He went downhill after 2014

wtf? the hair..? is this real?

and he is still the only good youtuber. deal with it, jontron.

I never once said anything about Jontron because he's an unfunny shitskin to begin with

But as someone who's loved the AVGN since 2006 it seems like his videos are just juvenile now and james is just obnoxious and loud. It's just growing up either, his old videos had a charm that his new ones definitely don't.

*not just growing up

What did that email mean by:

"Live like a windrammer as you fuck?"

Well, he still can do good episodes, Power Rangers and Gameboy were pretty good. Probably because he's a tokusatsu fan.

Nope. This is

he's 37, course he's gonna start going bald, that's how aging works

holy fucking shit??
didn't know he shaved

>shilling shitty P2P mobile games for shekels
Holy fuck you aren't kidding

This is the real JUST-tier e-celeb, dude.
youtube.com/watch?v=TbIzw7TZEsM

Not done an episode with it yet. They'll probably incorporate it into some joke/deep lore or some shit.

Is GC officially retro?

Because back then there were specific flaws that generated frustration with the game. Now it's just putting on a theatrical gimmick because it's required he make juvenile outbursts in every video. He's clearly sick of the persona but is forced to keep doing it because it got too popular for its own good.

...

holy shit that's what that dude looks like? Talk about no self respect. How can you live knowing you look like that?

we've been over this repeatedly

he was just-tier until he un-justed himself with his stance on nu-Ghostbusters

He's like the only western game reviewer worth a shit in other countries.

Moonland fans translate his shit just so that it can be uploaded to Nicovideo.

Nerd x Arino crossover when?

I hear Youtube has been pretty jewish with their money lately so I guess this is how James is trying to stay afloat?

I wouldn't say he's JUST tier but definitely not a fan of the sponsored stuff. Feels like he's trying too hard now to make you laugh instead of genuinely disliking the game.

Holy shit. Isn't that the Yugioh Abridged guy? At least he recognized he wasn't funny and started doing other shit. Didn't even laugh at him when I was 12.

Man I could barely sit through that Charlies Angles ep, and that's the very first time I felt that way towards an AVGN episode. I'm pretty saddened that his content sucks nowadays but hey, at least nobody can take away the good old episodes and the Monstermadness and YKWB and so on.

He doesn't look so bad.

>he actually watches those videos
>probably watches James videos too

user, you are the JUST

youtu.be/QV312ljwD2M eh...

Mike is also 37, why isn't he losing hair?

Sonic 06 part 2 and polybius were pretty decent desu. This one too.

I don't get all the hate Mike gets. Sure he's not as Good as James, but man, he's One funny motherfucker. Plus, he's much more informative than James when it comes to vidya and doesn't rely on some cheap act to be entertaining. Overall I think he's much better and more talented than most people say.

Charlies Angels wasn't great but nothing has been worse than Toxic Avenger

Fuck off Mike

Its not.
See /vr/ sticky.

Hey Mike

BROWN BRICKS

It's called "youtube will demonetize anything with any sort of offensive words".
Which probably happened to all his videos.

More like he's shekel for shillings.

He really should not have dropped the Bullshit Man or the Board James segments.

That was pretty funny though.

he ran out of material to work with since he has basically played every classic game there is out there at this point
and thats one of the main flaws he has is just sticking to classic games imagine if he started ripping the new battlefront 2 game a new asshole

Nerd is about as much of a reviewer as Arino is. Which is, not at all.
I don't understand how people keep calling him one, the episodes are jokes, not actual reviews.

...

this. I think he had to find another way to monetize to support his wife and two kids not to mention keeping cinemassacre crew employed.

does Sup Forums have a better idea?

get the fuck out Mike no one likes you faggot

Chad genetics.

He probably should do like everyone and just wait for goku.

Also patreon.

James has legit autism.
I say this as someone who knows him and his wife (I'm related on his wife's side).
BUT some things to know:
He did NOT spend all the money he earned from his movie actually on the movie. In fact in April of last year he bought a half million dollar house (exactly 500,000) STRAIGHT OUT with cash. I remember April bragging about it at the last reunion saying some (not all) of it came from the kickstarter money.
Their daughter is not autistic, retarded OR half-black. She did have some issues though, but when I saw her she seemed fine.
James is a TOTAL pussy. For example ever since I've known him (going on a decade now) not ONCE has April let him spend holidays with his family. They always spend it with ours.
James almost never talks when he is with us. A few times we visited them in their old house and even then he was just... spergy. Like every time he acts like a literal autist.

He ran out of games to play. He used to review games that pissed him off during his childhood but he has propably talked about all of them by now. Despite that, i still find him entertaining. At least he didn't quit AVGN to make a shitty unfunny gameshow like his friend did.

...

thats just as bad because then he would plaster his patreon link everywhere and tell everyone about it just like every mother fucker and their mom is doing

Who? Doug Walker?

Yup. I thought it was obvious

it's my show

The problem I have with Mike is that he's dumb as fuck. That by itself wouldn't be an issue, but James trusts the guy too much and takes everything he says at face value.
A lot of times Mike will say something retarded or flat out wrong while he is pretending to be an expert on some game or console, and James just goes with it because he doesn't know any better.

What about the part about the beaners?

I'M ALWAYS ON DUTY

>hurr durrr if you like must you must be him!
>implying Mike would come here and talk to you shitters
don't make me laugh
name one(1) instance where he did this

Fuck off Mike

Nice fanfic.

I dont know about you guys, but Im personally loving this new direction avgn is going. Hes review modern games, and the script IS BEING WRITTEN BY ACTUAL GAMERS. that metal gear solid III line there made it so obvious mike and ryan took part in the script writing. BUT THATS A GOOD THING. Finally, the nerd is in character for being an actual video games nerd and not james himself. And also, i think james did something with his hair, its looking better. I will say tho, the video itself was just okay… because i think the charlie angel's game is just pretty bland, and asses ARE really hot, so it was sort of like watching james bashing generic ecchi shit. Like what you expect? lmao.

>inb4 t. elvis8atari

I am being 100% genuine when i say i love this new direction of avgn. And i thought sonic 06 part 2 was great too. And i aint just some blind new video follower. I was pretty critical of polybius and treasure master vids.

I think its safe to say, a new era of avgn had started with treasure master
>10 mins
>promotions
>more screenwave media influence
And gameboy accessories was the end of the 2013 one. As for 2013 - 2017, i think tiger electronics, paper boy, seaman, and 10 year anniversary were the best episodes and am pretty satisfied looking back on it. And im looking forward to this new era.

That mgs line was really unexpected butI liked it.

Why did you think El Loco Bandito would be a good idea Mike? Are you sick in the head? Even as a Sup Forumslack you disgust me

I think pretty much every episode after Tiger Electronics has been bad, but I agree his MGS3 reference threw me for a loop, I find it hard to believe he's actually played it and I think he has people writing his script now.

I'm not Mike you stupid motherfucker kill yourself I just think that Mike isn't that bad but you fuck heads are so delusional and because of your autistic down syndrome genes that you cannot comprehend that, you fucking imbeciles. you'd be better off drinking bleach than breathing in this planet's air for another minute. I hope you all get bronchitis

I think he was probably playing the game with someone and he included their observations

This is an esoteric piece of art

youtube.com/watch?v=VCYetaKe9L4

2011 for me

>people actually respect him after this autism
yeah and I am the virgin

You can't deny that the tiger episode had one of the best jokes in avgn history
>64 bits
>32 bits
>16 bits
>8 BITS

>2 BITS

>1/2 BIT

No mine

He has to pay for his mulatato (portemanteau for mulato potato. I heard his wife got another bastard too.

Yeah. I think Tiger electronics is one of the best episodes ever. I dont know why, but i can just keep rewatching over and over again. It has has many classic moments as the 2006 and 2007 episodes.

Somebody fills me in on the whole Bootsy affair ? I heard he was fired like a dog for whatever reason.

It really is his show.

>that picture with mike surrounded by obese people
Makes me sick.

...

yeah, i was like "oh a new AVGN, neat" and i see this opening ad....my heart actually sank. I still like james but that shit is.....sad.

the adpocolypse is dissolving youtube

three factors

Direction change. Screenwave media felt that cinemassacre should focus more on modern game video game discussion. Its why now of days, we have vids of just mike and ryan sitting down and talking about new games or mike playing cuphead. Mike and bootsy itself was beating a dead horse of whoring out(not to say their vids werent entertaining), but lets face it: James and Mike Monday was created soley for chasing the Lets Play fad, and mike and bootsy was created to chase the revenue of james and mike. Only problem, by 2015, the video game community was sick of lets play shit, so there was no point in chasing the lets play fad with mike and bootsy, because the fad was already gone. Sup Forums likes to shit on ryan, but you guys need to realize, talking about modern games like this is the best way to go instead of 8 bit nostalgia shit thats already covered by james and mike.

Mike was flat out jealous of bootsy. Just watch the back to the future III and silver surfer videos where bootsy btfo's a hard ass game that mike was swearing a storm at with no problem. I dont fault mike as much though, because i myself can be a jealous cunt of people, and i think its good to reduce stress.

bootsy kept spamming fuck drumpf shit on twitter and cinemassacre wanted to be politically unbiased. I agree, because people like Douge's trump bashing jokes make me cringe like pluto nash review.

SOOOO, I say, mikes jealously is what started it. The direction change in content is what heavily influenced it, and bootsy spamming political shit is what gave them an excuse to boot his ass off cinemassacre.

Honestly, he should make a patreon. That way he can make all the shit he wants without selling out to jews

lol, cute mike post. anyone got the links to the mirrored videos that he is now ashamed of?

i actually laughed at the elmo one that everyone threw a tantrum over. FUCK ELMO,
HE'S FOR RETARD CHILDREN.

well, there is also the chance that Ryan probably asked him to promote it...

i believe the mike/politics thing but not 'direction change'. Bootsy beats has more views than anything mike and ryan have done

>deal with it
How's 2010 and when are you going back

He's always been just-tier.
What are you on about?

i take that back they're about the same

>those videos from his student tays
The guy is full on sperg

honestly, sounds about right. yeah the retro thing is played out. i find it funny that amazon lanched some retro store or whatever and it had links to people playing retro shit on twitch and none of that shit ever has more than 3 viewers. maybe when mega man 9 comes out we will see an uptick for mega man stuff but other wise, the younger gen is now finally old enough to buy shit and they all want the last of us.

>yeah the retro thing is played out.
Yet the retro youtube scene is blowing out like never before.
Lazy Game Reviews,Nostalgia Nerd,Obscure Nerd,8bit games,Game Sack,My life in gaming and tons of others.

i often re watch that one and the NWC one. pat and james together was a good combo.

Even sadder are the fanboys defending him in the comments. Like yeah, he needs to eat too, but I still have the right to feel uneasy about a guy I used to love just casually starting to hawk shitty mobile games filled with microtransactions. Feels scummy as fuck and gives the impression he's just doing this for money at this point rather than any passion to review crappy games.

Bootsy beats is stupid. Youre correct it has more views than mike and ryan vids, but, its only 4 videos. Not only that, its 4 vids that came out 2 months apart. Also, maybe its different for retro gamers, but i just dont get who would be the audience for bootsy beats. because i much rather see an actual speedrunner for retro games teaching me how to beat battletoads than a musician. And just who the fuck would want to watch someone to discuss stupid 8 bit shit thats irrelevant now?

Mike and ryan, theyre obviously far from great, but give them credit that their modern games discussion vids get a consistent 100 k views. The bootsy beats, who knows, maybe bootsy would become some meme legend where his series get a million views a vids like nostalgia nerd and what not, but fundamentally, i just think bootsy beats is just muh nostalgia cancerous garbage, and i already get enough of that from james and mike. I will say this though, i give bootsy beats props for teaching good game strategies; certainly more informative than mike

Who remembers 8 bit Mickey?

Just sounds like a shy guy desu.

He already covered all the outstandingly shitty games

What did you expect?

>be James
>know nothing about modern games
>suck ass at them
>your rage is dependent on how much you suck at the game rather than any real flaws

James is at peak JUST now, and it's only going to get worse

Oh yeah you're right you have to say now kek get cucked soyboy aylmao trump trump trump ! kekistan

DAMN I SURE LOVE FOUR CHAN CULTURE

Wrong, check this list out made by seanbaby like 20 years ago

seanbaby.com/nes/nes/w20-1.htm

There's plenty to choose from, not to mention an endless array of mediocre games like Independence Day which he did a decent review of IMO, proving any game that's even average can be a good episode.

HEADS UP

cinemassacre(insert dot here)com/2017/12/06/avgn-charlies-angels/

You all should post your thoughts on the avgn ep on the cinemassacre page here. Theres very little comments here like on youtube, so theres a high chance Mike James or Ryan WILL read your review if you comment here lol.

h-haha y-yeah mike
