Sounds like a pretty cool idea for Monster Madness.
Also won't be sad to see Mike Matei go. It'd be nice if that led to Bootsy becoming involved again.

Well who was it that called James and Mike Mondays not coming back? If Monster Madness happens that sounds great.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Mike, but him leaving feels like a beginning of the end for the channel. The original crew are all gone except for James. ScreenWave was probably the worst thing to happen to the channel. That whole crew sucks.

This is like two lovers breaking up except the girl likes to draw gross racist cartoons and flash her giant penis online.

As shitty as Mike has been about a ton of things the fact that everything that made the channel good is gone... except James. The writing has been on the wall for awhile though, since screenwave was brought in everything changed. |

The writing has been on the wall for awhile though, since screenwave was brought in everything changed. I guess so, but I got lamblasted a bit in the last AVGN thread for crafting fantasies about James wanting to move on. It just felt to me the passion was gone from the AVGN stuff. Just like he was going through the motions as he works on his various other projects and focusing on his family. That's life, priorities change. Look at the Simpsons. It has arguably 10 or 11 great seasons and now an average episode can be the drizzling shits to okay. But arguably I'm not a fan here like some of the rest of us. I respect that James was the first to really take advantage of youtube and bring new interest in retro gaming, but I just never cared for the over the top shit jokes. |

There's no more Mike in general, I thought it was a bit shitty that Mike's been with him since day 1, they're supposed to be friends and he got 15 seconds. No montage hell not even a plug for his twitch channel, that's just kinda shitty. |

Mike has always annoyed the shit out of me. He may be a totally nice guy etc, but onscreen he's just abrasive.

Random ass observation: Did James get hair plugs? I remember as far back as when we was still making the AVGN movie, his hair was thinning out in the front, now it's looking pretty good edit: here's an example  |

I mean for a long time he only did non-AVGN videos with caps on his head (probably out of embarrassement over the receding hairline) so him doing this video without one was certainly a surprise. |

I'm surprised at how down some in this thread seem about the Screenwave era. I think he's done some of his absolute best stuff within the last couple years.
People really didn't like the Pepsiman, Resident Evil, Taito Legends episodes, etc.?

I think I'll wait before shouting doom and gloom for the production of the show. Mike wasn't exactly my favorite part of the channel.

I think 1 thing to actually take from this video is a question does get answered. Why does James have no time? Because James plays in a band..that's his new passion and AVGN is just the day job these days.
Probably explains that cool new nerd shirt that shows off his tat also.

I'm seeing a lot of Peter Pan Syndrome in James (he seems to want to stay a kid/teenager) and the older he gets the more unsettling it is... especially since he's a father.
