    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      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.

        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.

      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 frick 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.

      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.

        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.

      Initially tried beating it without save states but holy frick 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.

    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.

    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.
