how do you even know that he's popular in japan
you freakin weeb
He and the Nostalgia Critic even made an appearance in some anime.
Thought some Japs idealize american pop culture like weebs do here with theirs. Johnny Cool American
Yes, Japs like Kojima.
A lot do, grass is always greener
Ant-Man and the Wasp made ¥1.32 billion in the JP box office. That's a lot of westaboos
"WHY IS IT VEGAS? WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE VEGAS?!"
>you freakin weeb
Holy reddit moment
good morning sirs
when will he play toe hoe
Mike has but not James.
I've integrated these into my playlist
Comfiest episode?
Because he's entertaining.
Bugs Bunnys Birthday Blowout.
A true classic nerd episode.
nintendo power or the double vision 2 parter
Atari 5200. He doesn't even play any games but it's one of the best episodes. Actually, I think every hardware episode is really good, even the recent ones.
>when he pulls out the rolling rock from the hugeass storage compartment
Those early episodes had some really great understated sight gags.
avgn hardware episodes are always comfy
The Halloween Castlevania 4-parter.
Ghostbusters.
Pretty much any video that focuses on hardware.
This, definitely the Castlevania 4 parter. Its nice to see him talk about games he genuinely loves. I also love when he talks about horror movies and you can see this overlap.
Castlevania trilogy and Wally bear and No gang
for me
Virtual boy
I’m surprised no one has said Bible Games, it’s peak cozy for me especially the holiday theme.
Plumber don't wear ties
This. I find myself going back to that one the most for whatever reason.
Maybe it’s that he’s more dumbfounded than angry by it.
>TAKE YOUR DAMN CLOTHES OFF
Ikari Warriors.
Bible Games. All of the early stuff is great though.
The best episode may be Tiger Games though, funnily enough. The right mix of anger, nostalgia, childhood anecdotes and the games being genuine trash.
Super Pitfall.
>Back to the Future
>Die Hard
>Ft13th & NoES
>Ghostbusters
>McKids
>Nintendo Accessories
>Nintendo Power
>Plumbers Don't Wear Ties
>Tiger Electronics
>TMNT III
>Virtual Boy
>Wally Bear
Just classics overall.
Die Hard was so good. I ought to watch it again.
For me its super & virtual hydlide and earthbound
The famicom Transformers
Comments were full of
>noooo don't do it
The accessories episode was a great classic era AVGN episode, but also like the recent Touhou episode. Too bad he deleted it.
Did he say why he deleted it?
Some people (his wife) complained about racism.
Explain
He made a bunch of inappropriate jokes that caused some backlash
Halloween specials with Freddy, Jason and Mike Myers
All hardware reviews are great
for me its Zelda 2
Castlevania series review
I love it until he gets to Castlevania 64 because it just annoys me that he sucks so much at the game. Also, he's way too hard on Castlevania 2.
I wish we had more comfy eps like this. Not rentlessly shitting on the game.
Most comfy is Swordquest.
Bible Games bar none
Powerglove.
Super Pitfall
Nintendo Power. the castlevania 4 parter is also really good too.
>It's a test... to the SHIT
Nintendo Power, Castlevania retrospective (aside from his takes on C64, bite me). He says he enjoys doing AVGN but he really should just retire and be himself, his newer videos are just not enjoyable.
Action 52 easily
Or CD-i
Why not? He's entertaining.
They aren't truthers
He's the West's spiritual Kacho Arino
Actually comfy and cinematic. Bimmy is just soulless.
>bimmy
actual reddit meme
i got one complaint ONE FRICKING COMPLAINT
it doesn't work
What's the most important thing about any game? Well, to be able to FRICKING PLAY IT
gotta get back, back to the past
to play these shitty games that suck ass
you ever thought about if the japanese actually see americans as that one dude in the anime who just constantly swears and screams about hamburgers
do they see avgn the same way?
I think about their anime, manga and games. I don't think about the average Jap at all.
>HORI SHITTO
>WUATTO DA FAKKU
soul
Japan likes boomer games.
its like an american arino so I can see the appeal for the japs
closest thing america has to gamecenter cx
The Internet is obsessed with Nintendo
more japanese fanart please
"Wow, I just did a pretzel by saying 'frick'!"
Alright this is Silver Surfer. Silver Shit.
HE LOOKS SO STOOPID I MEAN WHAT THE HELLS WRONG WITH IM
Because classic AVGN is kino
Yeah, great music. YOU'D RATHER LISTEN TO YOUR OWN INFANT CHILD CHOKING TO DEATH.
>new eceleb bad
>old eceleb good
Yes. Frick fandom culture.
he was a parody of ecelebs from the start
not his fault dumbeyons thought he was serious
>dumbeyons
In English, anon.
dumb beyonds
as in dumbasses that go even beyond
idk i thought that in my head one day and i wanted to use in speech
was it autism? yes
Go see a psychologist. You're developing signs of schizoid disorder.
Old AVGN is still the only good vidya youtuber to have ever existed.
This is why I don't pay attention to most YouTubers except for RedLetterMedia.
Do they like nu-AVGN?
Watching AVGN on nico nico with JP comments on is pretty kino.
Niconico comments make everything better
>avgn asks a question to the audience
>screen floods with tons of answers
Wasn't there some anime where they put in him as a background character
Because he invented indie film making
What's your favorite quote? For me it's
>You're supposed to frick her, not frick her up!
>How big is he exactly? Well, if bigger than the Empire State Building isn't a good enough analogy, then let's just say, A LOT BIGGER THAN THAT FRICKIN' BAG!
Well when you get a piece of ass... that's a good thing but when you get a piece of shit, you don't want that!
>Its like comparing a solid turd with liquid turd, at the end of the day both are turds.
Im not ashamed to say that ever since i heard it, i use that quote on my daily life.
He has a lot of memorable quotes, right now my favorite is probably "YOUR MOM HAS AN OVERSIZED BOX!"
In hindsight you can really tell which jokes are Mike's
>I'd rather fly an airplane full of dogturds outta Hong Kong
>Oh, I know. I gotta shoot through it.
>shitload of frick
>it sucking fricks it fricking sucks it fricking blows it's a piece of shit... and I don't like it
>I bet you've never seen Dr Seuss characters do this
>Logic is for pussies.
What were they thinking!
>I CAN'T TOUCH THAT RED POT?
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
>BOMBS AWAY b***h
>i raher listen to my child drown in its own vomit
>that was foul, I apologize
IT SUCKS MONKEY FRICKS LIKE ALL THE FRICKING REST!
>What, you thought you could ride on a red scorpion? What are you, crazy?
something about the delivery on this line is so fricking funny to me
>This game's a bunch of poopy ass dicks...
he has the same kind of moronic lowest common denominator humor that japs do
>HE LOOKS SO STUPID! I MEAN WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM?!
He legit sounded so pissed when he first sees Silver Surfer
man, I hate modern James content. I want to like it, but I just don't know if it's ghost written by screen wave.
it is
Why is this website so obsessed with Japan?
an*me website
Probably because its an anime website.
>Site modelled after a Japanese site with multiple Japan-oriented boards day one
I wonder
>founded by an underage nerd who wanted to talk about hentai
but he then grew up to be a massive normalhomosexual
Why would anyone who likes video games not like Japan? No other country has made a good one yet.
You have to be completely clueless to unironically ask this question.
weeaboos are obnoxious and tend to make their presence known whether you like it or not.
/misc/ moment
good bait
im convinced theres a lot of asians here, i refuse to believe anyone white would be this obsessed with nps and their shitty cartoons
Well my anime and video games isn't going to fall from the sky
I hate japan because they love gays
You must hate the world.
Yeah, but I hate japan more because they shove gay shit in everything. Even straight romance animu always have some gay side shit.
Understandable. They used to make of it with shit like Macho camp and Okama, but they discovered woke money is easy money.
It's a good thing the rest of the world doesn't shove gay shit into everything.
It's funny how the progressive west censored the gay out of Sailor Moon, while the country that still hasn't legalized gay marriage, put gay shit into their cartoons way before the progressive west.
reality will always be stranger than fiction
Take a wild guess.
>cant watch avgn unless its on niconico
Am I autistic
I can't watch the old episodes unless they're rips of the versions that were on gametrailers/screwattack with the old intros and everything, it may seem like a minor quibble but its actually a huge aspect of the nostalgic appeal to me cause both those sites are gone, plus there are some editing changes to the new youtube uploads, mainly for copyright reasons.
Where would I find an archive of those episodes anyway?

Holy shit. Thanks anon.

where the frick can i find videos on nico that have more than 12 comments for AVGN?
You forgot to set the language at the bottom to Japanese, it will only display comments by the language.
Full motion video my ass! I’d rather be full fricking screen!
Wow, it's like you get to play the game... on a CD!!
Check out the graphics! Full motion video, as opposed to video that isn't full motion!
64 simultaneous colors!
12.5 MHz processor!
Holy shit, this thing is TOTAL FRICKIN' GAR-BITCH!!
>that cut to "so you put the fricking game in"
That always gets me for some reason. So casually pissed about having to play the thing.
Is Ganker hyped for a Netflix live action version of pic related?
no? what does it have to do with AVGN?
They also really like the JDG (French AVGN).
こんにちは、みんな!このゲームはくだらないろくでなしのギャル下痢です。ダイアモンド ドリルのように性交し、ヘンタイに行く WWE!~ さようなら!
8888
? !
wwwwwwwwww
What's with that anyway?
its like saying lol
the reasoning has something to do with the word for grass but i dont remember
No, the grass meme came later as wwww started to become uncool, people noticed that it looks like grass, so they say grass to refer to wwww which refers to the w in warai
w is short for 笑い (warai, laugh)
Just to add to this, if you ever see 草 repeated a bunch like "草草草草草草草草" it's the same deal. because they think it looks like a bunch of w's waving in the wind.
He's not popular in Japan. However, some of his classic first videos are so famous that pretty much everyone around the world has seem them.
What website is this? Looks good for learning the rune.

>2015
>Everyone hates him
>2022
>Everyone likes him
What the hell happened?
>tfw no kachou x nerd
Imagine if AVGN stopped after episode 100
Imagine if that timeless classic nerd had stayed as his own character I still think of him as that
Imagine seeing him show up in stuff like GCCX and Poker Night at the Inventory
>didn't know how to pronounce Nelson Mandela's last name
>though he talked to Steven Spielberg on AOL because of a two word response
>thinks soda is healthier than water because "it's mostly water but tastes better"
>was unable to write a 5 minute review for movie despite working on said review for over 5 years
>didn't make a cameo appearance in the new Godzilla and King Kong (his favorite series which are also shit only autistic morons are into)
>thinks using DVDs and laserdiscs are good for recording because it's physical so the quality has to be better
>spent 10x more money on a shitty movie just to film in California, when told by an actual director how stupid this was his only response was "mhmmm yeah"
>rejected million dollar funding from Kaufman because "real movies need to be shot in California"
>only eats frozen green peas and baked beans because he thinks since there's more of them it's healthier than eating one big vegetable
Is James genuinely moronic? I kept hearing he went to a special ed school at one point in time.
Seven years. He doesn't go into why, but because of the timeframe, location and well just how he is the money is on ADHD.
>>didn't make a cameo appearance in the new Godzilla and King Kong
to be fair his daughter was being born and he wanted to be there for it
Le heckin' wholesome James would never lie!
Trooners are so fricking stupid holy shit.
>trooners
You mean Ryan?
>Born September 1st, 2017
>Principal photography began in November 2018 and wrapped in April 2019
https://twitter.com/cinemassacre/status/903658061545517062
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_vs._Kong
His daughter was over a year old. He was blatantly lying about why he didn't do a cameo.
You've never had a job that didn't require a nametag at all times.
na-------------do
YOU STILL DON'T OWN A SEGA CD?!
Ninja Gaiden is one of my favorite niconico episodes.
They're all great because you get interesting insight into Japanese video game culture.
I liked all of them being shocked over AVGN shitting on Milon's Secret Castle
Apparently it's a kamige over there
I always loved that game growing up.
>ninja gaijin
I hate that video game channels almost never just "quit" when the decline starts and call it good, you can find so many classic channels still trying years after they're relevant. At least Cinemassacre can still pull millions on AVGN.
Say his fricking name
God man wish he was still there and the drama never happened ;_;
James is a charismatic guy. It's one of those rare things that makes me think Japan might actually have some decent tastes.
Mike said in a 2019 stream that he knew AVGN was dead when they stopped receiving fanart. It was one of the reasons he felt it was time to move on.
He lived like a windrammer as he fricked.
Is this still a room for AVGN style videos on youtube or has the market just changed?
AVGN is kinda soulless now, still pops out some good ones but Screenwave ruined a lot of the channel.
Jontron doesnt even like video games anymore.
Never watched nostalgic critic
Irate gamer... lol
People want sincerity. The era of "grrrr GAME BAD!!" is tired and overdone.
So do you think there is just no one has stepped up to replace the market in a good way?
Plenty of replacements, whether they're good or not is up to your discretion.
Shit like PBG, JonTron, Normal Boots people, even ProJared.
I imagine its because japs all think Americans only speak in SHITPISSFRICKASS so when you have somebody who leans into that stereotype they think its profoundly entertaining.
>make not so subtle reference to old AVGN episode
>have a good thread, zero trooner, mike's wiener, Ganker shit etc.
>put James in the OP
>flood of shitposting listed above
>2 hours of doggy style
>load was frickin huge
>smiley face Mike
Japs find screeching on top of your lungs funny.
Japanese dub of Mineycrafta with Gadget. This shit is still funny.
BUROWN BURICKURO
because they will never be western
