James, you are so doing this on purpose now. You know we know so here you are shoving you balding head right at our faces instead of facing the music and just shaving it off.

Its okay to accept you are not young anymore and that hair loss is natural. None can judge you for getting older. What we can judge is how you handle it.

AVGN truly is the Simpsons of the Internet

I legit thought this was a YTP when my eyes met it. Like, they just got a random image of The Nerd with a phone and the horse shit on the side to trick suckers that its a real thing when its a joke video or YTP.
But no, its real. And I hate it, AVGN with a fucking smartphone is cursed.
Even when The Nerd used "modern" tech, it was still portrayed as retro in the show, like with a commodore 64 or a brick phone. The few times we saw modern games in AVGN, he is usually extremely blown away by the graphics (or angered that he was born too fucking early). That was part of the charm of his own little world.

This just breaks that charm. Is he saying that there are literally no more bad retrogames that now he has to go to fucking garbage off the app store? My God...
 
I just don’t understand why he doesn’t hang up the nerd shirt and call it a day at this point. He clearly has enough money for an early retirement. His wife works and even if he doesn’t have fuck you money, getting a regular Joe 9-5 job shouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility. He clearly isn’t happy or having fun doing this anymore, most of the people watching are just watching to see the train wreck unfold at this point, all his former fans except a handful of sycophants have given up. His views are nowhere near what they once were so he can’t be making much money off them anymore. What’s the point?
 
To quote the nerd

The episode is legitimately cursed as much as the reviewed game is. If he wants to make a short Tiktok reviews for zoomers than he should do it rather than an episode that's designed to be cut up like a fucking cow.

I managed to make it few minutes in before I couldn't watch it anymore.

I mean...he seemed damn near suicidal at the prospect of working at Walmart based on his book. What other job could he get? What marketable skills does he actually have?

Do we know what work April does, again? I want to say she is a baker, but I think that might have just been some shitpost based on that awful cake she bought for him at the grocery store for his 200th episode I'm recalling.

I really don't believe they have the money that he could just retire, at least not comfortably.

Anyways, saw this and laughed

I don't get this. Didn't he work with video editing before, or still does full time?
Why do people just assume he's like DSP or Ralph and their only prospect is a walmart greeter job

He used to edit for firms making educational videos and workplace tutorials. I think he said editing weddings but that's a very common thing editors do when they're independent.

April is an art teacher.
 
It's dumb to suggest James quit AVGN. It's his moneymaker. He isn't like DSP where he doesn't have any skills but the AVGN has gotten stale. The worst Nostalgia Critic episode is at the very least watchable. Since the Horse game episode credits him for writing it so I'd assume it's a game his kids were playing and thought it be fun to do. With the McKids and Pespiman done, he could've easily made Burger King games but Mike is the one who is autistic about fast food. James may be the face of AVGN but Mike is the soul of it.
 
At least Shrek had a gimmick with the shitty Wicker Man reference, this is just James filming himself in vertical mode walking around the basement pretending to be amazed and making soy faces at a dead Vinesauce meme for 20 minutes.

Knowing how little the nerd room is these days, it's pretty hilarious he spends half the video walking in a tiny "L" corridor in a stuffed room.

This episode would be better if lasted 10 or 5 minutes, or if it was a small part on a "weird shovelwares" episode. People are bashing this ep as one of the worst but I think James did a decent job on showing how this game is weird in many forms. Yeah, the gimmick of the vertical camera and a lot of the jokes didn't land, but I saw way worse.
4/10.
