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.

You had to mention that cursed game, didn't you? I'd be curious to see the video

Ask and ye shall receive.

EDIT: He edited the video apparently. I rewatched and there's a couple of obvious cuts where the sponsorship used to be. Thank god I downloaded the original but where can I reup it at?

You can try to attach the file and post it. But there's a limit to how large the file can be. Otherwise you'd have to throw it on a file hosting service or YT or YT clone.

It's just weird to see a guy who doesn't play the game at all shill it. I can only imagine that Net-Ease is aggressively expanding their market. I would just find it incredibly hilarious if DBD shilling became the next Raid: Shadow AIDS level of shilling.

I think this is the third subforum/board where I’ve seen this thread.

Might wanna just download it because I don't know if Mr Nightmare is the type that takes down reups, but I've heard he sometimes does. Another infamous thing that happened with him was early in his career, a video involving Bigfoot sightings... around the fifth time he had to mention "Bigfoot Experts" he just breaks out laughing and puts a note up on the screen about how bizarre it is that they keep turning up. Thankfully lots of people downloaded that one.

I'm shitposting but when you watch the vlogs or anything with him not being in character he does seem "off." Like he's a little slower to react to things and more awkward. Could it be a reaction to stress at home/Screenwave? Or maybe his mind is going like Bruce Willis in his final acting years? Who knows? But a change did happen.

James was always like this. I watched him on cinemadsacre before the screw attack Deal and even then He already made Interviews and Dokumentations about himself and even in those he seemed super slow and Stunted. You get how much self diagnosed bullshit is flying around the Web when you can't See the autism dripping of the literal sperg James Rolfe. Dude is up in his own head and doesn't really perceive the outside. He's the balls on the dick.

 

[Tsunade-sama]

If you watch any interview with James he always comes off as slow and retarded. He wasn't put in special ed for no good reason.

 

[johnny dollars]

- AVGN movie was like a "multi-million movie" according to James' associates and they thought he wouldn't be able to pull it off,
- AVGN movie sequel would be animated if it was in the works,
- No plans to stop AVGN,

- James Rolfe has literally said that he views AVGN and Cinemassacre as a job. It's generally agreed upon (at least in the asshole subreddit) that the last episode he put any effort/love into was the Earthbound episode. Some don't mind the Majora's Mask episode though. AVGN will go on until it stops making money, and then James will probably just retire.

- Making the AVGN sequel an animated movie sounds like the worst fucking idea in the history of Cinemassacre. He's saying that because he's too lazy to make another movie, and doing voice-over work would take less effort than putting on a costume and acting.

James' cow status is like Bigfoot's existence. Can't really prove if he is, can't really prove if he isn't.

It used to be in Video Games too.

On that note, I asked pages back if the AVGN Adventures games were good and got mixed responses. Bought 'em on sale and generally liked them. Curious what the haters hate about them though?

I remember the first game being pretty good overall but I never played the sequel.

[munggola planet]

Then at some point, he started shilling sponsorships just like almost every full-time YouTuber

you do realize people like him need to make money right?

more like schrodinger's cat.

Its got basically the same gameplay, just more levels and there's also a Megaman X-like element where you can find parts of his "Super Nerd" gear (that autistic getup he wears in the Super Mario Bros 3 review) and each part you find gives him a new ability...like loafers you find in the tutorial that literally let you cling to walls like in Megaman X.

Basically, the games feel to me like Megaman meets Celeste with a dash of Contra. I think I have an advantage in that I'm playing the Switch versions, which are a remaster and add in things like the normal difficulty giving you unlimited lives (hence the Celeste comparison). I've heard before this the game was really frustrating.. that original mode is now considered the "hard" mode.

That said, there are changes they made for this version (Which I know about because of videos) that I wish there was some way to revert. For understandible reasons, they had to remove cameos from other Youtubers... the biggest affect of this is that in the sequel, you originally got to fight the Nostalgia Critic at several points. But he's been replaced with Fred Fucks.

But Fred (who was always the boss of the first one) is the biggest thing I wish I could revert. The first game was made before the Life of Black Tiger review, where he was played by Gilbert Gottfried... and the remaster rewrites his dialogue (and changes his sprite) to make him match the Gilbert Gottfried interpretation.

Which honestly, I would prefer if they hadn't done that. I would just rather there be multiple Fred Fucks who all behave slightly differently but all claim to be the AVGN's enemy. Really tho I just think the version introduced in the Life of Black Tiger review is a one-note joke who quickly becomes tiring. He's fine for one review, but he did not need to come back.

James and few others are what I call high tier cows. Cows yes but if they didn't have their internet fame attached to them they be good people more or less.


Compare that to people like Chris, Kevin gibes, dsp, Tommy tooter, really any cow that is a disgusting, lazy, egotistical,
entitled, sexually confused mess. Even if we had no clue who they were and no little to presence on the internet, they'd never be "good" people.

I love how everything he's ever taped is a "film".

AVGN movie? Film.
Home video footage of him playing Mario Bros at 8 years old? Also a film.

 

[Stygian Evil]

someone streamed (part of) the audiobook on youtube and is offering some commentary too (to avoid being striked)

this dude mentions something about memes being made because of the book, where can i find those?

 

[deeman]

James is the guy who never made a Patreon for years and years. He has no time for sponsorships until Screenwave convinced him to put them in.

Another thing is the publishing his book, i thought it was "general knowledge" that self publishing is a big thing in the world of books, but he was waiting well over a year (?) waiting for a big publishing company to love and publish his book for him, wich for us who has read some of it knows it wasn't going to happen.

It's stupid. He might as well call his shit "kino" in about two years.
