Why did he stop making movies?
I'd tell you if I had the time.
>>216950174When does /tv/ think he jumped the shark? I think it was around 2017 when Kyle left
>>216950328unironically when he started delegating the important stuff. having screenwave do the heavy work for him was the kill shot, but he'd been paving that way for a while
>>216950174>Why did he stop making movies?After 20 years of reviewing 1st and 2nd gen games, there's literally no new content he can bank on to make enough revenue to do another indy movie.
He invented movies
because he only had one idea, and he made it 5+ times already.>a household object becomes possessed and starts talking, it flies around and chases the protagonist (usually James) around the house or local woods.
>>216950328When he stopped making regular episodes to work on the AVGN movie. He never came back from that.
>>216950174
>>216950174The legacy of the Six Snix Flix will live on forever
>>216950174He made like 200 of them. I can't think of another director who did that other than DW Griffith. He deserves to take a break. Do you want him to suffer?
>>216953153yea
>>216950174It's really hard to top the AVGN movie.
>>216950174Why did he stop growing hair?
>>216953213not enough time.
The fact he blew a chance to direct a segment of V/H/S to release that pile of shit when his fanbase would've definitely accepted a delay is just insane. The only person with more free opportunities to prove himself was Doug, who got 3 movies and a TV show to prove he had the chops to make a real film/show and he somehow blew all 4 of them.
>>216950174Um... take a wild guess.
>>216950174So why didnt he review alien romulus or alien earth?
>>216950174You should ask permission from Mike Matei to post anything related to avgn

>>216956878Why do you feel that the AVGN owes you a full head of hair?If he doesn't care why should you?
>>216950174His wife admitted on Facebook to grafting monies from the film to build her dream house.
>>216956971And one time while I was being very normal and talking to James at a convention I was told to move along for no reason.
>>216956981Told to move along by James? lol>So then I-->MOVE ALONGI mean, know he seems a little autistic, but
>>216956995>>216956981I would legit punch someone in the face for telling me this
>>216957038It's just such poor manners.
>>216956981*turns on spotlight in cop interrogation room*So who told you to move along? What were you talking about?
>>216957083I just wanted to tell him about my ideas for a crossover with Linkara he could do.
>>216957106And he told you "move along"? Did he laugh?
>>216957106>crossover with Linkaramove along
The truther stuff was funny when it was anti-Mike and anti-Screenwave. Now they suck off Mike and beg for Screenwave to come back so they can have more content to discuss instead of the same tired memes from 5+ years ago.
>>216957125It's like I'm right back there. I can still feel the sting in my shoulders from my backpack that was too heavy for the day.
>>216957144>can still feel the sting in my shoulders from my backpack that was too heavy for the day..C....Cobes?
>>216957159TWU
>>216950174What are you talking about? He has 1,915 movies on his channel and releasing new ones every month
>>216957128Sperging out so hard about Mike that all it does is reveal how important he was to the AVGN being as successful as it was is the only funny thing they've ever done and it was completely unintentional.
>>216957128I'm out of the loop. Did James cut contact with Screenwave or something?
>>216957230Legacy sequel when?
I still can't believe this is real
>>216957269Mike leaning into the memes has been great. The impotent sweaty tears from trooner scum just makes it all the better.
Anyone remember this?
>>216957339That guy (think his name is Ryan)( trooned out?LOL
>>216957339It was a great show. The numbers for it were pretty good considering everything, I don't know why they thought they would do way better.
i dont really get truthers. they complain about low effort jokes and videos from cinemassacre but all truthers do is repeat low effort jokes every day without james even paying attention to it. at least james gets paid to do it and is well respected for it with lots of views still
>>216957386It's just losers salty about a guy with legitimate problems brutally lifemogging them.
>>216957339If you're going to be a tranny cool, stay the fuck away from me. But could it kill you to at least try in your appearance? Looks like a faggot in a wig oh wait
>>216957386It was cute at first but it's gotten pretty depressing. It's like they think of James as a personal friend of theirs that owes them something.
>>216957418It was just a little midlife crisis fashion episode, not a fullblown psychotic break
>>216957339Was this the last time Ryan ever appeared in a video? Shit this was already over 3 years ago, I wonder what he looks like now
>>216957430We all know what they think he owes them.
>>216957038Sure you would tough guy. Just like all the holes in your plaster wall.
>>216957702THE WALL HAD IT COMING!
>>216950174He won't tell us. We're the balls on the dick.
>>216953373>and he somehow blew all 4 of them.what do you mean somehow? doug is a retard. his only qualifications are cleaning toilets and screaming at a camera. he doesn't possess one competent brain cell though it's still impressive he tricked people into giving him 100k
>>216957242Slobwave is still there, they just took more of a behind the scenes role because they were hated. Also some members left entirely.
>>216957867I just want to know how everybody they put on screen was so fat. Like humiliatingly fat
>>216957339>another lazy, depressed, nerdy whiteboi thinking trooning out will cure his depression
>based joe still going strong
>>216956645Polybius was fun too, 13 dead man drive or however the fuck it is spelled fucking sucked though.
>>216956878Or he could have spent it on his family because he is married with priorities.James is not an A list actor, he’s a 45 year old man that screams about 35 year old games.
>>216957891>haven't checked joe in like a decade>he went from pissed pablo to gordo gabriel
>>216956971Good. If you give money to e celebrities you should get ripped off.
Joe used Spoony's BETRAYAL moment as fuel. Drive. Ambition. Energy to do the best he could to secure his fame and fortune.Others.... did not handle the betrayal quite so well.
>>216950328Some say he lost it at ROB the robot 100th episode but i think the real beginning of the fall was with AVGN movie
>>216950174dunno jameswhy did you stop making movies?
>>216956401Mike learning James opinions on jews and black people
>>216957952Joe and maybe Doug himself might actually be the only survivors of TGWTG
>>216958035Brad Jones is still going. Todd in the Shadows is still going and is more popular than ever.
>>216958046Todd is way more interesting and informative than AVGN. Funnier too. The Taylor Swift 10 year arc was kino.He seems to be in midlife crisis mode>am I really going to talk about pop music the rest of my life?
>>216957952You know you suck when you were an early adopter of Twitch, and you still failed to build an audience.
>>216950174>Why did he stop making movies?Because he already achieved perfection with AVGN: The Movie.
>>216950174He's now a novel autheur
>>216957952Is this that one dude that went on an angry rant against Spoony because his autistic yelling made Notch cancel an interview?
>>216958268And an acclaimed musician.
>>216958281Yes, LordKat. Possibly the least-effort tranny in existence. Jim Sterling looks like fucking Carmen Electra at her prime compared to this dude.
>>216958309Hahaha what a fucking faggot. I love his rant against Spoony because he starts out trying to seem like he's taking the higher road then just resorts to calling spoony a cowardly bitch and threatening physical violence against him. I'm sure trooning out will finally make him relevant and popular.
>>216958268He's a novel, music and film curator.
>>216957952>>216958035>almost all pre-internet nerds: become successful by dedicating their autism to some niche field, level out and get a wife and kids>almost all post-internet nerds: become terminally online, troon out and spend your whole life throwing bitch fits about irrelevant nonsense online
>>216958268A bard of the arts. A renaissance man. A scholar.
>all these random 00's-era reviewers names I vaguely recallChrist I'm glad I decided at some point to move on from that shit
>>216958413Trannies or Nazis. It’s th personality template download.
>>216957952>In 2023, Felicia came out as a transgender woman. Felicia rebranded under the new channel name of Felicia By Nature and most of her content has shifted to atheism and debunking religion.OOF
>>216958046>Brad JonesHad few fag moments in his career, but overall he's fine. One of the few reviewers whose jokes got actually better over the years. As far as these guys go, he's "high quality", I'd say. Which doesn't say much, but I actually like him reviewing cult / obscure crap no one else does.
>>216958498>atheism and debunking religionWHAT FUCKING DECADE IS THIS?!
>>216958586Oh dude it's even worse look at his channel >less than 500 subscribers >every thumbnail and his account portrait is ai slopI think we have a contender for the worst ending for an ex-Channel Awesome member.
>>216950174His daughters take up all of his time
>>216958607No one can top JewWario, though. And what about that guy who dated JesuOtaku and was forced to become "gay" after she became his boss and transitioned? I remember she basically took his house. Did he an hero later?Not sure what Film Brain is doing lately. For some time he seemed to be the secret top lolcow that somehow flew under everyone's radar. If he's still operational, then LordKat, Linkara and Film Brain must be at the top 3 of that competition.
>>216957128Truthers the worst posters on /tv/ by far
and see futures in balls
>>216958719FUCK I forgot all about JewWario, you're right he's the king of CA failures sitting on eternally on his throne. This isn't me defending Linkara because he is an autistic insufferable weirdo but he seems to have his own niche and sure he'll never be more popular but he does his own thing in his own bubble
>>216950328When he ran out of games from his childhood he actually hated and had to pretend to hate games released after his time. That's when it felt forced and fake, the best AVGN episodes is when he's passionate, whether it's because he hated the games that ruined his childhood (Ghostbusters trilogy, TMNT, Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout), reviewing an old crappy system (Virtual Boy, CD-i trilogy, Double Vision) or actually interested in the subject (Nintendo Power, Swordquest, Game Boy Accessories). But the best are the episodes that are cozy, not tryhard and have INSANE replay value (Dark Castle, Little Red Hood, Pong Consoles, Action 52, Atari Sports, LJN Video Art)
It's one of those "those who can't do teach" things.
What did we think of the Xmas episode?
>>216959421Obviously. But I'd argue it's not so hard to just stay in character for 15-20 minutes per month (or whatever frequency he'd release a video with). Whether you like Doug or not, you can't deny he's doing OK-ish still (as long as the fat bitch and the housenigger are not in the episode). It's not the OG NC, but he still has passion for this, in a lovable idiot way. He's aware of the cringe, but decided to embrace it instead of pretending he's anything else. And we all know he's not exactly a fucking genius. Just an autist who had his fair share of bitchlaps from reality. And, surprisingly enough, a pretty fucking impressive work ethic.
>>216957386>>216957128truther fags have one fucking joke>guys no time XDDDthey've been harping on about it for over 5 years at this point
James has never recovered from the making of the first movie. He burnt out so bad that he will never try it again. The entire process from screenplay to production took 6 years of his life. In the end, his wife had to persuade him to release the movie because the post production and editing was taking over his life. I unironically believe he has developed a form of PTSD. That's how traumatic it was for him.
>>216950328Sometimes it can be interesting. I liked the one that was a continuous shot in a dungeon set although even that one is getting old now.
>>216960686I read his book and he described it as a total nightmare. Movie making is very difficult but a lot of their issues were self-inflicted like him and Kevin Finn fucking up the accounts so they got taxed more, making a big, special effects laden action adventure as his debut feature and deciding to film in California which is not only really expensive but him and his wife had to uproot and live there for a year.
James last kino movie: https://youtu.be/ngm6ST0HL6U
>>216953373James just wants to be a stay at home dad making little videos in his garage. I'd say taking care of two kids, while having his show be his full time job saps any extra creative energy out of him to even think of doing a movie.If only his wife could send him off and take care of things.
>>216950174What are you talking about? He made a movie 2 weeks ago.
>>216959421i think the only good avgn episodes are the ones where he's not really actually talking about a game. i think my fave is atari 5200. he was very good at showcasing the absurdity of hardware. when he's actually reviewing games, it's kind of weird. he sort of sucks at games and his problems with the game comes down to that or he doesn't really understand a mechanic or ends up nitpicking some random detail, a lot of the games he says are dog shit are actually just fine if you play them
>>216957883You forgot being autistic. Autism and trooning out has a very, VERY obvious correlation. Every lonely male autist eventually becomes a fat princess Margaret for some reason. It's weird phenomenon.
>>216961344It's literally just AGP, which was always somewhat popular, whether one agrees or not. But now you have all the Slaaneshi-adjacent, telling you it's not only normal, but you should go ten steps further and don't care what other people think.
>>216957248I kinda wish he would turn that into a full movie, it's his best idea by far and it would be relativly easy to carry 80 minutes. You could either do a pretty simple story of a hero's call to action through a new employee having to replce the old one, or have one night of pure craziness like Dead Alive
>>216956946Fun fact: in the original script James was supposed to sign her boobs but his wife found out and threw a fit so they changed it the day of shooting.
>>216957454Good grief that entire video was a fucking cringe fest.>James is the only person on the airplane wearing a cuck mask months after all the covid restrictions ended>grabs two twigs off a random tree to use as walking sticks>doesn't think to bring boots and instead goes hiking in worn out New Balance sneakers>gives up and starts crying about his kids>legitimately believes he'll meet Sylvester Stallone while he was there>the entire video he calls it a "mowdin" instead of "mountain" and nobody corrects him
Was he right?
>>216961772You forgot.>While he cries he wants to go back because he will die otherwise, some overweight, middle-aged woman climbs on the mountain in the background.A fucking real-life Naded Gun joke captured for everyone to see.
>>216956946This is battlefield earth level quality
>>216950328The first moment I remember thinking he was losing it was the Rambo review, right at the end the nerd had like a seizure that felt super forced to me.He's had plenty of good episodes after that one though, but decreasing in quality over time.
>>216957891HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT!
>>216956418Watch it
>>216958437>tfw all I ever watched was avgn and rlmeverything else always felt like cheap knock offs
He’s autistic as fuck an manages it by sticking to rigorous scheduling so he doesn’t tard out an hyperfixate on how many pennies he can swallow.Let the lil nigga have a private life.
>>216961772He went on a summit tour with a bunch of tourists. That’s basically the /out/ version of a kindergarden field trip.
>>216962537Ok, he didn't save Christmas, but he's definitely showing up for New Years, right guys?
how is this offtopic trash still up after 15 hours?
Are they finally embracing the memes?
>>216963124Bullying truthers for their faggy obsession with a literal retard for not being their IRL bestie despite having watched all his videos is our Abatap given right as fa/tv/irgins.
>>216962996bros..... it's this THE year??
>>216964306Doubtful. He's orange man bad posting and sad posting again. The Spoony Experiment is delayed until at least 203X.
>>216964426Whats the endgame of spoony?
>>216962996Damn, I remember posting Year of the Spoony memes back in 2018. I feel really bad for him. He had the most potential out of all the tgwtg crew. I still rewatch the Ultima Retrospective and the Countermonkey videos from time to time. I wish him the best.
>>216960708That one is pretty good.
>>216964490Living in Miles spare room until he dies.
