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.

If I had a choice between a fabulous real cake and apoo's kids, my only question is what color decorations on the cake.

If you could choose a game that's epic enough that would be perfect for the 200th, what would it be? I'm afraid he'll do something stupid like a pac man retrospective or a "did you know about doki doki panic" something or other.

EDIT: - What if that pathetic cake is a Three Stooges thing and james is going to smash it in april or justin's face and there's a real cake hiding or arriving soon.
FFS, I'm so depressed about this whole thing I'm reaching too much. [/autism]

Good ideas for the 200th episode:
- RCA Studio II
- PC-Engine
- Pokemon
- Epoch Cassette Vision and Super Cassette Vision
- Sega SG-1000

The most likely scenario: Tetris

Tetris, hmm. Read this about Tetris just today:
"Apart from being a fine game, Tetris is also a perfect mirror of the human condition. For a while the game is entertaining, and we seem to have mastered it and are having fun. Then, something goes wrong. A rash mistake, or an unfulfilled wish, and we're fighting to repair the damage, but we've been thrown off-balance, and the cancer is spreading. Blocks that were once orderly and harmonious are jumbled and filled with holes, and our cup is on the verge of running over. There's always a point at which we stop planning for the future, and realize that we don't have one - all we can do is cling to the present and concentrate, focus our minds on what it's like to be alive, to play the game, before it's all over. You were waiting for a four-by-one block that never came. Eventually we stare death in the face, and death will not spare us because we would warn the others to stay away and not play the game. Sometimes we resist to the bitter end, moving blocks left and right without thought or care, just to hang on, and sometimes we accept the inevitable and pull the blocks down to us, smiling inwardly at the great joke. The rest is silence. We admire the fox as it escapes from the hounds, but when the hunt is over we turn away, and go off and drink and be merry, and somewhere else someone or something is watching us as we watch the fox. But the fox knows it is being chased."
Now I'm even more depressed.

Episode 200 is him finally playing some Atari 5200 games.

It takes time to bake a cake, and also takes time to pay someone to decorate one. Why do you want James and April to have less time for their kids?

She got it at a Wegmans too. I didn't know they had Wegmans in New Jersey but that's a fancy super market chain. They have a massive buffet but since Covid they switched to almost entirely pre-packaged food. If I had to guess, I'd say she was there buying expensive as fuck pre-packaged dinner that just needs to be nuked in a microwave and thought "Oh yeah, the 200 episode thing. I'll get a cake."

 

[I Love Beef]

If James and Screenwave were smart, episode 200 could have the death of Mr. Rigs and Rex Viper in it and their official retirement from the Cinemassacre channel. That would get a lot of positive acclaim automatically. James and his friends could just change their band name to something else (or hell, carry on as Rex Viper) and work a lower profile.

If they actually cared enough to be a family they'd have family activity time and make that cake themselves.

Wake me up when the 200th episode shit hits the fan.

OH MY GOD SHE BOUGHT IT AT WEGMANS

I like Wegmans. Fuck you. The one I went to had fresh orange juice every day you could buy in little bottles or in pitchers.

Pressing X to doubt RCA Studio II. He did an overview of it during the Pong Consoles episode, where he basically said he has no other real place to talk about it. Same thing with the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx 16, which he talked about at the beginning of the Darkwing Duck episode, where he even mentioned that there's not a lot of crap in the library, given its lack of success in the west, thus less incentive for hackier game companies to shit out lousy games for it. Then again, he did do an entire 3DO video after having already given a rundown of it during his Plumbers Don't Wear Ties episode, so I guess anything's possible.

Since when has that stopped him during the Zombie years? He could still do an overview of the TurboGrafx. Focus on the handful of other bad games. The bizarre nature of the later Bonk games, especially Bonk 3, would make for decent content.

What if he does a retrospective on something a little bit more recent like the PlayStation 2? The console that helped kill Sega's involvement in the console market. It is over 20 years old. It is the best-selling console of all time, and lasted much longer than any previous console did. A milestone episode like the 200th would be a good fit.

 

[Super Dilator Duel 3D]

If we’re going the wishful thinking route, the 200th episode will be a love letter to fans of the series, filled with references and easter eggs and other fun little nods to his past videos while reviewing a variety of interesting, unique, and shitty games that appease the viewerbase in a way they’ve been wanting from James for a while now.

In reality? A 40 minute long terrible skit/le epic storyline about time travel or whatever with a 3 minute long Super Mario World review spliced in near the end.

I'd expect that from Scott the Woz, but not James. The second newest game James ever mentioned playing on the podcast was Super Monkey Ball, a 2001 Gamecube game.

Are we counting Sonic ‘06? He had an episode on it but it’s very likely he never actually ended up playing the game.

It's been confirmed that Screen Wave plays the games and captures the footage.

 

[Lone Star]

I kind of hope the 200th episode is another informative episode. James has basically covered all the major stinkers from the past, certainly any that would warrant taking up the Episode 200 slot. The informative, calm episodes are ironically my favorite episodes. Things like the Pong Consoles episode or the Odyssey one.

Yeah, but anything even remotely modern has Screenwave written all over it, and I doubt they have the aptitude to do a sweeping retrospective on a platform as broad as the PS2. Hell, even I wouldn't know where to start. The PS2 was an unstoppable juggernaut.

No time to cook

 

[cockaine]

Is there a date when 200 is even supposed to come out?
EDIT: Just found out it's going to be in three parts.

Crazy thought, but what if it's some bullshit like all 670+ games in the NA NES library, minus the ones he's already done?
