James Rolfe / James D. Rolfe / Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) / Rex Viper and Cinemassacre / Screenwave - Now with not much grieving about a 41-year old man still making videos on YouTube. We're the balls on the dick.

James likes to think the actor was an actual vampire...

...yeah, I can see why he was in Special Ed.

 

[CyrusHowler]

I’m pretty sure he was just saying that. It’s like grown adults that like to pretend Santa Claus is real.
But yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if James was on the spectrum. I saw a YouTube comment once that suggested James is autistic and the reason he says he has no time for anything is because he genuinely believes that what he has to do is harder than it is, and that he really and truly doesn’t have any time.

That rumor about Max Shreck has been around since the movie was shot and was the basis for Shadow of the Vampire that had Willem Dafoe playing him.

I just noticed something Funny on the Screenwave Website. When you look at most of the AVGN Blu-Rays, they're 19.99 with the exception of the AVGN X Blu-Ray which is 29.99. But then you look at the AVGN movie and it's 5 bucks LMAO! They know better than to try and ask 20 bucks for it. I still haven't seen it and still have no desire to see it. The only part I've seen is the E.T. Atari review from the ending. I just thought it was funny to point out.

That doesn't stop it from being retarded.

Dude was a method actor and iirc went all out on Orlok. I can believe people from the 1920s bought it in some fashion.

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

That doesn't stop it from being retarded.

He's not being literal, but pointing out that when we know so little about the making of the film, and everyone involved is long dead, it adds a certain mystique to it. Silent films are hard to watch through modern eyes, but I can't deny it has an inherent creepiness to it you could never replicate with modern techniques.

 

[Bob Loblaw Law Blog]

good review, and since it's something he cares about there is some enthusiasm

 

[deeman]

Odd that Crustin only kept the Cinemassacrethruth AMA...

Well, he has some self-awareness, at least.

 

[deeman]

It feels more like that's the only clout he can get now. That he was THAT guy... wonder if he will go Brutus and start ratting on how bad things really are on the inside, he feels like one of those guys.

 

[BrunoMattei]

It's a "James gives a fuck about what he's talking about" video. At some point he gets sidetracked some vampire facts he's talked about before but it's better than Mario fucking Maker.

It's an okay video. He doesn't really bring much to it that hasn't been ruminated before but for people not totally familiar with Nosferatu. The line at around 8:00 where he thinks the actor playing Orlock may have been a real vampire was very cringe indeed. The line towards the end where he considers the Herzog remake is "The 2001: A Space Odyssey of horror films" is bizarre indeed.

Yeah, it's a tranny but they made a good video on the failure of Doug Walker's Demo Reel so this might be interesting to watch.

I watched that long ass video last night and was wondering if it was a troon. Something about the way they speak always clocks them, I don’t know if it’s an attempt to mimic female enunciation or what. That and they’d go off on tangents about video editing that seemed akin to what an autistic dude might sperg over, but I shrugged and watched anyway. It’s a good look into the drama for any tl/dr folks out there.

 

[AsianChris]

Opinion discarded, then.

He just sounds like a gay guy pitched up. Besides, Sarah Z often brags about having a pet trans to give her opinions more clout or something,

Lady Emily is a writer for Sarah Z. I thought her Demo Reel was good despite a few issues, but I'm probably not going to watch her Cinemassacre video. Her prelude video was just talking about her mental health issues and how people wanted her to do more drama videos so that pretty much turned me off watching the Cinemassacre video.

2008: shits on Chinesium garbage like LJN,
2022: shills Chinesium garbage like Raid: Shadow Legends.

Zoinks, Jim. Doug Walker has a better hairstyle and actually puts effort into his sponsorships. Protip: go to a hairdresser to shave down your hair on the sides so the hair on the top doesn't appear so weird, or just glue a baseball cap to your skull.

If I were James I'd consider putting a more positive spin on AVGN. Start playing and talking about good and/or underrated games. He pulled it off with his Earthbound review whilst still keeping up the AVGN shtick and that was a great video. I know shitty games have been the MO since day one but at this point it could freshen things up a lot, bringing good older games to a larger audience. Its safe to say that a lot of AVGN viewers are to some extent retro game enthusiasts, why not recommend good games for us to try?

I think he has to reinvent it somehow now. This would probably be the easiest way to do it (playing good games must be better than shitty ones. could do good with the enthusiasm). The legendary shit out there are covered, the schtick is old as fuck at this point. There simply cant be very much more he can do with the nerd without changing it up a bit.

I watched it until they basically said "The criticism isn't justified because the reddit is mean and I make content too" and saw that the video was only two thirds done and knew I just wasted an hour of my life on tranny shitty opinions.
