Me too. I was actually starting to get sad.

It would have made a lot of sense, too, considering the Ten Year Anniversary passed recently.
Although I believe he's said he will never fully retire the Nerd character.

>I hope the movie isn't a piece of shit, but it looks like its going to be some incredibly forgetable generic movie that will get watched once by fans, then fall into obscurity.
Probably.

But it's a fan-funded independent film made by a YouTube video game nerd -- what did you expect?
I just hope that it's at least entertaining, which I'm sure it will be. James is a good film maker.

One of the worst, but what do you expect from such a busy guy. I've come to terms with the fact that these "holdover" AVGN episodes are not made for me; they're for the more vanilla fans.

>Which is your favorite episode?
I'd honestly have to say the TMNT 3 Movie Review, but I also enjoyed Winter Games a lot.

>Predictions, hopes, expectations, etc.
Looking forward to Monster Madness as usual. I also have hope that the post-movie Nerd episodes will be better, but who knows. The movie should be fun. Probably forgettable, but harmless. I'm just excited to see someone I've essentially "watched" for a decade live his dream.

>Hating on Mike Matei and others.

>What did you guys think of the last episode -- "Desert Bus"?
I thought it was pretty average, but better than most of the post-movie episodes.

Any of the ones where he talks about consoles in-depth, like the colecovision/intellivision or the tiger handheld ones.

>Predictions, hopes, expectations, etc.
I sometimes wish the James and Mike play videos were a bit longer. Nothing over twenty minutes mind you, but it's a little disappointing to come in on Mondays and see an eight minute video waiting.

>Hating on Mike Matei and others.
When Mike is calm and not trying to be funny he's a pretty okay guy. In the Atari videos he's even somewhat enjoyable, like when he's talking about Kaboom or playing Breakout. Whenever he gets excited though it's really grating. Listening to him play Punch-Out was almost embarrassing.

>Predictions, hopes, expectations, etc.
AVGN movie comes out after Desert bus as Episode 120 and the series ends on an even number. The quality of AVGN is going down and he doesn't seem like he's feeling it anymore so I think it's best if he just let's it rest. I'd like to see him talk more about movies and stuff. He seems much more passionate about that. I watched It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World after watching his favorite movies of all time episode and I really enjoyed it.

>Hating on Mike Matei and others.

sorry to list so much. I love the history lesson episodes!
>Predictions, hopes, expectations, etc.
as of now, I don't have the same expectations for his nerd reviews, even though this new one was quite good, in my opinion. As for the movie, I'm a bit uneasy about it, but I wish him luck, and will certainly pay to see it. I enjoy his movie reviews, and CANNOT wait for Monster Madness. I think it's tied with his nerd videos. as a matter of fact, I watched the entire Sequel A Thon month earlier this evening with some friends. it's so informative and entertaining.
>Hating on Mike Matei and others.
I don't necessarily have a problem with Mike, but I find him trying too hard when it's him and James together. he seems to butt in a lot. Also, a problem I noticed while watching his top 10 obscure SNES and NES games, though I enjoyed the two videos, was that he finds the need to cuss and use "cussing jokes" like the nerd does. he's good at explaining things, but the cussing jokes don't necessarily work with his voice. if you guys haven't checked out those two vids, go try em. they're not bad, except when he tries the jokes, which is only like, twice per vid, so, it's bearable.

I like AVGN, but I don't consider him a "reviewer". He's more of an entertainer, as he doesn't analyze games objectively but rather based on the nostalgia factor or on his own experiences with the games as a child.

There's a recent video where he says the "nerd" was a satire he came up with in his college days where he joked to his friends about aspie gamers and then they convinced him to do videos as that character.

Now he's whining about how he's running out of games to make videos about, he's trying to get guest appearances to pick up the slack for him, and he's increasingly relying on Mike's superior personality.

This guy has admitted he's over the whole nerd thing and is pigeonholed to it because he needs the income since he wouldn't be able to make a living doing anything else related to video.

I love the AVGN but more than anything I just really like hearing James talking about anything he likes. I can relate with him personally and I just feel very nostalgic.

That being said there's one thing that annoys the fuck out of me. He always blames LJN for making the awful games that have LJN stamped on the cover. I think that's some serious misinformation right there, since LJN was just a publisher.

He did a two part upload on Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure and it just stank of trying too hard to find problems with the game. Yes, it's commercial shovelware to advertise their theme park but to make a video on it is just going after the low hanging fruit; to stretch it into a two part video was just painful.

This is no different from someone playing Pepsi Man and making fun of it for being poorly designed

Publishers are part of making a game. Who chose to get the rights of Spiderman or Elm Street and made a game of it? who chose the devs ? who paid for all that and decided budget of the game? who decided the devs would have X months to make the game?

I don't know why video game players always have that mentality of thinking publishers aren't involved. It's pretty rare that finished games are handed in to publishers 'as is' for them to sell.

That's like saying only the devs are responsible of how bad Action 52 is, while they were given only given by the publishers a few days to come up with each of the 52 games.

Also when Grant talked about the Frigate music from GoldenEye being a mix of "A View To a Kill", one of the best James Bond themes, and "We Care a Lot" by Faith no More, Jon didn't even knew about the song. Grant tried to explain IT'S DURAN DURAN and then he was just screaming OH HUNGRY LIEK DA WUUUUUUUUUUULF LOOOOOLS!!!! It had potential on being an amazing interview but he's simply pathetic.

There's also that bit where Jon says "wow I was watching the movie and it's amazing how the game sounds like it" and Grant just says "Duh won't you expect a James Bond game to sound like a James Bond movie?". Overall I was really pissed off.

Not really a Nerd episode, but I like the vids where he talks about Super Nintendo vs. Genesis. Those were the first of his videos I saw.
Like most people, I really like any of the videos where it's just James talking about shit.

I have mixed feelings about the Nerd.

When I first saw his videos I was like
"Someone playing games that are 15+ years old?! Online?! and being funny?! YES!!"

I got to watch his show in it's prime, when he released videos every friday. When it came to the point when he stopped posting almost completely I lost interest.
What came afterwards (like the Ikari Warriors, the video with the old guy and such) I was greatly dissapointed and from there on, even on good episodes, I feel like he's forcing his lines or overacting.

I also hate how biased he is towards everything Nintendo. I love me some NES, SNES, Wii and such, but it's not the only, nor the best thing there is.

I do believe that the Super NES can output magnificent music if, again, was used by talented men.

And Desert Bus was a fucking silly episode, he knew it was bad, and it was apparent in the video that the bus was veering to the right long before the end.

>What did you guys think of the last episode -- "Desert Bus"?
It was okay. Maybe slightly below average. I think he should only stick to reviewing stuff that he's actually played as a kid or teenager, and not random stuff the Internet suggests because it's "epic" or whatever. The videos where he reviews newer things or stuff on PC he doesn't really understand comes off as forced. Big Rigs, the AVGN game, etc.

>Which is your favorite episode?
Sword Quest series, all of them. It was awesome to hear about the treasures you could win in real life, and where they ended up, that kind of entertainment mixed with information is what I think he should focus on. Sword Quest series was absolutely his best material out of the entire AVGN list.

>Predictions, hopes, expectations, etc.
Honestly, not much. It's clear at this point that he's run out of classic games he's played as a child and is just running on fumes. He plays the stuff that's popular or famous for being bad, unreleased games, pointless stuff we've already seen elsewhere. I don't need AVGN to tell me that Desert Bus is shit. It's a waste of an episode. Unfortunately, I don't see the show improving anytime soon, because I don't think James games that much anymore so he's out of material.

>Hating on Mike Matei and others.
Mike's annoying on cam, but I think he's more of a gamer than James is, plus he coordinates all the web stuff and uploads and everything. I get that people don't like his presence on the episodes, but I think the show wouldn't be where it is without him.

Yeah Mike manages pretty much the whole Cinemassacre thing while James only concentrates on creating the content.
I don't think it would have gotten this big without him.

And sure, he's kind of a sperg, but that's true for 90% of people who talk about video games on youtube.

I was surprised he banned me from Cinemassacre for calling his Top 10 GTA4 deaths "random youtube crap that doesn't belong on the site" while still saying that I like his reviews.
He seems a bit full of himself now after all this e-fame he got through James.
But again, that's no different from all the other youtube spergs.

He has never been in that many episodes in the first place.
Excluding his musical contributions, he played Spiderman in the Spiderman episode, then appeared as himself in Battletoads and then again in Ikari Warriors. That's three episodes (with one role that could have been done by anyone) between a span of TEN years.

I do kind of miss his insert songs (like Nintendo Power and Double Vision (even though the latter was a cover), though. Along with dropping Mike's title cards, the show has lost some of its former charm.

I was unaware of his opinion of the 99%ers but I went to the demonstrations and tried talking to them. I call it a 'demonstration' rather than a 'protest' because they had no idea what they were actually arguing for or against. It was just a bunch of very, very disorganised angst. And bad odours. What I did notice, however, is that the vast, vast, vast majority of the people I talked to (at least two dozen people; though hardly a good sample size, it can hardly be coincidence that out of the at least twenty-four different attendees with whom I spoke only three held different opinions) were very, very much anti-capitalist in their sentiments (though calling them Stalinist might be a stretch) and none had any understanding at all of how varying world economic systems work.

Though I believe that the demonstrators were honestly well-meaning, they were too misinformed/uninformed to actually ever accomplish anything, as is often the case with smelly people. And the demonstrations disappeared just as they came: without a murmer before nor after.

I still don't get how actual protests in Spain for an actual reason that actually had a goal and actually accomplished something could lead to this worldwide 99%er phenomenon. It's entirely bizarre.

I love P&T's work. Their magic shows are extremely clever and well done.
Seriously. I used to be a huge fan of them when I was studying performance, and they are the best at what they do.
They are masters of wit, timing, structure, irony... -- and they know how to use that mastery to create great entertainment.
As entertainers, I honestly can't think of anyone better.

"Bullshit!" and their other "political" work, however, is despicable.
It's some of the most sensationalist, "envelope-pushing" charlatan huckster Ron/Rand Paulian "Libertarian®", snide juvenile crap I've ever had the misfortune of viewing.

It wouldn't be so bad if they presented it as "this is our opinion," but instead they say, "this is objective fact, and if you disagree you're a fucking moron!"
Fine, say that -- but if that's the route you want to take at least put a fucking modicum of effort into objectivity; don't use dirty tricks like sleaze-ball editing, blatant disingenuity, deliberate fallacy, interviewing crackpots to represent the opposition while using "experts" and "professionals" to represent your side, presenting "data" and "opinions" from "non-biased" organizations (like the CATO Institute -- yeah, I'm sure THEY'RE not sympathetic to your agenda) the list could go on.

The sad thing is that I happen to find myself ideologically aligned with them more often than not.
I just get sick over the tone and approach they take.

Love their magic, though.

I think Colbert's idea is a meta parody, or a parody within a parody. See he's parodying a Right Winger, on Liberal media to an obviously liberal audience, but what he's actually doing is pandering to the viewer and then subtly lampooning them. Colbert is a representation of what Liberals think Conservatives are, and therefore Colbert is a parody of both, but more subtly of Liberals.

At least that's how I view him and largely why I don't like him when all my liberal friends do. He's a bad parody of a stereotype designed to mock the ideas of the audience and the audience isn't even aware this is happening.

I could almost accept the whole "we did Bullshit! in a 'bullshit' way to point out how you should think for yourself and not taken anything -- even us -- without your own analysis and thought"
but I've seen interviews with Penn and read some of his writing, etc., and I believe that they really meant Bullshit.
I don't think there was any irony to it.

I think that's what they say in defense to being called out.

He's just being himself in this video, instead of playing the over-the-top Nerd character.

He's talking about SNES vs. Sega Genesis and what it was like to be a kid during that console war.
Probably my favorite vid of his, honestly, even though it's almost nothing like his AVGN reviews.

Videos where it's just James talking about topics like this are my favorite because he has such a calm charm to him
and because you can tell that he is genuinely passionate about what he's talking about.

Hello there fellow gaming goblins, it's time for another retrotastic episode of the Irate Gamer! I was hanging around in my gaming room when I suddenly got my hands over this game. Now let's see if it's any good.
Crapping penguins! This game sucks more than that robot vacuum cleaner from teletubbies! Speaking of teletubbies, how come the marshmallows in today's cereal are different color than in my childhood?
I remember when I was a kid and you could walk to a supermarket and buy a box of cereal with plenty of colorful marshmallows. The cereal box would also include a small collectible toy. There were five toys total.
Butt the burger bot, abraham the radical skateboarding snowman, michael the arch warehouse worker, ted the bedhead, and my personal favorite: åke the martian plumber. I used to play with these toys all the time.
Now here's some little retro trivia about these characters: They were based on this japanese cartoon that never really made it to the US. The show was about this gang of revolutionists who were trying to assassinate the president. Speaking of president, what is the deal with airplane food? Why do they pack these peanuts in these packs that are impossible to open? Who are they trying to keep away from these? Face it: breakfast is ruined!

Well that's it for today's episode of the Irate Gamer. Remember to subscribe, and pay a visit to our webstore where you can get these awesome Irate Gamer t-shirts and mousepads.

I love the Nerd, but his movie is gonna bomb. The trailer for his movie doesn't look funny at all. It won't make it to theater, so I'm guessing it will just be a DVD? The DVD of his movie will probably sell less copies than all the DVDs of the show and episodes combined. No profit will be made.

It's gonna be a sad day, and a sad time for James, when he realizes his movie bombed and his career in making professional films is over.

Yeah, I've been saying this over and over too. It's gonna bomb, and it's probably not gonna be good by any standard. regardless if you know all the references he's gonna make or not.
Maybe some theaters in towns where they have big stupid gamer cons will air it.

I love James though, and I can't wait for the DVD full of extras. I'll buy two copies if things are looking really bleak.

I really feel for the guy, it's crazy. Misguided at every turn by fans and friends, stuck in the wrong generation, but genuinely passionate and nice.

>Misguided at every turn by fans and friends, stuck in the wrong generation, but genuinely passionate and nice.
Well said. James has the skill to produce a good film. But it should be a horror/comedy film. AVGN is best suited for episodes, in my opinion. Horror/comedies is where James need to be.

However, after the movie bombs, he won't earn enough profit to produce another movie. And because the movie won't be funny, no serious film producers will sign him or want to work with him.

I'm with you, though. I like James as a person, and I think his earlier AVGN episodes were hilarious. I just think he should have made a horror/comedy instead of an AVGN movie.

>> No.1674840

>What did you guys think of the last episode -- "Desert Bus"?
It was pretty boring. I prefer episodes with more actual game content. Also I didn't care for the whole ragequit scene and I saw through it immediately. But it's understandable since movie is on the way.

>Which is your favorite episode?
Hard to say. Some of my favorites are Ninja Gaiden, Ghosts and Goblins, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Ikari Warriors, and the ones I find absolutely hilarious are the Bible Games episodes.

>Predictions, hopes, expectations, etc.
I hope after the movie he goes into reviewing bad 8 and 16-bit games.

>Hating on Mike Matei and others.
I like Mike, eh can be pretty hilarious at times. I wish they did more videos with Pat though, I think they have good chemistry going on.

He's become pissed over the years that he lives in AVGN's shadow. At Magfest he didn't open the panel with the AVGN theme, and the only question anybody asked him was 5 minutes in, to play the theme. Hardly anybody shook his hand when they went up for signings at the end.

Not to mention with him being called the "Guitar Guy" might have seemed funny at first, but then he realized that's basically what he is. Nobody gives a fuck about his real name or his other work. He probably thinks since James calls him the Guitar Guy, he doesn't give two fucks about him.

All his other songs are crap, and he just isn't funny. Mike isn't very funny either, but Kyle, jesus. Every video he's in he acts like he's drunk.

>What did you guys think of the last episode -- "Desert Bus"?
It was okay, but it felt forced. I believe the main reason he reviewed it was to stop idiots spamming him with requests for it. Same with Big Rigs.
>Which is your favorite episode?
Hard to say, probably one of the console reviews or one of the games James played as a kid.
>Predictions, hopes, expectations, etc.
I'd like the series to end after the movie because it's clear that James doesn't give a fuck about AVGN anymore and cares more about movies.

Meh. It's pretty clear that he's just getting through all the major requests before closing up shop but it was still enjoyable. Could have done without the Penn & Teller dickriding though, never been a fan of magic tricks (I know, I know. I'll even post it for you.) or their outlook on things.
