Meh. Feels like James lost his smile 2 or 3 years ago.

Meh. Feels like James lost his smile 2 or 3 years ago. I was thinking the same thing. he's had a few decent episodes sicne then... but I wonder if the rather lukewarm reaction to the AVGN movie didn't at least rub him a little the wrong way... not to mention that he's been doing this for like 16 years of mostly the same stuff... (with better writing and equipment obviously) but still... And well he's undoubtedly played all of the real retro bad games he wanted to already... I can't imagine many people out there that was waiting for him to review Countdown Vampires. also TIME KILLERS Is awesome <_< |

Something that surprised me when I found it out recently: that James & Mike knew each only from college upwards and that Mike & Bootsy were actually friends since childhood. Really makes me wonder how s***ty Mike behaved behind the scenes to cause a childhood friendship to be destroyed. |

Just because you're friends with someone when you're 7 doesn't mean you're going to be friends with them when you're in your 30's. |

(Language and general Nerd feces humor warning) I like James' AVGN videos, but man... the "Nerd destroys the game at the end" thing is really, really tired and old... and lame. |

Even before I found about the Bootsy situation. I dunno. |

With Nerd, it seems really clear Rolfe is long since tired of it but knows it's his bread&butter so he'll throw one out there every now and again while doing stuff he's actually interested in. |

Meh. Feels like James lost his smile 2 or 3 years ago. Definitely. Anything he does that is music or horror films, he seems into it and it's fun to watch. Anything to do with the "Nerd" character feels forced and phoned-in as hell. It's past time for the character to call it a day, but I don't see that happening remotely soon. It's pretty much in the 'Game Grumps' category of something that used to be funny, got really big, and is nothing but a shell of its former self. Not to make this a Game Grumps thing, but I watched a new episode of that out of curiosity and it's about as funny as a Saint Jude's commercial. |

In his defense, a handful of the current Avgn episodes were decent. I actually like the crash test dummy one.
He's seem to have become Jim Ross. When he's phoning it in, he's terrible. When he's in the zone, he's awesome.

I think him moving towards the Playstation/X Box eras is also hurting him (I know he did Independence Day for the PS1 back in the day, but that was more of a one-off), as those games, though having bad gameplay, also are much more storyline-heavy (most old school games did have storylines too, but most players didnt care much about them, they just wanted to beat the game).
