SCARS - PS1 Game (Retro Fam)

As a big fan of AVGN who has missed out on the previously-released DVDs, I was glad I waited and was able to get this collection on Blu-Ray!Let me just get some technical stuff out of the way right up front since it is important: While this is a Blu-Ray disc, the content is all in 480i Standard Definition. These are not HD, they're not even standard DVD quality (480p). They're also presented in "Full Screen" (4:3, black bars on the sides). It's not until the very final episode that the video format was switched to widescreen (16:9) and 720p.The discs are region free according to the boxart. There are individual chapters for each episode and a play all option. There are no subtitles on the disc.The reason these are on a Blu-Ray disc is that they can hold so much space. Disc 1 has 19 hours of episodes on it! Also keep in mind these were filmed for the web years ago in standard definition, so there is no HD version of a lot of this content.The set comes on 2 pressed Blu-Ray discs (not BD-R's)The Blu-Ray itself boots up instantly to the menu.No waiting through company logos, just right to the menu screen. Awesome.Options on the main menu are Play-All, Episode Select (8 per screen -- I wish they would have upped this number as you need to scroll through pages and pages to get to the later episodes) and Commentaries.As of this review, there are 137 episodes of AVGN -- this Blu-Ray contains the first 100. I believe this is the first 6 or so previously-released DVDs combined.

This was a great purchase. PROS: Hours of Angry Nerd content!!! CONS: Expensive, but cheaper than buying all the DVDs one at a time. My other HUGE complaint is that the episodes are edited to take out copyrighted film scenes from different movie based games. All in all, it's worth the money.

The best of the best. Having the first 100 episodes is a blessing. Can't wait for AVGN X2

After stumbling through the first month of its ninth season, the Powers That Be at “AVGN” have suggested in interviews that the powerhouse comedy would be back on track with tonight’s “Merv Griffin Show.” While the characters of Ninja Gaiden and R.O.B. zoom into a pole position for spinoffs, the rest of this once-glorious comedy still has the schtick-shift stuck in second gear.Having raised the bar to stratospheric heights — is there another show that has added new phrases to the American lexicon year after year after year? — it feels like a dog’s age since the last multiplot show clicked on every cylinder (specifically “The Pothole” episode in which Mike Matei loses his Phil Rizzuto key chain).The central premise here is brilliant: Ninja Gaiden finds the set of “The Merv Griffin Show” in the trash, reassembles it in his apartment and runs his life as a talkshow.Gaiden's “guests” — The Nerd, Matei, Day Dreamin' Davey and animal expert Jim Fowler — mix it up well, following Ninja Gaiden's lead and then fighting against the bizarre logic of the whole concept; when Ninja refashions the show for a younger demo, results are a little obvious , yet well executed.In other plots, The Nerd's dilemma is how to get new girlfriend Celia to let him play with her mint collection of toys from the 1950s and ’60s. It has its moments. Uncle Fester is haunted by a “sidler,” new employee Walter who wreaks havoc by quietly attaching himself to her dealings with the boss. It gets old quickly.Meanwh.

Product works but the audio is weird and the whole blu-ray is a bit buggy and has even crashed my PS3 a couple of times. If the audio had been a better quality I could overlook how buggy it is
