/vr/ - Retro Games

No.

>Arino
>e-celeb

>>3812246
Mark is irrelevant. His videos get, on average, less than 10,000 views. I would not say he is an e-celeb.

>>3812271

I like Dr. Ashen a lot, but, like most e-celebs, he seems pretty up his own ass.

>>3812296
Really? I think he's pretty alright. Just tries to hard to be the funny man.

>>3812246
That's a shitty OP image.
I mean, it alone starts fights.

>>3812306
>I think he's pretty alright.
He's definitely very entertaining and knows what he's talking about, but I always get an air of condescension and arrogance from him.

>>3812246
AVGN comes out like once every 6 months. His whiny, obnoxious friend completely took over the channel. Cinemassacre is no longer top tier. RIP

So it's been confirmed that Aaron from Retro Liberty caught his wife cheating on him, feel bad for his kids

>>3812324
>falling for the marriage meme
Serves him right.

>>3812276

I know. I can't believe he and his "friends" have been doing their videos for so many years and have utterly failed. The videos are shitty, not even entertaining and are usually for shitty games no one has heard of, and rightfully so. He has shitty taste in games, is shitty at making videos and probably is under 100IQ. It's the only thing that could explain it.

Guru Larry's 'Fat Cunt' is pretty okay.

>>3812403

nigga he is autistic and been trying to steal James channel since AVGN became popular.

>>3812320
i couldnt agree more. and im a huge avgn fan. i just dont give a shit about seeing mike at all anymore. if i never saw him again id be fine with that.

>>3812943
But I'm the comedic genius behind AVGN and he'd be nothing without me!!! -Mike

>2017
>hating on MOTHERFUCKER MIKE

>>3812978
Mike has always come off as that guy in Highschool that everyone hated.

The difference is, post-highschool people change and mature. Mike seems to have stayed exactly the same.

Hell, James' video series on Power Rangers is probably going to be fucking amazing, meanwhile no one gives a shit about HARD CORPS complete playthrough by someone who has the personality of a 12 year old.

>>3812310
I think that's just a side effect of that particular British accent.

>>3812320
You notice he even changed the channel's name to "Cinemassacre Plays"? James and Mike Mondays were alright as side content but he's desperately trying to turn it into a pure LP channel.

>>3813009
It's 95% let's play now, EVEN with Mike and Bootsy over with. The shelf life of LP channels has to be short. That trend won't last for much longer. Seeing as though Rolfe is burnt out on AVGN and Board James looks to be over, they'll just be a nostalgia movie and tv review site. They've been going downhill drastically when James left to make the movie (bomb) and Mike took over (bigger bomb). They've never recovered.

>>3813031
>they'll just be a nostalgia movie and tv review site

That's honestly what I've been wanting for years. The content I liked most from James are the ones where he's just talking about movies.

>>3813034
True. That's the site at its strongest. Mike has to force his way into everything (inferiority complex?) and it's a shame, because he's a pretty big stain on the site when you really think about it. James is great on his own. I understand that one man can't do it all, though.

What are some more good celebs like Pat?

Also, completely unrelated; is it really true Mike has a thirteen inch penis?

>>3813083
hi pat, can you stop doing podcast til Ian back, because you are boring as fuck without him.

>>3812332
James Portnow is a hack fraud who has never worked on a meaningful project in his life. The other staff for EC range from acceptable to good, but since James writes everything on the channel it's all ruined. In particular, Extra History is Texas textbook-tier fake history.

Jontron is such an absurd perfectionist that it actively harms his work. His move to pander to the Sargon fanbase is working like a charm, though, so look forward to his humor turning into political shit soon.

LGR is fun, but the guy's collection is so ridiculously large that the guy is guaranteed autistic. Honestly he should quit Youtube and just start a retro computing encyclopedia, he's totally qualified for it.

Ahoy hardly discusses games anymore, and most of his episodes are filler so he can play with his artwork some more.

CGP Grey is one of a long list of youtube celebs that ignore doing actual videos so they can run fucking low-effort podcasts. Also perfectionist to the point of hurting his work.

Redstone in Minecraft now that there's command blocks is a complete joke. SethBling was only impressive back when redstone engineering required some creativity, and not just finding new ways to route into command blocks.

Thoughts on My Life in Gaming?

>>3813149
they are well knowledge but heavily shill for krikzz in any way possible.

>>3813149
I like them. Well-informed and not obnoxious.

Why does no one ever mention pat the nes punk in these threads. He is easily the most recognisable/famous retro gaming youtuber

>>3813162
Because he rarely uploads non-podcast content anymore, and because he was always a AVGN wannabe

>>3813162
There was literally just a thread about Pat that lasted a week in which everyone ripped him apart and stole his book

>>3813149
Honestly love their channel.

Spoony's Swat 4, point 'n click games, and ff series are legendary.

Can't wait for this thread to turn into the usual Pat and Ian hate thread.

What does everybody think about Wood Hawker? He broke up with his Canadian girlfriend. So we can set up a green card marriage to a girl from Texas that looks just like the Canadian girl.

>>3813149
They're clearly on the spectrum, so they know their shit. I'm subscribed.

I heard the opposite from someone who goes to his church in Orange County. He was caught cheating on his wife with that Elizabeth Pano's chick at a con by Ricky. Ricky told his wife and the rest is history.

If you think GCCX is bad with that, (don't) check out Tokyo Encounter, it's an amazingly entertaining retro show but the off-camera team laughs at the end of every single sentence said by the hosts and by the third episode it becomes absolutely unbearable to hear/watch.

It's a crying shame because the show is really solid otherwise.

I like lukemorse1.

He doesn't have much intentional production value or anything outside of his video intro - most of his videos are just him recording whatever he is interested in doing at the moment and thinks is worth sharing. The definite plus side of all of this is that he is truly passionate about game things and covers stuff that very few of the "big" YouTubers would ever bother with (repairs, arcade hardware stuff, etc). He also isn't trying to shill for audio books or Loot Crate shit, so that's always a plus.

>>3812997

I get this vibe too. It seems like James has grown up, started a family, and is trying to move away from his inner manchild (while still collecting youtube $$). I sense a weird dynamic that has grown between James in Mike over the past few years. Like Mike is still stuck in his adolescence and he resents James for starting to grow out of his. No he's replacing James with the fat guy.

Honestly who cares

You know what, I love their little skits at the end of the episodes, frankly I think they ARE funny, they just aren't funny when they try to make smart jokes during their reviews or episode presentation, but when they do these skits of Joe being a retard and Dave bullying him is where they shine. They should do a sitcom or something like that, I'd watch it.

Like the one on this episode for example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J_f24jjVIE
(starts at 35:44)

Does James ever discuss fucking up old stuff in his videos? Off the top of my head IIRC he melts a 32X, "shits" on a Jaguar and chucks/smashes a bunch of carts.

>>3815025
>he doesn't know shit, which is why he always brings people onto his video
Isn't that better than pretending to know it all?

The only "e-celeb" I can stand is AVGN and mostly because of nostalgia from way back when he was starting, 99.9% of the later videos kinda suck. His other non-game related videos/reviews are pretty good, for the most part at least.

I also kinda started watching that pat nes punk way back in the day, as well as the myriad of "copycats" that started showing up and didn't settle for a unique gimmick/persona yet, but got bored to hell after a few, none could really hold a candle so I eventually quit looking.

Nowadays, I find most (and not only videogame-related) yt fags insipid, you can clearly tell how most started doing it out of greed for yt bucks and that can influence overall quality in my eyes. It's funny how sometimes I stumble upon a channel that I find really bland at first, but after checking earlier videos out of curiosity, they are miles more entertaining and "authentic" despite production values being considerably worse.

I don't consider Arino an "e-celeb".

Game Sack is far and away my favorite youtube vide dame show/series. I also like The Game Chasers, Guru Larry, AVGN (the 3 episodes he does a year), and Classic Gaming Quarterly. I also like The 8-Bit Guy but he's more of a tech guy than a video game channel.

>>3813009
Maybe he wouldn't have to if James made content more than twice a year

chrontendo's channel is comfy. he only updates a few times a year though

classic gaming quarterly is pretty decent

nostalgia nerd - generic name but one of the better retro pc gaming channels imo

>>3814389
>>3814418

Yeah, that's old news. He's since patched things over, if a comment he made on one of his videos is to be believed (and I believe his wife was in one of his videos, playing some sort of game that coincided with a TV broadcast).

>>3813134
>Jontron is such an absurd perfectionist that it actively harms his work. His move to pander to the Sargon fanbase

LibCuck detected!

>>3815179
CGQ is awesome. for whatever reason, his TG16 Launch video is one of my favorite youtube videos of all time. I love to put it on as I fall asleep.

it's weird how his "system launch" videos do so many more views than any other videos

and it's even crazier how many views the SNES one got.

I've been enjoying Game Boy World/Good Nintentions lately

>>3815087
The cute fat chicks thing works with me, I watch his videos when there's Kinsley

>>3813009
Its good though.

Before mike would stream on the main channel then move the videos to tye second. Now the streams and full playthroughs will be fully done on the second and be kept seperate.

Dont like streams and shit? Ignore the CP (lal) channel.

It sounds like James is going to be doing movie reviews regularly (on friday, thats why mike & ryan moved to saturday).

>>3813046
But james wouldnt be doing vids if it werent for mike. Or at least not like we know now.

Mikes the person who put the first avgn online and handles the channel.

Without mike AVGN wouldnt exist and james would be doing corporate video editing while making shitty movies on the weekend.

>>3813196
He sucks because he removed the thing that made him good and unique, being in australia.

Now hes just another dime a dozen chaser in texas.

Dude is a fucking idiot to break up with a canadian to live in texas though. Unless he and billy are gonna get married now.

>>3813239
He wouldnt exist.

James wouldve found out about youtube in 2013, same time as your grandmother.

>>3813729
This is more plausible.

Deleting his youtube channel seems more like a jilted wife thing.

>>3815098
At that point you should just be watching the other person.

MJR's only claim to fame is working at sierra.

Given that you'd subscribe to a channel that had content you really enjoyed, what would it be?
Informational stuff, historical stuff, reviews, funny video, just average let's plays, what?

JonTron is praised by gen Z kiddies who like his LOLSORANDOM humor.

Mike's Shitty Friend < Mike < James < Bootsy

>>3812971
he smokes a lot of weed on and off i bet

>>3816315
Correct although I'd place Mike below his shitty friend.
Also the guy who plays guitar should be between James and Bootsy.

>>3816062
Really? He looks normal to me.

>>3816351
Doesn't look like the kind of guy who would do drugs, I doubt he knows people who sell pot.
Mike looks like he consumes a lot of soda and stuff with sugar, I don't know why, maybe it's his bitchy voice.

I enjoy Conitnueshow, LGR, and the AVGN. I don't watch the other cinemasscre stuff unless its James talking about movies. Not that I dislike it or think its bad its just not the content I want from them. Are there any good channels that focus on being informative rather than comedy? Extra points if they focus on Saturn, Old Japanese PC stuff, or Dos gaming.

>>3816352

Fuck I forgot about Kyle. Kyle's excellent though, Battletoads, Ikari Warriors, and Spider-Man are some of the best AVGN episodes.

It's a shame he's not more involved in their productions.

>>3816315
Stop bullying Ryan.

>>3815087
Kelsey is HAWT. With that over bite and that face. You all know you would drop a load all over her little face.

And Victor still keepin the electric playground alive on youtube!

>>3816395
A relative of James Rolfe's wife claimed in another thread that Kyle was fired the same day as Bootsy. It wasn't confirmed though. Crazy shit, if true...... Mike's on a mission!

Any updates on Ian? Is he ok?

Boogie2988 is pretty awesome, super nice guy.

>>3816542
I think you mean James is on a mission. And you can't blame him. Kyle is dead weight. What kind of music career does that guy have?
And James was smart to get rid of Bootsy to keep Cinemassacre non-political.
Even if he didn't mention political beliefs in videos, it still reflects on them. Just look at JonTron.

>>3816575
How is Bootsy politically? Also, pot calling the kettle black. Remember when James refused to see the new Ghostbusters because it was all female?

>>3816580
Bootsy is an SJW liberal.

>>3816575
>And James was smart to get rid of Bootsy to keep Cinemassacre non-political.
So Bootsy made a joke about Trump on Twitter and gets fired, but Mike posts pictures of another man's dick, and uses James's YouTube account to lie about his dick size in comments every week, and that's ok? Doesn't add up. I'm not even defending Bootsy, he's boring, just saying that's fucking retarded logic

Bootsy Beats is probably the most boring videogame series I've ever sat through.

>>3816603
>sat through
Who forced you to sit through the whole thing, your science teacher?

>>3816603

He has a nasally voice.
He's uninteresting.

>>3816580
>Remember when James refused to see the new Ghostbusters because it was all female?
Please don't tell me there are actually people who only read the biased "journalism" articles and took them at face value.
Please tell me you're just baiting.

You know it wasn't for that, don't put words in his mouth.

>>3816580
No most people didn't want to see it because it looked like garbage.

>>3816404

I have to switch off and eat a salad every time I see Ryan on-screen. I'm normally not bothered by this sort of thing but he just radiates unhealthy, the heavy breathing and nasally tone probably don't help.

>>3816580
He refused to see it because it didn't have the original actors, and because Ballbusters was shitting on the original legacy.

>>3816643
That probably describes 2/3 of 4chan

>>3816583
That's really disappointing to learn. He seemed like such a chill guy. I never figured him for an ISIS sympathizer.

>>3816062
Scoliosis. Said so in a little auto-bio he wrote somewhere, I'll try to find the translation somebody did for it in a bit.

>>3816812
No, wait, nevermind, it wasn't in his little bio thing but I know he's said it somewhere before. If you ever see a full body shot of him, it's even more apparent and I don't even think he can walk properly because of it. I definitely feel for the guy but he seems to get along well enough all things considered.

>>3816583
You're the same bitch that posts that in all the AVGN threads but never shows proof. All I can find is him calling Richard Spencer a pussy, but didn't he go after fat Devin Faraci too? I guess the "Bootsy SJW" meme is something you're trying really hard to push and some fuckheads are actually buying it. Tired of seeing you cry in these threads

>>3816867
Cuck

>>3816595
Where has it been confirmed Ryan and Bootsy were fired?

>>3816914
Ryan's not fired, he was just in a new video. The guitar guy and Bootsy were booted out.

>>3813767

You wouldn't think someone could make Commodore 64, Sinclair Spectrum and other weird eurocuck consoles interesting.

And you'd be right.

>>3816924
So where was it confirmed? And why?

>>3816924
Lots of e-drama happening at cinemassacre. Has James said anything publicly about any of this? Or is this just Mike's mess?

>>3816551
You've obviously never talked to any of his old WoW guildmates. Once a year I check back to see if he's lost any weight like he keeps promising. Zero progress I see.

>>3812246
Although most e-celebs are pure cancer, the whole e-celeb hate in this site is nothing more than jealousy.

Jesus dude, get some air. Some of us like to gossip about literal whos while we take a dump in between Waku Waku 7 fights.

>>3816948
I don't even think James has a twitter, does he? Unless he says something during a J&MM video (the only ones he's even in anymore) then he has no platform to talk to the public on. Even his own damn Cinemassacre website is wholly run by Mike.

And the sweating...

The thing he has going for him is he doesnt get pissed at games. Kinda nice watching the Alwa's Awakening streams. If it were mike he wouldve been yelling and smacking his couch.


>>3816551
Hes not though.

He is super manipulative and a massive liar.
Always "woe is me, im fat", "were doing everything we can to lose weight", "you cant buy your way into me playing games with you". Yet he doesnt lose weight, drinks diet soda all the time, eats on stream, constantly plays with the guys that have donated over 10k to him by now.

For the people wondering about bootsy.

>>3817863
Claiming that Bootsy is a great guy but that they wanted to go in a different direction doesn't explain anything. It sounds like crisis management. Boots was an asset to the site, but still, it seemed like he was purposely kept on the backburner so that he wouldn't get as popular as Mike. Did anyone else feel that too? A clearer picture is starting to emerge and it looks like a clash of egos (or at least one... *ahem*mike)

I liked the Extra Credits game development thing, but some of their episodes are SJW bullshit that don't have anything to do with actual game design, shilling for hidden object games or misinterpreting game plots completely.

Guru Larry is definitely one of the most informative and with plenty of research put into every episode.

CGR is a relaxing thing for me. Definitely better than any other "reviewer" that is on sugar/caffeine bomb.

LGR is also more relaxing than others, quality content.

Pixelmusement definitely knows what he is talking about and covers DOS stuff, which is not really that common.

RetroGameTech and Shane McRetro for repairs and hardware fiddling. They usually don't post very often but the content is high-quality.

>>3815110
I can't stand The 8-Bit Guy... He is a Macfag by heart and it shows especially in his earlier videos, where he talks shit he has no knowledge about. It's also scary to think that he repaired and sold stuff after his "let's open an UPS, drill some holes into it and add some connectors just directly without any protection" video. He made video tutorial showing how to make stuff that is going to kill you or start fire if you aren't careful.

>>3818070
Extra Credits is, and has always been garbage content.

Really, anyone who talks game design, but doesn't actually make games really needs to shut the fuck up about it because they're all wrong.

For Mike and Bootsy, we did it through 2016 and it was a lot of fun! Bootsy is a great guy but we are moving in a different direction. You should be sure to follow his music progress, he will is working on a new album which he is planning to do sometime this year. He does some great music and I’m sure it will be a good album!

I think the whole point is that they're lame/dad jokes

>>3818564
Well, I don't think they're good. Especially Joe pretending to act smug, lol. He looks much better as a retard as on the skits.
I also don't buy Dave's nice guy facade he does on the show, his shit-eating grin fits the asshole bully character on the skits better.

>>3818572
>Well, I don't think they're good
that's not the point

mind you, i'm not saying "haha you just don't get it". the show still have plenty of stupid and unfunny unintentional moments, including the skits you like and i don't. but the jokes during the "main program" are as that other anon said, lame dad jokes, which is why they're usually accompanied by a dead tone delivery and the other one forcing a half assed smile and looking awkwardly to the other side

despite what vr thinks they're not total retards and they would edit that shit out if it wasn't the intention

I despise CGR because of their lack of valid praise and criticism. Every fucking review is more of just looking at a game and praising anything other people have said and nitpicking faults

>>3818559
I like him too, wish he could do more vids for the genesis (I know he does a few as sega drunk) his sports game vids are really cool since he looks at all of them.

So it doesn't sound like he was fired, but he quit to go continue his own career as a musician.

>>3818710
The last song he uploaded to his yt channel was 4 years ago.
My guess is that Bootsy called out Mike for being a shitposter, and Mike fired him.

>>3818716
Where is April's relative when we need him? Come on, man, find out what happened to Bootsy and Kyle so everyone will stop speculating.

>>3818771
Is "April's relative" the same guy that posted stock living room photos and AVGN episode screenshots as "proof"?

>>3818716
Mike wouldn't do that. They've been best friends since 4th grade. Bootsy could destroy Mike's rarest game and he wouldn't fire him.

>>3818782
There was also a picture of the backyard

>>3818784
Imagine a bootsy vs mike fistfight

Bootsy would destroy Mike

>>3818785
I dunno, the last time someone linked the archived thread it was all stock photos and screenshots from AVGN videos.
Obvious bait that wasn't mean to be taken seriouslyt.

>>3818784
He's called Motherfucker Mike for a reason. Longtime fans like me remember that he's done shady shit in the past like publicly post that irate gamer email and try to get the fans to go after that French AVGN ripoff behind James's back. He's stolen cinemassacre from underneath James, so I wouldn't be surprised if he backstabbed Bootsy too. There would've been an official announcement, but it looks like he was blindsided and didn't see it coming. For the record, I like Bootsy and I'm pissed off like many others.

>>3818805
Don't forget it was mike himself who forced his "big dick" meme.

>>3818805
Tearing down competitors is a lot different than attacking your friends though. You can tell from the videos Mike and Bootsy got along really well.

>>3818818
Yeah, but like JonTron/Game Grumps, who knows what goes on behind the scenes. I watched Mike and Bootsy every week (my favorite next to AVGN) and there was an odd tension that built up towards the end, especially whenever Bootsy was doing better than Mike, which was 90% of the time. Mike would get really serious and stop laughing at his jokes. You could tell there was a lot of anger on Mike's part. Go back and watch some of them!

>>3818842
Also, I'm not at all surprised that Mike is doing that whole "playthrough" thing now that Bootsy is gone. He totally noticed how well liked the Bootsy Beats series was and now he's trying to taste the love that Bootsy got from the fans. What a self conscious dickwad

Did you know he's made documentaries and stuff that've been broadcast on TV? He even made a documentary with Gene Wilder, but they aren't the greatest things in the world.

That being said I honestly do like his older stuff. His old CGR stuff is really good and some of the early CGR HD is too.

Modern Mark isn't that fun to watch. He tries too hard and isn't really that funny. He also shills his own comics and stuff too hard.

>>3818842
I don't know what you mean, tension. They seemed to have a good chemistry imo.

>>3818847
This is annoying. Mike used to put all his shitty playthroughs on the Cinemassacre Extras channel but now he's got the balls to just encroach entirely on the main one and put it all there. Mike has absolutely zero camera presence when he's streaming, it's so awkward to watch. The way he interacts with the chat just doesn't flow. I don't know why any one would want to watch his playthroughs when perfectly silent longplays are already widely available.

I sensed that tension too. I think part of the problem was that Bootsy doesn't really seem to be passionate about gaming like Mike is. If you follow him on Twitter, he's pretty funny and he's good at interacting with the fans, but he rarely talks about vidya. It seems like he's more into music. The fact that he's effortlessly better than Mike in skill and at figuring things out probably drives Mike crazy because that's Mike's entire identity. That, or Bootsy was fired BECAUSE he's not as passionate about gaming as James, Mike, and Ryan. The latter makes more sense.

>>3818939
It makes sense he's more into music because that's his real job. The fact he doesn't care as much about games is probably why he stays so calm. To him it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, it's just a game. With Mike the game IS who he is. If he fails at the game he fails at the only thing he's good at and his only job. It's a very personal defeat in his case and causes a lot of rage.

>>3818948
I think that's what I was trying to say, but you said it better. Good on ya. That's also what made Bootsy much more likable than any other LP gamer. He never forgot that he was just playing a game from 30 years ago and that it should be fun above all else. He would laugh when he died, not punch the couch. That's what Mike is too dumb to figure out. I'll admit, it made for good chemistry in their videos, even though it was usually at Mike's expense.

I'm really not into youtubers or anything but I was looking for some shmups to play on my Genesis and came across this dude's videos.

Is it just me or does it seem like he doesn't actually play video games? I was all excited about using his arcade sticks which had auto-fire even though all of the games he was playing in the best Genesis Shmups video had autofire built in.

It seems like he's really stoked to know about video games, but not really that interesting in actually knowing them. Reminds me a lot of Gregg from On Cinema

I've been a lifelong Cinemassacre fan through and through, so I think it's stupid when people rank their favorite contributors. They're all completely different from one another, which is why I'm a fan in the first place. I'm bummed out about Bootsy leaving, though, especially if it's true that Mike fired him. I hate to admit it, but there's nothing about Mike that I like more than Bootsy. It was nice having someone clever, smart, and mature to balance out the ridiculousness of the other two (not an insult to Mike and James, btw).

>>3821427
>and mature to balance out the ridiculousness of the other two

James is mostly cool when he's not in the AVGN character though. Mike is the whiny and childish one.

By the way, what did you guys think of the Shin Godzilla review by them?
I was surprised they never mentioned Hideaki Anno or the fact the movie has an Evangelion music track. I guess they never watched Evangelion.

>>3820273
I thought he was like a bigtime one, marrying a woman who ended up becoming a fat SJW.

>>3821616
It doesn't matter when he has hot fangirls.

As for the sjw thing:
>>3820573
The whole "avgn is a cuck" meme was forced by /v/, /tv/ and possibly Mike, but then he got un-meme-cucked when he did the ghostbusters video.
He didn't even know though, he's just based, he isn't up to date with internet memes. And I imagine I'd be the same if I had fangirls, I would give 0 fucks about what kissless virgins have to say about me online.

Hardmancanada. Believe me, he's different.

>>3821587

only autistic edgy kids watches NGE and thinks that's Philosophical

its worse than Twin Peaks and Millennium Faggots

>>3821626
its a well known fact that Mike access 4ch and 8ch, and that he is one of the autistic trolls from /v/ who keeps shitposting here on /vr/, /vg/ and /tg/.

Its sad that AVGN started only with James and Kyle, and now its only mike's playground of shit...

mike's playthroughs arent streams. He's done one stream in months (ikari warriors). Probably because he got tons of "huge penis" comments.

I dont understand mike's editing of his playthroughs. Why does he cut to a fullscreen view of his face for seemingly no reason?

>>3819069
Pat, Stop trying to make it happen.

>>3821686
>only autistic edgy kids watches NGE and thinks that's Philosophical

wait, who said anything about philosophy? I just thought it was weird they didn't mention Anno or aren't familiar with the show (apparently).
I didn't said it because of "philosophical", I said it because eva borrows a lot from tokusatsu and "japanese monsters" that they love, Anno is also known for being pretty good at practical effects (he did live-action toku back in the 80s).

>>3819219
Voting third party is the only way we can move away from this abomination of a two party system.

A third party cant partake in debates unless they had a large enough portion of the vote in the previous election.

Many voters, who were tired of the two parties, took this past election as a good time to attempt to get their preferred candidate's party that percentage because the media said trump had no chance.

In reality, they shouldve voted for the least offensive choice if they lived in a swing state and only voted third party if not in a swing state.
If you look at california, clinton had almost double the votes as trump. So around 4 million clinton voters couldve voted third party and not have changed the outcome of that state's election.

>>3819256
Yeah.

He is more into music (his claim to fame is working at sierra, where he did sound design on one game) and is only latching onto the gaming community. Its why he has so many guests.

I like Kacho!
While complaining, he gets crazy in video games
so he really loves them, I think.

>>3819264
>>3821761
Not video games related but he's talking less about the viability about voting third party and more about how much of a joke "dude weed" Johnson was

>>3821824

he and Kyle did the same college i think

>>3821942
I visit /m/, it's mostly Tominofags, what are you talking about?
Again, coimpletely irrelevant, I was wondering if James and Mike know Evangelion and if they were aware who Anno (the director of Shin Godzilla) was. I wasn't talking about /m/, /a/, or whatever. There is a world outside of 4chan and internet fanbases, you know.

>>3812332
AVGN is still fun, I just skip the episodes I don't like

Jontron still pro-teir. At the very least never writes shit it, even if it falls flat.

I know, that's why I only talk about it on these here anonymous message boards.

>>3821971
I almost like Caddicarus. I kind of want to like it because I don't know anything about the PS1/2 library.

But the sporadic video filters and voice shifts feels like he's jingling baby keys in front of his audience.

two of the three in OP anon's pic are either 1.) in a video game or, 2.) are the main character of their own video game.

>>3823253
That's not how you discern between e-celebs and regular celebs.
Arino is a regular celeb, the other 2 are e-celebs.

>>3821764
Weird. Wonder why he would spend so much time and money buying all those video games instead of making music or whatever.

Do you know what game he worked on?

How old is Joe from Game Sack? The wikia claims he's 51.

>>3823352
Shivers 2.

Actually... i dont think he actually worked on the game... i think he actually "acted" in it. Its an fmv game.

I found this music video from the game on youtube... you can see his no-chin in the thumbnail.

youtube /watch?v=P1qDRVxDxgw


Metal jesus might have mentioned all this in his video where he talks about his gaming history, i havent watched it.

>>3823352
Also, im getting the one game number from credits listings on mobygames.

If he did anything else for sierra it wasnt credited.

>>3821427
Wait a second, Mike fired Bootsy?! FOR RYAN?!

That's the saddest thing I've read all night.

>>3823467
Bootsy got the boot.

The irony is palpable.

Arino because he's actually good at games. He's the real deal.

James because he's a nice guy and he's occasionally very funny.

I don't care much for CGR. He has a great narration voice but he doesn't actually seem to know much about retro gaming.

>>3823652
I really wish Mark would put up his old turn of the century videos. I can't remember his co-host's name at the time, but their "review em as they come out" videos about n64 games, saturn games, dreamcast, ps2, etc were really well done. I also liked what they were doing with CGRUndertow trying to ACTUALLY review everything. One of the few channels that you can type in a random ps2/gamecube/xbox game and get a review for it, albeit a 5 minute one.

>>3821824
He looks like the dad in the movie The Wizard playing Ninja Turtles, I doubt anyone has that gif

>>3821761
Caw Caw

Fuck outta here

>>3823652
I unsubscribed from CGR since he really isn't a cool dude talking about video games anymore but rather a lot of other things, and him adding the names of all of his patrons to the end of every video of his was getting very annoying.

An eceleb thread and no mention of 8 bit brody? Where's the love?

Guys, I think Mike might be retarded :(

>can't figure out you just jump across
>had to pass the controller to Ryan who had never even played this to do it for him

>constantly complains how emulators are the devil and actual hardware is the only way to play
>plays this on a Retron 5 with a shitty smear filter

So Pat Contri has a brand new re-branded podcast called Not So Common. Safe to assume Ian is never coming back?

>>3824018
>8 bit brody
his awkwardness is enjoyable but his recent videos are not very retro more modern. do more obscure game reviews.

>>3824407
I thought it was played on supergameboy

Newfag itt.
What is the story about Mike's 10 inch penis? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVtDsQ5L_oc
In this video _every_ single comment about it.
Did he flip out on public screaming about his cock or what?

When is Ian coming back?

Also don't forget to donate to his GoFundMe. He's very ill and had no insurance.

>>3826480

>playing Marks Shit mod with james being terribad at it with mike sperging his own memes...

How the mighty have fallen

>>3826480
Mike forced the big dick meme to compensate for his shitty pubescent fuirty voice.
It's an old meme by now (and absolutely not real, by the way, I bet Mike's dick is a peanut)

>>3826503
Mike is desperate to cater to /vr/, now playing Doom source mods to please the doom general fags.

>>3826512
I thought they hate brutal doom.

>>3826512

>please doom genral...

>>>/v/ please, doom general and most of retro HATES Sgtmark's in person and Brutal doom in general

Mark did the impossible in piss off everyone.

>>3826516
>>3826525
well excuse me for not lurking doom generals, I thought these fags liked anything with lots of blood and gore in it.

>>3826528

If i tell you that id Software hates him too?

>>3826534
I have no idea. I do remember people on doom general recommending brutal doom a while back, but maybe I'm remembering wrong.

>>3826554
I could be wrong, but that old version of "so you want to play doom" pic with brutal doom in it was probably made before /vr/ even existed.

>>3826480
That video is hard to watch. James comments how the game has "a retro look" to it. Like, no shit James, it's DOOM. Does he really not understand the concept of WADs at all?

>>3826816
> Does he really not understand the concept of WADs at all?
This. He is console gamer after all.

>>3826816

James is a Faggot console fag, he never touched on any PC game on his life.

>>3823253
So Arnold Schwarzenegger is an e-celeb? he's a star in a lot of games

>>3826830
No, Arnold is not the star, a character he played is the star. That's the difference.

>>3826820
>>3826825
>gen Z shitheads who play source mods on their laptops talking shit about James, who own actual old computers like Commodore 64

cute.

>>3826847
>implying that ownership of commodore 64 automatically turns him into an expert in PC gaming area

>>3826516
>>3826528
>>3826554
>>3826584
/vr/doom/ does not hate BD. They hate Mark and people who don't shut up about BD.

Also newer versions of BD somehow manage to break even more stuff than the older ones.

>>3826856
James was playing Doom on PC before you were a thing in your dad's ballsack.

>>3826480
There was a pic where the fabric of his pants were folded in a way that made it look like a giant dick.

>>3826820
And hes as adept at computers as your grandmother.

Is James right?

>>3827002
I'm really confused about your cherrypicked pictures there. At first glance one would assume that you're trying to defend kb+m, but why would you put pictures of that tranny or the fat guy from valve?

>>3827002
James said the he himself prefers controllers because he works with the computer all day, so he himself relates keyboard with work. He made it clear that he doesn't think controller is superior to keyboard or viceversa.
If you got triggered by that, then you're an autistic child who probably grew up playing flash games on the internet.

>>3827002
Let it go, bro. It doesn't even matter.

>>3827007
I sit on my ass on 4chan for 17 hours a day behind a keyboard and still have no problem using KB+M to play a game. "Works with computers" is not an excuse.

>>3827019
The thing here is that you're triggered by how others decide to play their games.
James made it clear that he wasn't saying that one is "right" and the other is "wrong", and he's aware that kb+m is better for FPS, he was just explaining why he, personally, prefers a pad.

Stop being dense about how other people play their games, neckbeard.

>>3827031
I'm also triggered by how autistically James holds his controllers by sticking his fingers out when he mashes buttons. I think he just doesn't know how to play games period, regardless of the device.

>>3827043
How about you post a (time stamped) picture of hour own hands holding a controller? So maybe we can see how's the "right" way to hold it, neckbeard.

>>3827046
If you're on /vr/ and still don't know how to properly hold a controller no tutorial I can make will help you at this point.

>>3827048
No I just want to laugh at your hands.
l2sarcasm.

Any updates on Ian?

>>3827051
He still doesn't have insurance. Pray for his health and don't forget to donate.

>>3827002
So playing at an arcade cabinet is work too?

James confirmed retarded.

>>3827004
The picture is obviously defending controllers and agreeing with James.
All of the pictures on the left are of people either literally working or playing in an overly competitive/complex setting for some type of monetary gain. The pictures on the right are just of people chilling.

>>3826934

James played DOOM on his SNES. He thought the SNES and genesis versions were the original DOOM experience.

>>3827068
Arcade cabinets have keyboards?

>>3827114
I remember James saying he played Doom on PC.

>>3827117
>Arcade cabinets have keyboards?
Irrelevant. James' argument was that holding your hands in that position is considered work, which is nonsense because you hold your hands the same way at an arcade as you do over a keyboard.

>>3827118
>James' argument was that holding your hands in that position is considered work

No, he was talking about using a keyboard.

>>3827118
It wasn't an "argument" to begin with, he was stating his personal choice.
Also, no, he wasn't talking about position, he was talking about keyboard vs controller, arcade sticks were never into the equation.

>>3826480
The meme was created by Mike himself (along with the James is a cuck meme) in an effort to advance his reputation. He sees everything we write about him here. Whenever someone posts a mirror link to a miney crafta or Elmo video, it's taken down minutes later for a copyright strike because Mike is always looking at what people are saying about him. He also moderates every comment on YouTube and the cinemassacre subreddit. He seems more than a little schizophrenic (seriously).

>>3827195
>the meme was created by Mike himself (along with the James is a cuk meme) in an effort to advance his reputation

Proof?

>>3827195
>fires anyone on the channel who is better than games at him
>keeps James and Ryan around because they either outright suck (James) or hides their power level and lets Mike win (Ryan)

I have no doubt if his girlfriend beat him enough times at games Mike would dump her too. I honestly feel sorry for him that being "the best" at a silly video game is the most important thing to him.

>>3827195
I believe this. People need to appreciate that when your income and reputation are tied to youtube, it's to hell with playing fair and being upfront and honest about everything. Professional youtubers are getting so sophisticated, they have everything down to an art. Interacting with the community, memes, drama.... it's all bullshit purely designed for publicity and to have you coming back to them for more.

>>3825501
If it was on a Super Gameboy, there'd be a border around the game screen.

>>3827343
Well said

>>3827195
Someone warn James before it's too late! Bootsy already took the fall! lol

I'm afraid but I'll ask?

Who the fuck is this Ian you guys always mention?
I highly doubt it's Brutalmoose.

>>3827809
I think it's literally just the same couple people posting about him repeatedly. I had never heard of Pat or Ian before and have never seen anyone else talk about them anywhere else ever.

>>3815840
Pepsi, Kino, and NES.

This guy is forever my nigga.

>>3827195
God I just can't stand it. And the fact that he has to re-state it everytime someone references drives me up the fucking wall.

>>3816542
I doubt they'd fire Kyle

>>3827809
It's Pat's shitty SJW friend who does weed all day, eats burritos, and complains of abdominal pain. He went to multiple "internalists" to diagnose the problem but they can't find anything, so he just sits at home and eats more shitty food and moans. He always hypes himself up as a bigwig of this amazing retro game store but in reality he's just one of many counter workers.

>>3827863
If they can fire Bootsy, they can fire anyone. That dude was chill and it seemed like most fans loved him. Still, no confirmation on Kyle getting fired yet, so probably not true

I watched the Kinamania review of Ghostbusters and I liked the part where he how the building part was worse for americans because the Dendy has turbo buttons and the NES doesn't.

How about Benzai? I don't think he does many English reviews anymore but I used to really enjoy his show.

>>3828504
Yeah I remember him from tgwtg. Does he still make vids?

>>3813147
Ross is incompetent twat, and some times resorts to bullshit to prove his biased point.

For instance in his review of "Well of Souls" he deliberately uses shit weapon against enemies and bosses then whines about how even basic mooks take millenia to kill, and deletes video replies that demonstrate same section beaten effortlessly.

In Revenant review he ignores crucial tutorial - Guard tells him to go to Trainer and learn moves, he ignores him saying he does not need a tutorial in hack'n'slash, proceeds to use basic attacks for the whole game, then whines how he constantly runs out of potions, since he never learned that game has combos, blocks and dodges.

Then he talks for ~20 minutes about bugs that get removed by applying the latest patch (which is an obvious thing to do for a game designed with Win98 in mind, when pl;aying it in Win7).

He then proceeds talking about ridiculous loading times, while showing the options menu, with all Precaching options enabled and cranked to max (it forces game to completely unload all assets, then load new ones on every transition), and all load-while-playing options disabled.

He whines about magic system being ridiculous and saying that he'll never use it, then3 minutes later whines about the fist-fighting boss battle. Cherry on top: While he talks aout magic he skims over 2 spells (Might and Fist Mastery) that were explicitly given to him by an NPC in order to beat the boss.

After all this I doubt I can believe anything he says ever again.

>>3828043
You can't fire someone who doesn't work for you. When was Kyle last seen, like 3 years ago? I always forget that guy exists.

>>3829109
It seems like Kyle was the production designer on all of James's projects (AVGN, Board James), at least according to the credits. He acted in that b-movie trailer that James just released, too. I think he might have managed merchandise, but not sure. He's definitely not in front of the camera a lot, but if he was fired, that means he'll never be in front of the camera again (guitar guy behind the couch). No one has proof, though, so I call bullshit

So Mike just completely took over Bootsy Beats huh? What an ass.

Are they good?

>>3829739
no. it's like an episode of regular show written by hillary clinton.

>>3829739
From the little I watched it's like watching 3 uninteresting and not witty guys play games they don't know for the first time, most of the time not being able to grasp basic concepts or mechanics in the game and calling it shit, especially old games, prepare for "this game aged bad" meme being repeated ad nauseam.
Basically it's like mixing Mike and James mondays when they play games they don't know + big bang theory + shit = continue?

>>3829743
this also sums it up pretty well

>>3829109
Mike, please.

Am I the only one who thinks the new "mike beats" videos are actually recorded and then acted over by Mike?
Like he pretends to be playing on the videos but he isn't, he's just talking and pretending to be playing over a recording. I'm sure it's still his, but I can tell the guy isn't actually playing on the videos he uploads.

I know there's livestreams but those were like x2 or x3 longer than his new ones. He dies a lot and edits it so that it seems he isn't losing.

>>3829768
That's exactly what he's doing

>>3829879
ryan?
