balls on a dick
TEN INCH MIKE
Lol where did this rumour start I see it all over cinnemassacre comment sections
He posted an image of his dick on Twitter, then deleted it. He used to talk about his dick in the YT comments on the Cinemassacre account before deleting those as well. There are screencaps of the comments and a picture of his dick. It's easily 10 inches.
That was not his own dick, though he may still be fart knocking Erin with ten of his own.
Ah I see, that's awesome.
>There are screencaps of the comments and a picture of his dick.
Reminds me of when Jared's dick pics got leaked and it turned out he had a big ol dick... I'll never forgive him for those Sailor Mercury pics though.
Jared's dick was little though. How can can you call it big?
dios mio
Mike started a rumor and then made a dozen sock accounts to confirm it. He likes attention so he makes shit up all the time.
>In late 2015, Matei tweeted out a picture of his penis next to measuring tape to answer a question to someone asking how large his dick was. He said "10 inches." The picture has since been deleted
The man is absolutely wrong about save states
But damn if I wouldn't bow down and suck his juicy cock.
Tell me how stupid I am for using emulators and slap your dick on my face.
His dick is too big. I dont think anyone wants to be with someone who has a dick over 9 inches in reality.
Only gays like horsecock. Most women could not handle it
Your mom took it easily
>I can't be in the movie because... Uhhhh... Well... You see... Hmmmm... I-I'm bad at remembering text...
LMAO
There's this monkey that throws butts at you
Now I believe that he was the one who carried all AVGN back in the day. Maybe James' only contribution was his goofy acting and camera angles.
Why did Ganker get overrun by casuals? Why didn't we gatekeep harder?
gatekeeping cannot exist on a website with no registration requirements.
shithole like re*etera and r**dit on the other hand are extremely good at gatekeeping, so they might be more up your speed
WHERE DID THE HAIR GO
I have been playing with save states before most of you were born.
Deal with it.
Yes.
There's plenty of games where rewinding exist in-game but are there any games where quicksaving/loading is explicitly stated as being an in-universe power?
undertale
I mean, there are a lot of games where NPCs explain saving to you...
yes
When do you guys think AVGN started to go bad? Apparently there are rumors that Mike is the true AVGN cause he did most of the gameplay in the reviews and I think I heard he wrote most of them.
The first episode.
Mike recorded many of the first 100 episodes with James. They would do the gameplay recording togethed. Or sometimes Mike did it alone for certain episodes.
There was a video Mike made in college before AVGN began that some people refer to as avgn episode zero. Because it has James doing many mannerisms that later became nerd personality traits.
After episode 100 Mike started getting into live streaming and stopped writing avgn. But apparently he came back and helped write The Last Ninja episode.
What is the name of the episode 0 avgn video? Also I never liked Mike, I always thought he was a arrogant stupid man child. I have no idea why some people like him.
Here’s the video.
>Also I never liked Mike
How can you hate Mike Matei
it makes more sense how the avgn is so bad now with this info getting out the last couple of years. James was really just playing a role. He always talks about himself as a film maker more than anyhting else. Which makes sense if the nerd was always just a job to him. He liked games fine as a kid, but not so much as an adult.
There's also the fact that Mike was the one who egged James on to keep doing AVGN past the first episodes in the first place.
And he was of course playing a role, but he played many of the games the Nerd reviewed in his childhood and that showed.
Likewise, it showed when he had no connection to an episode's game. But they had to run out of bad childhood games eventually.
When mike left. he is the real creator of AVGN. Then the whole series went to shit after james sold himself to screenwave.
>finally ran through board james
>was blind going in
Holy fuck man
if I used the speedhack of cheat engine or the x2 boost from emulators, did I finished the game?
Save states are good because:
1:old games had garbage save mechanics
2:to practice hard techniques like moves, jumps and combos to git gud.
>2
You do that after you beat the game.
>1
Either the game was balanced around the save mechanic or it was a bad game and not worth finishing in the first place.
>the game was balanced
Bull shit old games were balanced.
>after you beat the game
Oh shut up moron, I load areas I want to get good at so I can play the level in one swoop. Say for sonic advanced 2. I break down the areas that have the coins and figure out how I want to jump to it. Then reload the level from the start to get it all in one swoop. It's like learning to play a song. Fuck you telling me how to play.
Maybe the games weren't built for saving.
BROWN BRICKS
So the game is fun, but not fun enough to go through a level that possibly lasts for a couple minutes a second time. So either the game isn't fun or you're one big consoomer.
I can't believe you people are as shit at games as journalists are lmao
And they try to justify it. At least the journalist is truthful with what they did.
>I cheated and now I am trying to justify it to others
There are no justifications for cheating, you're going against the rules set by the game, you have an unfair advantage over those that do not cheat.
You are a cheater, that's it. Own up to it, and shut the fuck up about it. Nothing you say will make you less of a cheater.
There's nothing wrong with cheating as long as it does not directly impact other people, you are welcome to cheat amongst yourself as much as you want, but don't take that bullshit to multiplayer.
People are such fucking soifags, holy shit
Why is it wrong to use save states?
It's not like you didn't get to that certain point in the game with your own skills anyways.
>It's not like you didn't get to that certain point in the game with your own skills anyways
There's a difference between barely getting there through the skin of your teeth and being able to get to that point without getting hit. Just because you have gotten there once doesn't mean you have gotten enough proficiency to have the resources to get further into the game.
Also, it removes anxiety in cases of "accumulation" tests. Ex. FFX dodging the lightning is easy if you do 1 trial over and over again. The same thing is harder if you have to do it all at once without save states. I forget the number required for the weapon.
>hey anon i beat adventure island
>oh sweet that games tough
>can you show me?
>oh shi- load state oh shi- load state fuc- load state
very impressive
idc what you guys do in your free time but it just takes all the pressure away if you have save states. just all over doesn't matter i'll save just save it. oh man last life im gonna have to re do this whole world. palms sweaty betty spaghetti
>aw dude I get full torque when I'm being abused
no wonder femdom and pegging is so popular, it's boomers like you that have masochistic tendencies.
I am 100% fine with save states so long as you use it to solve a problem in the game similar to Crash Bandicoot 1's save system or situations were a certain part is incredibly annoying.
We're not gonna be in agreeing terms if you abuse the save system for situations were it's a skill issue like using save states on games like Punch Out mid-fight.
Only games i already beat on actual hardware
Don't worry Mike, I didn't use rewind or save states to beat Gremlins 2. I used Game Shark codes to give myself infinite lives and balloons.
Those games are simply unfair and artificially lengthen their play time so it only makes sense to save state. It simply fixes bad design.
i can't tell whether or not this thread's just shitposting or is actually genuine
This thread is part of Mikes Psyop to convince you he has a big dick and he should be the AVGN because he's a 'true' gamer. He doesn't realize that AVGN is taking the piss out of his little rants and rages at games like the manchild he is because he thinks James is too autistic to know how to mock him.
Hi Mike.
>I tell people I beat the game
Don't go around telling lies, you didn't, you cheated on game aimed at elementary schoolers.
Just let the broken man have one victory in life...
Mike was right. You may have seen the end but I didn't beat the game. Simple as
I've been using save states and fast forward since the birth of emulation and i'm not going to stop now
I can totally believe people who think DKC3 is good are like this
I cheat and savestate in every single games I play until I have every levels and bosses memorized
Then I do a no death run, record it and upload it to my google drive as proof that I did it to myself
saving and reloading a save each time you die or turn off your game means that you're rewinding, but you're skipping it to the end. LOAD AND SAVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A REWIND
Mike is talking about games without save-on-demand.
who is Mike
Mike Crotch
>is the real AVGN
>when he helped the avgn episodes were the best theyve ever been
>James reveals how much of an incompetent idiot he is in his book
Mike was the heart and soul of cinemassacre
>James reveals how much of an incompetent idiot he is in his book
I would REALLY like to know what he said if anybody has the exerpt
Is there a pdf of the book somewhere online? Cause I am not paying for that thing. I heard the books is so badly written the first word is apparently misspelled.
There's an .epub copy on Library Genesis, just get Adobe Digital Editions and you should be able to read it.
Shut up bitch
I tried reading the book with a reader that can read the epub file, but the pages just show up blank for some reason?
The text is for whatever reason absurdly small, looks like whoever uploaded the epub file fucked up.
he is right. If you die in Super Mario and reload to a state seconds before dying, you are just cheating. You should die and return to the start/checkpoint of the stage.
Wow, he's gotten chunky.
I bet you gays never tried really hard self imposed challenges in any of your favorite games
>Treating yourself to a little sippy after cheesing an enemy into the corner
Yeah because savescumming is bullshit but stunlocking is a legit game tactic. Nice to see Shredhead hand your ass to you microdick mike.
Yes? Defeating an enemy in the best possible way, be that by manipulating its movement pattern to be predictable enough so that you can kill it before it kills you, is completely within the rules of the original game, and actually takes some skill, unlike savestates. Trying to deflect it as "you didn't REALLY beat the game cus you used cheap and/or easy tactics" just shows your ignorance and pettiness.
You clearly have not been in the Technodrome in TMNT NES. The game is so badly programmed, cheesing is a must.
Then what about cheesing Dark Link in Zelda 2? Can you say you beat the game if you just crouched in the left corner?
no I do that IRL to improve myself
video games are to relax, chill and have fun, not to function as ersatz achievements for empty lives
I unironically belive that Mikes does cocaine
He is a fan of everything 80's after all
Did I still beat the game if I saved it just because I was done playing and picked up in the same spot later on?
REMINDERS:
they only made games ''hard'' back then to justify their abysmal length (show me an NES game that takes longer than 2 hours)and the prices, also keep in mind quarter munchers in the arcade and the huge rental scene where they tried keeping kids constantly renting shit.
Games nowadays are more challenging, watch Matei play Dark Souls.
>watch Matei play Dark Souls.
I did, a random clip
moron used every "cheap" weapons/armor
and he is complaining about savestates lmao
kek, he really sucks
I'm 31, I'm just telling it like it is. Fuck you cunt, you're clearly too young to remember the Blockbuster days.
I'm 35, first system was NES because I had older siblings. We didnt play games all day. You play for an hour and two and then you go play outside. Thats just how the world was BUCKO
I didn't ask for your life story, kiddie fiddler.
What are you still here? I was busy getting my prostate milked for the 9th time today by a 14 year old Japanese girl.
Within a single minute? Damn thost prostitutes must be disapointed with your pre-ejaculation issues.
Or maybe relieved, since they get to leave the room faster.
I orgasm an average of 1000 times per milking. They’ve got their precious little ching chong fingers work cut out for them
you're a funny dude, i'd buy you a brewski
Ok 32bitfag. Enjoy your save systems and 40 hour long campaigns LOL
Fuck, I love huge titty zoomer sluts so much it's unreal
Nobody would give a fuck if your gay ass eyes were sliced out
Me too, buddy.
Shut up zoom. Games didnt have save systems at all without having a battery in the cartridge
>games longer than 2 hours
People didn't spend literally all day gaming like you shut-in gays. They would play for a while and then go outside like a normal human being. 2 hours is more than long enough
Get AIDS and die queer
>beating a game
Why didn't we listen...
He is right
During christmas I got play on a Switch of a family member, I played Super Ghouls and Ghosts
Initially tried beating it without save states but holy fuck is that game painfully difficult, I saved during stage checkpoints as to not lose entirely when running out of lives
It made the game a lot easier when you can try the same spot multiple times in a row without being forced to play through all the way, less time wasted, but it's still against how the game was supposed to be beat
And even after having beat it once, you'd have to play it again for the "true ending". Ain't nobody got time for that.
Props to people who speedrun through these demonically difficult games.
For years James recorded things onto DVD because he didn’t know how easy it was to use a capture card or even what they are.
It appears he STILL does not understand the difference between 30fps and 60fps. Here is a somewhat recent AVGN video from 2022.
30 fps, gameplay looks bad. The NES is 60fps and he is not displaying it correctly.
Mike used to do a lot of the actual gameplay and his setup for recording reflected this, Mike has modded consoles with digital outputs, capture cards, good upscales, etc.
James for years did not have any of this and would record shitty analog output to a $10 awful upscaler you can get on Amazon.
When they would record James and Mike Mondays at Mike's place the footage would be smooth 60fps and look like this.
Next year at James despite the video being rendered at 60fps the gameplay was 30 like this.
I also saw a post somewhere that said Mike tried to help James fix his setup many times. But James couldn’t be bothered and didn’t care. I can understand that he might have lost his interest in video games. But he makes videos about games.

It doesn't matter, really. You still have a retard bashing his head agaisnt the wall until it breaks, except more time effecient.
who are you quoting? I never done that
Why are you brazenly smug about ruining the experience of an already easy game for yourself? I find it really hard to believe your second favorite gaming experience ever was cheating through a platformer I beat when I was a kid unless your taste is really just that terrible.
>make a save right before the final choice
>reload and go with every choice after finishing the last
>yeah i finished the game 3 times
I backed up my save for elden ring's endings, and I would do it again with the next fromsoft game
So have I but wouldnt claim I beat it 3 times, just that I've seen all the endings.
Yes I did this with cyber punk and it’s retarded to say that I should have to play through the entire game hundred percent all over again just to see three different flavors of ending
Playing a game with cheats it's like watching a movie on a phone and thinking you have experience it.
Yeah I don't get people that savestate and rewind.
Checkpoint systems are good because they ensure you eventually learn the game's mechanics in order to make it through a section relatively unscathed, if you just quicksave constantly after every obstacle you'll just be banging your head against the wall constantly until it eventually happens to break through, but that'll only cause you to get stuck again because you didn't actually get better at the game on a mechanical level you just memorized how to do that one section.
Yes. It's the intented experience.
I literally just claim to have beaten the entier nes and snes catalog.
Iv never owned an nes and owned maybe a dozen snes games at most.
You can't stop me, I am already too powerful.mjwk8
Why yes, I have beaten the entier nes and snes library, how could you tell?
