That makes more sense. Still wouldn't have shocked me if it was not that, and a guy doing a serious 6 hour video. Ever since lasagna cat did that one joke video where they discussed the pipe strip for over an hour I swear everyone has been trying to one up it by making spergy 3+ hour videos about whatever. Except they are not doing it as a joke.
True enough. At the beginning the guy says upfront that the video proper begins around 4 minutes or so and the description congratulates anyone who takes enough time to watch the whole thing, so at least he's acknowledging the issue from the start. God knows I've bitched about James and AVGN for as long as that video (sometimes on the Truth reddit, lovingly sticking it to Justin right to his disgusting fucking "face"), just never for that long at once. So I give the guy a bit of credit for saying "I know it's long, but it wasn't made in a single sitting".
I get it, YouTubers have to make money via sponsors and shit, but at least put some fucking life in your sponsor ad because it's so lifeless as if James doesn't even want to do it. Even at least the knife one from the "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" one had something charming to it. I'm even surprised the Raid sponsor actually looked at the lifeless ad and went "Yeah, this is good enough, here's your paycheck".
This. I have no problem with YouTubers getting sponsors, it's literally the easiest money they'll ever make, but at least make it fun for fuck sakes. Someone like Internet Historian gets Raid sponsors but actually puts a lot of effort into them and makes it entertaining, but whenever I see a YouTuber just blatantly do a single take reading in the most boring, monotone voice and low energy it annoys the shit out of me. A company is giving you thousands for this, at least put the work in.
ditto. also feel the same when podcasters do it all serious/monotone. my favorite podcasters have fun with their ad reads
I got drunk and watched all of this. It was a monumental (and sobering) waste of time. The entire thing could have been condensed into 2-3 hours if the dude would have gotten rid of or trimmed the AVGN clips. They look log dog shit. They all have 20 filters applied to them and have been pitched down. Everyone knows the AVGN theme, why is it necessary to play a weird modified version of it? Why does he need to play the entire intros of some classic Nerd episodes? It’s like this dude treated this video like those tards who pad essays out with tons of unnecessary words, like I’m doing right now. Brevity is good.
First, god bless you ya insane bastard.
The first fifteen minutes or so explains why he’s even bothering to make the video and briefly goes over his history with Screenwave. Apparently, they are beginning to strike against those with dissenting opinions. Not sure if this has anything to do with the 2021 room tour video and the fact that it now seems like James is aware of the criticism.
2 Netflix shows? Too new for James, no time to watch. You got those on VHS? I think that's the only way to guarantee he will watch them.
You really get the feeling James would have been better off shooting a low budget, Wayne's World inspired movie in which the Nerd tries to prove the landfill theory, gets his hands on E.T., and doesn't know what to do for the review because he -gasp- found out it wasn't that bad. But that would mean putting in effort into the script which he didn't have time for, and we don't want him to suffer now, do we?
It would have been really cool had he used his weight as the nerd to see if he could track down anybody involved in the making of ET and doing an interview. Or if he can't track down anyone related to ET maybe see if he can find people who worked for Atari during that period and ask what it was like to work for them at that time. Go into detail how a shit load if fuck is made.
Where's our supermarket cake?
