face turned to Michael Myers

Anything can happen when MJ is involved
lo,, you realize people can see if you have repeated comments or similar comments right
Make a before and after vid of the pc recoil changes.
I loved playing left 4 dead on my pc ever since I was twenty years old 20 years old
I like how you came back a year after your original watch and commented on the same thing twice
All these years later and 9:37 still gets me lmfao.
The game had me at 5:18
Send for the man!

Best song MJ ever made
This is probably the best music Ive ever heard on the Genesis
Moonwalker needs a remake on todays consoles. Imagine the HD graphics, moonwalkin in n out of the levels, resquin kids? Like there is somethin wrong about. and the Stereo music.. Someone needs to do it.
I'd play that
And it better include all of his songs
Never gonna happen
@@errorbirdesther it only has the ones it's designed to
@@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan agreed
9:53 Hilarious but also cute!
+Sonic the Hedgehog OH MY GOD! Is that you?! The hero from Sega?!
He's the Angry Nintendo Cat. He's the Angry Atari Sega Cat. He's the Angry, Video Game, Cat.
Pokey the scoooowwwwling.... Caaaaaat!
+Rougamaru yes
that made my day
TklMeElmo He'd rather have a mad scientist spay him up, while eating cat litter.
9:15 everytime I need a laugh or two I come back for this epic meltdown 😂🌋💥
Why did Mike stop drawing stuff for each episode? It was a trademark of the series! And a hell of an inspiration for people like me, who are interested in drawing. Now it's all like oh, yeah, that episode was good... aaand the intro is over. Not bad, but a clichè. So, Mike, why'd you stop? Freaking come back to it! I dare ya! And don't you say no to me!
thegamer351 Well, I could stop editing and spend all my time doing the title cards like I used to. Then there would be no Monster Madness, James & Mike Mondays or my own game reviews..
Sorry, not gonna happen. =P
-Mike
Cinemassacre So, you edit and upload all the videos? I've seen the Monster Madness videos, that's a lot of work. The editing is great!
Cinemassacre
do you have a youtube account mike?
Cinemassacre Hey if I support you guys directly, does Google get half of that like they do with the advertising. I think with the new rules I'll just send a few dollars a month to the couple content creators I enjoy and hopefully the advertising thing wont kill them. I know you guys have never had the in video ads, but I can only imagine how their greed effects you too.
He.
*James turns into a cat after he starts to rage quit this game*
+Smash Bros fan yes, we now...
***** did you read the other comment?
***** oh yeah, know* sorry, sometimes i can't tell what's the fucking difference :P
It's fine
One of the best endings in the series lol
Its based on Michael Jackson Black or withe
video ending scene (Panther Dance)
Im not a music expert but the instrumental for beat it has to be scientifically the most catchy shit on the planet.
The arcade I worked at had the Moonwalker cabinet. I actually remember my hoodlum metalhead friends and I playing it, laughing and carrying on at the dance moves and crotch grab. Priceless. ✌️
Congratulations! Your AVGN has evolved into Kitteh!
i think it would have been funny if he did the next review as a cat
trueloveis4u I've never heard a cat swear before. :D
The closest thing a cat does to swearing is hissing.
MJ was like a quadrillion times better than JB
there is nothing to compare at!It's like guessing the difference between a king and his jester!
zakkounet wtf
Correction, he's a googol times better than JB
(Googol = 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)
***** whack the fox?
blaxout1213 That's a lot of numbers we're dealing here XD
The arcade version is awesome as hell though
still laughing my ass off in 2020. love the AVGN! 😁😁😁
R.I.P MJ
Best episode ever
+Frank Harper Yeah !
