>>12122975

James rode the short bus all through high school and was in special ed. The tard wrangler had to account for each student who rode that bus and the day before James caught a ride home with a friend and didn't inform the bus/tard wrangler beforehand. The next morning James got on the bus and the tard wrangler asked him what happened yesterday afternoon and James told him he rode home with a friend. The schools tard wrangler said "Oh well that figures... no one tells us anything. We are the bottom of the totem pole... the balls on the dick."

James flipped the fuck out and had a panic attack at hearing an adult say "balls on the dick" and ran screaming and crying off the bus when they got to school, physically attacked the front door and collapsed bawling.

He was 16.

He also went and laid in knee high surf at the beach one night with him mom when he got kicked out of film school trying to "drown" himself as his mom stood on the beach yelling for him to get the fuck out of the water.

Im going to say the games weren't the only casualties the discourse was the biggest victim. AVGN and the snarky "I hate everything" critics of the 2000s birthed all these faggots who dont want to talk about games they like they want to find a game they hate and nitpick it to death. Everyone wants to be the angry nintendo nerd and talk about how much of a shitload of fuck these games are.

So, tgfm just brought back a discussion that has been wiped under the rug for too much time now.
The slobs and screenwave dust has finally settled, and people are starting to question Matei again.
It's bizarre, but Mike (who was never liked in the old days), managed to not only make people forget about his bullshit but also make people praise him as "the real avgn", "mike was the genius all along", when in truth, James was still the one writing majority of scripts and acting as the nerd. The nerd comes off as this genuinely pissed off nerd but deep down you can sympathize with him. Mike's emotional childish tantrums on Twitch aren't relatable and are cringe.
Anyway, Mike started being "friendly" toward the redditer truthers (ironically, since tct was created because of Matei banning everyone on the official sub reddit), and he even appeared on a video with those red cow channel, basically enforcing the "mike was the real genius behind avgn" meme which is going strong even today.
But now, people are starting to remember elvis8bit and how he tried to defend himself anonymously, how he faked a dick pic. Question is: were those things just silly things that can be forgotten?
It says a lot about Mike's character.

Lots of the old NES games. Megaman, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Ghost and Goblins. The thing is AVGN is the perfect personification of what it feels like to struggle with a game. There's lots of fair good games that make you FEEL like the AVGN at his angriest when you're struggling with some level or whatever. That's why he's so relatable!

Mike wrote a shit ton of the scripts in either in collobration with James or in some cases by himself, him and James have both talked about that. There is a compilation of him talking about scripts he helped write or wrote from various streams on YouTube. Also the vast majority of the gameplay footage was Mike since in reality James fucking sucks at video games.

Yes Mike used to act like a faggot online, did tweet his dick out from the official Cinemassacre twitter, etc etc.

This doesn't change the fact that it's accurate to say a large part of the creative force of AVGN was through Mike. Hell Mike is the one who hounded James to continue and expand the videos after James came up with the initial concept and first review.

Mike is not the actual AVGN. Neither is James. The AVGN we all knew and loved (pre-Screenwave) was an amalgamation of James/Mike. Once that formula changed, it lost its magic.

I actually subbed him back in 2009. He was a much lesser AVGN but thought his reviews was decent enough while waiting for new AVGN episodes. I later unsubbed because he would waste so much time revising and reuploading the same reviews 10 or 20 times (I'm not exaggerating) instead of making new reviews.
The whole Alanna stalking thing was fucked up, but Alanna did lie to Alex. Alex wanted a girlfriend, Alanna just wanted to have sex with The Game Dude and fucked other guys behind his back. He had every right to be pissed, but the insane stalking and attempts to win her back (why?) for months was generally insane. I hope he got mental help and settled down somewhere.

I would never use 19 to describe mike. I watched his stream for 30 minutes one time and cognitively he reminds me of my elderly father. You can see the gears of his mind spinning in real time as he formulates a thought and he gets stuck in pointless thought pits for way too long.

the grift is to sell you on an "idea".

it's mostly associated with political youtubers/streamers and a few culture warriors on the left and right who'll whine about representation in media and/or try to use buzzwords & slogans to validate whatever worldview they subscribe to. at the end of the day it's all first worlders LARPing as communists & nazis to see who can piss off the other the most.

the only differences between the grifters is that the ones on the right are in it for the money and are willing to collaborate and work together to maximize profits while the ones on the left are in it for the fame and will stab each other in the back to climb that ladder.

What a shitload of fuck. Quake was a perfect expansion to Doom, same basic idea of just the guns, enemies, and level layout coming together to create an open experience that makes you want to play it over and over until you've got the perfect route, luring the enemies just right and using the right weapon for each situation until you feel like a badass when you completely dominate the level..
Then Quake 2 goes the whole other way and makes some linear tech demo, like some asshole took an Alpha build of Half-Life, stripped of all the enemy variety, story, level design and setpieces that made it fun, added all the Quake 1 guns to the game but said "oh we better nerf these first, wouldn't want anyone to have too much fun" then stretched the result over an entire game. You're running around brown and red halls, shooting samey robot enemies that look like they came out the margins of a ten-year-olds math notebook with the same mind-numbing "shoot it until it dies" strategy over and over which is only interrupted by the game trying to tell you about its completely forgettable third-rate children's cartoon story through shitty cutscenes that look like they were made by an intern one week before launch. What the fuck were they thinking?

But yeah, this. Romero was the John Lennon to Carmack's Paul McCartney. Wild creative energy to McCartney's effortless skill for composition. Without each other Lennon's solo albums are unrestrained self-indulgence that can border on the unlistenable, and McCartney's solo efforts become highly successful pop songs that are mostly quickly forgotten, which maps neatly onto Romero's crash and burn post-Id games and Carmack's long running series of best-selling tech demos..

A lot will disagree with me, but I think the guy had talent especially during his later years of making videos.
In 2012, it felt like he was quietly retiring Game Dude and collaborating with more indie film projects. At that point he could act, knew staging and was good with post production. Even the last Game Dude episodes could have chuckle worthy writing, when he wasn't making metaphors about animals taking shits.
Sadly, he was still revising his old reviews, pissing off his fans, arguing with trolls and making terrible decisions that only ended up hurting him and his reputation. Then Alanna happened.
All he had to do was make a new show that he could call his own instead of an AVGN derivative, ignore the trolls and deal with his heartbreak in private without going nuts. Maybe if he never met Alanna, he would've wised up by and really made a name for himself.

not really. you still had your killstreaks, perks, loadouts, etc. the only thing that changed was the time periods.

the last time the series tried to step out of their comfort zone and do something different was the future/sci-fi games which all the codkiddies hated because they can't think in three dimensions.

>the franchise then took a nosedive because of it and all the hype around cod stopped
until they pulled back on the future/sci-fi games and went back to more traditional millitary shooters. now they bitch because either they're getting smoked by the tryhards & sweats who never left, meme tech that existed since the OG MW2 or goofy skins breaking their immersion.

the only way their ever gonna be happy is if you give them a time machine so they can by teenagers again.

>battlefield isn't a millsim
it's way more of a millsim than call of duty is and i think most codkiddies would unironically be better off if they actually moved on and played those kind of games since it's very much what they want based on all the complaints about immersion and realism.

He's done so many episodes and gotten so many views that it was just likely to happen eventually.
Also nobody considered him a serious videogame reviewer, he unironically was making short films about a reviewer.
The vast majority of games featured on it had their reputations completely unneffected though, mostly because those games are ASSSS

I liked AVGN because he represented me as a child getting pissed at shitty games. Back then, you had no idea anyone shared the same frustration at you, and your choices were finite unlike today. So you were forced to keep playing shitty games. Earliest videos were on point with the same frustrations.

This is why I don't buy it when people say Mike was the true genius behind AVGN.
AVGN actually understood the games and critiqued valid flaws.
Mike was probably behind things like:
>I'd rather eat a barrel of alligator feces while swimming in a pool of diarrhea being taken up the ass by a sea cucumber than play this game again!
That's will always be his brand of humor and level of maturity, just bottom of the barrel middle school humor. Without James acting ability, film knowledge and understanding of the games, the show would've gone nowhere.
Mike is not an unsung hero, he's a douchebag hack and it's unfortunate he has such a presence in the retro gaming community when he can't even play kids games from 35 years ago right. He will have nothing to offer.

>Angry "Nintendo" Nerd era (2004-2006)
Very comfy, simple and straightforward videos evocative of a bygone era of the online cultural zeitgeist, wherein YouTube was a largely free platform fueled by the creativity of uploaders before it was polluted with grifters eceleb garbage, and overlong rambling video essay slop. If there's one critique I'll give this era it's that he was kind of harsh on certain games like TMNT, Mc Kids, and Castlevania II and it took years for those games to rehabilitate their image when they were never really that bad.
>Screwattack Era (2007-2013)
This is where AVGN peaked. Stuttering Craig got James connected to a bigger budget but by and large allowed him to retain his creative freedom aside from the occasional episode cameo which was welcome, and most of the best episodes were produced during this time. At the culmination of this stage he produced the AVGN movie which unfortunately had a lot of problems but James had finally produced a feature length movie like he always wanted, had a wife and kids, and was starting a let's play series with his friends Mike, Bootsy, and Kyle and it felt like he could do no wrong.
>Post-Screwattack Era (2014-2016)
After Gametrailers crashed out and the Screwattack partnership ended and the movie came and went like a fart in the wind, James was back on YouTube by himself, the episode release schedule was slower than normal but he still managed to put out a number of well-received videos until friction started to build between him, Mike, Bootsy, and Kyle.
Anonymous No.12154687 [Report] >>12154785
>>12154673
>Screenwave Era (2017-2023)
Since Kyle and Bootsy were out of the picture and Mike would eventually follow, James was on his own again and to make the most of his income he decided to partner with a production company again, only this time they'd exert far more control over the creative process and most people generally agree this is the AVGN's lowpoint, as he didn't have a lot of natural chemistry with the grifters that comprised of Screenwave (besides maybe Kieran), and he was largely uninvolved with the creative process and couldn't lean on Mike to evoke the same kind of irreverence in the scripts his earlier videos were known for. The swearing was also toned down and the Nerd room barely even still existed. AVGN wasn't the status quo anymore it was just another gaming show on YouTube.
>Post-Screenwave Era (2024-Present)
Since the Screenwave contract concluded, the episode release schedule has slowed down considerably, Mike was brought back onboard, and James even got Kevin Finn back for at least one episode, though Kyle and Bootsy were long gone and he tried to bring in another buddy named John to fill the void. These more recent episodes are shamelessly corny and don't represent James' best work since he's far past his prime, but they at least feel like his heart's more in them than they were while under Screenwave's tenure.

To answer the thread question- probably Red Dead Revolver. Some of the late-game bosses and duels are a real fucking ball-buster and I've forgotten how hard the game can be sometimes despite it releasing in the 6th gen.
