timp posted:I used to watch a lot of NC back in 2008 and then I saw that crazy longass review where there were tons and tons of internet reviewers there and it was scripted. AVGN was there and you could tell he was kind of embarrassed to be around all these other ACTUAL nerds You're absolutely right. James did manage to mature throughout AVGN's run. All he did was scale down the character - and make it 1/10th of the site. His (classic)horror knowledge is second to none, and his videos with Mike come across as "real" instead of playing up for the camera. He still goes to the "nerd well" from time to time, but the site has moved beyond that. His nerd videos are less of a crutch than when he started. His movie will probably be poo poo- and would have bought a ticket but it sold out where I would have gone. He's provided entertainment for 10 years and to pay for one "15 dollar ticket" seems like a fair penance. I'm surprised you guys haven't talked about Pat the NES Punk who I find really annoying.

Gorefluff posted:The Cinemassacre series on the old Godzilla movies is really good. I never had many video games as a kid so the nostalgia factor of his AVGN videos are lost on me, but I'm a huge Godzilla nerd and I still rewatch a few random videos of his on them if I have a few minutes to kill. From what it seems - it's Mike who actually had a lot of the other systems and games. And put them in so his "nerd credibility" was raised.

I've seen really unfunny things where I cringe in embarrassment- but this doesn't even elicit any emotion whatsoever. Add this to the OP tia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4evj2U8Xd4Y When you lose the autistic crowd- you've really failed. I don't think someone has more succinctly explained why he's so bad.
