Discuss AVGN
ASS
>>15927 (OP) It's uncanny how much shittier it got from the Atari Sports or Schwarzenegger Games episodes onward. It's like he completely forgot how to act. Up until then his performance was pretty detached and nonchalant, which fit in pretty well with the cool arrogance of the character, but afterwards he started over-acting like a bad theatre performer.

What did you think of the book?
>>16582 Death of a Hairline
>>16364 You have to keep in mind that James is basically retarded unironically. The only reason he isn't regarded the same as Chris Chan is because he doesn't like technology, internet and social media. James is 100% dependent on Screenwave now just as he was on Mike Matei before he called it quits. James doesn't even like video games. Mike was the one who got him into gaming in the first place and that was in college. James has this huge collection of laser disc, VHS tapes, DVDs, but he watches streaming services. He pretends to be a nerd, but has always used Mac. He claims to know all about directing, but he doesn't even work on his videos other than playing the Nerd character, he doesn't write or edit. He only did it early on when it was just Mike, Bootsy, Kyle and he. Those days are long gone. Since his kids were born, he has no time for that. You know how Chris Chan's speech, drawing skills, and basic functionality is getting worse with age? That's exactly what James Rolfe's like. High-functional retards age badly. James has a mind of a 13yo and I'm not joking. His wife is handler and lives his life for him, all he needs to do is spew out a few AVGN episodes a year so they can live off his mid-2000s fame. James doesn't give a fuck about AVGN, it's just a day job for him. He wishes he were a director, rock star or a writer instead. His idea of cool is what an 80s kid thought it was cool. Like lots of autists, James has peaked in his late teens and early 20s, in college. Ever since he started the James Nintendo Nerd series, he's been on a cognitive downward spiral. If it weren't for AVGN, James would live a very lonely, impoverished and painful adult life.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
>>16597 I believe it. It would explain a lot. Mike still plays video games on twitch and seems into them, but I think James was always more of a film nerd than a gaming nerd. >James has this huge collection of laser disc, VHS tapes, DVDs, but he watches streaming services. Grim.
>>17108 I've been saying this for what feels like 20 years, but James is a collector, not a gamer. He's never displayed much interest in video games aside from childhood nostalgia. He likes having big collections of games, old movies, board games, that kind of stuff.
uhuuu yeah yeah uhuuu yeah yeah yeah uhuuuu

Holy shit, this game is a steaming pile of digital diarrhea! It's like someone let a shitstorm loose inside a cursed arcade cabinet. Every level drips with more crap than a busted toilet in a sewage plant, and the controls feel like you're trying to defecate with a broken-ass plunger. If you’re looking to clean up your act, steer clear of this game, it's a festering dumpster of puke and poop that should never be released into the world!

>>15927 (OP) AVGN was a hero for keeping the spirit of the 80s and 90s alive throughout the 2000s. It's a shame he fell off.
>>16364 people figured out why years ago. He is unnatural and weird because he is reading everything from a screen. He literally doesn't give a shit anymore.
>>16364 You mean after Schwarzenegger and Atari Sports right? Those were the last good Nerd episodes.

Specifically wearing hats all the time, even inside like those two losers. Like you take one look at that picture and you can tell exactly which half of it stinks like shit

>2004 was 31 years ago
>>16364 It is more that he didn't even try to act before, but with movie and everything after he unironically bought into thoughtfully acting a persona instead of goofing it up on camera for shits and giggles with his friends. It is also clear that any kind of passion he had is long gone, if that was even his passion in the first place, it is a job that he fucking hates and it shows.
>>16582 Needed more internet talk. Starts off with a long childhood and college section before the AVGN setup. He goes from the AVGN production schedule, being busy with work and fans then straight to the movie. Barely talking about the Screwattack and Gametrailers era and all the interactions. After the movie he goes straight to fatherhood
>>18055 There are two reasons for this; 1. He wrote the bulk of it during college or immediately after college. The last third of the book is an afterthought Screenwave insisted he writes so they could publish the book and bait the AVGN fans into buying a James Rolfe book. They've misses the YouTuber autobiography trend by 5+ years at that point. 2. James never cared about his AVGN career. It's just something that brings him money. Ironically, he doesn't even write Monster Madness by himself. I guess his retarded mind started forgetting things he was actually passionate about. He's been turning into an NPC for over a decade now.

>>18054 I think that's closer to the truth. He just had an ease to everything he did that was seemingly lost when he actually started trying to "act". >>18142 Did you post this with a hat on your head?

>>18040 Feels like it tbh
>>16364 Allegedly James received acting lessons in the production of the movie, and Schwarzenegger Games was the first episode recorded after the fact.

>>16597 Parasocial headcanon detected
>>18130 The book he’s hinted at as far back as the late 2000s so maybe you are right in some way. The childhood section is pretty standalone and once he starts getting into the AVGN backstory when he meets Bootsy and Mike during his round 2 of college. These characters vanish after college for the most part. He spends a lot of time talking about the movie so I’m guessing that’s where he wrote most of everything new. The last parts of the book were fatherhood, then a mishmash of Rex Viper, Trump and COVID
>>20653 If he just had to write that throwaway line about trump back in immediate post-Trump America, imagine how much he'll have to complain in 2nd edition of his autobiography. Trump was nothing back in his first term. He's way more assblasting now.
>>20823 I'm thoroughly entertained watching the effects of the choice the majority of American voters made.

>>24016 Almost a decade
>>15927 (OP) James Rolfe? The inventor of kinography himself? On /vb/ of all boards??
>>15927 (OP) Why the hell bash Legend of Kage? It's a pretty decent NES port considering the time it came out. The controls are also not bad, they had to do something about the lack of a third button to jump and it worked out fine.
>>15927 (OP) He made an entire generation of video game reviews unbearably cringe.
Think he has a scat fetishes

>>17589 DEATH TO ALL LJN SHILLS >>27179 It's more of a "shit humor and sex jokes = edgy and thought provocative", that many got it into their subconscious during the early 2000's
>>16364 it was more nerdy when it seemed like he was just quietly seething about games rather than screaming about them
>>16597 >Not posting the unedited and clearly legitimate proof of James giving up
>>16597 It should be noted that he is autistic enough to be good at games, though. Sometimes. He's an idiot when he needs to think his way through a game, like when he got stumped by simple stuff in Castlevania 64, but he did brute force his way through Transformers and Street Fighter 2010, and those games are absurdly difficult. >>17157 >nostalgia I do think this was always the real appeal of his channel. It wasn't about video games, it was about nostalgia. And he used to acknowledge this. It wasn't about actually reviewing the game, it was about making comedy based on the recapturing the feeling of playing video games back when you were a kid in the '80s and '90s. He seemed to acknowledge this after the plagiarism scandal, when he got the Screenwave guys to lessen their involvement, and he released a video about the history of Nosferatu, which he, as a horror nerd, has nostalgia for. Then the Truthers just mocked him with "Muhsferatu," even though that video was much more in line with what they always said they wanted. That said, the Truthers are funny so it's fine. >>17706 You could tell once he started production of the movie things slowed down and got lazier, but then after the movie released he was burnt out and didn't care as much anymore, so even though he had the time, he no longer had the passion. Also he didn't actually have the time, because his first kid was born. But honestly, even this post-movie era is still golden compared to the Screenwave era. >>17946 It's obviously because they're bald. It's not like James always wore a hat before he started going bald. >>19390 I heard James's kid is retarded because Matei fucked his wife when she was pregnant, repeatedly bashing the baby in the head with his ten inch cock. >>27157 Originally AVGN wasn't about actual review. He likes Simon's Quest in real life. However, he clearly forgot the original appeal somewhere along the way. Probably when he ran out of childhood games to talk about, and had to play new games just for the sake of trying to make episodes about them. The original joke wasn't that the games were bad, it's that he was autistic enough to be mad about them almost twenty years later. >>27163 Only because they didn't understand it. They thought they were real reviews. Rolfe was playing a character. The others were only slightly exaggerated versions of themselves. Big Ryan fan, btw.
>>28072 >I heard James's kid is retarded because Matei fucked his wife when she was pregnant, repeatedly bashing the baby in the head with his ten inch cock. That's bullshit but I believe it.
