I use to binge watch the AVGN while eating chips back during my middle school years. I still watch him from time to time. It's amazing how long he's been on YT and still keeps going.
I've seen that video by Chris Bores at 14:30 in which he talks about the heat between him and James. That video has aged terribly. Chris says a number of things that were wrong, and years later they made peace and did a collaboration in 2020. I'm surprised Chris hasn't taken that video down.
I love that part when his future self meets his young self and the young James asks if he'd like to play ET on Atari and he looks at him and says "FUCK NO!"
Great video man! I hope you make more content like this. AVGN was the first channel I ever subscribed on youtube. My favourite video of his was his smb3 video. Nowadays his videos are hit or miss but he still makes quality videos.
James didn't start genre. The origins goes back to like 1999 with Seanbaby. Former GameSpot editor Alex Navarro made similar video reviews like two years before James' first video.
Good video, a little surprised you didn't bring up AngryJoe, Spoony or Armake21, I know you had to draw certain lines roughly based on size of the creators you covered but these are relatively big (compared to some of the ones you covered) and would have had some more interesting relationships with rolfe unlike some you brought up which had little to no stories to tell with each other. Still a good effort!
@@MichaelAlberto I believe that’s ‘To Boldly Flee.’ He made a trilogy (each declining in quality) and in total it’s 7 hours of beautiful infinite cringe. All the cast hated working on it, and a bunch of them turned on the Critic years later. AVGN cameos in all of them aswell. Anyway great video as always. Needs more N word
i decided to give you a shot bc jim said your videos were decent. have to say this was actually a fairly inciteful analysis. keep up the good work and I wish you the best in moving on from the cat boy fed cult.
There truly is a thin line between homage and ripping off. Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw of Zero Punctuation/Fully Ramblomatic admits he was partially influenced from the mad reviewer of the 2000s. In reality, he has much in common with the Angry Video Game Nerd. Both of them curse abundantly in their videos. Both reviewers are more negative than positive. It's just that the Angry Video Game Nerd does retro/vintage games, but Yahtzee does modern games, and the Angry Video Game Nerd does live action, but Yahtzee does animation. Is that an homage or a rip-off?
Is Irate Gamer that bad? Is he worth a watch? I only ever watched his crossover with AVGN on Dick Tracey for NES and he seemed good enough. Also, I've been seeing Scott the Woz show up on recommendations for years but never watched a single second of him. I might give him a try. That was hard shilling at the end. lol
Irate Gamer and AVGN have since buried the hatchet. But IG, aka Chris Neo as he goes by now, is still heady cringe. And yeah Scott The Woz is awesome, higly recommend.
Michael, do you think the horrible comb over is part of the nerd shtick or just normal boomer cope? James must have enough money to get a decent looking transplant done.
I think he is actually balding. Ik people are making fun of him, but it’s natural at that age too. He’s an older guy nowadays, he’s not fresh out of college anymore like he was in 04. I think James would look cool bald, he should go for it.. For the Nerd eps he can get a good wig.
One of my favorite UA-camrs, I still watch him today but his first 100 episodes are his best work.

A lot of the recent AVGN videos are credited as written by James. That says to me Screenwave is no longer tampering with AVGN episodes.
They still suck tho

I love going back to watching his Earthbound video from time to time because it’s just that good.
i remember that one being a good one.

You are trash
My favorite is the Sword Quest one. It is so different to his normal stuff and apparently my mom entered the contest.
‘Going back’ to watch a vid from just 5 years ago! Much nostalgia!
Bro that was insightful analysis of a type of youtube content creators
Great job!
Another example of Italian excellence. James Rolfe, Mike Mattei... can these guys stop winning?
Don't forget Doug Walker, born in Italy!
@Sneed Chucky a Ro what? a ROMAnian? the people that speak a ROMAnce language? and are the heirs to the ROMAn empire?
I would also say James is a big factor in that people playing retro games again.
*Me the one Caddicarus fan sitting in the corner:* ...
Also me

Great video! 👍
Daddy Jim was right your videos are good thanks a lot!
Great video! I like how Micheal is well-rounded enough to talk about things other than politics. He has likes and interests without being a man baby
That video arrives right when youtube is making its next step to "PG-ify" UA-cam.
Ironic.
Came here because Metokur mentioned you. Looks like some good content that I'll enjoy.
21:26 MICHAEL NOOOOOOOOO HES GOING TO SUE YOU
Hello Michael Alberto, my ailing friend wants you to do a 2 hour in depth analysis of the Nostalgia Critics movie Kickassia. Will you do it for him?
ive never seen any of the movies. wasnt there a 5 hour one he did called like "the plot hole" or something?

I never watched too much of the Irate Gamer, seems to me he’s just a discount Nerd. Scott’s great. Def worth checking him out.
@@MichaelAlberto This video is just based Michael Alberto speaking in codes about a potential civil revolt.

Nibba whens the JonTron vid gonna drop?
Like Turkey Tom, you make videos on topics you know nothing about and too young to ever understand.
Michael, do you think the horrible comb over is part of the nerd shtick or just normal boomer cope? James must have enough money to get a decent looking transplant done.

Keep up the quality content Michael
