I'd prefer AVGN and Kyle play. Kyle is sort of that outside guy who doesn't really give a shit, and AVGN gets mad and cares a lot. It's a good mix and creates funny conflict.

Mike should stick to talking about movies as himself and stick to AVGN when talking about games.

tbh I think james doesn't even know that those "2 guys play"-series exist, he only makes those videos for games he likes and knows it's be fun to have someone else to play them with.
mike was pretty much necessary for the mario paint thing considering that he does a lot of drawing.

also I don't think anyone even watches james on youtube, I certainly don't.
oh and the vids he makes are actually interesting compared to game grumps or whatever else exists, seriously who watches fucking gamegrumps?

>> No.539947

Please don't even bring them up. The whole point of their videos is just to make fun of reviewing and do lots of stupid stuff rather than be informative.

That said they aren't entertaining to me, and this is coming from a guy who likes Egoraptor's stuff sometimes. I can't stand Johntron in the least.

Hi.

I don't mind as long as they talk about games.

It's not like I watch their videos because they're good reviewers anyways.
Hell, they don't even know that much about videogames or even do research.

I watch 16-bit gems, Lazy Game Reviews (not great but ok) or my recent favourite MrBtongue.

Mike just annoys me, he just reminds me of one of those guys who never got over highschool. The guy who never really changed, who still makes the same terrible jokes, the one you only really hang around with because you liked him as a kid. He might be nothing like that but that's the vibe I get

I have a feeling that's just how he is.
Ever seen the making of the Odyssey review?
He is that kinda of guy who is always joking about everything, but then he forces humor on shit that isn't any joke material.
Like the infamous MONYCRUFTAH video, there was no reason to make that video. He just did it because the Inspector Gadget DVD thing was kinda of funny and because minecraft is popular.

I sort of understand James. My best friend is a silly fuck, but I love him dearly. If I was a meadia personality, I would have let him share any fame despite him being silly.

I'm sure Rolfe understands that Mike is unfunny, but it very tactful about it. If anything, I respect him for loving his friends more than his fans.

That being said, Mike's not MY friend, so I'm free to say how retardedly unfunny he really is.

The only "watch people play games and make funny comments on the games" style channel I watch, or will ever watch, is Giant Bomb.

Specifically Giant Bomb's reviews of boring sim titles, which somehow make an hour and half of watching Microsoft Flight Simulator the most hilarious fucking thing in history.

Their Euro Truck Simulator 2 review is one of the funniest things I've ever seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4rnJ11DNM8k

The best video that they've done together was this one where Mike was just looking through James's shit, and they come across this ridiculous contraption that James hadn't used before. It was basically a personal video unit that could be hooked up to the SNES or Genesis (model 1), but they only had the adapter for the Genesis.

I figured out pretty early on how you were supposed to hook it up, and what the stick does, but they just kind of screw around and laugh about how terrible it is. I laugh my ass off when they get out the stick...

I like both James and Mike and even Guitar Guy. They are just having fun doing their thing. Why do you hate fun, /vr/? I thought you were better than this. Watching them is how playing games with bros should be; taking games too seriously takes the fun put of it. You wouldn't invite your friend over to play in dead silence would you?

That being said, I dislike Game Grumps because they so obviously go out of their way to be obnoxious. JonTron alone is fine though. Egoraptor should stick to animation.
