They're the reason I found the farms. Jesus those people have no chill about James does. Same with Spoony subreddit.
From Lolcow content perspective I mean, we're in his thread yet people sometimes talking about other people like Spoony who have his own thread. James really slow down his content in 2022 so there is not much to discuss.
They're alright old school platformers, some fun moments and overall functional. Plus it's not about depression or have retarded amount of chaining moves.
James was never interesting enough for a lolcow status or even internet famous. He is inoffensive and at most can be blamed in lack of passion or not being good as he thinks he is, which is small potatoes. Most of the thread is about the idiots James joined with.
I actually like Celeste, but not enough to want to try out games like Super Meat Boy (Celeste works for me because of its mostly positive nature, while it seems like other superhard games are all about mocking the player... and also because I tend to agree with what speedrunner Punchy once said: "Its the hardest game that anyone can beat." IE its difficult but its not Kaizo or Getting Over It levels of retardation).
One thing I notice about James talk is.... and this is probably a "duh" statement--how much of the discourse is around AVGN specifically. I think the only time anyone discussed his other stuff was that one plagiarism scandal.
Beavis and Butthead Do America is a timeless classic. It's up there with the first SpongeBob movie and the first Aqua Teen movie as the best movies based off TV shows.
Better than the latest movie too.
They're very bland and generic games.
That's pathetic. Aren't YT Shorts the equivalent of TikTok videos?
Nigger, Spoony never got over Scarlet. That and Twitter addiction is what caused his downfall.
They are
YouTube's going full retard again and pushing the unholy hell out of shorts. You have to make them in order for your channel to get recommended right now. Even the most respectable channels I watch do them because of this.
Yeah pretty much. That's the work of Screenwave again, trying to keep up with the times like with the failed Cinemassacre Podcast and trying to make the secondary channel a Podcast clips channel.
Youtube is trying to get younger people to keep watching videos on the platform instead of Tiktok. The people running Youtube can't come up with anything new, they just copy other companies like Youtube Memberships=Patreon, Superchats=Twitch Bit Messages, Shorts=Tiktok Videos.
Yeah, some forgettable episodes here and there so i get it when it comes to Youtube-content, but don't forget THE. BOOK. havent had ethe time going through it as a whole via audiobook since James has such a boring voice, i wonder who would've been a better reader for it... a shame the "irate- AVGN" hatchett is since long buried, paying Bores to do a spoofy reading of it could've been something... still waiting for a perfect Hitler-but-in-english AI voice setting XD Imagine the possibilities!
Maybe instead of shorts, Youtube should've made pants.
To add to this, the book is what made it clear in a lot of people's minds that he was a certified autist, but never someone worth milking over like screenwave. The worst thing you can say about James right now is that his videos aren't close to being on par with his contemporaries and that he's gotten lazy due to never having any passion for AVGN like what we had long assumed.
I thought 2022 is an okay year for AVGN. Yes we get fewer episode compare to the years before that, but sometimes the less is better imo. Here are my grade for AVGN 2022 from my memory.
The Hudson Hawk video was actually not too bad, and honestly also fills another niche for me: "That movie/game I remember wanting to see as a kid but never getting to but always wondered what it was about and now James tells me so I don't have to spend money." Darkman was like that too.
They say, "OMG It's the guy from Rex Viper!!!"
Not even the other band members know that he's in Rex Viper.
