his classic stuff is hilarious.
haven't kept up lately but if the quality has gone downhill it's understandable. It's impossible to use that type of humor and keep it fresh endlessly. If a new episode is at least watchable that's an accomplishment. Never did like mike though he seemed like a really fake guy and a pretty big dick. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My feeling about Mike is that he seems alright in a group but he's not someone I'd want to hang out with one-on-one for any extended period of time.
And concerning his move into full-time streaming: I don't mind watching James get angry at old games because that's only a character. When you see a 40 year old man legitimately getting angry and screaming at 30 year old video games it's a bit more pathetic and not something I want to watch. --- See you next Wednesday. ...

Cinemassacre Truth is full of the most sad people I have ever seen.
It's a hate reddit full of people who's lives are entirely revolved around the fact they hate current day AVGN. They talk about how AVGN is lazy, and then they make the same jokes every single thread for months, or even years now, and resort to lazy insults about the staff calling them slobs due to their weight, constantly, and trying to turn every little thing into the biggest drama theater ever. It's fine to hate AVGN, but damn, if you don't like it, why are you so obsessed with it?

I wouldn't say it was a fluke. Keep in mind he got big on Youtube in 2006. James early AVGN episodes are a clear cut above of 99% of videos in terms of production quality, editing, scripting...etc. His background in film gave him a clear advantage early on. But yeah he's run the character to the ground. There is only so much you can do with 1 joke repeated ad nauseum. Yeah you're right, fluke was a bad word to explain his explosion in popularity. His videos were definitely higher quality than anything you could find at the time, and to add to AVGN's legacy it literally became the #1 inspiration for many other video game content creator to make videos. I didn't want to add to the dogpiling on James, I was just kind of giving context to probably why his newer videos aren't "up to par" to his older videos. I remember a few years ago I was at a meet and greet with James and I made a comment about how he doesn't seem to be that angry when it came to his videos. He made a quick remark, "I guess I'll film it when I'm in a bad mood." Needless to say, I see no reason for him to be in a bad mood because he's already pretty damn successful. --- DI MOLTO! ...

he is not very good to be honest and it stims from his obsession to matching the B movies from his child hood B movies have changed over the years hell regular youtubers can put out better effects than the stuff james wants to focus on what he does cuold maybe work if there was a hint of irony to it but no he just does it and thats it not even really a joke that the effects look like they where done in the 60s --- 3 things 1. i am female 2. i havea msucle probelm its hard for me to typ well 3.*does her janpuu dance* ...

you can't be serious if you haven't noticed his heart isn't really in it anymore Yeah, you just have to look at the cinematography compared to old AVGN videos. Now it is mostly just shots of game play or the Nerd sitting on his couch. It used to be much more varied. Also, it now sounds like the Nerd is just phoning in lines. In the past it was genuine rage (i.e. Castlevania 2 and other early reviews) or at least acting with some effort (i.e. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. I'm 99% sure James never played the game before he reviewed it). --- We all live in a Yellow SUV! a Yellow SUV! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I never really enjoyed the skits but (sometimes) they had a homemade charm to them and you knew it was his friends getting involved.

I still tune into his videos whenever he releases a new one, but yeah, it's absolutely clear that he's just phoning it in at this point, since it's his most successful product. Like others have said, he's gone through all of the games he played in his childhood, so he can no longer channel that genuine frustration he felt as a child with the new games he's reviewing now, though there are exceptions (Plumbers Don't Wear Ties and Hong Kong 97, for example).
He's a movie guy, but people don't seem to care as much about his movie stuff as they do AVGN, so he has to keep doing what makes the money, especially since he has a family to care for now. Maybe one day he could return to filmmaking full time, since that's his true passion. On a final note, the recent Shrek video of his was a very weak episode, I agree. --- I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I legit like it up to the Castlevania series marathon (holy shit this is 2010 apparently, wow it really been that long). After that is mostly meh, yea. But really, you can only do so much after 100+ episodes, I guess.
Still, regardless of what I think of the show, I can understand if he puts his family first now (married and two kids), and just prefer to earn steady income from AVGN stuff. Plus his real life persona supposedly chill and have zero controversy whatsoever from what I know. I can respect that. --- Mobage: Fire Emblem Heroes 8793571220 Console: Prof Layton 5 and 6 (3DS) ...
