What happened to his videos recently?
It feels like he completely lost his drive after the movie. I can't even watch his new stuff anymore, all the white-hot rage is gone and his acting is terrible now.

>>377331954
get this e-celeb bullshit off /v/
>>377332457
Don't tell me you morons actually believe this cuck shit.
Anyways, he's fucking old and tired. He doesn't even like video games that much. He's more interested in films and his own nostalgia.
>>377332869
>Doesn't like video games THAT much
Have you seen all the shit he owns? He LOVES video games. It's not like he bought all that retro garbage after he became a Youtube hit.
>>377332662
>>377332625
that baby doesn't look black to me
>>377332869
Dude owns a massive collection of retro games, I don't think he likes newer games but he definitely has a passion for old ones. You could feel his passion in his older videos too.
Also if people can make millions off bullshit like Jersey Shore or being Kim Kardashian I think it's fair that people can make a living off Youtube. I can't imagine he makes that much since he only releases one nerd video a month that get around 2mil views, Compare that to Pewdiepie who releases videos every day that get around 6mil views in a week.

>>377333509
Some of it, yeah, but he had a pretty big collection before he ever started making videos. He's sitting on tens of thousands of dollars' worth of video game shit, most of which is not going to significantly appreciate in value, and I can't imagine his wife or daughters will want most of it when he passes. If he really didn't have any passion for vidya then he would have sold most of it a long time ago. Most of it does nothing but take up space and collect dust.
>>377333812
No shit, genius
>>377333957
I don't really understand the dick sucking
I really wanted to like the Sonic 06 episode but it was the worst one in a long time, only posting about it now since I was just recently reminiscing on old AVGN
The Power Rangers episode was great, the fuck are you talking about?
>>377334008
Nope. In the Megaman episode he said all he started out with was a few NES games. He also said it in one of his Nerd Room tours or some other video.
>>377334192
Well even if that's true, why is he holding onto all of it? Most of that stuff really serves no purpose to him after he does a video on it.

I dunno it was pretty boring. The random insults tacked on the end were pretty cringy.
>>377335160
It was boring but at least I could sit through it all. It still had the nerd feeling of just watching a really irritated guy play through a game rather than feeling like somebody going back and editing through a game video to make dumb jokes.
>>377335153

He should have kept the video quality like his older videos. His new videos look too crisp and clean.

Beats getting a real job.
the power rangers episode was great, it really felt like he was some autistic nerd playing with toys using his vivid imagination

Are there any shit games he hasn't covered at this point?
>>377336130
Limbo of the Lost
>>377336130
Your favorite game
>>377336130
Plenty since he rarely covers anything above SNES gen games.
His humor was a lot better in his older videos. Not because what he was doing was a 'fresh' or 'new' thing, but because he was legitimately funny with breaking the fourth wall, his rage was a bit relatable in games as well as over the top in a funny (not cringy like it is now), and I feel he had a better grasp of the content and era of the games he was playing, especially in the NES era. He just knew how to create satire out of the realm he was most comfortable in, which is why videos like him going over Jason, Friday the 13th, and Ghostbusters were some of my favorite episodes.
I think James also got burned out of doing the same shit for awhile too. I want to like his avgn videos now but I'd be lying to myself if I thought they were as good as before
>he ran out of games he had nostalgia for
>>377331954
I mainly watch his movie related stuff nowadays. Monster madness has and always will be gold.
>>377336539
>always will be
he discontinued that series lol, I guess because it was actually good.
>What happened to his videos recently?
Middle age
>>377336648
He said he's gonna do similar stuff in the future, just not as frequent as it used to be, i.e. not a whole month's worth all at once.
>>377336768
reminder Mike posts on /v/ and /vr/, he made the huge penis meme and shits on James to look better than him.
>>377336768

>>377333043
>his own nostalgia
I like how on James & Mike Mondays, james is pumped with his nostalgia stuff, even videogames, and Mike is there like "huh huh. yeah... who cares (fake laughs)"
>>377331954
His new stuff has been pretty stale for a while but he's still always been surprisingly fresh at the same time in terms of effort and it hasn't been unsatisfying, I liked what he did with the Berenstain Bears video. However I watched like half of the Sonic 06 video and it was pretty hard to watch
>>377332908
>implying eceleb videos don't belong on /v/
What happened to this guy anyways?
>A-at least I still have my hairline...
>his true passion has always been horror movies
>mostly reviewed games he felt nostalgia for
>those were his best videos
>already ran out of those games
>wonder why his vidya videos aren't funny anymore
>>377333094
Mike lent him more than half of the shit he covered in the first years, the rest was sent by fans or bought for the sake of making a video about it.
He doesn't give a shit about video games outside of the ones he played or heard about as a child, just look at how he behaves in James and Mike videos. He doesn't know jack shit about anything old or new and it's painful to watch him interact with shit like a PS4 in the Godzilla video.
>>377335798
>Mike's Wit
Watch him play BOTW. The boy ain't sharp.
>>377338008
>Godzilla
Isn't that the one where they couldn't find the vs mode and would go to online mode? Both were pretty retarded there
>He doesn't know jack shit about anything
Anything from the PSX James is like "Really?". Mike is like that too around the PS2 era. In fact many games they play is what fans ask them to play like you said, even Mike, for some reason they suck at playing
>>377338164
Even in 2d games he makes stupid mistakes and then he doesn't get it why he failed.
Nerd is running on fumes, he long ago finished with retro games he either A. remembers hating as a kid or B. is a movie-based game he can make "I don't remember that from the movie!" jokes off of.
>>377337964

Where's the video footage of this? How come there's not video footage of Mike's bulge even though he's been in videos for over a decade? Who obtained these bulge pictures and posted them here even though they're not from anything in particular?
....oh. Hi Mike.
>>377334085
The best part about the '06 review was when he cuts himself off before repeating a cliche and then puts the game in.
He really had fun with the green screen on this one. I would've liked this episode more had he spent more time on it. He didn't even get to Shadow and Silver, and the ending was okay. Guess he only had so much time.
My favorite recent one is the Mega Man games one, hands down. He made a whole epic out of that episode.
>>377332843
>didn't go overboard
>the episode where 80% of it was "hey check out my new green screen" tier material
>>377331954
>lost his drive after the movie
Oh no it's spongebob all over again
>>377343039
Way more tolerable to me than the mega man games style of episodes
>>377333240
It's not even /pol/ you stupid fuck. It was a meme that happened based on the love interest scene in the AVGN movie, and his sudden lack of anger in like the last 30 episodes.
>I didn't research it before I posted that.
No shit> Think / lurk before you post so people can stop blaming shit on reddit / pol.

RT wasn't giving them any sort of we're-friends discount for a Game Days appearance, so they got Game Grumps instead as a side act, and the entire Q&A felt lifeless due to both fandoms rarely intersecting, with more GG fans being active in the audience than Mega 64 ones. Rocco also just got out of a bad Mariel thing and a giant Tumblr scandal over the fact he was (maybe) using the Mega 64 coffer to fuck fans all around the US, with Sam Hyde being involved to a degree, and he looked like he was running on autopilot for most of the time
That was a couple years ago, I have no idea if they've improved beyond sucking Kickapoo and Nintendo's cock

Jesus people act like you can pull off playing the same character for over a decade without the quality dropping. Not even TV professionals can keep a series going this long without the actors getting burnt out on the characters and the writers losing focus. Yeah it's not as good as it used to be, but how can anybody reasonably expect it to be?
>>377336435
i never watched avgn when it was new or anything but i watched a couple of recent episodes and i dont know if i was just unlucky but they featured him as well as a time travelled version of him and overly relied on old vids, it was fucking trash
>>377350571
they havent, they do shitty lets plays behind a patreon paywall now and the podcast is really fucking low energy to the point that the only person who seems to care is eric
Most post-movie episodes suck, but Paper Boy was pretty good for a recent one.
>>377335382
This. AVGN was only truly good when the videos looked low effort and james just sat there drinking beer while looking miserable and talking about shitty games. It had a subtle tone to it that disappeared completely after the first 4 years or so.
>>377353827A VaGiNa
Mike is a good guy I am glad he is owner of Cinemassacre I dont like how Silvagunner Is making fun of him.
>>377354473
I don't think it's that simple. It's also a question of the content he bases his videos around, and how creative he gets. Some of my favorites that I think are his best are the early peripheral/console-based ones, and stuff like Nintendo Power or games he actually liked, like the Castlevania and Mega Man videos.
I get what you mean. When he gets angry, I generally liked it best on or before Silver Surfer.
>>377355356
Mike, this post is painfully obvious it's you

Welcome to 2012
>>377337818
If you have ever watched an episode, you should have noticed that they suck at video games.
James always complained about not being able to kill every single thing on the screen.
"WTF I CANT KILL THIS ENEMY NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY, I CANT HIT HIM"
You're not supposed to, fuck head. You're supposed to jump over it and move on.
>>377334445
favorite: tiger. In an age were most of the games avgn plays these aren't something he played as a kid. You can tell his frustration with tiger was somewhat genuine
Least favorite: ikari warriors. Shit was just borinf and had a really long unfunny imrpov song about the game in it
>>377337998
obvious reason. I don't give a fuck about weird ass obscure games that he's never played.
>>377338008
>pitiful to watch him
But doesn't this remind you about how much of a beta loser YOU are when you're mad that he doesn't care about classic video games as much as you?

I heard Rocco's Ex got angry that he tried to keep the relationship a little bit too secret from the public and overreacted by posting story's about him cheating everywhere. The story that he and Sam had the same girl ( not at the same time) is still a little bit of a mystery but could be real.
>>377333150

>>377358526
>meltdown on /vr/
When did this happen?
>>377340990
The green screen is the best meta joke in that video
Because it just emphasizes how out of place normal people hanging out with Sonic fucking Hedgehog
Got married, had a kid, got to achieve his dream of making his own film, and never really liked video games a whole lot beyond hos nostalgia for retro consoles; only doing the nerd videos because he struck gold with good comedy and likeable character/branding in the early days of Youtube and Screwattack when there was practically no competition. Of course he doesn't give a fuck now.
Does James do work outside of AVGN and Cinemassacre? Is he able to support himself on revenue from AVGN, Cinemassacre, and merchandising alone?
>>377331954
What's the best season of AVGN
>>377331954
The peak was the Ghostbusters era nerd, pretty much anything after 2008 is soulless
I thought he's had several good episodes after the movie, like Atari Sports, Tiger Electronics and Power Rangers.
