I meant James. My bad.

Been watching since 2006. I've noticed a decline in the campyness that first attracted me. His first couple videos are heralded as terrible, and he himself has said so, but I find them so surreal and bad that it makes them fun to watch somehow. I'm not sure if that makes sense but I liked the low quality of the older videos. Over the course of time he's sort of gradually become more concise and organized in how to make his videos, and the surprises and over the top aspect has been toned down. It also feels like at first he just did it for a little bit of fun and didn't give a shit if it was that great or not, but then later started to really get down to becoming humorous, or at least trying to be. Some shit was insanely unfunny like Shit Pickle, or the dread Bugs Bunnie's Crazy Castle review. So to me it's like any show I've ever seen, it's hit and miss.

However, the newer stuff isn't entirely bad or uninteresting. It seems like he is trying a bit too hard sometimes, and the ideas are flatter and uninspired maybe because he's running out of ideas after 100+ episodes.

I also personally thought the Ikari Warriors episode was cool just because I always liked Kyle. Mike is a total douche bag and ever since his introduction I've noticed more of Jame's videos becoming less and less funny. Whether that's because of Mike or not is something I don't know but it seems like a big coincidence. Oh and forget the Mike only episodes, he doesn't know what he's talking about and I can't believe James even let him make his own uninspired shit.
