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.

I felt this episode was one of his better, straight to the point ones with a lot to talk about

I actually have Vol 1 on both XBox and PS2 because I have such nostalgia for Zoo Keeper.

Cool episode with lots of games to talk about and some funny stuff. Lick Jones indeed.

I kinda wish he would go back to his earlier look, i.e. non-horn-rimmed glasses and long-sleeved plain looking shirts. Especially the long-sleeves would help in covering up his tattoos which are kinda distracting in his nerd videos.
Also, while I don't have anything against sponsors, is ExpressVPN the only sponsor with an interest in him? If he actually thinks it is a good product, good, but I wouldn't mind seeing some different sponsors now and again.
That said, I think this was a good episode.

Honestly, straight reviews are an interesting twist on his old formula. He has been doing more themed episodes lately, which actually could be a good thing. He could have 3-4 games under a single theme and do straight reviews like this. Games that truly deserve it can get the classic Nerd treatment while actual good ones can get actual positive treatment.

Hate the ones that excuses to do long form videos with little to do with the game. Yhe episode with Gilbert Gottfried was a massive disappointment.

Did he not? I could have sworn there were Monster Madness episodes this year. Unless they were repeats, as some of his stuff has been.
My enjoyment of the newer Nerd videos depends on which game, really. I'm okay with skits and such, as long as it doesn't go too far (like, say, a certain other critic's feelings about Pink Floyd. Actually I still watch said critic still, depending on if I'm interested in the subject of the roasting)
Yet I've come to like most of his non-Nerd videos too. It would be like someone asking Michael J. Nelson to go back to his Mike Nelson persona in some kind of MST3K revival. I'd be okay with it, but if not, I always have Rifftrax now.

Him losing his shit over Lick Joe somehow felt extremely in character but also genuine to him as a person.

Speaking of these multi-game episodes, I wonder if we'll ever get the NEO-GEO episode. I still laugh at the one intro where he weighed the cartridges on a scale.

The only weird thing is the short moment he rags on Crazy Balloon since James actually liked that game when him and Mike did a J&MM on Atari hacks and played a hack of it for the Atari 2600.
I know that James is not the Nerd and vice versa but such a 180 degree of opinion seems odd.

He actually talked about that in one of the earlier James & Mike Mondays due to many people asking him about the weighing clip. Essentially, he only has very few Neo Geo games and none of them are really poopy and since the console is not anything noteworthy to talk about besides the big cartridges, it doesn't leave enough material for an episode. But he had interest if ever a poopy Neo Geo game came his way.

Also, now I know that at one point in Japan's history, they had vodka vending machines.

Might have been 2018.
