GeminiDeus 10/21/23 11:57:38 AM #7:	In one of his videos, I think where he re-reviews his first couple videos, he stated that he originally didn't plan to make any more after the Castlevania II video, pointing out how poorly his clothing was, like he just didn't care enough.

I was born in 76 so I'm about 4 years older than him and very much a kid of the 80's and in the early days most of his videos were NES games which were very much my childhood and some of his humorous thoughts in the videos on specific games were legitimately exact thoughts I had like landing the plane in Top Gun, a certain step in TMNT, dying in Nina Gaiden and being sent back to 6-1, stuff like that. His power glove video was gold. I really really laughed at some of his videos and because of strong nostalgia I always will. No matter who came up with the idea of the videos or the story for the scripts it resonated strongly with me and always will. I actually like some of his modern videos as he isn't going "full nerd" with the over the top anger and antics. It's just some of his thoughts and background information which I enjoy the way he covers it. i'll always be a fan. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.

Guess he was trying to focus on his shitty movie career. If you watch his retrospective of Contra it wasn't a AVGN. But I don't think he faked those memories just a story of a dork trying to wake up and beat it. The game. Before school. I am kinda drunk too from last night and a Discord.

Prestoff 10/24/23 1:00:15 PM #43:	I remember saying James at a meet and greet, a long time ago, that he doesn't seem to be that angry anymore. He responded with, "I guess I have to make the episodes when I'm in a bad mood. Ha ha." Which honestly probably makes a lot of sense why his angry shouts feels like phoned in anger as oppose to some of his older videos where it either sounds real or is real. With that said, yeah the new AVGN movie was just hilariously...unfunny. It's not even a so bad it's good, but bad that it is bad. It was really hard to get through, which is a shame because from looking at the behind the scenes it seemed James and others had a really fun time with it. I don't blame him though, he's happy where he is and to me that's all that matters. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:976835092] in The AVGN....

Kamil 10/27/23 2:20:24 AM #44:	I never knew anything about the movie except that happened and he reviewed ET at the end. Somebody briefly uploaded the first fifteen-twenty five minutes to youtube. Which I thought was going to be the best part maybe a Gamestop meets AVGN and that wasn't funny. I think a lot of the actors and the production were probably good but if if I didn't like the first part of the movie. I doubt it gets any better for me, But I can still appreciate how his gimmick that he thought was a throwaway thing initially got him to make a Hollywood movie? A movie. He didn't even flash his junk or have any onlyfans heh --- "A lesser talent couldn't have pulled it off. But I'm willing to bet on BoJack Horseman.
