James is kinda like the Brian May of Internet Reviewers. He helped create the format of video game reviews on the internet, shed light on games that wouldn't normally get a review (because they suck), and most current Youtubers who base their content on video games are either directly or indirectly inspired by him. He's always been a major player, but has never ragged on anybody who has gained more success.... after all this time, he seems like he's just happy to be here.

A reliable and entertaining reviewer. Sure some videos are better than others but they are still interesting and entertaining.
Here’s to another 15 years in some form or another.

I think he's by far the best internet reviewer (like, light years past Nostalgia Critic and his ilk) and I think it's pretty tremendous he's not only maintained his fanbase for 15 years, but he's one of like a handful of internet content creators to go this long without either 1) doing something super problematic or 2) letting it destroy his life. Still always tune in to catch him. I think I got into him in summer 2007. Got the first three blu rays and the movie too. I did not expect the 'diarrhea sucked out of a dead skunk's ass' guy to end up being the most emotionally well-adjusted of this entire f***ing subculture but here we are. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAH!

My issue is over the past 2 years most of the AVGN vids feel like James' heart isnt in them. When he is talking movies he shows passion. When he is doing AVGN stuff that passion isn't there.

My ten year old son loves him so he’s bridging generations

I tend to like his reviews better without skits, mostly because I get grossed out easily and half of his sketch comedy is just shit jokes. I think my favorite older ones have to be the Coleco and Intellivision two parter, and the one where he spends a whole video failing to get an Atari 5200 to work. The Atari one is one of my favourites of his, it’s the one I would always rewatch along with his Castlevania videos.

I still don't think Castlevania II is a bad game.
