You can tell he doesn't care about this as much by how he could barely muster a few fake punches at the game cartridge. If this was a few years back he would have destroyed the cartridge and then beat the shit out of Mike dressed as Hyde.

Knowing the kind of bad stuff other Youtubers have done (especially recently), if AVGN's biggest sin is being bald, then I'm ok with that.

If he lacks enthusiasm, I can see why. |

That was a great episode.
As shit as Dr Jeckyll looks, it is pretty innovative to have a secret ending and boss fight if you do the Hyde route like that. I imagine before the days of the internet, very few people figured that out.

He's had some issues, but really, it's more just been sometimes people thinking he has times he'll phone it in or association with dubious people. Really, though, I think part of why he's normal about this is he doesn't really look at what he does as being a youtuber. He's a film enthusiast who puts his shit on Youtube for people to watch and give him ad revenue for. He also has a family and Mike Matei and then Screenwave facilitated him being able to make stuff and be able to just go home and be a family man without it taking over his life. I do think he cares about his content, but not all of it is created equal. Like, he's 43 and he's often visiting stuff now he has less personal experience with or has talked about numerous times already, the energy isn't going to be the same as him being almost 20 years younger, talking about untapped material. |

Another part of it I think is that the schtick is beaten to death. He essentially started a genre that became oversaturated and cratered years ago. He's still head and shoulders above most of the people who followed for various reasons, but there ain't exactly room for the gimmick to grow, but a portion of the audience still expects it to be as fresh as the olden days. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. |

The only real way to beat Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is to use the very best cane poking skills that you have hidden deep within your core. Poke as much as you physically can, just poke away, keep poking until you don't think you can poke anymore, then keep poking until you've poked a hole in the fabric of the universe and then crawl through hole and you'll end up in the game Dr. Chaos. Then ,just beat that game like you normally would because you can shoot things with a gun instead of just poking them with a cane.
