its more so he has an autistic obsession with things from his childhood, he then expanded his collection when his videos became more popular

>> No.7402864

>>7402845
James, Mike and Kyle game hunted and when he became popular the collection became bigger through fan donations.
The reality is that while James liked the NES, SNES, and to some degree the N64, he simply lost touch with gaming in the sixth gen. We know he played Melee and mained Mr. Game and Watch, and played MGS3 Snake Eater, but by this point he didn't care for videogames beyond a passing hobby. There's a reason why he was originally the Angry Nintendo Nerd, NES and SNES are where his fondest vidya memories are.
Unless he plays a game that sparks that something in him like Earthbound did, we're stuck with episodes written essentially by an outsource that he has no input or interest on.
Since he liked Earthbound and likes fantasy, I was hoping he'd gotten interest on Dragon Quest and we'd get another episode written by him later down the road. What a disappointment.

I dont even know who AVGN is, so I dont care. Just look at how awful this board has become and try to defend it. 6th gen zoomers are cancer and the mods dont give a fuck because they are in on it. There is nothing left to do now but to post less and less over time until I just stop coming here completely. If someone wants to talk about hobbies, 4chan is no longer the place to do that. It's just an endless sea of mindless garbage and no one gives a fuck.

Is everyone that still posts about James in this day and age underage?
He pumped out great content from 2004-2012~, I wish he had just retired or something. It's so crazy to me that people are obsessed with his and Mike's lives and feel so much entitlement in regards to him making videos. Just go back and watch the classics, it's not like he's ever going to make anything as good as the original episodes.

He doesn't even write the episodes anymore or chose the games. Justin Silverman actually went to the CinemassacreTruth and did an AMA that confirmed it. Screenwave does everything, James just shows up and reads his lines at the studio they built for him so he can focus on vanity projects like his band

This is what I mean, what adult or person that was a fan of AVGN back in the day has time for this? I get that it sucks that the new episodes are ghost written and bad but what do you expect when someone has been doing the same thing for nearly 20 years? Move on with your lives

I don't post there but I find the board fascinating to lurk. There is currently a major schism in the userbase with it being divded on if Justin Silverman/Screenwave are pieces of shit ruining AVGN or if they are just regular guys who aren't so bad and are just trying to do their job and accomdate James post-Justin Silverman's AMA. To be honest he does come across as likeable and honest in it. Him coming to do that was like a bomb dropping there.

The major reason 4chan discussion is pretty shit these days has nothing to do with AVGN or people posting him. The real reason 4chan sucks is that people took the "we're reddits antagonist" too seriously, to the point that any thread that isn't ironic shitposting is deemed "reddit", if you're sincere about any subject, you're not considered "valid"

Sure but honestly the gamergate culture spawned from /v/ in 2014 and leading to modern /pol/ is what ruined 4ch
It doesn't help that the /pol/tards also attracted election tourists bringing an influx of true retards
