    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
  • @E107Sigma
    Thanks for all the memories, James. You might have suffered, but its still deeply appreciated.
  • @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!

    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"

    Tldw: he really, REALLY likes his whip to go in 8 directions.
  • @Feiqn
    Have you ever tried being angry about something for 20 years straight? That’s dedication, Holmes.
  • @lioneart19
    In Bloodlines you can't whip in all directions because there are two characters: one can spear in all directions but not while jumping, the other can whip while jumping but not in all directions. It's cool!
  • @JunKazamaFan
    "Yes, I already answered that in my Castlevania four-part episode in 2009." Man, 2009 feels like it was only yesterday to me...
  • @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
  • @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.
  • Rondo of blood is my favorite: They gave you more control over the jumping and more versatile weapojs while still keeping the original roots.
  • @RyanMercer
    So many memories watching my friend play Symphony of the Night
  • @MasterSartorius
    Its odd to me how this feels like the last AVGN episode. Im not saying it is, but the vibe and sincerity gives it off.
  • @GigaOtomia
    You've changed, Nerd. You're not angry anymore.
  • I can't remember how many times I've played Order of Ecclesia. To me this is the best part - best music, top artstyle, best protagonist, coolest version of Dracula and all of the lessons from SOTN done right. Portrait of Ruin is probably second.
  • @FluxOperation
    I have not missed an episode in 20 years. Thank you, James, for being there.
