For me, it was his Big Rigs video. That episode didn't have much anger and it was more the nerd laughing at the absurdity of that game. It lacked that charm the previous episodes had.

He's still pretty great. His Contra episode got me in the feels a little.

His Big Rigs video is arguably among his best, wtf?

When we grew up.

Note to the people who still like I am not calling you childish. I love anime aimed at a younger demo many times. So please don't take that as an a insult.

Can't say it has for me. Sure, some episodes aren't as great, but that's always been the case and doesn't feel like a "recent" thing.

If I'm disappointed about anything, it was the death of "Board James" as it quickly became one of my favorite segments, by and large because I've actually played the majority of the things he covered, whereas I didn't even know most of those shitty video games existed much less tried them myself so the nostalgia factor wasn't there for me (they were still funny to watch though).

I still like it quite a bit and always watch it when it airs. It can be weak sometimes but he's kept the soul for the most part.

I'm not saying the Big Rigs episode was bad, I actually liked it. However, as an AVGN episode? It really didn't have much anger in it and I found that really disappointing.

Maybe the AVGN started to go downhill a little later than that. I have grown up, so maybe that's why the AVGN isn't that great to me anymore. The older episodes still slap though.

This. There were bad episodes even early on, and there's been really good ones just in the last year

It's become less about the anger and more about his journey through life and suffrage. His Majora Mask and Earthbound videos are a high point imo since they are so down to earth.

To me it was around the Bugs Bunny episode or whenever it was that it became less about the game and more about the skits.

These days he seems to have highs and lows, the first slump I noticed was early 2010 when he admittedly was getting burnt out.

I thought the Contra episode was shit with the most basic opinions.

The only part about that I didn't like was that he didn't go into detail about how much Hungarian Contra 1 & 2 (the 3D PS1 games sucked.) Talk about two games way overdue for a Nerd thrashing.

When he got the camera upgrade

I feel like he does it just to do it now. They feel more like reviews with forced anger rather than complaining about how dumb or unfair things in the game are and explaining them.

It was him detailing his life's experience with the game. It was a mostly James episode

Yeah I never cared about the skits.

But to be fair I probably would have lost interest regardless. Happened to Zero Punctuation too and I can't point to anything specific there.

My favorite episode is Plumbers without Ties -- but like the others in this topic, they've been mostly hit and miss throughout in my opinion.
