The angry shtick is just a small portion of his appeal for me, his reviews do a better job conveying to me why a game would work or not work for me than pretty much any other critics reviews, he's no intellectual but he can make you believe a game was fun/not fun and make you understand why, the downside is his reviews are normally weeks to a month post-launch of a game, like a real critic who actually puts enough time in to "get" the game.
