It's our only hope.

I am so tired of CE. The only reason I go there is because the rest of the site is about half as active.

With the departure of Mike--the only one who cared about games--it feels dead to me already.

Well he just did the Dragon Quest video, which probably took him some time and research. I thought it was cool since he rarely does RPGs.

From my understanding, the Earthbound episode from 2018 was the last review he actually wrote. It is no wonder basically everything after that has been at best mediocre (at least the few videos I have watched). AVGN is now just James reading a script as quickly as he can to pay the bills.

That rant from the end of Raid 2020 is one of the all-time Nerd rants.

He's only still at it to save up for himself and his family. Cant completely fault him for that. He's just going to milk it for as long as he's able.

That actually is pretty good, especially the part about going back to the year 64 to play N64 games.

From what I understand he doesn't actually game anymore except for his videos. The only video games he ever actually liked were in the 8 bit and 16 but era. And he has grown sick of them even now. Supposedly he is focused on making movies these days. He only does AVGN still cause it brings in money

I can't believe people actually WANT him to retire. What, are you going to watch Chris NEO the IRATE gamer instead?

That shirt pisses me off.

You enjoy teaching high schoolers, and I'll enjoy creating my crappy manga. Let's see where we both are in a year. TheDoorMouse

I really could care less if he keeps making videos or retires. I totally understand why he keeps churning out mediocre videos, something has to pay the bills and reading a script is probably easier and less time consuming then most other jobs.

I don't watch "angry" video game reviewers anymore and am living perfectly fine without them. If someone manages to make funny angry reviews again I'll tune in.

If anything, I miss the old Classic Game Room. I feel like there should be more low-key review shows for video games. Especially in the nature of having 20 five-minute reviews instead of having 4 twenty-five minute reviews.

You know... you could always just stop watching.

Its like people mad that The Simpsons still being made... meanwhile, I just haven't watched a new episode in about a dozen years. No skin off my back.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

He's essentially just an onscreen character now, who occasionally does videos talking about movies he likes. If that's what he prefers to be doing and it still makes money, then good.
