Man who I've never heard of claims he doesn't need validation whilst seeking said validation.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

I should pick up some Rolling Rock as a tribute.

Hmm…on second thought. I'll just give James a thumbs up

Maybe I'll pick up his new game.

Board James is better than those!



Seriously, the way it degrades from "just board games reviews" into what it becomes in the last few episodes is worth the watch lol

I do really enjoy classic AVGN, and there's a lot of behind the scenes controversy that's pretty entertaining, but Board James is the best actual show they produced.

 

[Liopleurodon]

From what little I saw of both of them, Ninja seems much more pleasant.

 

[coffinbirth]

Yeah, fuck YouTube....AVGN is a goddamned legend and literally the only reason I even watched YouTube for fucking YEARS before anyone else even came close to what they were doing.

 

[ssringo]

Haven't watched AVGN in years (the movie break kinda killed it for me) so had to check out how the channel is doing.

Nearly 4M subscribers, AVGN videos still get hundreds of thousands of views minimum (saw a couple in the 1.5 million range) and even off brand video get 10s of thousands and into the hundred thousand range.

Certainly not on the level of the old stuff but still pulls in plenty of views!

Never saw AVGN do this. Just sayin.

James Rolfe had his ups and downs, but if anyone, he is the soul of the gaming YouTube in general and just a real human being despite 20 years of Internet Spotlight. Vastly enjoying his recent episodes after a bit of a slump.

At the same time Ninja died along with Mixer (Twitch clone), at least in my social bubble.

It'll be a sad day when the Nerd finally quits making videos. I still rotate between AVGN and Red Letter Media playlists to fall alseep to every single night, and it's been years now at this point. Never fails that once a night I either wake up to the AVGN theme song as it's super jarring to sleep through, or I wake to Rich Evans laughing maniacally.

I'm sure Ninja's sponsor friendly image is why he won. AVGN is too R-rated for these callouts.

Hi kids! Do you want to see Bugs Bunny get shit on?

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

They dont care about gamers or games, they just want whatever it sells... and the streamers for the tik tok kids is in demand.

Gaming should have never hit main stream media

Man that one is a blast from the past. I think I'm going on a Board James binge tonight.

his swearing after playing the modern godzilla game is still the best imo

Only time really gave a shit about him is when he started streaming FFXI. Which is pretty fucking based. Didnt care about anything else he did though.

Not even joking. That gif is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Time for humanity to just end.

[Thief1987]

This sounds super petty tbh

Two E-celebs that are still somehow famous, but rarely heard about, these days.

Best AVGN episodes ever

Big Rigs, now there's a game that opens up the wild rabbit hole known as Sergey Titov.

Kids are the best for engagement and targeted ads, there are marketers wet dream. As th CEO of Pepsi once said: "We need to get them by the time they are 5, otherwise it's over".

Same! Except I've rotated in Game Sack to replace RLM as of late. I did about six months of Scott The Woz too, haha.

I never even watched AVGN on YouTube it was always through cinemassacre was it?

He's been uploading to You Tube for 19 years now.

I checked up on AVGN a few weeks ago first time in a couple of years (was an avid watcher 10+ years ago) and I was so pleasantly surprised to see that his videos still pull good numbers, honestly very unusual for such an old creator that hasn't changed much of his content.
