Thoughts on James Rolfe's Gnome Cave?
>>24743408Why do I feel as though this will get criticisms of the assholish variety?
>>24743419No review. I refuse.
>>24743408Waiting for this queen's review.
>>24743419Are you expecting seasoned readers to care ? Fucking fool.
There's no physical copy
>>24743419balls on the dick
>>24743408
I'd tell you, but it's almost 5:40.
It's over
>>24743421kek
>>24743440That's just those Reddit fags who have a sub devoted to hating everything he does
Link me to the pdf.
>but am was a skeleton
>>24743446Why do they hate Rolfe so much? He seems very milquetoast compared to other lolcows
>>24743457It's not really hate, he's just easy to meme.
>>24743457It’s Reddit. Almost every subreddit dedicated to a specific person or thing ultimately devolves to it being a vile den of hatred. It’s just how they are.
>>24743457
>>24743408RL Stine must be shaking in his boots as we speak.
>>24743457He's better known than most other lolcows and had a very sharp decline in quality.
>>24743457They will never forgive him for articulately expressing why he woudnt see Oguobunga Nutbusters 2, female edition.
>>24743472He ended up seeing the movie anyway after his wife made him.
>>24743408This is peak liberal xillennial writing
>>24743408I didn't know he was literate
>>24743480'member when James had hair?
>>24743457>James makes shitty movie, it's ok to hate him for a while>said period of hate births the first generation of obsessed hatewatchers>James' content becomes noticeably worse after a while, it's clear he's not into it anymore>life happens and most of the AVGN "old guard" and associates leave to do their own thing>hires some unfunny faggots to help him out with the script and footage and editing>hatewatchers create r/cinemassacretruth where they can freely mock James' baldness and bad reviews under a dozen layers of irony (they claim they are the last true fans of his so they have the ok to talk shit)>does some Q&As where he, maybe less than gracefully, complains about lack of time (he has a daughter now, and whatever duties come with fatherhood), how AVGN is what pays his bills and how some of his fans are assholes>hatewatcher redditors become lionized by this since it's "proof" that James became a cuck bald onions faggot who likes seeing his wife get blacked raw>in addition to the above, it's undeniable "proof" that James "betrayed them" by choosing his family over AVGNand the rest is history.
>>24743429Do you want him to suffer?
Will this spawn a wave of angry young adult authors?
>>24743502hopefully it will spawn a wave of truther suicides
>>24743457AVGN was the only eceleb role model around when most of these guys were growing up. Tons of them viewed him as a prophet who was destined to break into the film industry. Him being a normal guy with a kinda dead end legacy e-media career in his 40's is a betrayal of their expectations.
Bro made the main character's name Dante about a gnome amusement park ride
Too many uncs who know way too much about some nobody youtube nerd. Embarrassing.
>>24743514The Angry NINTENDO Nerd's first video appeared on the internet over 20 years ago, anon.
>>24743514>pretending like you're not balls deep in Millenniboomer e-celeb lore
Is he honestly retarded?
He really does want to back to the past doesn't he? Like on a fundamental psychological level he just seems to resent not being a kid anymore.
This e-celeb named James Rolfewhose hairline I carefully monitor,whose twitter feed I refresh every hour,whose videos I religiously watch,whose personal life I investigate with other people on the internet,whose physical appearance is very important to me and i talk about it a lot,of whom I have a large folder with pictures of his hairline and infographics about his wife, children, and personal life,whose relationships to other e-celebs I know by heart and in detail,who I think and talk about every day,is such a loser
>>24743523>he doesn't know
>>24743523Didn’t he tell a story about literally being a short bus kid? I think most people assumed the fuckballspoo thing was just the character but it’s just his actual level of criticism. The reviews he used to do of movies he /liked/ kind of exposed this as well. Godzilla is good because “woah awesome”.I wouldn’t make fun though since that tard has got an easy job he got rich from, has a wife and kid. Easily lapping all the “smart” people who sit around and call him names 15 years after he was relevant.
>>24743542>Didn’t he tell a story about literally being a short bus kid?Yup.
>>24743542Yeah, his monster madness videos were he talks about stuff he supposedly likes are still pretty superficial surface level takes too.>I wouldn’t make fun though since that tard has got an easy job he got rich from, has a wife and kidI admit this could way off but despite all that I don't know that I get the sense that he's actually happy. Like you can't really judge someone's off camera life from on camera I realize but I kind of get the sense that he's worn out. He seems tired. And I wonder if he regrets going in this direction vs trying to enter the actual industry. Or maybe he's kicking his feet up with a cold one and laughing with his family right now. I dunno. I'd hope he was. But I feel like a lot of these old guard creatives are kind of losing all their steam.
IT'S UPhttps://youtu.be/MppkODsNiLU
>>24743545He was about 16 when this happened, btw.
>>24743545>Don't tell the teachers were you're going>They get mad because for all they knew you could have been kidnapped or hurt>Somehow this their fault and I threw a tantrum and implodedGood christ.
>>24743457Their bitter losers still made that James "betrayed" them because Cinemassare isn't what it used to be. Like, I get it. James was hero to a lot people when they were younger, myself included and it's sad to see what his channel has become. But it's time to move on. It's not just James. The entire internet is dead now.
>>24743545It doesn't help his case when he writes at about a 5th grade level
>>24743457The movieThe slobsThe behind the scenes videoThe plagarismThe mowdin videoThe autobiography5:40Rex ViperHe's done more than any truther tranny could to damage his reputation.
>>24743408Spoil me the ending.
>>24743514There wasn't even YouTube or positive nerd culture wannabes when he started making his videos. He's a pioneer in what he does.
>>24743440>2.2>now 3.3We are so back.
>>24743572Nerd Culture existed before youtube. It was just on dedicated websites and forums without a centralized social network platform.
>>24743408>>24743537>>24743545>“Come to think of it, I think I remember hearing that some kid died once,” said Bruce.>“I don’t think that was related.” scoffed Cait. >“Well, they had no choice but to make a separate path. All because the dragon was too scary," explained Dante.>“Nothing here could be that scary,” shivered Adam.>“Too scary for you guys,” taunted Bruce.>“I’m not afraid,” declared Dante. “Let’s go.”This is a real excerpt from the book. It's like the only thing he knows about writing is his 2nd-grade teacher (before SPED) telling him to not use "said" when writing dialogue.
>>24743582>still not on libgenHow am I supposed to properly make fun of him?No I'm not shelling out 4 bucks.
>>24743577>Five starsOh come on now, the mans an inbred. I know fanboys gonna fanboy but at least try to tell a realistic delusion
>>24743588The top review is literally from some fag who did proofreading for James. Another is from someone who has only read the sample.
>>24743562Are there any Golden Age (2004-2007) youtubers still at it?
>>24743582Did he write this for his kid or something?
>>24743494I really wish this wasn’t the most accurate take on the situation, but this is exactly how humans choose to squander their time here.
>>24743545Meh I had roughly the same experience ar his age and im only two years younger than he is. Thankfully im going to college to get a BA in World History for a very specific reason.
Haters in shambles.
>>24743467>>24743582>>24743596You know what? Maybe becoming a children's book author would be a step in the right direction for James. He could tell stories without his bitch wife stepping all over him or the slobs getting in the way, and he naturally writes for a younger audience. I hope this works out for him.
>>24743408Looks like a FNAF ripoff
>>24743419>>24743408Hmmm... yes... Shallow AND pedantic
mogs him as a youtuber and as an author
>>24743613Yahtzee is irrelevant as a Youtuber and dollar store Terry Pratchett as an author.
>>24743613Is it any good? Always assumed it was ass.
>>24743615>>24743617ive read 4 of his novels they are fun, he's always done point and click adventure games with narrative stuff so he has some experience and has some interesting ideas.definitely slop but it's interesting/fun slop and he has only gotten better. If you like his sense of humor worth checking out at least.Without question they shit on avgn's garbage.
>>24743613Yahtzee's a cunt.
How does it compare to Lindsay Ellis' books?
>>24743625>female MCIt's shit.
GOON cave
>>24743625I haven't read either, but AVGN's book is better.
>>24743408His autobio was a disaster wasn't it? I like James and appreciate he wants to try new things, he's not hurting anybody
>>24743632It wasn't flattering. A lot of it is like his production videos were you read and it just makes you realize what a sped he is.
>>24743494>r/cinemassacretruthFucken lol. That sub looks like it's filled with kiwifags and their classic incessant whining.>buhbuhbuh how can he publish a novel and not me!
>>24743613>>24743615Consooming content creators like Yahtzee and Moviebob during peak-neuroplasticity really prevented me from just being able to enjoy things as a teen/young adult. Thankfully I've all but broken their hold over me, but I still find myself overly judgemental on video games and seriously critiquing slop from time to time.It's even worse because both are massive fags, especially Yahtzee who acts like he's willing to go against the grain but just follows his peers anyways (like during gamergate). A Bob is an actual deranged mad man who believes in his outlandish ideas.>>24743625I'll never forgive this whore for aborting Bob's baby, and making fun of Chinese people.
>>24743636>beta readers>editing softwareKek they fell for the meme and are bitter that AVGN is willing to just publish his work without making it a corporate spreadsheet job.
>>24743641At least Bob is*I just woke up.
>>24743408I keep reading this as Goon Cave
>>24743627Would you rather a femoid write a male MC? That's even worse.
>>24743408Looks like something I'd skip at Barnes and Noble. I'd get a quick laugh at the cover, but people read this shit?I mean to read the Russian classics greats, but my life is not that sad to fucking waste my lifespan's time reading gnome cave.
>>24743643What do "beta readers" even do that an editor can't?
>>24743641>aborting Bob's babyIf by "Bob" you mean moviebob, then that is a moral obligation.
>>24743408That tunnel looks like the gnomes are mining brown bricks from my crap. The most fun you can possibly have while reading a book is reading about gnomes mining brown bricks from my crap. I can't wait to buy this book to read about gnomes mining brown bricks from my crap and give it a 5 star reviews on book reviewing platforms. What is the book about?
>>24743461what a bunch of worthless faggots. as if I didn't need further convincing they are sheep far from the truth.If I were Jesus I would condemn them to Hell unless I was a reddit hippie nigger lover myself.
>>24743647It's better but generally it is also indeed shit.
>>24743632>His autobio was a disaster wasn't it?Naaaah. It's funny. It gave us the origin of Rex Viper.
>>24743636Anyone can autopublish shit these days. That's the beauty of it.>>24743654They do it for free :-)
>>24743514thank God I don't know who the fuck he is. I see him, but I got better things to do with my time than visit the wiki.>>24743572you defend this motherfucker?
>horror films>Horror reviews>gaming channel>game reviews>Now booksCan't james learn to read before writing ?I guess James thinks he's a jack of all trades but his gaming library and experience is shit compared to the avalanche of quality it provides. Boring shit from a tired schtick
>>24743446I mean yeah but there's no chance in Hell it's well-written
>>24743408is there a pdf or ebook going around?
>>24743419People will call it a shit-load-of-fuck.
>>24743549The thing is that the AVGN isn’t a legacy to be ashamed of. The man almost single-handedly shaped internet culture as we know it today. He could have done nothing but The Nerd, and that alone would have been enough to immortalise him.
>>24743688>The thing is that the AVGN isn’t a legacy to be ashamed of.>The man almost single-handedly shaped internet culture as we know it today.pick one
>>24743683Nope, still nothing. James' haters are so lame. Can't be arsed to share the thing online so we can all have a laugh.
Is it better than the puppet combo books?
>>24743664
>>24743636>98 pages longSurely not...
>>24743677> Can't james learn to read before writing ?
>>24743698damn I'm going to keep my money next time I see a homeless person.
>>24743408It's no Munkey Cheese.
>>24743566Other than the plagiarism, which wasn't his fault and he immediately took responsibility and fired the guy involved once it came to his attention, none of that shit affects you or is immoral in any way.This is like being mad at Harrison Ford for being in a commercial. Wow how DARE YOU peak creatively years ago! I'm so angry!! Grow up, he doesn't owe you... what, a more interesting autobiography? If he was at least doing gambling adverts or something then you could have a point, but he has legit done nothing wrong, outsourcing a lot of his productions so he can focus on other things is not immortal in any way. if you don't like it just don't watch it?
