  "The Wii is as old now as the NES was when James started doing his videos"....I....think I need to start getting my affairs in order.

  I live under a rock. Didn't know there was any backlash at all

  I once emailed James when my friend and long time AVGN fan got seriously ill. James replied and sent a handwritten letter for my friend. He’s a solid guy

  hbomb's plagiarism video confirmed emily's suspicions about the 3 part 200th nerd episode being split up as a sponsorship requirement. apparently screenwave had oversold sponsorships for it and didn't tell james, that must've been a fun conversation

  "Someone who thinks the best part of Scott Pilgrim is when they played the Zelda theme at the beginning" is a description that perfectly evokes a very specific concept I'm all too familiar with.

  It turns out the REAL angry video game nerds were the fans he made along the way

  Met the AVGN at PRGE a few years ago.  He was exceptionally cordial to my young son, who had given him a gift.  James even left his autograph desk to go show his counterparts the gift.  It meant a lot to us.   The counterparts I mentioned were Screenwave, and they seemed disinterested in the gift.  It was almost as if it was an annoyance and this show was more about them than James. I found that part profoundly sad. The real AVGN, the real James is a good guy.   I'm forever a fan after not knowing much about him before this encounter.

  What amazes me is how many people really have a problem with James going bald. He is aging, people, it happens. It actually adds to the AVGN.

  Honestly, the last few AVGN videos have been a major step up in quality. James is even credited as sole writer on some of them. That aside, even if the quality stayed only middling, he’s 42, has a wife and kids, and anyone who shames a man for putting his family first is no man at all.

  Even if AVGN and Cinemassacre had a drop in quality, James Rolfe is still a nice guy that stayed mostly free from controversy, you don't have to like the new episodes, but there's no reason to actually hate James.
