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.

The funny thing to me is that he self-published it on Amazon. It's a print on demand thing. So, he didn't need to give Screenwave anything. But he either signed a contract or "paid" for their services to assist him in their meticulous attention to editing the fucking thing. So he is an absolute god damn retard. Here, let me give someone 20% from the profits of MY book for doing absolutely fucking nothing except maybe transferring an Apple word processor file to MSWord and calling it a day.

Its possible he signed the worst possible contract with Screenwave where they just own a peice of any and all works he creates while partnered with them.

Did he ever dvelve into why he didn't self publish from the get-go? Embarassing to claim this is a book 20 (!) years in the works.

My guess is that he was either adding the "finishing touches" I.E. Rex Viper and some other bullshit. Or, my hypothesis, he's getting ready to retire.

 

[Jack Awful]

The "I made 90 movies" thing is exactly the same as Chris Chan talking about how he created Sonichu on his resume.

 

[McSneaks]

Stinkwave certainly had their hands in multiple shitpiles, but I doubt more and more that they did any intentional harm to James's business. They're doing everything and handing out cue cards for James to read before a camera, all for a 20% profit cut or something, all the while James fucks around with ceiling spotlights or copying 400 TB of his childhood movies over a month, then complaining about being overworked.

Big Ryan fan btw.

They absolutely didn't. Most of them are autistic and should never interact with people at all (which is where most of the problems come from) and have some very weird, undeserved egos considering they've literally done NOTHING with no successful project ever, and the only one they became involved with was already peaked success and quickly falling (which you can argue if it's been a consistent slide, the slob bodies have slowed it at all, or people becoming aware of them escalated it)

But it definitely was never intentional/malicious. The main problem is Weirdo Awkward James always had a lot of leeway for his weird shit and lack of enthusiasm, because aw passionate weirdo. But after it was revealed that not only does he have 0 passion, but EVERYTHING is being done by these unlikeable buffoons, all that leeway vanished immediately, even though they didn't necessarily DO anything. Which was only emphasized and made worse by terrible decisions like putting James who can't have a two sentence conversation, and has always been shown in heavily scripted environments, into shit like podcasts and the rental shit with loud, unlikable people. Even James & Mike Mondays is cringe because it's so blatant he just doesn't care, and that's WITH Mike editing and hiding most of the real James.

I guarantee James doesn't take their advice about shit; he does everything they say because he's lazy and doesn't care, but if he says "ME RITE BOOK" or "I WANT MOUN-TIN!" they'd probably immediately be shelved if they said "that's gay dude". Justin alluded to this pretty heavily in between "MELON HAHA".

James doesn't consider himself a youtuber or a reviewer: he's a film maker. He makes great films, he understands films, he could have been big in films. He fullheartedly considers a homemade videotape he made with a friend in the backyard when he was 12 a legitimate impressive film. You can't tell someone like that ANYTHING. The movie likely made him even more defensive and protective of MUH FILMOGRAPHY too

Man, I thought the whole "90 films" thing was just a meme by his detractors. He really is fucking serious isn't he? He is now crossing into complete delusion with some of the things he says. No normal human being who has some sort of passion for film would seriously say that the home movies they made as a kid were a serious part of their resume.

Now? His trailers are literally listed on his imdb page as films not sure why you would think it was a meme lol. He has literally every video he ever filmed as a kid listed in the same "filmography" as everything he's ever made, going all the way back to his original website up to imdb. They're literally in the same category as the AVGN movie, in a list and to him personally. If you watch any of his older videos where he talks about making movies guaranteed in every single one he quotes some stupid retard number like I made 40 films by age 15

I think the average (ex)/AVGN fan really underestimates the huge, autistically narcissistic ego he has because for so many years he had actual friends around him curating the personality presented (which they knew is the best they could do if they wanted to still be friends, and the genuinely supported his passion and wanted to help), and it only leaked out here and there instead of him literally throw it at people while the help drives him around. Like the narcissism required for that dragon video (and to ask workers to move out of frame so he can kneel and fake cry) is mindboggling from a guy who laughed and said poopyfuck at megaman

But James is really treating this stuff like it is portfolio items for his career.

Oh, my sweet child, no. He's not treating it like a portfolio...it is his portfolio. I would bet you pretty much anything you want that when he tried to shop his movie to Jewwood he ABSOLUTELY listed his experience of 90 films and referenced "talking head" or some shit. GUARANTEED. The fact that they're listed as credits literally everywhere imdb, cinemassacre, his book, every panel, it's absolutely his professional portfolio he's deadly proud of. Likely more so than his actual movie which he's never talked about now, but still references his childhood masterpieces

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

i see his videos promoted but everytime i look at him i just see soy

I mean, I agree but at the same time it isn't like anyone from Screenwave is the image of masculinity.

Edit: I'm pretty sure Justin is kind of malicious. To my eternal shame, I used to watch Silvermania and he would do livestreams and laugh about how he was the one writing the AVGN episodes and how James and Mike didn't want that getting out like a year or two before it became news to the wider community.

Ryan might not have gone into it maliciously, but Justin at best seems like just a worker who seemingly doesn't give much of a shit.

 

[McSneaks]

key word being "sometimes". idk if thats dependant on the software or on the hardware side (DVD-R drive). but i tried doing that with 2 clean DVD's, and when it got to the part that skips, it sounded like the dvd was having an internal fight with the disc drive for like a few minutes till the program said "fuck this!" and spat the disc out.

There's multiple reasons like your laser is failing, the disc is fucked where it needs to be read (which can prevent it from playing but you can sometimes still rip it), deformities

But also they literally just melt and die over time and has nothing to do with being clean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot in 20-30 year hoarders are gonna be mad AF when they realize digital really was the friends we made along the way

Wow, they really DID just want to see him suffer...

I'd be more open to digital if companies weren't trying to control that particular market in the first place. All you have to go is look at video games to see how that particular section is being mishandled.

Majority of old shows that become digital also seem to have heavy edits to them regarding """problematic""" things that once upon a time were ok. Most of those edits are deleted scenes that were once intact when they originally aired, but they could also be re-drawn scenes that look worse than how they were drawn before, re-translations, or even recolors (e.g. making black people purple/brown/blue/etc...)

Oh trust me digital is gay as shit, I have an entire room of worthless plastic blurays. The problem is literally no one planned for disc rot (like gameboy shit with retard batteries) and the eventuality is even if you take great care, a massive amount of your dvds may literally just self destruct. Some of the early blurays were made fucked too and have already started doing it. Digital decay is kinda sorta a thing but less relevant. So just from a purely logical standpoint (not even taking into account space, plastic, whatever) it's stupid and pointless to hoard that shit. Still gonna do it tho

The digital you're talking about is shit you have to rely on moneygrubbing moralfags to give you (eg streaming services). Those are definitely 100% shit for every reason you mentioned. Even Spotify randomly removes tracks from various albums out of nowhere (one album I listen to has a song about robbing chinese people because they don't use banks and spotify took it off sometime after the pandemic because of an increase in "anti-asian hate" t LUL). Or GTA4 wiping out tracks when they lose copyright. Or Netflix taking the suicide scene out of a show about suicide lol. Fuck all that. I have a 100TB NAS server to hoard shit that all came from discs so no one can ever steal content from my content I own..



To keep this on topic this reminds me of the video Bimmy made when he wanted to digitize his stuff. He made an entire flowchart of how to move things between drives, and hooked up his 15VCRs to record half of one tape onto a camcorder while a mic takes the audio and sends it to a dvdplayer recording on his Mac. It took him like 3 years and need a billion drives and tags and a map was some of the most retarded shit you could see. I hope someone remembers this and can find it, it was almost as bad as his tying tripods to the roof

His IMDB is ... interesting. This must be more of a documentary. Nice spelling.

He's been writing since at least 2002 BEFORE he got famous. The ego on that man.
Well, that's not quite right, after we got autism confirmed I would say that is some kind of childish delusion on his part. I mean, he interviewed himself as a intro for his little home movies.
The little samples we have seen are very interesting, but I hope someone uploads it in full.
Also, there's supposedly a audible version coming soon, narrated by Rolfe himself. Wonder if he's going to notice all the typos.

Yeah, this shouldn't be a surprise. he started writing an autobiography at like 18, because he wanted to have an autobiography. It's like a bucket list thing, doesn't matter that he didn't have anything to write about.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

I will say it really sucks that it seems in the autobiography that James never even discussed video games or the Nerd when that was the shit that made him famous.

 

[McSneaks]

This might be the most egregious shit I've seen so far in the book (other than maybe the part where he said he couldn't believe he had to work a job, because he was a filmmaker....or when he was in a group project and someone else was directing and he was surprised and confused they wouldn't take all his "tips", not knowing he had already made 60 films)

"that was how it worked on real films. Not mine."

Gee whiz Bimmy it's almost like you missed the most important part of the employee process on a job, like I don't know paying them? At least that really illuminates just how embarrassed and failure he considers his movie if he blatantly referred to it as not a "real film" when "my sister and her friend talk for 5 minutes then I subtitle it" is counted and in his official filmography.

This jew literally got his fans to crowdfund and pay for him to make a movie, then got them to work for free actually making it, then got them to pay to watch a trailer, THEN GOT THEM TO BUY THE MOVIE HOLY FUCK BRUH

Nigga has the absolute gal to say that unpaid volunteers didn't spend enough free time and work on a project they also probably paid for when he doesn't even have enough time to spend 1 hour total once a month on his "job" to watch a movie lmao

Don't forget that his Jew wife April bragged about part of that crowd funded money was used to buy their $500,000 house

I'm honestly questioning if "a part" doesn't mean "all of it". It was always known he did that, but now through the book and interviews the massive amount of completely free work he got done seems to be constantly going up and up.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the majority of it literally just went to him since he had to do so much it was his salary for doing it. 80 volunteers rotating VFX duty, the vast majority of the cast were volunteer fans, he didn't pay for travel or getting to the sets, he didn't have an editor, the shots with the gay robot were one and done smashing shit. And the money he actually used on it didn't actually go towards the movie, it went to his retard "hollywood da m0vie star" dream of dumbass location renting in LA (for a movie set in New Mexico...), permits, and all that other shit he didn't know was a thing until CALI-FOR-NIA.

I mean the entire nerd set and half the actual work on his house was done by Kyle and his construction company for absolutely free, never paid for any of the shit they did (and he took the revenue for their independent videos foR dUh ExPoSuRe).

From an old 4chan post where someone claims to be a relative and describes it. You can choose to believe it as there is no proof other than that, but seeing how James was described back then and what we have recently learned about him, I believe everything which is written in that post.
