This may be my favorite episode in a good while...I prefer this style to most of the extreme cheese

The original format of monster madness stopped in 2015, I don't count the static image, unscripted discussion monster madness

The compilations the Nerd listed all looked interesting...too bad, 95% of them are not available for the PS4.

Wow he isn't even attempting to pretend like he gives a crap anymore. I get that AVGN is the one thing that gets lot of views on Cinemassacre's channel. But since Screenwave took over it hasn't been that good. Add in James not doing Monster Madness this year. Lots of discussion out there that he really doesn't give a shit anymore...screenwave writes and produces all the episodes, James comes in and does his character and leaves. He keeps doing it because he needs the money and that's about it. Also lots of people are tired of his "muh kids" act that he uses all the time. I saw one person say "James acts like working 8 hours a month is just to much to do because of his kids and wife, what about the rest of us that do 40 a week with all that?" The general consensus is when they dumped Bootsy and Kyle followed by bringing in the screenwave guys the entire channel went to shit and made no bones about not caring anymore.

Yep,hell a few videos back it was obvious James wasn't even playing the game. Pretty sure the save file was labeled Kieran.
He barely leaves the couch anymore,heard that is cause the nerd room is now a set and all they recreated is the couch area.
At one time I was working 48 hours a week and my then wife was working 44 and we had time for our son and to do stuff.
I'm betting once the AVGN movie kinda failed James wanted to end AVGN. But he knows nothing else he does on Cinemassacre makes money. Plus he has sold all his characters to Screenwave.

They rebuilt the nerd room as a set since James wife didn't want them shooting at the house...the entire movie reviews stuff is a set. James is basically an actor playing a character with no passion anymore. They do all the can to make him do the least..he doesn't play the games, doesn't do the script, he just does his lines. He stopped doing James and Mike Mondays.. I get that he has kids but his entire existence has turned into how he has no time..yet he doesn't seem to do anything..there was an episode of J&M Mondays where he tells Mike he has to be done at 5:40 to watch the kids. It kinda makes me wonder if he does what his wife tells him like she's in charge or it's an excuse to not do the stuff cause he's tired of it, I dunno. The last good episode is Earthbound... honestly the Megaman one felt like a fitting place to end it but here we are...

I wonder if he's still picking which games to do, him doing stuff from the PS2/XBOX era seems kind of odd and the games are way out of his league (it works better when he has crummy games that are bad due to their gameplay, story-based games mean he has to focus on the plot as well).

I doubt it, everything now seems controlled by the screenwave guys.

Basically before too long we'll get way too long sketches with lame humor? I mean more lame humor with all the shit jokes he makes. Yeah, it seems like he wants to be more of a director. I'd end AVGN if it were me, but I get it. It's his moneymaker. I imagine it has to be like an actor who feels like they're typecast. He most likely wants to expand and evolve, but can't because he's known for this one thing.

James & Mike Mondays will return in February BTW. The reason why no new episodes are currently uploaded on Monday is because they have done a hiatus on it.

Besides, James has to keep making videos until 2040 when he can review Phantom 2040

I was kind of hoping one these packs contained as least one of Taito train simulators. Those Japan only releases which you had to conduct Japanese commuter trains.
Just to see how he would react to it....

Not to sound like an ass or anything but James seems like the busiest man of all time that also doesn't really do much...he has nearly 3.5million subs so he's never going to stop doing AVGN but at this point it seems like his act is to do the least he can to still get the check.

I mean...the pandemic factored into it I’m sure?

I mean...the pandemic factored into it I’m sure? It was going on long before the pandemic...basically he started acting like he had no time when he was doing the AVGN movie, we then saw more stuff from people like Mike, Kyle, Bootsy etc....the movie got made, he still acts like he has no time he got rid of Kyle and Bootsy and replaced them with the screenwave crew who basically run his channel now..it's just odd. It's like your outside projects aren't there now yet you still act like you have no time...

It’s been 8 years straights of weekly new content for one specific show. They want a break. Even Editing an hour of gameplay into 15-20 minutes of interesting content takes time.

How did this thread turn into a thread about a man’s lack of passion?
God forbid a 15 year internet show isn’t the same as it was at beginning when he was a 25 year old.
A man, who up until last months, was producing a new video every Monday, Friday, and random stuff the other 5 days. He gonna get tired.

But James doesn't even edit AVGN anymore...the screenwave guys do all that...I doubt James is putting much into J&MM other than sitting there playing a game for an hour.

A man, who up until last months, was producing a new video every Monday, Friday, and random stuff the other 5 days. He gonna get tired. I don't fault him for not having passion. It's a bit like talking about the idea of a band selling out. When you're young, you're angry and hungry for an opportunity at a world that often feels like it doesn't listen to you. If you're lucky you find an audience and have a lot of success. You get rich and famous, you start a family, etc. Suddenly you don't have as much to be angry about and can enjoy your life a bit more. Everyone evolves and my perspective is just that James maybe wants to evolve beyond the nerd at some point to pursue other opportunities.
