I mean, after watching James and Mike for a while you can start to tell the difference in what's part of the Angry Nerd persona and what's actually James' own opinion. Some of these later AVGN episodes have just been transplants of content from J&M. The Universal Studios episode is a great example. It really is basically a recap of the J&M episode with only a slight exaggeration to make it fit the AVGN character.

You can see a lot of the similar style of review in this Majora's Mask episode. The line between the Nerd and James seems a lot thinner in this episode than some others. When he says stuff about dreading having to go back to playing it in order to beat it, it's a lot like how he forced himself to beat Metroid even though he was hating it. And a lot of his complaints about the gameplay match up to the problems he has playing lots of games because he's just not that good. And that's one of the reasons I'm critical of it, because this happens a lot on J&M. Situations where he doesn't bother to learn how to play the game correctly, or can't get past a certain challenge because of his own lack of skill, and then blames the game for it. It's really disappointing to watch.
