>he uses save states or guides
big mike fan btw
>>12574890Mike the coke ghoul
>buy an ad
Using save states is based because it makes reddit trannies mad
How long is it again?
>>12574890>or guidesOfficial guides are extremely soulful
>>12574992>>12575003>>12576692Go back to your truther stalker subreddit
>>12576598Kek. I was about to mention the Bigfoot pose.
>>12576696Oh hey I had the MM one. It's really good if for no other reason than it has a really in-depth version of the Bombers Notebook
It's good to see Mike Matei threads are okay on /vr/. Mike is the quintessential retro gamer.
>>12574890>>12574992Mike is a cuck and an idiot. Save states and guides are fine and are standard. Plus my Shenmue strategy guides helped me beat Shenmue 1 & 2 with 100% trophies for each game!
>>12577087I actually think he's a retard, a lucky one.He clings to the fact he "created" avgn and I smell horseshit on that, and everything he says.He once told a story about getting SMB3 like a year before USA got it but get this, he claimed his mom traveled to Japan for work and that she somehow purchased SMB3, not the Japanese Famicom, but the USA NES one that didn't exist yet (and his answer for that is "i dunno how that was possible but she just got it"), and he told it to the camera with a straight face, he is that kid who claimed his uncle works at nintendo, he is that literal kid but an adult.He also sucks at video games (bootsy ultra mogged him and that's why mike wanted him out), and his supposed big dick was a pic taken from a gay forum.He's a conman and a griefer of the maximum caliber, he's now banking on his cringe videos because he figured there's a public for that (the redditor "truthers", all old guys gossipping and repeating memes about James, when it was originally created to shit on Mike)BTW never forget Mike once spammed a thread on /vr/ to get it to bump limit because people were talking about him nanning everyone at reddit (and so redittors were coming here as refugees)Despite all that I agree with him on a lot of things mostly the way he talks about genuine experiences and how he's often anti-modern, but I know most of it is just a pose coming from him.
>>12577087This philosophy is unnecessary. Instead of seeing saves as cheating, look at no-saving as a category or achievement.
>>12577096you literally just made all of that up
>>12577102https://youtu.be/U-xzEvB_vUM?si=o6_oe0U1U2A5mDhU15:30
>>12577095>Mike is a cuckMike literally cucked Joe Redifer thougheverbeit
>>12577109And okay he claimed it was 1 month before, still a bullshit story
>>12577110Not a high bar
>>12576696Show some respect for unofficial guides. They're often way funnier
Gamefaqs guides are the most based of all though because you have some absolute schizos writing them -- decades after a game has released, as was the case with this one
>>12577260Any guide that has a shit talking section at the start is based because it shows how personally they take the guide making hobby.
>>12577087Matei is unironically the king of /vr/.>>12577096you can shut up now
>>12578005Hi mike, bootsy was always effortlessly an actual good player, unlike you
>>12578009Mike is the everyman. He puts blood, sweat, and tears into his every victory.
>>12574890Mike did the pause glitch to beat yellow devil in mega man 1 btw
>>12578043I really don't know what to make of those in-game glitch exploits, like Dark Link in Zelda 2, etc. I guess it's fine since it's the game devs that fucked up.
>>12574890If I see the credits roll, I beat the game. Its that simple
>>12578074>Credits are an option in the main menuCongrats on already beating a fourth of every game that exists.
>>12578171This just makes me respect Mike even more.
>>12578183>credits are an option in the main menu >I beat the game>cross it off my backlog
>>12578260Fucking king behavior.
>>12578260>sign into my Backloggd account and rate the game based solely on the font used in the credits
Mike literally gave birth to AVGN while staying quietly in the background. Only years later people discovered he was a humble ghostwriter and the key to James' success.
>>12578268James Rolfe would've been a guy just mindlessly screaming about poop without true gamer Mike to give him focus.
>>12578358AVGN outburst yelling shit and diarrhea was never scripted
>>12578363James suffers from Tourette syndrome.
>>12577095Save states remove the point of playing the game since you're not constantly replaying and mastering it as intended. I would rather skim a long play than waste hours rushing thru a short game with cheats
>>12578260>input cheats to unlock all of the bonus content>Backlog status: Complete (100%)
>>12578268The balls on the dick, as it were.
>>12578268That's a lie.AVGN is still mostly all James, with Mike, Bootsy and Kyle all helping a bit with different things. Mike mostly did the shitty artwork for the episode titles and maybe contributed with a few ideas for some episodes. And signed up for the Youtube account.The whole "um ackshually, I am the creator of AVGN!" is a Mike attempt at regaining the prestidge (?) he lost after he became a joke when people found out about elvis8bit and the fake dick pic.And James is just too much of a docile guy to come up front and put a limit to how much Mike claims he helped him with AVGN
>>12578171kek, too funny
>>12578073The Zelda 2 one isn't really a glitch, just a cheese the devs never accounted for. It may as well be the official way because I never fucking beated him the "intended" way.
>>12578395Dude has to be taking some kind of meds these days, he seems so fucking sedated and bored about everything compared to how he was back in the early J&M mondays days. Also 20y anniversary of the channel was barely even acknowledged. One quickly shot podcasty ass video where James and Mike aren't even in the same room and that's it? Yay.
>>12578710Bimmy has no time, something something muh kids
>>12578712Ok, redditor truther
>>12578714>can't accept his suylent promoting balding cuck bimmy being insultedyou worship someone who makes pizza hut nostalgia videos, let it go. Bimmy didn't even record the gameplay for most of his videos.
>>12576696I agree. That's why you look at them AFTER you finish the game.
>>12578738this website is so deranged, people here unironically except children to 1cc a game at 5:32 PM on a thursday in jakarta or else they didn't beat the game, who gives a fuck? why are manchildren so pretentious?
>>12578743Though you may petulantly whine like one, you are not a child. You should be perfectly capable of finishing video games without cheating.
>>12578751whatever you say manchild
I'm here to say Mike Matei is the fucking man and the greatest streamer alive behind Charls Carrol.
>>12578706What's weird about the Dark Link thing is that the cheese doesn't work in the original FDS version. They somehow retroactively broke the fight.
>>12578714Is it 5:40 already?
>>12578714I recently learned of the existence of that place and it's fucking wild to me. A bunch of fags who don't like modern AVGN (which is valid) and instead of simply finding someone else to watch, spend all day making shit up about this one e-celeb who's past his prime and crafting conspiracy theories about him. Really weird.
>>12578775so basically what this site does?
luv mike, luv james, hate ledditors, simple as
>>12578778No? E-celeb threads get deleted on /vr/.
>>12578783except this one, of course.
>>12578786Re-read the OP. It wasn't originally an e-celeb thread, you're trying to turn it into one. Unless you think using an image of James as the AVGN when criticizing a game would be reason enough for a ban.
>>12578794the pic related is literally an e-celeb who is known for being against save states and rewind, fuck off disingenious retard.
>>12578796Are you dense? Using a pic of Mike because he's vocally against save states and popularized the>you didn't beat the game meme while creating a thread about 'save states or guides being cheating' isn't making an e-celeb thread.That's exactly why I used the James example. If I created a thread about Superman 64 being a shitty game and used James as the OP, it wouldn't be an e-celeb thread, it would be a thread about Superman 64 being a shitty game.
>>12578694>maybe contributed with a few ideas for some episodes.He cowrote most of them and wrote ENTIRE episodes with zero input from James (Zelda 2, Swordquest, Castlevania Parts 3 and 4 are a few I recall he wrote 100% of). That didn't stop James from plastering his name all over the credits "written directed edited", yeah right James, you wish.Mike also wrote a lot of Monster Madness. Year 1 was entirely James, Year 2 (Godzillathon) was written by James but Mike edited every single video. Year 3 onwards writing duty was split between the two, Mike always did all the editing from Year 2. The Elm Street series in sequelathon, for example, I know with certainty was entirely written by Mike. James just did the voice over.
>>12578780Dangerously based
James was the tard wrangler that trimmed all the retarded ideas Mike had. Mike definitely contributed to AVGN, but if he's left to do everything by himself you get mineycrafta and Elmo. They both can't make anything good if separate. They're like Romero and Carmack.
>>12578805They made a cool show together is what it comes down to.
>>>/ecelebs/
>>12578803>If I created a thread about Superman 64 being a shitty game and used James as the OP, it wouldn't be an e-celeb thread, it would be a thread about Superman 64 being a shitty game.it doesn't matter. OP knew what he was doing. he got a stealth e-celeb thread.
>>12578716I simply think redditors obsessed with ecelebs are not welcome here.Also the irony: you worship and give attention to these men lmao, fag
>>12578805Yeah I still don't buy the "um, ackshually!!!! Mike is da REAL avgn xdddd" narrative.Mike helped, maybe wrote "entire episodes" (i dunno), still he's not the creator of shit and bootsy and kyle were more important
>>12578862>have nice discussion about thing>"WOW YOU FUCKING WORSHIP THING HOW PATHETIC">"WOW BUY AN AD">"WOW ARE WE BEING RAIDED BY LEBBIT?"I swear man so many people on this website have the emotional stability of a pregnant woman. You see people talking about a thing you don't like and you have a meltdown going on about how it's some coordinated shilling campaign specifically targeted at you and only you. News flash nonny: you're not that important. If you died tomorrow the only people that would care are your parents and they would be relieved more than anything because their unemployed failure of a son can no longer disappoint them. The hilarious ironic part is how fucking braindead you are by continuously bumping the thread and letting us know how badly you're shitting your panties.
>>12578913Real fresh coming from a furfag. Kys and buy an ad for the funeral.
He's live. Playing some kid's license-slop platformer on the GBA
>>12578915>no response because his asshole got thoroughly roto-rooted
>>12578913Didn't read all that but if you spend any time of your life on Reddit posting about what AVGN is or isn't doing then you have no right to tell anything to anyone, you are a literal fag.
>>12578754Fake Mike fan. Mike is #1. No exceptions.
>>12579125Never been on reddit (unlike you who knows what they are doing apparently) and have never seen a full episode of AVGN. Sorry. I am watching Mike live though right now on Twitch. He's actually paying me by the post for this thread. That make you seethe bitchboy?
>>12579146He's great but he's no Charls, sorry. As far as video game streamers he's easily the best and I think that's saying enough. I've been watching AVGN since the original trilogy and if you don't know what that means then you're actually the fake fan.
>>12577096You're just jealous.
>>12574890Real hardware lets you use player's guides but not save states. Therefore, guides are fair game IMO.Policing how other people play games is stupid though, so that's just how I play.
>>12574890Mike looking rough
There's no rational argument against save states. There's no rational reason why any game should refuse the players request to save at any point. Just feminine emotions and pretentious babbling about muh challenge or something.
>>12579487>There's no rational reason why any game should refuse the players request to save at any point.The game refuses because it's not a feature programmed into the game.There's no rational reason to use save states other than the emotional obsession with ticking games off your faggy "backlog".
>>12579360>Real hardware lets you use player's guides but not save statessome versions of action replay for computers allowed you to save states (what they called "freeze").
>>12579287I even said I agree with him on some things.But he's just a retard for real.
>>12579538Ita programmed into the emulator, goofbrain.
