I know there's really only so far you can take that character, but he's generally less insightful in his newer videos (which is where some of the truly funny things are unearthed). He's also become significantly less angry.

He had a good run, I don't think YouTube famous people can sustain for too long without collapsing. The Power Glove and TMNT1 are amazing and some of my favorite videos on YouTube period.

Yeah for a one dimensional character to have had a run of around ten years of good videos was quite the achievement. He's made life changing amounts of money from it and got to fulfill his lifetime goal of making a full length movie. Good on him!

its weird how he's making it even more obvious that he's acting now...like when he starts to get upset and goes on one of his typical rants his voice changes and its obvious he's reading a script. It was nothing like that in the older episodes...it actually seemed a little more genuine.

Dude has been doing his thing for what? 13 years?
His goal was to make a movie (even predating AVGN) he did that and now is happily married. I'd say AVGN did it's purpose and he is happy. Not so much fell of a cliff. Remember AVGN was just one thing James Rolfe did and it was the one thing that took off. That's a big success in my book.

The appeal of AVGN now is James and Mike Mondays and videos like this Pretty sure Bootsy got forced out by Mike because he was jealous of how good he was at hard games. Shame, he was great. AVGN isn't nowhere near as great as he used to be in 2006 & 2007. But as far as some other Youtube channels are concerned, James has done pretty well keeping himself alive 11 years later whereas a lot of the most popular channels like Fred, Brentalfloss, etc. are pretty much dead now, and a lot of channels went from being great to complete trash (Retsupurae). Even then, there have been a few AVGN videos that have came out here and there that were a glimpse of what made him so good back in the day like that Paperboy review. James needs to do more of that. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't know. His most recent Nerd videos seem to be very much timed for big release games or movies, e.g. the last one on Planet of the Apes for PSOne came out just before the new PotA movie. I think that his style is rather old at this point and has been copied to hell, so he has to stay somewhat relevant. But at least he's stayed true to what he always was... even with the James and Mike Monday playthrough videos.
Do yourself a favour and watch the whole Board James series. It's really good and gets quite dark towards the end. --- Don't fear the eyes of the Dark Lord. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can't fault him, or really expect too much from him these days. I figure he's past his prime, and he's earned the right to kinda do whatever he wants since he was doing his gimmick long before others aped it.

His AVGN stuff has gotten weaker over the years, but his other content has gotten a bit better. There's only so much you can do with one character. Also I think Bootsy doesn't live in the same area, so he's only a guest rather than a regular.

I wonder if he'll stop doing AVGN completely. I very much doubt it. He pretty much outright said in the Megaman review (which is really good BTW) that he knows AVGN is popular but it's stale, and his plan is to pretty much turn the character into part time thing that he brings out now and then because it's fun. Even if its only 1-4 videos a year I expect AVGN will be around forever --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dunno, sure he was fresh and interesting in his earlier days, and he's pretty much made the whole Youtube gaming show culture happen singlehandedly. But his earlier reviews aren't really much better than his newer ones, which have higher production value and focuses on funny commentary and skit rather than just being really really angry and not much else.

His last few have been pretty great tbh, although before that did have some shitty vids like the awful 12 days of shitmas stuff. Board James is awesome though, I wish he didn't possibly end it for good because the horror series it turned into was fantastic and fucked up, my kinda shit.
