They've been really spoiling us by including Ryan in so many of the Monday vids. He's really the heart and soul of Cinemassacre these days and elevates whatever he's in. Even other streamers are starting to recognize it. I was watching Vinesauce last night and who was streaming along with Vinny all night? Our boi, based Ryan! The dude absolutely saved the stream with his on point video game knowledge and skills. Plus, I'm still trying to find my sides after hearing Ry-Guy's jokes. Every stream needs to have Ryan in it and when he's not there, everyone needs to be asking "Where's Ryan?"

Mods are crap, on every forum that has mods, ever. That is all you need to have in mind as an explanation.

I never saw that one. I watched it just now after reading your post. Yeah it's a little sad to see the two main dudes on the channel having to just fade back and try to think of things to say for an hour while somebody with actual skill finishes the "super hard" game in one session, and on top of that, explains how he's succeeding while he's doing it. (Not that that takes much; it's just a matter of picking up the powerup items and keeping them, and also of not being a retard who runs into bullets because he wasn't paying enough attention to dodge.)

James bantering with the girl, cursing and even throwing his pen (wing wink) at her.

James is truly the Alpha of the bunch. Mike was always the beta who never really gets to eat pussy other than his gf's.
I bet he even got to know his gf thanks to AVGN; wouldn't be surprised if James banged wendy before she started dating Mike.

I love seeing AVGN stuff from when James was in his 20s, he acted like a rockstar. He's the only "youtuber" that actually got rockstar and fame right, and knew when to step down and settle down in his 30s.
Unlike many other nu-male youtubers, Mike included.

I know this is a fucking joke but in a way he was the rockstar of the early gaming e-celeb days.

Strange how over-the-hill he is at his mid-thirties. I guess this sort of thing has a short lifespan.

Honestly James seemed a lot more cool here with his Jersey swag and his hipster guitar guy. Now he's in his thirties with a fat wife, two daughters, and fucking Mike.

And what happened to the guitar guy? Is he even around anymore lol
