->''"The first ''AVGN'' game we're gonna look at is ''The Angry Video '''Game''''', by Eric Ruth. This was the first ''AVGN'' game that ever came to my attention, back in 2008.

->''"465. Four hundred and sixty-five loading screens. Oh yeah. I counted 'em. Four hundred and sixty-five. And that's just the ones you HAVE to see, not including any missions you fail, any unnecessary times you go from one hub world to another, this is assuming you do everything in the game PERFECTLY. And you wanna know how long all the loading screens are, together? Oh yeah, I did THAT, too! One hour, fifty-eight minutes and thirty-four seconds. That's almost two hours of NOTHING. That's almost two goddamn collective hours of WAITING for something to happen!"''

->''"In fact, the game is no longer an [[FirstPersonShooter FPS]] at all, but more of a [[BattleRoyaleGame battle royale]] where the objective of the game is [[SarcasmMode to be the player who keeps Overwatch on the longest]]. When you first enter a match, there are 3000 other players in there with you, which is unprecedented for a battle royale. I think in VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}, it only goes up to like one hundred players max. But if you keep Overwatch open long enough, it'll start outlasting a lot of the other players. Ooh! Look at that! It jumped down to 2000! That was a big move right there. That might be play of the game."''
