I watched a bunch of videos of the IrateGamer vs. AVGN kinda stuff last night.

I still think James was right. IrateGamer was just playing the victim when he absolutely without a fucking doubt strictly copied James' schtick and even jokes and segments verbatim.

Sure, releasing a private email publicly is scummy, but so is a guy who essentially became a youtube partner through copying someone elses work.

I think James obviously made some poor decisions like anyone. Obviously the Movie was colossal blunder and he shouldn't have made it AVGN since the movie has virtually nothing to do with AVGN anyways, he also shouldn't have starred in it himself, and just directed.

Everyone knows he "shouldn't" have made the movie but he obviously wants to be a movie guy so bad that he had to. I'm not sure people should've supported it through donations but he did what he had to do.

I kinda wish he would give up on it. He's not very good even if his whole thing is liking deliberately shitty movies.

Both these things are very true. Such a shame. It would have been fine if the movie wasn't so over-the-top. I get what he was going for, but his early AVGN episodes that everyone fell in love with is just not the same as the movie at all. If he had just stuck to his roots, it would have worked out. I think he's just setting his standards higher than his capability and it's becoming a chore, which is why his channel is such a bore now.

I actually like Board James, and I like how it kind of has this continuity and storyline going on which is something that AVGN hasn't ever really done.

I think James can absolutely make something fun and interesting. He needs to hang up AVGN, make something new, maybe without a schtick at all.

If he actually made a mini-series about some fucking loser who loves movies and wants to make one himself but he's getting old and no one wants to get on board with his movie since he's out of touch with modern stuff and doesn't have the experience to make it. Then he makes some web show or whatever and its successful and he has a shot at the big time.

That could be interesting. I think James' could very well do -something- moderate to big budget as like a series or mini series. Something along the lines of Flight of the Conchords, or Garfunkel and Oates (obviously sans songs) or like the brief sting Pure Pwnage got on TV.

I think whats holding him back is himself. He no doubt wants full creative control, and feels he's entitled to it. The plot for AVGN was a mess and poorly written, the movie was poorly paced, and missed the mark (we wanted games, we got everything but games). He could absolutely make another attempt, make something bigger, more impressive, but he's sticking to the AVGN schtick because its his cash cow.

copypasting this post from the Game Sack thread because I think this anon made quite a few good points:

I think this poster made a clear and concise point about the difference between GCCX and Youtubers:

>>2804845

it's true that Arino is a TV show, and thus SHOULD be on /tv/. However, would you imagine /tv/ discussing Arino? They mostly discuss Hollywood stars.

But the matter here isn't where Arino discussion should go, the thing is that Arino fans don't shitpost. Another reason may be because GameCenterCX is a pure entertainment show, Arino never makes any sort of opinionated reviews that could generate anyone's butthurt, he doesn't call any game shit, or doesn't call any game "the best game ever", either, he just plays games, and occasionally interviews some industry personalities.
Most Youtubers DO give strong opinions, and if they're popular like AVGN or JoNTron or whatever, people WILL come to shitpost about them, whether they're against or in favor of said opinions.

You don't see new threads everyday saying "Arino calling this game shit", and you won't, because he doesn't do that kind of stuff.
Youtubers on the other hand do, so it's inevitable that they indirectly are the cause of shitposting around here. That, and all the gossip stuff that surround them.

I hope I'm clear, and just to make my point clearer, I don't even participate on the GCCX threads, I haven't watched a new episode in years. I just don't see Arino shitposting, whereas I see constant youtuber/e-celeb shitposting, and it's not just concentrated in one thread. Most of the times they're also started as sthealth threads, like "hey guys what do you think of this game/controller/console", with a picture of an e-celeb to guarantee replies and shitposting. GCCX threads very clearly state "GCCX thread: here's the download links", there's not much to shitpost about and they're not trying to start shit.

Hopefully a youtube board will be created sometime to help with this issue.

>AVGN
I like him. He's not very good at games, but he can at least beat Contra and Super C without cheating. His collection is also pretty impressive if you care about that sort of thing.

As far as his videos go, they're dumb fun. I don't take them too seriously. Some of my favorite videos of his are him slamming on games that I like.

The best video, though, was of him, Mike, and Brendan (Bootsy). Mike and James are like "Back to the Future on the Sega is IMPOSSIBLE it cannot be beaten it cannot be done" and Brendan beats the whole thing in one go even though it's the first time he's ever played it before.

He doesn't pretend to like any game, most of the time he's like "awwww man... do I really have to play this? (laughs)", but he doesn't give a bold, aggressive opinion, which I think is cool.

Do you know why we're getting this AVGN threads all the time? Because some people ae genuinely angry at James and Mike liking Nintendo over Sega and making it very evident every chance they get. Thanks to them being like that, we have to deal with shitposters here. Not cool man.

I know the point of the show. Often at the end the AD will ask him what he thought of an awful game and he'll put some PR spin on it like "It's interesting how they were trying something different" which is just codewords for it sucked. He doesn't need to beat around the bush like that however.

Whatever your personal thoughts on Arino are, the thing here is that Arino doesn't generate shitposting. Look at Arino threads, it's just people talking about raws, subs and torrents, all very civil. At most you'd find some people "arguing" about best AD but not real shitposting.

Youtuber threads on the other hand have lots of shitposting ranging from console wars to gossip to /b/-tier memes.

It's not a matter of whether Arino or AVGN are good or bad shows, that's up to personal preference. The fact is that one of these don't generate shitposting, and the other does.

This is so very true. Board James, the last watchable segment he had, was absolutely ruined when he decided to meld it with his over-the-top, cheesy film-work. I know films are his passion, but, unfortunately, he isn't very good at film-making.

I really don't think so, honestly. Go watch this years monster madness host segments. A lot of it less him talking about movies, their elements and or what makes them work and more about him saying "WHEN I WAS A KID..."

there's one where he basically acts shocked and whines that an adult party got quiet because he made everyone sit down and watch "The Great Pumpkin "

Now I love peanuts, I do. But it's not something Id watch at a party regardless of how many tomes Ive seen it.

Alright, but you know what I mean. Arino (or GCCX's staff)'s opinions don't really make anyone butthurt. E-celebs and their opinions do. Maybe it's the way they say it, or the emphasis they make, whatever the case is, you won't see people "oh you only like [x] game because Arino praised it and you hate [x] game because Arino is a [company]fag!!!" or similar, like how people do with AVGN, Egoraptor, etc.

I wish I had the power to look at everything through a tinted lens like you.

James has always mentioned things from when he was a kid and reviews items specifically through the eyes of someone in the 80's or 90's or whatever time period the game is from, but he always also mentions what is objectively right or wrong with them regardless.

Also, he was fully aware that people didn't like the Great Pumpkin after the fact. He didn't act "shocked" or whined about it.

I don't have a source other than a feeling got from years of watching interviews and reading one off comments, but I think the movie being over the top was inevitable. Ever since James was a kid be dreamed about making a movie, and always had a mental list of things he wanted to do with it if given the opportunity. I don't think James ever intended for the AVGN film to be good, but rather saw it as what might be his only chance to finally do all those cool scenes/effects he had been dreaming about. It would have been exactly the same if it was about any one of his other series.

I kinda get that idea about it too. Especially that time he talked about doing special effects in his basement at like 2am and the fire department got called. He was obviously really into the making of it but the reality is it all goes to waste if the meat of the film is already rotten. James should get a job working on real movies because just fiddling around in his basement is a waste of his talents.

If he dropped AVGN after the first year he could have spent that time working on a real set and by now probably gotten his foot in some doors

Yeah it was me because I had the audacity to say Arino hams it up for the camera and plays badly on purpose just so he can pull out a dramatic win at the last second and look like a hero. Sometimes he's not even subtle about it, like how atrociously he played in the SML episode. For some of the hard ass games he's slogged through and eventually won there's no excuse for him playing like a 3 year old in a Mario game.

You know the mod is there and trolling for people to ban when he says "x = pathetic faggot" over and over. Respond and it's a permanent ban from all boards but the slur stays up.

30 minutes doesn't say anything because we don't know how much they'll cut out.

Youtubers are terrible at DKC for some reason though. At least the popular ones. I won't be terribly surprised if they somehow fail to finish or get stuck on the mine carts for a while or something. Actually, not being able to finish the game would be pretty bad. It's below average in difficulty.

Episodes 90 & 91: Action 52 and Cheetahmen

This is a two-parter. Back in the early 2000's, I think just about everyone stumbled upon Action 52 while playing around with ROMs. These episodes remind me of the time my little brother and I played through all 52 games and just joking around on them. I'm really glad he gave Cheetahmen their own episode because they definitely deserved it. My younger brother used to love drawing pictures of the Cheetahmen all over his notebook. I don't know what it was, but we were both suckers for TMNT rip-offs (like Biker Mice from Mars). The Action 52 episode is straight-up riffing on game after game. Lot of fun. The Cheetahmen episode is a bit less organized (like where he rushes through Action 52 on the Sega Genesis) but is still super funny.

Episode 31: Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout

I actually rented this game once as a kid. I say "once" because I wound up beating it the first day we rented it. His point that the game just won't let you die despite constantly hitting you with enemies is spot on. Still, a fun little game.

This episode features an appearance by Bugs Bunny, who gets abused by the Nerd. I think he really manages to balance out the Bugs Bunny bits with the video game bits really well. Bugs Bunny would returns in episode 75 (for Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle), but this episode is honestly the better of the two. I felt, in the Crazy Castle episode, the games took a real backseat to the Bugs Bunny bits, which just weren't as fun the second time around. With Birthday Blowout episode, it's clearly just him and his buddy messing around and having a good time. With the Crazy Castle episode, he goes for "epic" and it just doesn't work. Another clear strength that this episode has over the other episode is that this episode focuses on one game, whereas the Crazy Castle episode tries to look at the entire series (and doesn't look at all the games, and as a result isn't as informative as it could have been, as many more characters, like Roger Rabbit, were a part of the Crazy Castle series).

Overall, this episode is classic.

I think I like this episode because you can really tell Kyle has a lot of fun playing Spider-Man. Also, the Spider-Man song at the end is just hilarious.

This is another video where they focus on a collection of games. I feel like they give each Spider-Man game their due and do them justice except for Spider-Man 2 on the Gameboy Advance, which seems a bit rushed and tacked on. The riffing is top-notch here.

This is one of his "12 Days of Shitmas" episodes, so it's shorter than normal but I feel that makes the riffing more concise and accurate. This wasn't a game I was familiar with, so after watching this episode, I gave it a try, and he's dead-on in his depiction of the game.

What makes this episode stand out, for me, is the ending. I dare you not to laugh. I just dare you.

Why does Mike speaks with that funny accent at the end of each word/sentence?

Like his voice goes a bit higher in tone everytime he finishes a sentence, sorry if I'm not clear enough, I'm also not a native english speaker so maybe it's a cultural/regional thing I'm not aware of.

It seems as if every sentence he speaks, is like a question.

For example

"So I was playing this game, and it was cool".

The way he speaks, it seems like he's saying

"So I was playing this game? And it was cool?"

Is there a reason for that? James doesn't speaks that way.

If my memory is correct, he does it whenever he's going to continue speaking. So if he's "speaking" a paragraph, he'll do that until the very last sentence and then go low again to indicate he's finished. It's also partially that he's in a conversation with a friend so he's kinda trying to invoke a response with non-questions so they can talk back and forth.

It's mainly an accent thing and it varies from person to person even within regions. I'm a native speaker and I don't do it.

He posted constant videos about how awful anime (especially yaoi) was, and over the next few months his videos contained more and more homoerotic anime scenes.

I'm not sure if he's a performance artist or just truly insane. There was one video where he showed this huge notebook, and each page was dedicated to a different video he made. He had each scene described in vivid detail in the notebook. I'm leaning towards insane.

Well, now that I think about it, his first AVGN videos were more planned, as in he at least retook the intros until he was happy, so I guess he could've had a script for them too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PyVFYLZTms

For example he uploaded a video where he practices the intro for this one, but needless to say it's pretty hard to find it now. But it still feels a little bit farfetched to think that he has notes for even a quarter of his videos.

>Hong Kong 97 (香港97 Honkon97?) is a 1995 multidirectional shooter video game made in Japan for the Super Famicom in disk drive format by HappySoft Ltd., a homebrew game company. The game was designed by the Japanese game journalist Kowloon Kurosawa, who said the game was made in about a week.[1] The game has gained a cult following in Japan and Taiwan for its notoriously poor quality — it has been ranked as a kusoge, which literally means "shitty game", a game considered "so bad that it's good". It has since been given multiple parody treatments.

A lot of people actually just don't like it, it's not some sort of AVGN thing. I don't after having come from Castlevania 1. It went from being a linear, streamlined game where it challenged you with its difficulty to a very spread out and unusual puzzle where most of the challenge was in figuring out what to do and wandering around rather than actually beating any specific challenges. It would be like if Battle Toads became an open world game for no reason or something.

I know some people like it but it's clearly a different type of game that wouldn't appeal to a lot of people.

the fact that he became a youtube partner might be the fact that his material want so abbrasive to the public. By season 2 the nerd was literally shitting on to people's faces the irate gamer was a little bit more tame... and money talks,youtube partnered with him and viewers kept on viewing so for youtube it was a success story. all the while AVGN was getting salty.

James has destroyed any kind of career he may have once had the chance to have. He can't do anything without it being AVGN related or else no one would watch it. Nobody watched Board James, and now he is forcing AVGN into it.

The movie was a flop in film making, no one is going to want to donate anything to him again. His only chance is to change his name and make/pitch movies under that name. He may have a chance at Troma, but if I remember right, Lloyd Kaufman shit all over the AVGN movie as well.

Other than that, he will not be going anywhere film wise, so he should quit AVGN, and get a joe job for a while to clear his head. Maybe then he would get a sense of what he really wants and go for it.

French AVGN ripoff has more subscribers than James. Why? Something to do with YouTube's recommended video logarithm and this guy's closer proximity to PewDiePie? Lack of French language VG channels concentrating viewership?

I think the movie should have been like clerks. We see what day to day life is like for the nerd and nothing particularly crazy happens, just strange, humorous events that are average in his world (NJ would probably be the best setting because his videos began there and it's just a good place for this kind of thing)

It would be similar in feel to his early episodes

How hard would it be for me to crowdfund this and pitch it to James do you think?

He easily could've done a more modest/normal theme like that but he just had to leverage the AVGN thing to make the sort of movie he always wanted to instead, while sprinkling in just enough of his character that people don't get upset. He might not have even consciously realized he was doing it. He might've just had a bunch of crazy ideas he thought he'd throw in and then they became the movie.

I'm also a connoisseur of bad movies. was it really that terrible?

I mean, avgn obviously had dreams to be a director, and instead of studying the classics and getting experience, he went all in on his first attempt, which naturally led to a flop.

but I'd like to think there were at least some redeeming qualities, that it wasn't the most embarrassing of all that's out there.

Well "bad" is subjective of course, but for me his movie came across as a directionless mess. Bad acting, pacing, writing and James is portrayed as an egomaniac that everyone fawns over.

Play it again 10 years later... Huh, these graphics aren't that impressive these days. In fact, the rest of the game is kinda boring. Guess I was blinded by the flashy newness of the technology.

And no, not everybody experiences this, and no, it doesn't apply to all games. I'd equate it to meeting someone who you find attractive and immediately becoming enamored, only to realize that, as time goes on, the person is a dick. They were always a dick, but you were so blinded by a certain trait at the time of the meeting that you didn't realize it until some time had passed.

A lot of things lead to a game aging poorly. Weak 3D graphics and "realistic" graphics, as you mentioned, are one of the reasons. Controls that seemed okay at the time but were pretty stiff and unintuitive in retrospect are another common symptom. Sometimes an entire genre doesn't age very well and it's not even the game's "fault" so much as the fact that there were technical limitations that did not allow the developers to do what they actually wanted to at the time. And if there's nothing better, sometimes it's easy to fall in love with a concept that isn't ready yet.

I think rather than going on about what doesn't age well, because that would take forever, I'll instead attack it from the other angle and say what does age well: things that fit within the constraints of the technology without feeling compromised while still being in a style that either could not go wrong or was designed in such a way that it was far ahead of its time. What I mean by that is that a simplistic pixel art game has far fewer ways to fuck up than a very complex big budget 3D game that was trying to push modern limits rather than focusing on making something mechanically excellent. Of course, some games have their cake and eat it too, but this isn't typical.

Stuff changes.
You know, something that was commonplace like collecting health ups can feel archaic when people have gotten used to most games having some kind of regenerating health.

Likewise, stuff that looked amazing when it came out can look like shit now. A lot of early PS3 games look like absolute dogshit by today's standards, but it doesn't really have that nostalgic value of early 3D of the N64/PS1 and maybe PS2 style.

So yeah games do age. They absolutely do age as technology improves and design philosophy changes and becomes more streamlined.

That's a silly thing to say. I've seen many people say they are hesitant to play a game they loved as a kid because they are afraid they won't like it anymore as an adult. I loved FF7 when it came out but after having played it again I can say it really didn't live up to my expectations either. For 1997 the graphics and scope of it was mind-blowing and was on a never before seen scale. Everyone was playing FF7, even the jocks at school bought PSXs for it. But now it's hard to look at it and see what ever made it so special. You just had to be there. There are games like Doom that aged perfectly, and are still amazing to play to this day and are easy to see why they inspired a genre. But then there are others that were great for their day, but just don't hold up well anymore. The camera in Mario 64 is a pretty often cited example. It was revolutionary then, but pretty shitty now. That aspect of it aged poorly.

Early forays into console FPS weren't always so great, I mean, ultimately the gameplay can still be good, but looking back, the gamepad you had wasn't quite enough for a really good control scheme.

Doom on the 32X is PRETTY stiff on a 3 button controller, and changing weapons is awkward, it's better on a 6 button controller, quite so, but still kind of awkward.

Goldeneye 64 was amazing for it's time, it had some realism going for it, and it was really beautiful. The controls aren't perfect, but Rare did a pretty good effort of figuring things out considering the N64 gamepad.

This doesn't for a second mean these games weren't fun, or that they have no value, but you can look back at something in a retrospect and think, "this could have been done a bit different with very little effort and had much better results" or "these levels weren't quite as fun as I remember them"

Sidescrolling platformers on the other hand, like the Super Mario games, weren't so experimental, they were made for gamepads and control excellently, the gameplay is simple and it's very easy to just pick it up and play, the graphics are stylized and cartoony rather than aiming for realism, so that ages MUCH better.

Again, I think a game showing age isn't necessarily a bad thing, hell, a game having aged poorly in some aspects doesn't even mean that the game still isn't good, I still love Goldeneye 64.

But looking back it's pretty unanimously agreed upon it's a shit port and basically unplayable today. But as a kid in '94 with no PC it's easy to have loved it.

I wouldn't call it unplayable, but it's not excellent. It was the limitations of the console though.

The 32X port, while missing LOTS of levels and the bosses, and having shit music, did ultimately play better than the SNES one (which had much better music)

>But as a kid in '94 with no PC it's easy to have loved it.
Yeah. I had GBA Doom as a teen, first I thought it was awesome, to have Doom in my pocket, then as I gradually got through it, I noticed a lot of stuff missing, no third episode, no bosses, poor performance, kind of based on the 32X assets actually.
I eventually learned to appreciate it for what it was, an -ok- port, all things considered, if flawed. Had pretty good music.

The second GBA port is much better, it has all the levels, all the monsters, etc.
The big maps were shrunk down in size a bit, but kept all their content, the two REALLY big maps, Industrial Zone and Chasm, instead of being replaced, removed, or heavyily neutered, were instead split up, so halfway through the Industrial Zone A you'd hit an exit switch and reach Industrial Zone B, containing the rest of the original Industrial Zone (bringing up the total to 34 maps). Really, much more effort into making that port than the first one.
The AI is very short-sighted though, if you're far enough away, an enemy

Oh, I thought of a very concrete example of a game that hasn't aged well, Half-Life 2.
When it was new, I was awed and amazed by it, cool graphics (for the time), physics engine, etc.

But looking back at it, it feels even more linear than Half-Life 1, the gunplay, while more realistic and with prettier graphics, don't have quite as much going for it, you can't carry as much ammo, and there's less weapons in total, and they're less varied.
There's no Snarks, there's no satchel charges, there's no Hive hand.

It was impressive how they made kind of a flowing narrative thing, but from a modern standpoint, it's pretty pedestrian.

Half-Life 1 didn't have a gravity gun, but the fighting and the levels was much more interesting, ultimately. It doesn't mean I don't like Half-Life 2, but I'm no longer really blown away by the game like I was when I was younger. I'd say that's a game that hasn't aged well in every aspect.

But it never changed. You don't get it. At the time people knew it had problems even if everyone still respected Nintendo highly for it since it was the first ever 3D camera of it's kind.

They just couldn't use the "it didn't age well" argument because it just came out. Now, conveniently, you can use that meaningless argument.

>But now it's hard to look at it and see what ever made it so special.

Many people played it later on and loved it dearly, including myself. As well, the scope of it isn't any greater than the Final Fantasy games that came before it.

But that has nothing to do with the game itself. There are many people who probably realized these things shortly after it came out, too. The game didn't "age". Your opinion of it just changed. It has nothing to do with how old it is, you just had time to reflect on it.

There are many people who could play it today and love in, but in one year look back on it and have the same feeling about it you eventually did. Do you understand?

This is just too much. You can tell how forced it is because even he must know it's not really a bad cover. It's pretty fucking badass to be honest. Out of all the shitty covers out there I have to wonder what the rest of this new "series" holds if it's veering off the rails this early.

I'm glad he's trying to do something a little different. Plus the cover art for shatterhand is over the top as fuck, especially considering the famicom game was a tokusatsu metal hero cyborg that was changed to a generic radical 80s buff dude with sunglasses. Yes there are far worse covers out there, and the cover for shatterhand is actually boss as fuck, but I like that it's something different for AVGN.

>on games "aging"
"THE GAME LOOKED SO REAL THEN BUT NOW IT DOESN'T" is fucking bullshit, 3D video games NEVER LOOKED REAL.

EVER.

Why do people still spout this retarded fucking meme opinion? No "realistic" 3D game in the 90s looked as good as Jurassic Park and no cartoony game looked as good as Toy Story. Rendering everything in real-time along with the interaction aspect ALWAYS meant you had to compromise and make stuff look worse than it would in a film.

James can make fun/interesting stuff, but >>2810497 is spot on. He obviously plays up his "gamer identity" for money; I definitely buy that he has fun with some games and likes playing them every once in a while, but he's clearly not huge on them at all. The hivemind hate for Mike is funny since that guy actually seems more legitimately into games than James.

What bothers me, though, is that he doesn't point out enough that his AVGN persona is a stupid character and that these are not meant to be "earnest reviews, but with jokes". He last point that out... what, 7 years ago? His "informative" segments and attempts to make up for things he said in the past instead of just saying "AVGN isn't me, don't take this shit seriously" further confuses people so I can't entirely blame his audience.

His Sega CD video was particularly bad and stupid. Yeah it wasn't the best system to own back then, but now there's still fun you can have with it if you buy it for cheap or emulate it. He was clearly just looking for reasons to call it a piece of shit and now a brand new generation thinks there are no good Sega CD games aside from the one or two games he listed in his video for it.

AVGN persona is what the dumbass fanbase of underages love. Children in general love exaggeration, because they do not understand subtlety. Why do you think screaming retards like Pewpiedie get billions of views?

I actually like the segments where James and Mikey just play through the game and spontaneously discuss each section. Mostly because they actually play good games and not horseshit.

Exaggeration isn't bad at all, hammy acting can be very funny. James is just not a good actor and can't even sound angry.

To add to my reply I think part of the reason people love watching DSP's awful videos so much is because he acts like an over the top cartoon character and yet he's actually dead serious. He sucks at games and gets mad at the slightest shit; if he was a character he'd be a fucking fantastic one. It's much funnier to see DSP getting genuinely mad at games than calm-as-fuck chill dude James trying hard to sound angry despite having zero acting skill.

I`m not saying that any of that is bad, I`m saying it brings in lowest common denominators like you. I find most of his sketches lacking in taste to be honest, but I certainly do identify with going though a quagmire of shitty games before finding that one awesome one during the NES era.

Sure, 10 years ago. Watching him "rage" at bad game covers is embarrassing. The other anon's right, James can't act for shit. Him trying to be scary or ominous in the new Board James is just terrible. That combined with the cheesy effects makes it look like it was made by a group of high school kids, not someone who went to film college. And then you read the comments and it's just people gushing over how awesome it was. I think that's James' problem now, is that no one steps up to tell him what he does poorly, so he doesn't improve.

I wouldn't say you have discerning taste at all if you think "two friends play a game and talk like normal" is good entertainment. Do you also think Game Grumps is high-class gentlesir entertainment?

I used to love James but if I saw him today I'd honestly try to kill him just to put him out of his misery. He's like an old sick dog that you can't stand to see hurt any longer.

He hates being the nerd but that's all he's got and he has to keep playing the character to maintain a living. His movie, the one chance of him following his dream of being a real film maker, was a completely embarrassing disaster. He has a broken baby, his bitch wife walks all over him and the fact she's kekolding him is all but confirmed. He's balding.

I think he'd kill himself if not for the baby, but with his wife's reputation I doubt it's even his in the first place. I'd just tell him I'm sorry and put a bullet in the back of his head
