This is the best meme smear campaign that de/v/iants can come up with against Arino.
>>
>>3028001

The cuck meme is a mix of /tv/ memes that were pushing the whole cuckold meme at the time, and it coincided with the release of the AVGN movie, which had a scene with the girl on the movie (which was supposedly AVGN's love interest, although not really) kissing a black kid that was AVGN's friend, in front of AVGN, suddenly, without any explanation. It was admittedly weird and out of place, then again the black kid felt out of place to begin with.
Prior to that, AVGN's wife made a blog entry on cinemassacre, talking about how cinemassacre was a "caucasian sausage fest" and how it needed more diversity, kind of SJW stuff.

On top of all that, AVGN also blogged when his daughter was born, saying she had some complications at birth.

/v/ took all of that and worked a super meme about AVGN being a cuckold IRL that's still going today in 2016 and doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon.

I've long since been done with AVGN, but James is still a cool guy to listen to. I still love hearing him talking about childhood memories/experiences with games or anything to do with film making.

I just kind of feel bad for him. He clearly has no real interest in games or gaming and his real love is the cinema.

But he built up to much of a reputation as the AVGN and now can't escape the shadow without given up all his e-fame and frankly doesn't seem like he has the guts to bite the bullet and do it. So now he's just resigned himself to being the AVGN and he's growing older day by day and watching his real dream slip further and further away

it's pitiable

It's really too bad. I can tell by certain things that I've observed in his videos (seems awkward doing gaming videos, prob only reluctantly does James & Mike mondays, trying to do a lot of different projects that are more film making centric rather than retro gaming etc.) that you are spot on with your assessment there.

He should just enjoy what he has and focus what his greatest strength is, which is making random videos about movies, games or anything really. I have a feeling he's going to totally lose his fanbase by veering increasingly away from gaming/AVGN and more in random weird film projects in the coming years.

As far as I am aware, there were some complications at the time of birth. I think it is just the internet that has run with that and evolved it into his baby being broken/retarded/potato, just like how his wife's admittedly odd "Caucasian sausage fest" comment + black guy in the movie (I haven't seen the film) has expanded into James being a full cuckold fetishist or that his naturally thinning hair has some greater significance.

>>
>>3028746

Not bald, but I started shaving my head due to it being more hygienic and practical.
I don't get it, but ever since I started shaving, I started getting laid more often. Even got some girls saying that they specifically like baldies.
Kinda surprised me.
The problem with James is that he's naturally balding, and he still keeps his hair. If I were him, I'd shave that shit off.

In fact, everyone should shave their hair, at least if you're male. It's gross when you think about it, dead cells and shit.

>I have a feeling he's going to totally lose his fanbase by veering increasingly away from gaming/AVGN and more in random weird film projects in the coming years.

Well that's what I see as his biggest problem. He SHOULD lose his fanbase and start completely from scratch as a film guy proper and he should have done it long ago. Like 8 years ago.

Now he's too dependent on this shit because no movie company is gonna take him, he wasted 12 years of his life on this shit when he should have been getting a foot hold in the industry doing shit jobs but making connections with designers, writers, lighting staff whatever.

Did he even go to film school? He could of gotten a set job a long time ago if he did even he's just fucking setting up a crafts service table.

The term "paying your dues" exists for a reason. It sucks but the connections you form will really help get to know shit that can help you get into the real movie business.

Now the the only thing he has going for him is a (literally) shitty web show and those are a dime a dozen. Doesn't matter he was one of the first. Hollywood will always hire from within.

What kind of logic is that? Don't you shower every day? If you wash your hair it's not a problem.
>>
>>3030927
>Not showering every other day
>>
>>3030927

Okay, maybe I worded that wrong. First of all, I shaved because it's more practical, and second, it is more hygienic. Yes I do shower every day, but during the day your hair might recollect all kind of dirt that's on the air, or your own sweat. If you have no hair in your head, there will be less dirt around your head during the time you're not showering.
Also, hair is dead cells anyway. It looks pretty on women but I realized I don't need it.

I've only gotten benefits from shaving, nothing negative. Sometimes I let it grow a little bit but then I feel the need to shave it off, it just feels good and I look good with a shaved head, I know it doesn't look good in everyone though, skull shape and face structure/jawline is important.

/vr/ had AVGN threads for months without any cuck memes. Just pure unfiltered fanboyism.
But I'm not talking about /vr/ exclusively. The guy was famous even before this board was created.

Or are you implying that he doesn't have a huge fanbase?
>>
>>3032126
err on this board avgn has never been liked. ever
>>
>>3032126

No idea actually, the only times I see AVGN mentioned is on here and on /v/ and as far as I remember it's nothing but cuck memes.

I think before the cuck meme started people were still hating on him, or at least saying that "he's not good anymore".

I agree with you he made a few amusing videos but I don't get the obsession with him: either positive or negative.

During the day all that dirt and stuff's going to just settle on your head instead of your hair, so it's not really much difference. It doesn't matter either way if you're just gonna shower 10 hours later anyway. There's no time for it to do harm.
>>
I'd like to say a few things, since I just marathoned some of his older biographical videos. Leaving this post here just to say it all.
It's like he had a dream when he was young, about movies and everything, but it kind of shattered thanks to the internet and how he's forced himself to do the AVGN videos...
He could've made connections in the film industry during his life, but couldn't, so he sort of ended up with an "okay" B-Movie in his curriculum and forced hate memes everywhere.
I genuinely feel sorry for him, especially when he said that without his movies he's nothing. They're obviously his life, but he spent his 20s to early 30s in the wrong way.

So, well, I'm sorry James. Hope you can work it out.

>>
>>3032746
I never realized this that much until you said something. I appreciate the man's AVGN videos, and his older ones definitely seemed like he was more into it since most of the games he reviewed he had actual connections with, but now he's looking at just obscure games that would obviously be of subpar quality, and it seems a lot more forced than before in an attempt to just meet status quo. I kinda want to see James take a break or just stop the Nerd altogether for a few years or something while he works on original things. Filming is his passion with the AVGN being an offshoot from said passion. Maybe small original works not tied to games on his channel would be nice, at least more often. Jesus christ this post made me feel.

Because I want to be a director too.

No, hair really does recollect more dirt than if you're just shaved.
But you're right, there's probably no real threat as in, you're not going to die of contamination because you have hair.

It's mostly a matter of comfort and practicality for me. It feels better and cleaner, and in my particular case, it looks good.

I always thought it was weird he wanted to get into movies but never left Jersey/Pennsylvania. It's like, no wonder he never met anyone who could hook him up in the biz. But I can sort of relate, I squandered my 20s and am now squandering my 30s with no direction and going nowhere. Maybe for whatever reason he couldn't just leave and do it, I don't know.
>>
>>3028385
I found that really self-evident, anon. Particularly the videos where he talks about the works he did during college, not to mention all the home movies he did, he just seems to enjoy the process but can't make anything half decent for the life of him. Must be weird to have a one off experimental video become the very thing to define your whole life, especially when he isn't even really that into video games outside of the NES and SNES.

they're the heroes /vr/ deserves, but not the ones it needs right now

so how about Coury & Try4ce from My Life in Gaming as the new /vr/ approved youtubers?

their RGB videos are pretty great, and their normal game-focused videos are also excellent. they actually put a little effort into production rather than just pointing their iphones at themselves.

I think saying a little effort is a bit of an understatement. Any of their videos that I've actually watched have been very well produced.

I think he happened to be in the right place at the right time. He just so happened to have a perfect platform (when youtube came out) and happened to have an idea anyone can relate to. Everyone gets angry at games in some way I'm sure.

Also I'm sure the NES/Nintendo nostalgia was just beginning to take off and he lead it forward. 2006 was pretty early for all that, since no one really gave 2 shits about NES yet at that point.

Personally I think he should embrace the fact he was one of the first youtubers to explode on the internet and paved the way for other people to make videos about retro games, childhood connections to games and other little things we remember as kids.

I know he has dreams to be a filmmaker, but sometimes its better to just embrace what you already have rather than lament and feel like a failure because you couldn't do what you wanted to do. Sometimes other things in life forge another path and you just have to roll with it.

As of late this board has been a retro /v/, especially with the crusade against the dreamcast.

I lost all respect for James after the movie. The movie was awful.

For years he's been making the AVGN episodes, saying he does it because it's easy to do but he's really a filmmaker at heart. AVGN was nothing more than a joke that got out of hand. But twelve years later he still hasn't progressed beyond yelling "fuckfarts" at his TV and he made one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I've seen his other films and they suck too. James always uses the "it's supposed to be like a B-movie!" excuse when talking about his own films but they're not B-movies, they're just shit. It's also very clear in the Mike and James Play videos that James doesn't know anything about video games.
I used to hate Mike but right now he seems like a pretty cool guy, and so do Ryan and Bootsy, because they actually kinda care about video games and enjoy playing them. Fuck James.
>>

>Personally I think he should embrace the fact he was one of the first youtubers to explode on the internet and paved the way for other people to make videos about retro games

>>3034071
I think a lot of what James tried to do with the AVGN movie was actually pretty good.

A lot of his solutions to practical effects like the rocket taking off and the car crashing where pretty fun and well done, definitely "B".

The issue was the fucking script was one of the dumbest fucking things ever. He could have made something else with that money, but he had to tie it to AVGN.

Since AVGN can't carry a feature length film, you now have to shoehorn in a shitload of side characters, and instead of making it something relatable, like having to fight off the characters in the sketches of his previous reviews like Joker and Bugs Bunny (most likely due to copyright), we instead get generic sidekick, generic love interest, and generic villian with generic villain sidekick.

I think James had it in him to make something decent. Even if it is in a "so bad it's good" kind of way. The issue was that AVGN was just "so bad it's bad"
>>
>>3034071
>>3034550
Just look at the Board James finale. That was some awful writing there, and then he had to make a second video just to explain it made it even worse. How do you fuck up something as simple as a couple guys playing a board game? He turned it into multi-dimensional immortal killers and tried to be 2deep and it flopped.

I like James, even though the movie was fucking terrible, not like I was one of the people who actually paid for that to happen. I usually only watch his content every few months after it's built up a bit. I don't know, I just don't hold these folks on youtube up to super high standards, there's certainly shit I won't watch like Doug or any of his crew.

Mike and Bootsy are cool but Ryan's just fat and annoying
>>
One thing I was disappointed by with the movie is that, if I remember correctly, he said in a log once it would be "Half like a review, Half like a movie". I've always been the kind of person who hates sketches during reviews and never liked most of AVGN's sketch characters or comedy, so seeing that the movie was 90% that and a review shoved in during the credits made me really mad.

I still like "Out of character" James a lot. I like it when James shows his true colors and passion, like during most movie reviews and some of the older games he grew up with. Monster Madness alone I think is some of his best stuff.

I also hope he takes a break of some sort. I can only stand non AVGN James and Bootsy, I really can't stand Mike at all. Which is too bad, I'd watch him draw or talk about comics, but fuck his lack of wit when he's sitting with someone else.
>>
>>3034665
I think James should pursue more original amd complex things like that Jekyll and Hyde trailer. That kind of stuff allows him to please his fans who follow him for the videogame content while simultaneously permitting him to be more creative, original, and experiment with effects and sets that wouldn't fit in an AVGN episode. Sadly, though, it seems like his site's primary output is devolving into GameGrumps "anyone with a camera and videogames could do this" territory.
>>

That trailer was one of the greatest vids he's released in recent times. Whilst I'm not against J&M Mondays, I'd love to see James return to humble beginnings again.

The movie was awful but I still like James. Monster Madness is always great, and I enjoy the J&M Mondays even if it hasn't been too interesting lately.

Something no one mentions about the AVGN movie is I think he had 2 other co writers didn't he? He should have just wrote the thing himself, prob would have turned out a little bit better at least. Just feels like too many retard cooks (Kevin Finn and his wife, god knows who else) spoiled that whole pot to me.

The movie was co-written by Kevin Finn which I think had a lot to do with it being terrible.

>>
>>3028813
He was waring a rug in all his fucking movies, yes even the James Bond ones. Rewatch them, they are pretty obvious in the older ones.
>>
>>3037751

that could actually work

Mike is quick enough to keep up with Pat verbally, and Bootsy is skilled enough to keep up with him in the games (as well as being laid-back enough to dilute the high energy of the other two guys)

James is relaxed like Bootsy is, but not really skilled, at least not in real time... he is better kept behind the scenes, or put in front but given a script
>>
>>3037991

I've watched a lot of Pat's older videos (before he started doing so many of those boring podcast ones) and I found him to be refreshingly humble

he's loud and a bit abrasive, but like James, and unlike too many of these other morons, he keeps his goofy shtick as just a silly act where a silly clown is working hard at falling over himself to amuse you, and doesn't try to pretend he is above the material by snarking at everything, and doesn't usually try to shoehorn in "serious" drama or super-long costume skits, and doesn't let his personal problems sneak into his work and poison it

(granted, James allegedly did some of this in Board James and in his movie... but I don't happen to have seen any of that, so I still feel this way about him)

Does the same shit every week. Hitting up flea markets looking for retro games (old music/comics in franks case). Hanging out with younger guys that are kinda into the same shit you are because youre too socially inept and uninterested in things people your age are interestes in. Think younger "friends" actually like you, but they just tolerate you because youre good for a laugh. Lose friends because they get married/have kids but youre still a virgin. Hit on any woman that goves you the time of day but cant seal the deal because you go from flirt to creepy in the blink of an eye.
>>
>>3034071
James knows dick all about games, thats for sure. I dont think he actually plays anything off camera. He definately doesnt play or keep up with new games.

Bootsy games, but only shit he already likes.

Mike games a lot, but not a lot of new shit. He does some new shit for streams. He also is rather technically inept.

Ryan is the biggest gamer and plays a ton of shit, new and old. I actually thought ryan was the biggest tool when he was first in videos, but he's grown on me. He needs to go up a fuckin shirt size though. His shirt buttons are holding on for dear life.
