For the Patreon thing: crpgaddict has one where he gets maybe a hundred bucks, and he set it up only because his wife pestered him about wasting time writing about video games. It's literally a holiday fund for his wife and donating gets you nothing.

That is fucking insane. That's the first time I've heard about this. You'd think they'd be making decent money anyway with as many times as he mentioned he was out on the road for work.

I don't want to come off as an incel type but why are so many women like this? Why are having passions or hobbies such an unforgivable sin in the eyes of many?
 
Tony left Screenwave/Cinemassacre about 2 years ago to strike out on his own to do his Hack the Movies YT show FT.

IIRC, he talked about it on TCT sub when him and Justin were still interacting regularly there.

He must still have some sort of agreement with Ryan because his HtM show uses the old discarded Cinemassacre Rental Reviews set.

Tony's departure from Cinemassacre precedes Newt's firing and the Monster Madness plagiarism scandal, which occurred in 2021.
That's incorrect, Tony stopped editing for AVGN but he was still working for SW, he left a month ago (about a week before Kieran), he announced it at the end of his Raiders of The Lost Ark video, the set they're using is a replica of the old one
This should be interesting....


"Writing" scripts
I'm halfway through this, still no mention of Mike (or anyone else) helping with the writing, this is fucking crazy lol

It's possible that I misunderstood the distinction between Tony leaving AVGN vs Screenwave years ago.

Tony was very adamant with his TCT critics when he was still engaging with them directly that he had left AVGN.

I haven't actually watched AVGN or Hack the Movies for a year or two.

Of course, it's also fairly murky what exactly Screenwave "does" outside of AVGN.
 
He does mention that Kieran wrote "first drafts" for all scripts from 2017 through 2021 after sucking himself off for the first 38 minutes of the video. Bimmy then claims he's written everything since then on his own, credits Mike for "some of" the gameplay in the Kid Icarus episode, and states Mike will continue "helping" with footage going forward. Outside of that like 3 minutes, the rest of the script writing video is James getting high off of his own farts.
 
Hahahahahaha, he frames it like he does everything himself, from playing the games to writing the scripts. TheCinemassacreTruth is gonna be shredding this for months.
That's not entirely true. I watched the entire thing, and around the 38 minute mark he gives a thank you message to everyone who has helped him write scripts over the years. He even mentions how he had a main writer from 2017 - 2021. Some dude named Ciaran. Mike gets a shout out too, and James mentions how he still helps with scripts to this day. The last episode Mike having worked on being the Kid Icarus episode.

I think you guys are looking for drama where there really isn't any. James is only claiming that the last year of AVGN scripts were written entirely by him. He says that the last episode he had help writing was Greendog, which was... A year ago.

Read it yourself

His wife convinced him that he's been losing money just so he can feel good about himself. Also "She would really like to go to Greece someday."

He would mention sometimes about how he'd be playing some abandonware through the night and his wife would just patiently shrug, so I kinda understand him. Also he's a limousine liberal from Maine, so there's that.

He's not out on road for work anymore; he's an associate professor at some university now.

Then why the hell does he still need slobwave?

If he's now a 1 man show like he was years ago. Screenwave is irrelevant and unnecessary.
 
Sometimes I think you guys are a bit too cynical.
Call me an autist all you want, but that’s what I’ve observed from this thread specifically.
I agree, but it's only because we want James to do his best. None of us here hate James in any way, he's objectively been a huge success considering his impact on the review scene and his mistakes have been relatively minor all things considered but he has proven himself to be a huge boomer and has a really incompetent way of handling things. I think people do A-Log him over stupid shit like making a few unfunny AVGN episodes and 'oh he's BALD! jokes get old quickly. But at the end of the day James is the one making this happen, If he's really not up for making AVGN episodes he can just stop. Yet he's continuing to make the series when clearly he's run out of energy or ideas and seeing his quality deteriorate when he's to blame is just funny.

He's doing pretty well considering how out of touch with reality and autistic he's proven himself to be with his autobiography.
And he didn't even touch on any physical problems he may have, iirc. There's definitely something up with one of his legs and the Reddit makes fun of it all the time.
Definitely laughed when they made his leg into the loch ness monster in that one vid tho lol

Eh? this is news to me, I've never noticed anything particularly wrong with James legs? he honestly seemed pretty agile in the early vids considering how energy filled he was with his constant fury hopping about smashing shit up and heel kicking Bugs bunny to the face imao. What's wrong with them?

He's agile and in shape for sure, but one of his legs is fucky.
Can be most easily seen in this video:
And also how he positions his leg in the Cinemassacre podcast videos. It's twisted to a weird angle that I would think most people wouldn't find comfortable.
It might also be seen in the Climbing The Mountain video but I'm not sure. He has a tendency to drag the one leg quite a bit.
 
This should be interesting....


"Writing" scripts
He straight-up admitted that other people write the reviews during the plagiarism debacle. Even his fellow short bus riders can't be so retarded that they'll believe this. All he does is do the Nerd routine in videos and drill holes in desks. He doesn't even edit. That was Kieran. Or maybe he's back to editing now that the caveman's found a different cave.
