Resolved: The Angry Video Game Nerd is better than the Irate Gamer.

First I'd like to extend my offense before I respond to my opponent- 1. My opponent's debate style is taking away from the true essence of this website. If you vote for him not because he attacked what I am saying, but rather little things like the use of the word 'copy,' it will be completly unfair to the PRO side; he could just point out any word in my argument and turn it around on me and call it an argument. Do not vote for CON simply because I use human dialogue. It is extremely abusive to argue this way. 2. Do not recognize Irate because he tries to copy. AVGN is the original and is funny, but if Irate or someone else tries to copy, AVGN is still better because he is the original. 3. AVGN is COMPLETLY funnier than IG. I have fulfilled my burden of proof in the second round, although it was hazy in the first round. I have provided you with evidence AND analysis as to why AVGN is funnier, plus you can decide for yourself thanks to my youtubes. 4. AVGN fits his character better. His jokes are more subtle and can be enjoyed by everyone. He gets a lot angrier, which is what an angry critic SHOULD do. Now line-by-line: 1. < > First, just because you don't say 'grammatical mistake,' you can still point out a grammatical mistake. E. G. 'You spelt scissors wrong. ' That does not say grammar. Furthermore, pointing out that I used the word 'copy' wrong is a grammatical mistake. Also contending 'AVGN might be better than IG' is a grammatical error because I stated 'AVGN is better than IG. ' 2. < > I did say it was vague, but my main contention was not 'It does not fill the burden,' it was that it was a sneaky and abusive way to argue. That kind of arguementation would allow my opponent to take any word in my argument and twist it around on me. 3. <> This arguement can be thrown out right now. I have provided the two videos, I proved the similarities of these videos, I said why AVGN should be recognized because he is original, I said AVGN is more subtle with jokes, I said he uses better effects, I said he gets angrier, etc. etc. etc. If that isn't enough arguments and analysis to vote for PRO, I don't know what is. I know what my opponent is getting at, but I have fulfilled my burden of proof with arguments. Although stats, figures and sources are helpful to me, my analysis must be argued. Unless he answers these arguments, you must vote PRO. 4. < > I'm gonna be honest, I have know idea what he is talking about here, haha. Ummmmm. .. . yeah. 5. < > There he goes again. C'mon judges, we all know what I was getting at. If that was not clear, I apologize, but that should not be an argument; it should be something that is cleared up or asked to me in the comment box. Do not vote on this copy issue, I cleared it up in the second round, and my opponent never says things like 'copying is good' or 'IG does not copy. ' My arguement still stands, and is the most solid in the round. 6. <<"Fine, Irate is not better because he simply TRIES TO copy the AVGN". Notice how he says that the fact IG tries to copy only supports that Irate Gamer is not better than AVGN. As this is not what my opponent must advocate in order to fulfill his burden of proof and is off-topic, anything concerning IG's copying must be ignored. >> This is completly on topic. It's simple- AVGN is the original so is better. As I have said before, the original is always better because he thinks of his own material and presents it in his own style. AVGN should be recognized for this. 7. < > That could be a good argument, but how far will he take that? Think about it, if I said China is bad for the US, he could say that. I'd say, China is competing in the US in the global market. He could say, why is that bad? I'd say, the US economy could crumble. He'd say, why is that bad? I'd say, people would be put out of jobs (etc, etc. etc. ) In other words, there reaches a certain point where that can not be argued, and I have reached that. I said 'AVGN is better. AVGN is better because he fits his character better. He fits his character better because he gets angrier. ' See, that effectivley portrays my point with a sub-point, when the overall point IS a sub-point. (If you get that) Moving on. .. 8. < > This IS evidence. It's the same thing as an article or a card. I give you the video so you can watch it, but I also explain with my own reasoning as to why AVGN is better. 9. <> Bahhhh. .. c'mon. Subtle jokes are always better. Also, you don't have to be 'smart' to think a joke is funny. It's not a big hurrah and pomp and circumstance when AVGN makes a joke. Because of this, it's eaiser to watch AVGN because it really feels like he's telling you about a game and is a funny guy, rather than an unfunny comedian. 10. < > Ummm. .. what? Special effects enhance the mood. Sometimes it feels like I'm watching a video game parody movie rather than watching an internet video. They get you in the mood of the game he is reviewing, which makes you get more into the video. Thank you for viewing this debate, and I ask for your vote.
