He was fair with the game, the graphics look nice and the humor is there (burps and farts, dude! XD I'm surprised he didn't capitalize on that, to be honest).
But the game itself has a lot of fatal flaws that prevent it from being actually good.

Talking about the Genesis game which I owned back in the day, never played SNES.

According to most people, the best B&B game was Virtual Stupidity.

You know about 2 months ago I found myself on the east side of town (back where I went to high school). I decided to stop in to the best buy just to take a look around. To my surprise I saw an old acquaintance I hadn't seen since high school. He had worked there back in high school.
He was still working there now.
That was literally like 13 years ago. It was honestly kinda sad. Here was this grown dude dressed in a blue shirt selling people phones. I felt bad for him.

That's how I feel when I see James doing the same shtick now. It's not funny. It's sad. Fart jokes aren't funny anymore. Especially when you're 40 years old with a kid and a wife and a mortgage.

I never played these as a kid, but knew they would be shit and I only had one friend with the Genesis copy. He didn't want to play it because of how horrible it was. It was always a bad gamble to play anything licensed in the 16-bit era. For every good licensed game like Batman Returns (SNES), you had 15 shit games like this.

AVGN is still fun to watch. Sometimes he hits, sometimes he misses, but it's nostalgic to watch him and remember 10 years ago how far ahead he was of everyone else.

When I was a kid (7 years old let's say) there were a handful of regulars as cashiers at the grocery store we'd go to. The year I left for college they were still there. I thought, damn, how sad to spend literally your entire working life as a supermarket cashier. I asked my dad why they don't find a better job but he said they've probably been there so long they have a shitload of benefits. I still think it's sad they probably started as baggers and got a promotion and just stuck with it for decades. One of the guys was definitely in his late 50s and had probably been there since the store opened.

You don't get automatic raises. If he's a lazy ass then he's probably barely making more money. I've know people like that in retail who only ever got raises because of minimum wage bump either by law or company policy. If you're a cashier for 20 years you won't make more money than your supervisor who's only been there one year. Salaries cap out depending on employer and job title.

I do wonder what is the appeal for the Japanese. His tirades seem like they'd be nearly impossible to translate to any other language, or at the very least they'd lose some of their appeal or meaning.

You guys are retarded with regard to work. Some people just like having a moderately easy job with little to no responsibility, that pay them what they personally need to get by.
I mean, some people find that plus maybe they like the people they work with and for as well.
I mean, there is a kernel of truth to "money can't buy happiness" in that as long as you have family and community to fall back on, you can just go check people's groceries and daydream all day and play retro videogames or flyfish or whatever in your massive amount of reasonably funded free time.

Well, doesn't he sometimes talk about how he played old games in college along with Mike?

I do agree that he probably isn't a hardcore gamer. I doubt he's one who would go watch videos to figure out new strategies or chat on a forum about games. More like someone who on Saturdays might pop in SMB and play for 30 minutes if time permitted. Mike, on the other hand, does seem more like a gamer, but assuming he helps run the site/channel I'd not be surprised if he doesn't play a whole lot.

As for poor gameplaying in things like James and Mike or streams, I will attribute some of that to sometimes being games that they might not have played in several years, if ever. Also, some people tend to do worse at certain things when presenting, not to mention they're trying to be socialize and be somewhat entertaining while playing. If they just sat their quietly and not run somewhat canned lines of dialogue along the lines of "So James, what do you think is the best part of a sidescrolling game? Are there any other cartoons that would've made for a good NES game?"

The new J&MM sheds a lot of light on the newest AVGN episode. He wasn't acting at all, every complaint he made as the nerd is a legitimate problem James encountered playing it with Mike.

>kept saying the guide said to drop it so he used Drop even though it's not working
>keeps eating the burger and getting poisoned because the guide said so
>even questions it later and says fuck it, keep eating it anyway even after he figures out why he's dying

Even following the guide page by page he couldn't figure this game out. After he "saved" his game with 2% of his health left why did he keep re-trying to get to the hospital two dozen times instead of just starting completely over and NOT eating the damn burger?? Even the guide said it's ONLY needed to be eaten when you are already low on health so you can get into the hospital to get a refill, but he insisted on eating it first thing anyway and discard the idea of just ignoring it.

Let's be honest, from a logical point of view, you are the retard, in first place, for caring at all, and on second place for feeling annoyed that AVGN shitted on a shitty game.
I had the Sega B&B game as a kid but it was shit, I never bothered to finish it because it wasn't worth it. Once you played all the areas, and burped/farted enough times, you didn't need to play it anymore. Not worth going to the hassle of collecting the tickets. It kind of reminds me of Bart's Nightmare, you can play pretty much every level in different order from a hub world. But the game was kind of shit and you didn't feel like actually sitting and going through the bullshit to complete it. It was a nice rental game if you were a fan of the license but that was it.
And mind you, I even owned the B&B game, didn't just rent it. It was typical licensed shovelware.

I think he knew the movie was shitty.

I think that's when he lost his passion. He put so much time and effort into that movie and it turned out garbage.

James freely admits that AVGN was supposed to be a 3-part series. 3 episodes, and now he's nearing 150 episodes. Literally almost 50 times what he intended.

So he's probably never going to make another big budget movie. He's stuck with this shitty character that he no doubt resents. He's stuck shilling for shit.

I honestly wonder where all these youtubers are going to be in 10, 20 years. Some guys have lasted for awhile, but is anyone going to watch AVGN in 10 years when James really starts showing his age?

Did you see that guide? It was written like trash. "Eat the dumpster burger. It'll be important later.

We won't tell you what it does NOW, or why it'll be important later though. :^)"

I think this guide might be even worse than the FF9 one.

One time I was staying at my university over winter break and this massive blizzard snowed the place in. I had stockpiled microwavable food and made myself a bowl of Kraft Dinner with some bacon bits and peas. Sat there with my big bowl of goodness surrounded by walls of snow and watched Ashens videos. Peak comfy.

I remember going to see the Mario movie in theatres. I wasn't disappointed. Like James I didn't really have any expectations and was just thrilled to see Mario on a giant screen, even if he wasn't the 1:1 Mario from the games. Hoskins is still the 2nd best Mario interpretation after Capt. Lou.

I remember watching James' older videos when I was young. It inspires me to make things with limited resources. The only problem is I haven't made a lny kind of movie since I was eleven. I wish he made more original b-movies nowadays, although he's too busy making James & Mike.

You can get stuck in the PC version.

1. Call the meteor police so many times until they don't show up anymore.

2. Mail anything that isn't the demo or the fixed manuscript, rip the envelope, and forget your stamps.

3. If you don't pick the package before Ed does, if Michael is on your team, the film won't show up. You can also ruin the film by exposing it without developing it.

4. Wasting your dimes trying to guess the directions in the telescope to look at Edna's safe. The directions are random in every play.
