I have always hated this urban myth, because it reminds me of the creepy pasta phase of the internet in the last ten years. However, once again, The Gaming Historian does a great job in covering this story.

You hate Polybius?! One of my favorite stories! I think the story is great lore, but I hate the "black helicopter" style story that it has become.

It was just 2 days ago that I added Polybius VR to my cart, I had been excited for it since it was announced, and when I heard it was for VR I was sold immediately. It is only natural that all these IPs start the new VR era just like Battlezone, Radar Scope, and the like did back then on the arcades.
However nothing beats the sounds and immersion of the original games from that era. If someone thinks they look too amazing to be real, they are probably thinking about the 2600 because all the original arcade classics from that era look stunning on current 4K displays, and are very real, just emulate Tempest, Gravitar, Stargate, Frenzy, Millipede, Galaxian, Ms. Pac-Man, Arkanoid, Super Cobra, Space Duel, etc., original arcade versions, they all look beautiful on modern TVs, and the sound, absolutely nothing compares to how amazing were those sound effects of the time.
The only console exclusive games I wish had cabinets and did not were Yars' Revenge and Laser Gates. Those were true to the era designs, there may be more, but those are the only ones I know that match the awesomeness of the time with visuals and sounds.

A lot of people hated that AVGN episode. I thought it was great.

I liked it. AVGN has been releasing more videos lately, and some of them are better than what he has released in the last year or so. The guy has a clear love for horror, so I tend to appreciate his Halloween episodes.

He says that October used to absorb almost 6 months worth of work.

It was a combination of Blair Witch, The Shining, and Mass Effect (indoctrination). What was not to like?

As fun as Monster Madness was (it was my most anticipated video series of the year), that might be a good trade-off if it was taking him so much time. And he is still doing the Son of Monster Madness, so it's all right. His Gameboy Accessories and Power Rangers AVGN episodes were great.

Those two AVGN episodes are the best ones he's made since Mega Man. And there's no way to top Monster Madness 10. The perfect way to end it.

It's nice to see AVGN is focusing on what he loves now and doing things at his own pace, I think he's better off for it. In fact I could've swore I saw his hairline grow back a little bit. It's nice to see a popular youtuber that doesn't mindlessly chase whatever will get them the most hits. James Rolfe is a model E-celeb.
