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.

ok episode about Mortal Kombat console ports

I saw the Sega CD version in the stack at the beginning of the video but James just brushed it off at the end as being pretty much the same as the Genesis version. I mean, that's largely true but the loading times on the Sega CD version are kind of a drag. Plus there's the legendary Noob Saibot code that, way back in 1993, I wasn't sure was even true or just an attempt to troll gaming magazines into printing false cheats.

Shame he didn't mention the ways you could supposedly get blood in SNES MK. One magazine ran an April Fool's saying you needed to tape a coin to the cart, the extra weight making a better connection and allowing an internal chip to work. In the pre-internet era, we believed that sort of stuff and people wrote in complaining it didn't work.

Peak Autism right here.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

Anytime someone says a kids game isnt a kids game but something else (typically a game for the family or anyone) I assume they're a man baby and possibly a kiddy diddler.

Justin fits that nicely.

Peak Autism right here.

Something about the awkward silence, Mike making his best impression of James being uninterested with the nodding and agreeing while he clearly doesn't give a fuck and the "look at me I'm so edgy XD" thing just completes this. Peak Cinemassacre autism indeed.

I only played New Leaf and despite being a grown adult I probably put in a 100 hours into that game, AC is fun in that it has a lot of simplistic content to collect and it's cool to see how events alter the world.

But I never gave a shit about decorating my own house and to take the time making your own Arby's is insanely autistic. This playthrough made me think Chris Chan.

I'm not saying anyone that plays kids games (or AC) is a man baby, I just find it super suspect when someone makes a big deal about how games that are clearly geared FOR kids try to make it seem the opposite. Being a Nintendo fan I see it a lot online lol

It's like trying to build a model of the Starship Enterprise on Minecraft.

And these people had possibly never had sex.

You don't have to say it because we're all thinking it.

 

[OfficerBagget]

Did you post Mike comics?

Edit: Yup.


The whole show has gone down hill and James just looks a bit dead inside these days

 

[Stab You in the Back]

James & Mike "race" Mario 3, but
1. The race is immediately cancelled because James can't figure out which button to press to start a level.
2. James resets the game because he misses the flute on Level 1-3.
3. James resets the game AGAIN because he misses the flute a second time on Level 1-3.
4. James says "I could be close to catching up with you" while he is in World 4 and Mike is in World 8.
5. Mike beats the game 30 minutes before James.

Did that project ever finish? I know nothing of Star Trek, or Minecraft, so I have no idea how feasible any of that is.

 

[KingofNothing]

It's videos like that which keep reminding me that James isn't actually that good at playing videogames. It's a shame I don't find Mike that entertaining or I'd check out more vids of him playing shit.

Yeah, but he used a level editor. He didn't lay that shit brick by brick, that's for crazy people or people with way too much time on their hands

I originally took all the decks from the Whitefire plans and layered them in Gimp. I then re-sized the plans to a 1 pixel = 1 meter scale." He then reduced each deck to a two-color bitmap exported as a layer, which he considers the most tedious part of the project. "After that, the level editor for Minecraft sucked up each layer and spit out what you saw. When I wandered around on the ship for the first time, I was so pleased it worked out so well.

 

[deeman]

Yeah the new J&MM really sucked. "It's not a race"... i mean, why bother then? They should've just been playing their own style and see who finished first, clearly James sucked the worst.

Oh god if only Bootsy were there, then it would've been a race with a crazy outburst from Mike, if he wasn't excluded/fired already, he would've been now if that were the case.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Yeah, this kinda sucked. I get maybe being a bit rusty at a game you haven't played for ages, but James just seemed to go full boomer in this. Made me wonder if he ever even played Mario 3 before with how much he was fucking up and how clueless he seemed about it. I don't give much of a shit about Mike, and he just seemed to kind of dominate this one. Agreed with @deeman Bootsy would have been a much better choice than James to play this.

 

[TrippinKahlua]

What is it about Mike that James has always given him special treatment since day one, at least in 2006?

I mean, the Mother Fucker was the one to play every freaking guest character. Bugs Bunny, Leatherface, The Cowardly Lion. He was even going to play Spider Man until they discovered he wouldnt fit in the costume.

Is Mike his only friend or something?

 

[Pinochet Was Right]

Cinemassacre itself, mainly Mike Matei, and especially since it got invaded by the fat fucks, is almost lolcow material by now.

James is in the background though, because he has NO TIME.

Looking at the alternative with Doug Walker and other internet personalities, it's better to keep your internet autism to as small as a group as possible (especially close friends).

Who is the leader of the Fat Fucks? Is it Ryan or Justin?

Because I am certain Ryan has been apart of Cinemassacre since before the movie.

 

[Pinochet Was Right]

Using TGWTG terms, I think Ryan is just the Michaud. Justin is more of the face of Screenwave.

Meanwhile James, after the movie came out, started his own failed-internet-filmmaker-wannabe-realitycheck phase just like the NC after demo reel. But he only has time to say mmmm yep in the rental borefests.

Goddamnit not even AVGN is watchable now.
