What went wrong?
his wife
>>321721667
His christmas special was phoned-in garbage this year.
HES GONNA TAKE YOU BACK TO THE PAST
Became a hack.
>>321721746
This.
>>321721667
too staged, i mean he felt more natural before
>>321721667
he got popular and then started forcing his material for money which made it less funny and entertaining
He got too popular to be /v/'s super secret comedian anymore
>>321721667
Maybe it is that his style didnt change
But we grew up?
>>321721870
oh and this
>>321721667
You grew up.
He got old as fuck.
>>321721746
I love how the last two minutes were an ad for his Bluray.
>>321721764
TO GIVE YOU SHITTY REVIEWS THAT SUCK ASS
If you do the cucking by the book
Them you'll have a black kid
Serious question though, he just got stale after so many shit jokes, and his audience grew up from his kind of humor, he is just a piece of history trying to stay relevant at this point
>>321721869
Still riding James' coat tails
I'm suprised he didnt kill himself yet.
His movie was a failure of epic proportions right?
How did this story go again? Because of his sjw wife he didnt make the movie about the E.T Atari dump but about muh diversity? But the E.T thing actually turned out to be real? Imagine how amazing this would have been.
Here from his blog, the little shithead tries not to cry:
UPDATE #2: I’ve been getting lots of emails stating that the “MILLIONS” of unsold E.T. carts have still never been found. That’s a good point to bring up, so I guess this blog deserves a revision. I haven’t had time to look into the results of the excavation, so I just listened to all the press and the hype. Seems everyone had the notion that since some E.T. carts were found, it confirmed the legend. End of story. But no. What they actually found was a generic Atari dump with all kinds of different Atari games, E.T. being one of them. While, yes they found a few E.T.’s in there, the “myth” has always been that millions of unsold E.T. games were dumped. The generic Atari dumping, and the E.T. overstock were two separate incidents, but have sort of been fused together in peoples’ minds. So unless they found the millions of copies, those are still out there. Or have been destroyed. Or recycled into other games. Or all the game stores dumped them locally. Who knows. So the only thing this recent excavation proves is the generic Atari dumping (from their El Paso plant) is true, which has already been documented in Alamogordo newspapers 30 years ago.

The butthurt this guy must have. He is finished.
>>321721997
>Serious question
Serious answer, fucking hell
>>321721667
He was the victim of a particularly brutal cuckolding from which he hasn't fully recovered.
>>321721667
is he the one with the penis
he got married.
and i am not even saying he is a cuck, or his wife is a bitch or anything, but after you get married some things just gets different.
>>321721714
this is the right answer, senpai
>>321722009
10 INCHES
He had to change his name from the Angry Nintendo Nerd to the Angry Video Game Nerd.
>>321721746
I'm watching this now after not seeing a video of his in about two years. He sounds like he's about to fall asleep. What the fuck happened to this asshole?
>>321722268
He got too old for his own shit
http://youtu.be/qE6Gmy2t-Es
>>321722179
That's not the face of something with a soul
>>321722404
This makes me wish he would still make movies similar to those he did when he was young. BJ was entertaining enough, but I preferred when they just played the games.
rip avgn
Ruined Monster Madness this year
Literally the only good series of videos left, and he fucked it up
>>321722719
MINECRAPTA
>>321722868
What'd he do?
>>321722632
That's what I mean, it seems like he is shoehorning in "mythology" and other irrelevant shit in his uploads for a chance at getting offered a TV show or something.
>>321722719
This shit along with the goomba twerk are going to the museum of enjoyable cringe
>>321722179
Wow doesn't she look and sound like a pleasant person that doesn't let the internet sway her opinions of shit.
I have some serious doubts that she herself actually thinks that the show needs to be more diverse so much as the internet made it cool for her to be a dick about it.
I still watch the show, not sure why but its nice to see james
James is tired of doing AVGN, he never really cared for video games that much but it's what made him successful. Now that he has a wife and a kid he is obligated to try to keep the money train rolling and it's killing him. I'm sure James would be much happier working on actual movies.
>>321722879
>>321722982
Wait, did he take that video down?
>>321721869
no wonder the content is so shit

Added Mike
>>321723154
yep
>>321723132
>I'm sure James would be much happier working on actual movies.
Too bad he fucked up his big chance at being taken seriously.
>>321722902
not him but it seemed so poorly planned and rushed.
>>321723223
There's somewhat of a mirror https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=694-pgvrZio
>>321723035
Just an advice, maybe you shouldn't believe in everything you read on the internet, i get its a stupid thing to suggest on 4chan but sometimes things aren't as black and white and simple as they look
>>321721667
I loved his videos on Castlevania games, also the early Board James episodes. The videos now don't have the humor they used too. Pretty much every AVGN episode before 100 is good, and Board James is good. I don't like anything else on his channel.
>>321723498
Bootsy's battletoads series is good
>>321721667
So, I haven't followed this guy, what actually went wrong? I hear a lot of cuck jokes and stuff.
>>321721667
It's been 10 years, anon.
>>321723347
But the text came from Cinemassacre webpage.
>>321723715
James is washed up, nothing more. The cuck thing is just memeing.
>>321723347
Hi Mrs. Rolfe
It's gone on too long and the character has gotten stale. It was great in like 2008 or whenever but the character's time has passed.
In the latest he doesn't see to know there's a run button at first then he just seems to suck at the game.
>>321724791
That's why he does an episode once every couple months now.
Also, Board James has replaced AVGN and is much better and legit funny. Badluck Bootsy >
>>321721746
The whole game cover series was shit too. James is terrible at acting. The forced fake laughter or anger is too bad to even be amusing at this point.
There is no soul anymore, he overreacts at everything and the little "cinematic" scenes lack the creativity and humour from before, i mean, just compare the first bible games review with last mortal kombat review, is like he's a cartoon of himself now, a bad cartoon.
More like what went wrong here?
Is he even active nowadays?
Is he ever coming back for real?
the seaman video was perfect though
>>321726647
I liked that episode too, the game was absurd enough and James acted pretty similarly to the earlier episodes.
best episode recently?
big rigs for sure
>>321721667
He cucked up.
>>321727018
It pissed me off seeing him do Big Rigs. It was so obvious just wanting to get views. Fucking everyone has done something on big rigs
>>321726438
Last I checked he was making videos about combating depression or some shit. He stopped being funny a long time ago.I also vaguely recall a tweet he was mentioned in about him being a pedophile.Wouldn't know what that's all about.
>>321727138
i didn't realize it was a meme game tbqh. I don't watch very many youtubers
>>321727245
How the fuck can you come to places like 4chan and not know about Big Rigs? It's not even just a youtuber thing.
>>321727138
he gets requests to do games like superman 64. it's clear he's gonna get memegames. as soon as he does Yawning Druids i'll shave my penis
>>321727203
The shit? Things sure went south for him.
>>321726438
guest voices begging to be in his vids
>>321727624
Well you certainly fit the stereotype
>>321721667
He stopped trying
Simple, the content ran dry. It was bound to happen sooner or later, but he's done all the classic bad games now.
>>321722179
She needs to be gassed right away.Along with all Tumblr reject special snowflakes,that is.
>>321726094
100% agree, I still watch new episodes of AVGN but I put on the ritz with a new Board James episode. Reminds me of old AVGN, back when it was all fun.
>>321727203
>>321727445
Yeah, after Episode 63 he went on a hiatus then started making these really painful "we're still here" videos that basically just consist of him and his disgusting cow of a wife moaning and bitching about every little thing. Also last summer he apparently had some very serious health problems which I chalk up to him being a fat nerd.
>>321727445
I think the moment he started doing: >>321727621
is when he started going down hill. There is a definite noticeable quality shift over time.
Why's everyone calling him a cuck? What'd he do?
>>321721928
Nah, his old videos are still fucking hilarious
I think the most notable drop in quality was right around episode 100. I'm sure it didnt help that the barbie video totally destroyed the magic for me.
>>321728639
...so that's it? No real life cuckoldry took place?
>>321728639
>falseflagging
or
>I haven't watched the movie
>>321728774
There's no love interest. There's even a scene where he basically tells her to fuck off.
>>321728708
I always thought the Crazy Castle and Lester the Unlikely videos were the just as bad from a review perspective. one could go as far as to say the SMB3/Wizard video could count too with that battle at the end to compensate for the short review of SMB3 (James really wrote himself into a corner with that one).
I remember watching these years ago and having tears from the laughter. Now he seems bored and I'm even more bored watching.
>>321729473
SMB3/Wizard wasn't bad honestly.
The possessed NES and super megadeth christ were at least memorable moments.
Crazy Castle was mostly spent on the skit rather than the review and Lester the Unlikely was just a boring game in general.
>>321726094
But board James just ended
10" happened
>>321728774
Is just a joke, of course not. It started on /tv/, because those fags are obsessed with cuckoldry for some reason.
>>321728925
Hmm. /v/ lied to me once again.
>>321730640
Is it just me or do they kinda have a same face thing going on?
>>321722179
TL;DR, The AVGN is getting destroyed by a feminist
>>321730061
Just the season ended.

Mike is shitty
the forced anger is shitty
He should just become Board James. Those episodes are great. They're fun, they had the right amount of silliness while still having AVGN flavor.
Does he still get viewership now?
Mike.
Also, there are a lot of people on youtube now who do the spiel better than him.
>>321732658
Like who? I just really know of AVGN and would be interested to see others like it.
>>321726098
Aside from the forced laughs and shit, I don't think those were too bad. My real gripe with it is that many of the covers he did weren't really all that bad.
