Yeah, you don't really watch AVGN videos for accurate or informative reviews. His schtick is funny, but it's almost shocking how little he knows about electronics for someone with a massive collection of vintage gaming hardware.
You're right. It's more about the comedy and slapstick. Now with some video game reviewers adopting his style it just got old. That and I've never seen him attempt to repair any equipment.
Heck, even I made a repair on my 2600's power input jack. And I was a pre-teen at the time! I always had that skill of taking things apart and putting things back together in working condition. :-)
Even I had to roll my eyes when he got out the extension cord in that vid and forgot to also get an extension cord for the 5200's power supply. How can one forget that? I guess he needed to get a Doc Brown reference in there.
