I really wish Bootsy was still there. It's a shame his and Mike's 25+ year friendship ended over something that was likely not all that significant.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of details since neither one of them are that willing to talk about the split.

But they aren't following each other on Twitter anymore and Mike deleted all his livestreams that had Bootsy in them. And while the Mike and Bootsy episodes are still on Cinemassacre, the show isn't listed in the drop-down menu with the other shows on the channel.

Of all the Internet YouTube personalities, James Rolfe is, by far, my most respected. When it comes to reviews (specifically movies), he is perhaps the most knowledgeable of them all. Unlike the majority of hackneyed "angry" film reviewers, James is the only person who's thoughts I will listen to, as he actually knows what he's talking about (it also helps that he actually made a movie, so his opinion is more worthy than most.)

It was because of him and his Monster Madness series over the past decade that I myself have become more knowledgeable about movies in general, not just horror themed. His love of the classics opened my eyes to many films before my time.

I'll still take the AVGN over 90% of knock-off filth that has plagued YouTube since.

Ehhhh

To be fair to him, Mike is the reason James and AVGN took off.

James wanted to shelf the character before it took off and Mike convinced him not to. Mike also helped make a ton of the episodes and kept the Youtube account, site and fanbase running for years on end.

Like him or not, without Mike there would be no AVGN. He's a symbiont, not a leech

Never understood the Mike hate. He seems to fill in the gaps when James starts saying stuff that don't make sense to me. The same happens vice versa. They compliment each other well, IMO.

He's pretty insufferable when he doesn't have James to achor him down.

High-pitched voice, jumping around screaming like a child. Random rants.

He seems like a guy who never grew up. Gotta confess it feels weird to think about the fact he drives a car. I wouldn't trust my kids in his car going by how he acts.

I get why people don't like him, but It's impossible to deny his contribution to AVGN

Mike is the guy in the costume in like 80% of the videos involving a guy a costume. He also helped make (nearly) every episode.

Bootsy was never in AVGN to my knowledge but he was a childhood friend of Mike and College friend of James. He did in Board James and a lot of James' other videos also as his own series Mike and Bootsy as well as Bootsy beats.

If you just solely watched AVGN videos I don't think you ever will have seen him.

I dont think he's a one trick pony though.

AVGN
Board James
Monster Madness

All amazing. I think he thinks people like the "angry" or "dumb humor" in his videos. But I think he's just an excellent reviewer, and he should focus on that.

The only thing I dislike about AVGN now is how he's not as "angry" as he used to be, like you can tell he's trying to act angry when his older videos you can legitimately tell he's angry. But I think it has to do with the fact that he's grown up now. He's successful, married, has a kid, did his own (crappy) movie, expanded his channels to do other material, etc. I'm just happy James Rolfe is happy and I enjoy his other contents now. He even stated in his updated videos that avgn episodes are going to be sparingly since they take more effort and work than his other contents. I really love it when he does movie reviews like monster madness. Hell his Power Rangers tv show review was pretty damn awesome to watch as well, I might even add he's probably a better nostalgia critic than the Nostalgia Critic himself.

Whats weird is i feel none of the other "angry game reviewers" took off and the whole angry game reviewer gimmick died. I actually think its funny if you make good points as to why the games bad and why it makes you so angry.

Oh well, its not cool anymore so.

Angry Joe is still around and big, even though he just pissed off his entire fanbase.

Although he's not that angry despite his name so I guess that's a moot point

He wasnt ever that angry or consistently angry. I forget why i stopped watching him. He did something that just turned me off him and now your saying he pissed off his fan base which is consistent with why i stopped watching.

He pissed off his fanbase because he does less Angry Reviews for video games than he used to and does reviews of movies and blogs about TV shows instead.

Also he does loads of stuff on Twicth now.

Then he said he was going on a 4 month vacation from doing Angry Reviews and everyone snapped at him.

What's quite funny is everyone is split 50-50 on whose being the jerk, the fans or him. On youtube, Reddit, Twitch, Facebook even here.

I feel i am a fan of the content, not the person. If giving me the content i want is such a hassle ill simply look elsewhere, which is what i did.

I've mentioned this before, but it's worth repeating: AVGN ripped off Seanbaby BLATANTLY in the beginning, and once he ran through all of that material, he had to use his own, and he's simply not a very funny guy. Those James and Mike Monday's videos exposed how talentless they both are, they can't ad lib for shit.

His Berenstain Bears video was a ripoff that so many of his fans hailed as brilliant, because they are still unaware he does shit like that.

He used to write extensively for Cracked. There are archives of his old text reviews of shitty NES games, which predate the Nerd by years, and some of the references were listed almost verbatim. The Nerd did the same thing with Berenstain Bears.
