bioshock will always hold a very special place in my heart, even though the first game came out the year i was born. even before bioshock, i listened to jazz/big band from the 1920s-1940s, and i had a huge art-deco phase. when i played bioshock for the first time around four years ago, i was surprised i hadnt heard about the game earlier because of how it practically pandered to all of my interests. since then, bioshock had fueled the fire for those interests, and now i plan on going into architecture (because of my admiration and obsession with art deco architecture) in the fall of 2025 when i begin my freshman year of college. crazy how something as simple as a video game could potentially change the course of your life

Interestingly enough, I discovered AVGN sometime in late 2010, by way of The Spoony Experiment. I was a fan of Spoony's content first, and discovered Channel Awesome through that, where I saw some mentions and advertisements someone called the "Angry Video Game Nerd". I decided to check it out on a whim and I'm glad I did. I believe the "Back to the Future: Revisited" was the most recent video at the time and I found it funny and wacky enough to make me watch more. While many of the videos in recent years have lost some of that original spark, I still enjoy and appreciate the full catalog of James' work and constantly revisit much of it, especially the earlier seasons. The fact that James has been doing this for 18+ years says a lot.

I know many criticize him for the change in direction or "lack of quality". I think James' AVGN Series is still very entertaining and makes me laugh. With out him we wouldn't had JonTron or even better... Scott The Woz. James has inspired many, and I hope he continues his Journey as The Nerd.

Toriyama was the character designer, though I have no doubts his brain was picked when the story was being written since some of the time travel benefits to consequences mirror the DBZ Future Trunks, the Androids, and Cell arks. We see the same concepts revisited by Toriyama and Toyotaro in the DB Super Zamasu ark. For the unaware... The future has changed. Toriyama is gone, leaving us his legacy in the form of his Bird Studio and his apprentice, Toyotaro. Toyotaro, as of now, has stated he plans to continue working on Toriyama's currently ongoing manga properties. It is unknown as of yet what will become of the Square-Enix workload, whether he'll take that on or choose someone else at Bird Studio. Ultimately, though, Toriyama had planned to retire and let Toyotaro take over everything.
