I can't even watch them anymore. Ever since he became aware and started overacting and doing that stupid looking frown thing he does. The best AVGN episodes are the ones where he's just talking about something and occasionally getting mad (atari 5200), not stopping after every other sentence to go on a shit-filled tirade. Just seeing his middled-aged face in the thumbnails now makes me sick.

Don't even get me started on Mike and that fat troll he insists on being a co-host.

They were terrible, basically it's a way for people to relive the nostalgia of some of those games or take a look at games they never heard of. He did a good job with game footage, choosing games, and he's a decent narrator. The other skits he would put around that were usually awful.

James Rolfe's best episodes are when he's mostly out of character. He could he pleeeeease kill the Nerd already? AVGN is The Simpsons of youtube.

He keeps going because he desires to use the nerd as a vehicle to become a director... even though he sucks at it and really needs to give up on his dream already.

I just sort of limped away slowly as it devolved into what it's become, but I get you. Havn't seen a quality thread on /x/ in like 8 years or more, I used to like creepypasta and exploration threads but all that tulpa/succubi nonsense put me off to the whole place. I like /vr/ because it's nice to see other people enjoying something I'm mildly interested in, and can recommend new stuff to try out and enjoy. I'd never played Blast Corps until an anon suggested it, and I was not let down in the slightest.

Good threads are getting farther and fewer between, only Rome threads seem immune to the degradation of that place. Ironic those threads are overshadowed by endless Game of Trash ones, considering HBO killed the former to produce the latter.

As far as thread topic is concerned, I don't share most anon's hatred of him/his shtick, but if he hung up his hat I wouldn't be sad, he's definitely been doing it long enough and wants to branch out into doing other stuff with his life and I can't blame him for that.
Just so we can keep the e-celeb conversation board related, are there any games you saw him play/review that you then went out to try and enjoyed? I've played a few of the random licensed beat-em-ups like Power Rangers that I would have passed by otherwise, none as good as SOR but not unplayable dogshit either.

There do seem to be an abnormal number of shitposting children scattered across this board these days, needlessly baiting and aggressively shitposting rather than discuss old games. The same could be said for any board really, even /toy/. I've been lurking the transformers generals for years and my god it's become 75% pure bait, 20% ironic shitposting, and about 5% anons discussing new purchases and upcoming releases. It wasn't always like that, either, sure shitposters were always a thing, but goddamn has it devolved. Seems like a uniform decay across all boards, at least those I'm most familiar with.

Yes, I actually tried Back to the Future because I wanted to see if he was exaggerating, as he tends to do as he shifts between character and himself in all the earlier episodes, and he was not exaggerating. I am pretty sure he turned me on to "Frankenstein The Monster Returns" for the NES and I even bought a real copy because it's so good, as well.

I've said it before but I think it bears repeating: Quite a few younger posters seem to be hiding behind multiple layers of ironic humor, masking their true thoughts and feelings because posting genuinely might open them up to criticism or even personal attacks, so it's just easier to wear a permanent air of smug aloofness where everything is sarcasm and nothing is serious.
They literally cannot do anything but shitpost, in that mindset. It's an issue across the whole site if you ask me.

You already admitted you don't care what mods think, that's why you're back ban-evading and that's why you'll be banned again, because you're a useless shitposter with nothing better to do. Surrounded by /vr/ games you could play for years, you instead choose this.

He's honestly pretty funny in interviews.

Mods let shitty AVGN threads live because they like him, but insta-delete posts about any other vr celeb

just piggyback off AVGN if you want to talk about people like Joe Redifer or Chris Alaimo or Coury Carlson or Marc Duddleston.

that's what I do. except there's not much to say because they consistently make good videos unlike cinemassacre who is hit or miss and not even that good when he hits. but being inconsistent leads to arguments, which makes AVGN threads more common

I still laugh everytime I remember he got e-cucked by Mike Matei when he was white knighting Erin.

James is only keeping AVGN alive to support Mike's failing streaming career.

James talking about Power Rangers, ancient horror films or Godzilla, yeah that's kind of interesting to me, but all the video store shit with his 'friends' is a hard pass.

I think you’ve made a mistake, this doesn’t appear to have anything to do with retro games! Please remember to sage and report off topic threads!
