The actual legacy story's been told by way of Mike Matei interviews over the years. There are a few floating around where Pat the NES Punk interviewed him you can look up. Basically the rundown IIRC goes like:
  • they met in college
  • they became friends when James was drunk off his ass and Mike took care of him
  • they bonded because Mike was always into retro games, and James, while not passionate, still enjoys them enough
  • James made the first AVGN on his own as just one of his countless random films, Mike loved it, and kept pushing him to make more, despite James being reluctant
  • Mike had the idea to put them online for the world to see, and IIRC also came up with the "jamesnintendonerd" channel name
  • Mike mentioned buying garbage bags full of NES games when they had them on clearance at Funcoland in the early 2000s, which is where most of the early episodes' collection came from
So the whole backstory of the AVGN is more or less, Mike just told him what to do and he ended up a millionaire. Of course, James would rather live in his fantasy that he's a self-made world famous filmmaker among the likes of Spielberg, so he'll never admit that he'd be nothing without Mike, but that doesn't seem to bother Mike, so whatever

So what youre saying is that Mike "10 inches" Matei is a real bro despite his autism?

Not the worst video. Nice that he went in on how weird the Crazy Castle series is. Again. Nice to see Mike too.

I swore I was going to stop watching AVGN entirely not unless the episode(s) in question were highlighted as insane shit shows. But this one I will watch and if it's still bad or mediocre then I will stop for good.

Edit: okay, this one surprised me. It's actually pretty good. Not top tier or anything but it's fine. And it actually made me laugh out loud twice. 7/10 episode.

Glad you don't follow AVGN that closely. Only watching him for years, reading his book, watching current videos, and ranking the quality of his episodes.

Good thing you aren't like us obsessed fuckers. Someone might think you were the autistic one.

I watch his videos on YouTube, and have seen the excerpts from his book that others have posted on here, and commented about it. If you think that's on the same level of the people on here sperging over pReddit and 4chan drama, or obsessively analyzing the latest Cinemassacre video as if its the Zapruder film, then that's on you. 🙄🙄🙄

Thanks for admitting that you also follow AVGN on Reddit and 4chan.

I like Mike and I'm tired of pretending I don't.

Me too, he was the secret brains behind all the golden age of AVGN, and his inspector Gadget video has become an anti -comedy at this point. Can’t hate the guy for having some actual talent even if he had to channel it through James to get it out.

Video was pretty shit, it would have been better just doing a five minute video about Crazy Castle series than waste 15 minutes on non-offensive Garfield games.

The video seemed really forced, more so than usual. It seemed really obvious he wasn't actually playing the games and his anger seemed extra phony. The only part that actually seemed kind of genuine, like almost felt like a real avgn video, was when Mike showed up.

His videos just kind of make me a bit sad these days. I really don't get why he even bothers to make them. He very obviously doesn't seem to enjoy it.
