Fuck, I love the expression on Mike's face. Serves him right for fucking over Bootsy among other douchey things. Worth it for that fuck do get less attention from James

Justin Sullivan
Nothing.
Although I do admit the guy's content and sense of humor hasn't really changed much. Appeals to my nostalgia sometimes with his ridiculously over-the-top combo curses but some of his humor hasn't aged well.
Regardless I hope he sticks to what he does best and doesn't do some ridiculous over the top shit in a desperate attempt to gain views. His peak has come and gone a long time ago and I hope he knows it.
Isaiah Brooks
They are one rich evan away of pure kino
David Cook
he's out of touch and all he cares about is 1980s nostalgia
he's supposed to be the angry VIDEO GAME nerd not the nostalgia nerd who doesn't know anything about video games.
at least he should try to mask his ignorance by pretending to know about stuff.
it's ironic how the nostalgia critic is more in touch with the modern world despite having nostalgia in his name.
having a VHS collection would be bad for anyone's mental health though.
Logan Gomez
James, I'm fat now too! That's what you like now right? Please let me be your only friend again. Pleeeease

Nothing.
He was keen on trends, and understood his schtick wouldn't last 10 years of regular uploads.
So he gradually semi-retired AVGN while expanding his brand into his love of movies.

The Projared drama is actually more complicated now since Jared admitted that he and his wife were in a polymorous relationship at the time. Which makes things weird. Jared also abandoned the state, possibly to avoid the cops.

So he says. If that's true, and she suggested it and was already sleeping around, their marriage was dead then. If it's true, it also brings her down from an 8 to a 4.

Did Mike show Jon his Loco Bandito comics after they had a discussion on race and crime statistics? I like to imagine so.

What happened? I've been out of the AVGN loop for a long time, last episode I remember is Seaman
Matthew Sanders
Well, there is a bit of irony. In the mid 2000s everyone criticized any fans (attempting to be creators) that copied the AVGN format. Now James is copying a format he's a fan of. It's interesting
Jacob Cruz
this is very true
Henry Young
bootsy disappeared completely on the site in 2017 with no explanation. Agter months of questioning by the fans, Mike says its for creative reasons why he left. Bootsy says he doesnt want to go into why hes gone. During 2017, people theorized bootsy was fired because he was political on twitter or that mike was jealius. Then around a year later, Bootsy complains how ads were placed in his bootsy beats series; indicating it was a money problem why he left. Some people began theorizing bootsy fucked claire, and thats why claire and mike split. Moke said this was false in 2019. Someone asked bootsy what he thought about james on twitter, and bootsy basically said he doesnt blame james as much as mike.
In 2019, mike and bootsy eventually opened up more to the story on reddit. They confirmed it was basically about the pay. Shit like DVD sales and his songs.
Bootsy seems to only be mad at mike and neutral to james and ryan.
Blake Torres
He stopped putting effort into Monster Madness once Youtube started copyright striking him for having clips of the movies.

James has been getting better, but they're clearly on a tight schedule and can't shoot for long enough to edit around his autism. Cutting down to three was a step in the right direction, so they're paying attention to the criticism they've been receiving.
Carson Taylor
Ooh you went too far, now I know you're not his wife. Many such cases. Sad! (not even she would approve of selling off his vid-cred cash cow)

Ian Cook
Nothing went wrong. Dude's been around for 15 fucking years and the entire atmosphere of the internet changed. If anything, the world did James wrong. He was always best boy. As the other user said his popularity hasn't really crashed significantly which is more than can be said for anybody from the early days of the platform.
Like seriously fuck, Castlevania II was uploaded in 2004. Just consider the fact that the AVGN has been around for longer than Marvel movies.

Dominic Flores
I think 2009 was one of the best years, it had the Bugs Bunny episode, Ninja Gaiden, and Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, some of the last genuinely funny episodes. It also had the more serious Castlevania retrospective that was pretty neat. 2006-2011 seems fair because, there were still some good ones there and it wasn't straight cringe yet.
Hunter Rivera
it's a bit relatable
John Gomez
Yeah, at this point we can't seriously consider AVGN going strong, it's more like on life support and brain dead, but the idiot family saw a TV special that said there's hope!
Jaxon Hughes
Piss off, child. I'm so glad you are a dying breed.
Henry Richardson
The Odyssey video is comfy. Transformers had a nice vibe too, with James chugging hot sauce for real to get an edge. Those were in the innocent days before everyone know what a Cheater Billy Mitchell was and still is, but it's still a neat video. In all seriousness, James has my respect and I wish him and his family well, even if his wife did seem to wish the site ill for a time. I don't hold grudges.
James Collins
user, I'm 95% sure you're not his wife, and if you are, how about YOU get a life. Who cares what some nobody thinks of some guy's hit Internet show? Hint: the more you care, the more I will get jollies imagining that it's really his wife. If on the outside chance that is true, then know that your tattoos and general build tell many stories as to your inner self whether you like it or not.
The more I think on this, the more I think you ARE his wife. If true, wow..you're like my ex..snooping online...neglecting your womanly duties;etc, all so you can exert more control over your little world, which includes your hapless man. Poor James, (in such a scenario), for he is obviously a dreamer who never lost his innocence in how big he could dream; poor him because I know only an overbearing woman could stand a chance of making him forget his joy.
Grayson Lee
Honestly, he didn't evolve with his audience. Being 40+ and doing terrible shit jokes for a video game review is just embarrassing.

Caleb Lopez

Alexander Gray
His older video were smarter; anyone with a brain can tell that all one needs to do is read threads like this to see how thoroughly his fans care concerning the quality of his finished "products". Now he simply caters to 5-year-olds, probably because it's safer, plus married life probably gives him no time to flesh out concepts with logic and style, anymore.

The world ended at the end of 2012 with a natural catastrophe. Three thousand years later aliens found the remains of our civilization and constructed a simulation based on that, for entertainment purposes. Everything you remember up to 2012 is based on real history, everything after that is part of an alien tv show. The first season was relatively realistic, in season two the ratings started to decline so they just kept amping up the drama.
That's how you end up with implausible story lines like Hillary being investigated by the FBI for a full season ending with the FBI just deciding to not prosecute some crimes, Trump winning the elections by using a cartoon frog, the Scottish referendum getting followed up by Brexit, the trans-rights circus, youtubers going into politics, etc, etc.
Landon Wood
Isaac Torres
My top 5:
-Frankenstein (James got the atmosphere perfect)
-Odyssey (yeah he had that shit thing and some immature
humor, but otherwise it was great)
-Atari 5200
-Atari Jaguar (getting into hacking was fun)
-Ikari Warriors (the chemistry between him and guitar guy was good and it was honestly an accurate reaction to the game, I think)

Sounds like you drugged him. Nyquil in his Jäger? Very sneaky.
Blake Ortiz
>Target audience matured
Post-1994 fags never touch the shitty games that suck ass. Hell, Post-1985 kids never touched the games he presented. He was really only playing to his age-group if not himself.
>Comedy didn't get much better.
I never thought the constant chocolate and dogfood diarrhea on everything was funny. And a 1-minute cursing tirade wasn't funny after 2007. And again, his comedy only appealed to 14 year olds.
>Didn't get serious until too late.
He started reviewing movies with a bit of knowledge in like what? 2013? He was just too late.
He should have gone more slowly with the video games so that he wasn't shitting on obscure as fuck games as early as 2009.
He should have slowly started doing sensible movie reviews as early as 2010.
He should have moved on to more modern video games by 2010.
And most of all he should have improved his comedy.
He was washed up by 2010, which made room for Jontron in 2012.
He just isn't that good, and frankly he wasn't that good to begin with.
Still better than Doug Walker though.
Doug was only decent when he was on his own and from 2008-2010.
Hell, when Doug met James, Doug had still not seen The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
What kind of fucking movie critic hasn't seen TGTBTU?
Their just two guys who didn't branch out or improve quick enough, which can partly be blamed on their age.
And while they were in the slumps, Jontron came in and did both of their jobs, and further branched out.
But hey, at least James gets laid.
Logan Harris

>They already played most of the best games to base videos on.
>The gag got stale.
>They canned Bootsy who was the only really charismatic person on staff other than James.
The nerd is still a good concept for a character but as others have pointed out they need to improve their comedic writing beyond just getting irrationally angry and swearing. One good writer and a co host with decent bantz would do a world of good.
Jaxon Ross
>>They already played most of the best games to base videos on.
How did this happen? Maybe he stuck with NES too long, but with all the classic systems and games, not sure if that's true or if it just seems that way.
Jason Myers
>The nerd is still a good concept for a character but as others have pointed out they need to improve their comedic writing
He's really taken it to its limit. I mean it's going on 200 episodes, been 15 years, he even did a movie (which sucked). There's nothing left but milking and trying to diversify, but all the other shit he does is gay unless you're an actual so yboy.
Adrian Allen
It takes a special kind of game to make a good video. It needs to suck but suck in amusing way if its just a boring game then its not going to be funny. Games that are glitchy and random and hard but still beatable if you're willing to bang your head against the wall long enough make for the best subject matter.
I mean video game culture is still rife for satire but the problem is that James is out of touch and doesn't know anything about modern games so he's kind of limited to the retro stuff which he's just about milked dry.
He needs to start playing modern games and start following modern gamer culture if he wants to be relevant. Comparing modern stuff to retro games he grew up with is fine, so is preferring the retro stuff but he needs new material and the easiest way to get it is simply to start playing newer games.

Nah. Stuff still made sense for a good decade after that. Then everyone started unabashedly revelling in ignorance and all corners of the internet got divided.

Has anyone else noticed how cult like the comments are on all of his videos? I swear that almost every single one I see is some variation of
>great work James :)
>15 years and this is your best episode yet
>AVGN is the only show that keeps getting better
I rarely see anyone criticize him for the bad skits, Irate Gamer-tier special effects, forced anger or overall just sucking at the game.
It's also suspicious thst I see absolutely no one talking about the fact that James is balding. It's gotten bad. He's actually starting to resemble the photoshops back when Cuckold Rolfe was a thing
Joseph Morris
>fans acting like sycophants
imagine my shock
Jonathan Phillips
>It's also suspicious thst I see absolutely no one talking about the fact that James is balding
no one wants to admit that they are getting older and the shows they watched when they were younger are getting older too, pointing out that james is balding is in a way confronting their own mortality, and they simply arent ready for it, which is why they watch that shit in the first place, to try and reconstruct their carefree childhood days. or someone just deletes the negative comments
Easton Brown
Holy shiiiiit! Year of the tang!!!
Landon Rogers
idk when a channel producing this content has 4.5 million subscribers I don't really question anything that's happening on youtube
Evan Roberts
No, there's something different with cinemassacre. Something about it is weird and it's not the same as underage fans worshipping pewdiepie or whoever. Then again, Mike is full Orwellian. I'm sure there's a few hundred marked words.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking; racing around to come up behind you again.

>his persecution complex and victimhood crusade has earned him a pathetically large amount of sympathy viewers
Boogie1488 is basically the worst aspects of reddit personified
Christian Jackson
Ryan is a fat fuck that sounds like Pee Wee Herman. Disgusting nasal pig.
Brandon Long
Yeah I hear you, but I actually don't think it's even a deep meaning for why people leave those seemingly brainless positive comments on AVGN even though it's obviously worse, significantly worse, than the older stuff.
They simply click the video and go DUDE AVGN LMAO THIS IS EPIC then when it's over they put zero thought into what they just saw and just move on to the next epic gamer video, perhaps leaving a comment on the way out.
Keep in mind these are largely the same people that unironically watched Nostalgia Critic/TGWTG stuff, Rooster Teeth, etc, and also the people loving the new Star Wars simply because it exists and is Star Wars.

I want to murder everyone in that room who isn't James. I guess Mike's safe too, just because J&MM is comfy sometimes.
Brandon Powell
How is pointing out the obvious fact that he is balding useful or helpful in any way? What would even be the point of it? Why is everyone so obsessed with balding anyway? Could it be a reflection of your own fears?
Logan Gonzalez
Whenever Toxic Crusaders was, that was his jump the shark moment. He's had some decent AVGN episodes since then, but it's never really recovered completely.
