Spawn
Now the 2 Pat The NES Punk videos with the Nerd. They kind of pick up after the NWC episodes.

Can't be a AVGN thread without bringing up the Mike thing every freaking time. First reply no less.

On topic: video was cool, the friend playing the clown was weirdly convincing
AVGN has been pretty bad recently, but I thought this Spawn episode was pretty good. Haven't seen the Bayou Billy & The Punisher video yet, but the Combat one was the funniest Nerd related thing I've seen in a long time.
Friend. He is always in the Video Rental show
considering you probably still wouildnt care if he wasnt lets not do this performative concern trolling in every avgn thread ever
That's Justin Silverman of Silvermania, and a friend of James who's a regular on his video store show.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Mike's actions are deplorable and should not be supported. So long as James stands with him, I refuse to support him. The more attention on this the better. People should be aware that Mike has done some very bad things.Can't be a AVGN thread without bringing up the Mike thing every freaking time. First reply no less.

Let's not falsify things. I used to watch his videos regularly until the Mike stuff. I can't support it.considering you probably still wouildnt care if he wasnt lets not do this performative concern trolling in every avgn thread ever
I agree, I really disliked the latest actual avgn episode in one shot, it was so far off and just wasn't good.AVGN has been pretty bad recently, but I thought this Spawn episode was pretty good.

Edit: Oh, the Bayou Billy / The Punisher video isn't even new.
i edited my post, i was off base and i shouldnt have posted that. but i'd hardly hardly say he's a racist. jontron is a racist. mike made a dreadful comic 15 years agoAnd not everybody wants to support a guy who did outwardly racist things and hasn't expressed an ounce of regret or apology for it.
"Self gratulatory"? hahahaha
Enjoy supporting a racist.
no, this is so off base. yeah, he has diversified into other shows but you only need to watch The Immortal's behind the scenes video to see that James puts in an extreme amount of work and creative input and the entirety of the one shot was masterminded and pulled off by him and his crew. dont insult him or their crew with shit like this.I agree, I really disliked the latest actual avgn episode in one shot, it was so far off and just wasn't good.
I think it has to basically do to James just not wanting to put in much work or effort as he did before. If you watch enough videos you can often tell he is in that mind set and like the one episode that I forget what it was where mike and james talk about how mike had to urge james on to do more avgn after the first 1, 2 3 etc
Hm, just keep digging that hole...i edited my post, i was off base and i shouldnt have posted that. but i'd hardly hardly say he's a racist. jontron is a racist. mike made a dreadful comic 15 years ago
I'll remove it from mine as well, no need to not be civil :)i edited my post, i was off base and i shouldnt have posted that. but i'd hardly hardly say he's a racist. jontron is a racist. mike made a dreadful comic 15 years ago
considering how atypical and how difficult it must have been to film the last avgn episode, i wouldn't say it's a matter of less effort.I agree, I really disliked the latest actual avgn episode in one shot, it was so far off and just wasn't good.

and james gunn isnt a pedophile either. they did comedy that was dreadful in an era of extremely edgy comedy, not excusing that but it doesn't make them racists or pedophiles.
thank you for also editing your post.I'll remove it from mine as well, no need to not be civil :)
I agree Jontron is worse. All Mike really has to do is admit it was a bad decision and apologize and I'm basically over it. The comics are horrible and indefensible, but it's his non-apology after it came to light that really gets my goat. How hard is it to say "I was young, stupid, and have grown a lot. I never should have wrote those and I am deeply sorry for them."
I wouldn't mind a link to the apology if you have one, perhaps I missed it?thank you for also editing your post.
i don't disagree with you at all, but he HAS apologized. I didn't take that as insincere personally. but the implication that mike is equal to the regular stable of youtube alt right people i tend to see on era is pretty wrong to me, that's where I'm coming from. He is still obviously paid and part of cinemassacre but I don't know how much he works on Nerd videos anymore, I think Screenwave has filled the role of James' crew/writer team since 2017
No. He doesn't. He does more let's plays and sit and talk videos while others are doing the work. You understand that he edits and writes the avgn episodes which are fewer etc while Mike edits most everything else. James doesn't even know or choose what they play on Mondays. I think you are seeing the overall picture.no, this is so off base. yeah, he has diversified into other shows but you only need to watch The Immortal's behind the scenes video to see that James puts in an extreme amount of work and creative input and the entirety of the one shot was masterminded and pulled off by him and his crew. dont insult him or their crew with shit like this.
I respect him for trying something ambitious with making an episode being only 1 long take, but that is one of the worst episodes of AVGN.
I would imagine the years difference in content matters more than 1 video and again even that video shows his change in getting more help from others. I actually think a regular nerd video is more actual work for James. You are talking difficulty.considering how atypical and how difficult it must have been to film the last avgn episode, i wouldn't say it's a matter of less effort.
Relying on friends is what will bring it down more and more. James wouldn't be popular either if he was starting out today with what he's doing now imoThe Immortal was a bottom-tier episode, one of my least favorites for sure. I also really disliked the Trespasser one; it just felt off. Other than that I think he's been on a pretty good streak lately. It's clear he leans on the help of others nowadays, but if that's what he needs to keep AVGN going, so be it. I feel the quality is good enough to keep it going at least a few more years.
This is so true. I think he rushed it because of Monster MadnessI respect him for trying something ambitious with making an episode being only 1 long take, but that is one of the worst episodes of AVGN.
Both. Justin Silverman, he is a friend of James' but also a coworker from Screenwave.

But he's not starting out today. He was the one to popularize this entire genre and he just wants to keep it alive for his many fans. Preaching to the choir essentially. I fail to see how it's gonna bring it down further. I will say the glory days are over though, I'd say he hit his peak at around season 5, but I still watch everything he puts out, it's a comfort-food kind of thing for me.Relying on friends is what will bring it down more and more.

Legit surprises me how Metal Jesus Rocks still survives. I'm glad because he often has good guides for older systems, but his content is so homogeneous.The point was worse content.
His fans will get older and that's just another step of losing views and fans..
At least he isn't as bad ad metal jesus rocks and his no idea what to do
Rob the Robot as player 4 and being fucking useless was gold.
Oh and hey, I never knew there was a decent Spawn game on PS2.
I 100 percent believe he barely plays games. He mostly uses generic words to describe games and any depth that may be there he's obviously researched the devixe, game or developer. While that's common of course it just doesn't seem anything he is doing is for hobby. It honestly seems everything he's doing from collecting ganes, creating videos etc is a front just to earn money and exploit it as much as he can imoLegit surprises me how Metal Jesus Rocks still survives.

It's not great but enough to confirm I think that he's just really stupid that that he's a hateful horrible person.
