Is it just me or does James look really tired in the last movie update? Given all the stuff on his plate I guess it's understandable.

Well, you're best off opening unknown presents early on in the game than you are late in the game like they did, since you'll lose a lot less progress to a bum present that way.
I don't see it as something to completely flip out and rage over. It's terrible, but in a way that doesn't frustrate or challenge you at all.
He has a kid. He'd always be tired.
He didn't really flip out and rage. It was all appropriate criticism and reaction, including the initial 'wtf this is so interesting'
I really don't see the problem. This game is pretty famous on the net and deserved an episode of its own. It really is one of the worst games to be released.
Correct. The instant kill present is better off found early than later. Knowing your weapon and fudge sundae presents makes things easier. I wouldn't even bother with doors and I'd probably ditch every bad present so you have room. If you can get carrot man to find randomizer or insta death early you are pretty much set.
Also save your high tops for the desert or when there's three boogie men on screen.
Its easily the best game on the Genesis.

I remember when the game came out and it just never looked appealing to me. I started watching this episode and realized why. This game looks awfully boring. It's actually the first AVGN or James & Mike I couldn't watch all the way through. They should've spent only about 15 or 20 minutes at most on this episode. I loved most Genesis games and I know this game in particular was well loved, but it's just not for me.
James appears on Egoraptor's new rap along Star Bomb video along with Keith Apicary, Rocco from MEGA64, CliffyB etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5edoOTXqN0
Warning: it's pretty bad.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
hahaha at that big rigs video, has anyone actually tested just how fast you can go in that game? like is there a limit and if the sound eventually becomes just for show?
My online calculator tells me that's 1.7893979e+28 times faster than the speed of light.
I don't even know what kind of answer that is (teh math noob).
That means move that decimal point 28 places to the right.
I guess they had to cap it at some point.

wow, thats crazy.
James & Mike play Paperboy (N64)
I remember renting this since I had Paperboy 2 on SNES (to which I would just try to knock over everything I could) and entering cheats....one of which cycles through every newspaper headline which lasted quite a few minutes.

I wonder if Alex Navarro has seen the Big Rigs video.
Ugh that's one ugly sonomabiatch - looking back I'm really wondering how I could have seen the 3d graphics of N64 / PS1 / Saturn as even remotely appealing, let alone as spectacular technology. Apparently people where really forgiving, since the polish of 2d art was just lightyears ahead of what 3d had to offer back then..

I had Paperboy on NES, I played it a ton
wow, that got me pretty hype
was worried this would end up a disaster but it looks and sounds like it all went pretty well.
hopefully the section about all the costs shut up some of the people who claimed he was embezzling the money or something

loved the commercial.
Can't wait until the movie comes out, the trailer looks really promising.

James & Mike Mondays - Action Max (VHS light gun games)
Tell me if you think they got paid by Microsoft for this video's "promotion"... it just seems kinda weird that they would have that on the big screen behind them, and then specifically point it out... James even looks a bit weird about it afterwards.
If you remember the deal with the YouTube content creators, they simply had to mention the Xbox One without saying anything negative about it... or maybe, based on the ending, they were sorta making fun of that whole campaign (since they likely filmed this segment months ago).

Hmm, I had an ActionMax. Didn't have Blue Thunder or .38 Ambush Alley. Had the other ones though. I don't care what anyone says, that shit was fun when I was like 8. Yet at the same time my 8 year old self understood that it was really stupid. But still fun.
"sure you don't wanna play Xbox One"
"no"
how is there any question they were making fun of it
That Microsoft deal is for machinima partnered only.
It's not shot in James' basement. They probably put that there as a set piece rather than the wall full of posters and games.

I wonder if he tested it again to see if he got the same result. Could it be that the truck randomly achieved all the checkpoints at that time (because at that speed, it was almost everywhere all at once), and potentially could have gone faster if the checkpoints were laid out in a different way?
Like monkeys typing Shakespeare, the truck was eventually going to complete the checkpoints...

Ugh, that made me cringe so hard. I really hope it was just them making fun of it but it really didn't seem like it. As you said, there's an obvious awkwardness that looks genuine.

James & Mike definitely went for comedic effect with the Xbox1 inclusion.
I'm also amused by the fact that vhs game advertises shooting down jet fighters with a pistol.

Yeah, it was tacky to demonstrate the Actionmaxx like that.

I like how in the VHS game where you have to shoot the criminals, the crosshair appears over the hostages.

wow I do not know what it is about james but every time the talks about life and how far he has come it still amazes me.
He always brings a tear in my eye how good of a story teller and voice over he is.
I mean, they even repeatedly pointed out that cheating isn't possible with this thing - I have to wonder how much Worlds of Wonder (and JVC) paid them..

Sad thing is I always kinda wanted an Actionmax when I was a kid. I'd see them on clearance at KB, but they were still $20 or so which was too rich.
Oh well. I had Captain Power tapes which did the same thing without a suction cup sensor slapped to the TV.
