Today's James and Mike Monday episode was basically just them acting like a couple of grumpy old men and talking about how nothing made past 1994 is any good.

>its a Mike shows James what a harddrive is episode
I played FTL at 26 and thought it was one of the best games I've ever played
why are you watching this shit still?
This retard would back up his videos on vhs if he could still get his hands on them
Mike is a sociopath.
Mikes not a monster, hes just ahead of the curve

We live in the year 2007, and they can't figure out that shit like that takes up too much room? These fucking things should be BANNED
After watching that video of James ranting about blu-rays I'm convinced he's the epitome of a boomer. He's technologically inept as fuck.
Mike is a nice guy and is good at vidya.
He's on a whole different level.
Kek, is he seriously intimidated by Mike?
BIG DICK MIKE
so what they've been doing for the past 6 years or however fucking long the monday vids have been going for
they are so fucking boring and only fun when they have a script i cant remember if that one episode recently was just one single shot or unscripted
yall just jealous of mikes big dick
James is a fucking simpleton cuckold, I am SHOCKED people will listen and follow this joke.
he fucked james hard with his 3footlongshlong
James feel dat stratching
Nice chins, James.
who cares about what 2 has been e-boomer celebs have to say.
for me "
It's like trying to stick your dick in a cheerio " or Bee sheventeen bawmer
>literally trying to argue and say DVD's have better looking menus as a bonus
I only watch AVGN, old monster madness before it went to shit, and when James just makes random fucking videos about old movies. The other content on the channel is trash and contaminated by the fats & Mike.
why retards always have huge dicks?
Just look at his hair. Thick and not at all receding like James'.
>Shit Pickle
This is when I should've known.
Isn't that the entirety of their show, though? They struck me as people like Son of Dob, who won't take anything beyond the 80s and 90s American versions of video games as canon.

My brother has literally the same age as James and still keeps up with games.
I can maybe understand James who doesn't actually care about videogames that much besides the stuff from his childhood, but it's pathetic to see Mike stuck in the past like this when gaming is clearly his main hobby.

What ever happened to thegamejew?
a drunk monkey with brain damage would be better than doug
It's amazing how that works. I'm 32 and feel the same way as them but plus the age difference. So instead of 94 being the cut off, for me it's like 2000 or 2001. Was literally just on the phone with my oldest friend who used to game on SNES with me before the N64 even launched, about how shit modern games are and how great they were leading to around 2000. The thing is, there is some objectivity to this. There are timeless classics from the 2D and early 3D era which had actual soul to them and see super fun. The same won't be said about a lot of these modern "classics" that will be a slog to play now and in the future. All because modern games only care about chasing the photorealistic visual design above all else.
I subscribed back when they made rentals.
Where were you when you found out James is a coomer?
Worst part of all this to James must still be forced to attend cons even though you don't even know videogames anymore.
Playing AVGN's still more rewarding than a regular job though
E CELEBS ARE NOT FUCKING VIDEO GAMES
Eh... they are both on the same level of autism in this field. I doubt that Doug is THAT tech illiterate tho.
Cope, zoomie.
AVGN is oldfag culture and that supersedes the rules
I think Doug is just a regular illiterate. I've seen that photo of his scripts before.
AVGN was videogames before you even heard of Yas Forums.
holy shit that's cute
I want to ___ this thing
in his defense, DVD compresses video footage.down to a point where the quality "suffers". He probably likes the slight blur or effect it gives off, maybe to.the point where he sees it as reminiscent of Y2K adverts.
Its not efficient? No. But the effort mire than likely shows in the smaller details.
EAT
he typically uses a mac laptop because film school conned him into thinking editing can only be done with apple.
Considering how often he mentions HD and clear footage as a good thing, I don't think your argument holds.
It's for sure him doing an outdated method and not even okthering to research and update to better ways.
I feel like I might become this way towards music. I have little respect for musicians not older than me.
Mark Hamill on AVGN when?
you just know
I'm really hard pressed to think of an internet show dumber than rental reviews where the reviewer doesn't even watch the movie he is reviewing. It's one of the stupidest things going.
You should probably broaden your horizons, it's a real waste to have an inelastic mind.
>1994
Fuck them, there are some good SNES games before and after 1994
Pretty sure James is the only one that doesn't give a fuck and might or might not watch the movie for the review, while the rest of the fatties all do tons of research before bevajse unlike James they can't get away with doing aomething with jo effort.
I can't even fathom how can people find mike's joker remotely funny
are you telling me zoomers are making good music?
Do not post rap shit.
Damn, thats wholesome. Melts my heart.
Plumbers don't wear ties is the most overrated episode. The Nerd doesn't do or say anything funny. It's just all direct footage of the game!
Was it autism?
What's "farm"?

>there is some objectivity to this
>my objective opinion!!!
They're right.
How is that wrong though?
Yas Forums approved.
Sure, sometimes it has to do with not having low standards.
mike was always cringey to me and seems that hasn't changed at all
James is actually fucking retarded. Like, as in he does not have the mental capacity for anything that has progressed past 1994
Did you know people addicted to the 90's can instinctively tell when something came out before or post it even by as little as a few days?
When is James gonna stop pretending to enjoy video games and retire?
He has mouths to feed, what's he going to do? Work at chevron?
Maybe work on things he actually enjoys
1 BIT
what he enjoys doesn't necessarily translate into revenue for him, look at that abandoned music playlist shit he did
its an even bigger waste when your mind is so open that your brains fall out of your head
I didn't know he made music kek
I just feel like he can do a lot more with the channel instead of phoning it in with avgn. Board games james was great.
Rental Review is his main show now.
Even the fatties went from forgotten z list e-celebs to c- e-celebs
Mike Matei is fucking based
Honestly anything you'd hear on radio or top 10 is usually fucking trash. But if you REALLY look around, theres tons of fantastic music much of which is done in more classic styles.
The problem is the AVGN is a sure thing, it brings in the most views. He HAS to do it, if he didn't his channel would take a huge hit. I think he is capable of more too but does he even care anymore? I'm sure he wanted to bust out of youtube and be making movies by now but his shot was the AVGN movie which wasn't the greatest. And now with his family and lack of time, there's not much room to maneuver.
Also, he didn't play music, he talked about certain bands he liked, mostly dad rock. It was not very good and only lasted a few episodes.
And my dick
Yes.
What music did he review? Dad butt rock?
I think it was ACDC and maybe Motorhead. I don't really remember. The bands on his t-shirts.
This is embarrassing. I'm the same age as James and I can't imagine thinking "I need to record some stuff with my digital camera. So what will I need? Hmm. I guess 25 DVDs oughta do it." He's living in the year 2005 still. I knew he was unironically a short bus kid.
If you ever want to see what an actual bipolar autist is like, watch Mike's streams. The dude SPERGS OUT every time he fucks up and it's glorious. He rages non-stop when he's frustrated and he's such a dick to his own chat and talks down to them constantly. I cannot fathom why he has unironic fans. Seriously, check some streams out.

>see an erin plays stream
>mike is repeatedly heard screaming in another part of the house
>complain that dvds have better menus than blu ray
When will James realize it’s not because Blu-ray’s format, but because companies are lazy to make good looking menus. Even newer dvds have similar looking menus.
Unless it’s because there’s no blu ray release, there’s no reason to get dvds now
Kek
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME
He tried. His movie bombed and he had to crawl back to making internet videos.
Who was in the wrong here?
the loco bandito strikes again.
He always has black around eyes like a 7yo when there's something he doesn't like. It hurts to watch him really.
No, because he doesn't piss and moan about it like dobson. Rolfe comes off as a much more humble guy
I know nothing about recording gameplay. Especially for retro consoles.
What would be the best for convenance, having the best resolution, and is more organized?
Someone posted a picture of his dick here. The nsfw post by phaser_on_overload
reddit.com
According to a leak. Doug has no idea how voice over and narration works. He literally walks around with a mic next to a camera to record his voice.
>E CELEBS ARE NOT FUCKING VIDEO GAMES
Imagine being this much of a sensitive faggot. Go back.
Yes. James is 10-15 years out of date tech wise. Mike keeps all his gaming equipment up to date because he live streams every day. The only time something gets updated with the nerd is if Mike does it for James. This shows a complete lack of care on James end.
I could understand James not updating his gaming equipment since he is more of a movie guy. But he considers himself a filmmaker. He should be keeping up with the latest cameras and computers and he doesn't.
Which was the episode of Retail Reviews that had a skit at the end where Mike has to pretend to get angry at Kieran for not like a game that he likes and he actually loses his temper but they leave the footage in anyway?
Holy shit. My dick is half his size
please post it I have to see this
I think it was the first one
And the first time Mike livestreamed he actually took a camera and pointed it at his crt thinking that's how you're supposed to do it
At least he learned how to do proper set ups.
Do you remember last generation when neither James or Mike understood that the Playstation 3 wasn't updating every time they turned the console on, but the actual game they were playing needed the updates? Or how they didn't realize that when you install a game on the PS3's hard drive that was actually a good thing, because it cut down on loading times? Ah, memories.
I’m not that user, but I think he meant this
I wish I had a big red teacher sharpie, so I could write "F minus" at the top of that page. I may even put "See me after class".
So they're being angry video game nerds? Noted.
Reminds me of the time my dad got mad at me because he thought I hacked the family Xbox 360 because an update came out that changed the dashboard.
He only has nostalgia for 80s stuff, and his tech level is 2005-tier, tops.
James will be one of those guys that will be asking their grandkids how to turn the modern TV on because he cant figure it out himself, while complaining how CRT TVs from 1988 were easier to configure.
I did mean that. Look at that vomit on a page.
Early DVDs had SOUL/effort put into that kind of stuff because it was them experimenting with the medium. New DVDs dont even do that, its not a bluray only problem
the bluray videos proves james has lost his mind

How can he be so incompetent
>I'M GOING TO SHOVE THESE FUCKING GAMES UP YOUR ASS!
the shot of him with the commadore box half way up Mike's ass, with him hitting it trying to get it the rest of the way in is an absolute side destroyer for me. Most of the comedy in AVGN for me came from funny shots like that. Another good one was the Sega CD review where he couldn't get cannibal corpse to work so he settled for a shot of his face reflected in the back of the CD with a look of absolute disgust on his face
I watched his Gradius III run. He can be all-right when he's a not bitch ignoring "backseat gaming" comments
AVGN liked the new Ghostbusters game on Xbox 360/PS3. He's not anti new.
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS
>Megaman's What. Where. They. Thinking?
>All of Ikari Warriors + outtakes
Nah man. They're just bad. I played and liked the same game they praised, but that doesn't stop me from liking new games. Those kind of people are what happens when casual baddies can't adapt to newer generations.
Pretty much all the good content had mike behind the scenes.
This is dumb. Blue Ray and DVDs nowadays have negligible price differences.
This is actually good
I love the older james and mike mondays, they always looked and acted like they had just finished smoking a bowl and it was 2 bros chillin. Now most their episodes are rushed short and full of James showing how out of touch he is.
the big boss man was abusing his power for a dame leagues above himself
The Little Samson video had a moment where James slipped and admitted to Mike recording AVGN gameplay around the 13 minute mark
James and Mike Mondays used to be good. God, AVGN and the whole channel has gone downhill.
Sad to see.
Unironically kino
I used to watch DSP myself. One day it hit me on how much of a colossal waste of time it is to watch mentally deranged people. It's just not as a quality entertainment as watching someone with good personality or actual skill. Streamers are dime a dozen nowadays, stop giving them attentions.
I just saw Mike Matei's dong and I'll never be the same.
I'm unironically jealous to be real.. That's a good dick
AVGN liked the Ghostbusters 2016 game though. He's not anti new.
>the fats
This man fights for freedom. This man is your friend!
blame the jew fat fucks
James are you okay?
OOOOOOHHOOOOOHHAAAHOOOOOOHHHOOOOOEEEOOOOOAAAAHAAAAAHAOOOOAAAAHHHAAOOOOOO
I like it
How can two guys who have known each other for decades have such little charisma.
odyssey in the worst tier
0/10
The AVGN character is scripted and has been since day one. That's why James appeared more witty.
James and Mike were never very good off the cuff. They are just two regular dudes. Not wanna-be stand up comedians like many youtubers.
It's early 2000s """""'''''humor'''''""""". I get it, but it's not funny.
Nice cope, Mike
Nice cock, Mike
There's various ways you can go about it depending on how much money you want to drop, and how good you want the video to turn out.
But even at the cheapest you would likely want to use a usb capture devices rather than recording everything to fucking dvds.
Tbh Avgn acts like a caricature of Mike.
You too would hate your twitch audience if you had one
Strongly disagree, Mike.
big beautiful uncut with a smooth head
>no homo...
Sort of like how Yas Forums hates anything made after 2007?
I don't know, most of them looked like cheap slapped together CGI projects.
I refuse to believe someone who would make and upload this has a 10 incher
"I'd rather have a diarrhea dog take a lava dump all over the screen."
eh i saw it. He claims 10 but he started at the 1 inch mark. I say 8.5 tops
are you a failed musician or just retarded? Then again if you are 17> i guess i understand
Typically, but it was charming at least that they put any attention to something that normally gets skipped over upon boot up
James was 26 when he said this.
youtube.com
I’ve never understood James hate boner for cgi.
He likes old stuff. How hard is it to comprehend.
its never good, cause its over used.

>"Football"... Not this "Madden" shit. Just plain-ass, normal, everyday, no question about it, no NFL, no year, not named after a player, not named after a coach, not named after the referee's pet goldfish, no quarterback, dime-back, Nickelback, simple, ordinary, unembellished, unmistakable, crystal clear, as frank as Frankenstein, as blunt as an atom bomb, one compound word, it's mother fucking, God damned, sons-of-bitchin', fuck-fuck-fucking FOOTBALL!
Most filmmakers don't use it minimally anymore, so it's rarely convincing.
cgi blood and stuff like that is shit, background cgi for mundane stuff is fine
no one hardly ever notices it

Iam 23 grown up on sega genesis for most of my childhood before my parents got me a ps1
Iam not gonna act like a retard and say the genesis was the best console ever
I admit some games on it are timeless like dynamite headdy or the sonic series but most games on old systems specially the nes and atari were trash
James watches as Mike shoots the fatasses from their own channel
isn't it just sad to see us grow up into incels and thots when once we were like this
Reminds me of those parents on social media that refuse to let their kids play newer games because OLD GOOD NEW BAD so they are only allowed to play the n64 on a lcd tv.
Do people actually do this? Thats fucked
>5 years later
This AVGN episode broke the record for the amount of laptops recorded too.
(pic of three laptops)
I agree with him there. fuck blurays
just two equals having a chat thanks to the internet
>I'M NOT FFFFFFFUCKING AROUND
It's the way he says it.
They're NES boomers, what do you expect? Every NES boomer channel is like that
>kung fu bandito
>bandito
oh
Why? Don’t you like blu rays? Just curious.
Somehow i get the feeling james and mike sort of suck at business and didnt manage their channel all that well. I feel like james signed a shitty deal or something with whatever that youtube manager group is.
its about the features not the quality. There seems to be less effort put into making great bluray sets
I feel like the football episode was well past his prime, but damn if the line about madden on the cover didnt kill me.
>Who is this asshole? He doesnt even look like an athleeeete?
pretty much same reasons he listed
-unskippable commercials
-shitty navigation
-no bonus features
and the lower resolution of dvd always looked more like the theater to me, atleast last time I went anyway, when it was still film
Some of his best episodes are after the HD swith, despite stinkers being sorta regular at that point. Tiger Games will never be unfunny to me.
I know what you tried to do, I see you wrote "&t=320". I've tried linking time codes to youtube videos on Yas Forums too. I can never get it to work either.
oh shit nvm it did work lol
>I just use a DVD recorder. That’s it. The game is plugged into the DVD recorder, and I push record. It’s that simple. But then, how you get the DVD footage into your computer is up to you. There’s several ways, but I run the DVD recorder into a digital camera which converts the analog signal to digital and captures into Final Cut Pro using a firewire connection. This means having to record it again, in real time, usually when I’m away from the computer doing something else. Doing it this way, rather than some kind of DVD burning software, allows me to capture it in Final Cut’s native codec, without the hassle of rendering constantly and having various tech issues.
THIS NIGGA DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO RIP FROM DVDS
Just like in my Japanese video game image boards!
I wouldn’t really call that a blu ray problem. It’s more of companies being lazy. Newer dvds don’t rarely have special features anymore and are just carbon copies of the blu ray version except the resolution is worse. I mostly kinda blame this on streaming services because more people prefer using shit like Netflix so companies don’t really put a lot of resources on physical releases.
I just like having blu rays because I wanna physically own shit I like at the best possible quality, and also because everyone and their mom is trying to get their own streaming service like Disney plus and I can see certain shows and movies being a pain in the ass to find later.
I still love his hate Bluray video where he reveals that he doesn't know that DVD uses a red laser, or that JVC owns VHS and Toshiba owns DVD.
Like holy shit you know how to wikipedia, this info isn't exactly hard to find.
>recording DVDs in real time
Fucking hell, this isn't VHS.
Use another program to convert the files into a format Final Cut likes. On a decent machine, you shouldn't have to wait the entire length of the recording.
fpbp, like always
Guys, did you hear the latest gossip about JLO? What do you think of the Markle fiasco? You guys like celebrity news right? I personally can't wait for the new season of The Bachelor. Have you guys been keeping up with People magazine?
Fuck off you dumb zoomer faggot, AVGN is more relevant to gaming than half the vidya out there.
Is it true James doesn't really play vidya or no?
half those people are dead or retired
and yet you still talk about them. Like soccer moms gushing over Nathan Fillion
zoomers are the ones discussing e celebs, because they can't formulate their own opinions on video games unless they have some spergy e celeb mention it on YouTube
underrated post
dis nigga quickly becoming our gen's andy rooney
>I am trying to come up with discussion surrounding a certain video game
>but my brain doesn't work like that anymore
>guess I better mention an e celeb, that will do all of the work for me
Who?
Yeah, by his own admission, he stopped gaming after high school, square in the middle of gen 5.
Is it true Ben Affleck has a problem staying sober?
>Iam 23 grown up on sega genesis for most of my childhood before my parents got me a ps1
What? You're 23 and grew up on the Genisis before your parents got you a 5th gen console?
Damn, that's actually kinda sad
He might have older siblings. I'm a Zoomer myself (1987), but I started off on the second generation of console due to having siblings.
How so, user?
>zoomer
>1987
the absolute state of e celeb retards
Huh?
1987 would be early millennial, retard. Not zoomers (Gen Z)
He became a feminist and made music videos for Antia Sarkeesian
DVDs? yep those were the days
I'm 25 and my parents bought me a genesis in 2001.
They were still selling those model 3s and cardboard box games were cheap.
i bet this is the kind of fag who would bitch about sonichu/CWC threads.lol
BEE SEVUNTEEN BAWWLLMMERR
Mike has access to James' house and could kill him in his sleep if he wanted to.
No. Dobson's whole thing is that he physically cannot stop fucking whining about absolutely everything.
Rolfe's an technologically slow autist who likes making movies.
I did one time. I tuned into his stream while he was playing a schmup I can't remember the name to and right when I tuned in he yelled out FUUUUUUUUUUUCK really loud I'm pretty sure his whole neighborhood heard. Then he stared off into space for about 30 seconds, hit the continue button and kept playing. Then I closed the tab.
Next you'll pick up Underrail and act like that game isn't nostalgiabait, too.
Its not that games are not good. Its just that they're not perfect. Every nerd has at least 1 qualm about any game.
Compare Rad Racer, Need 4 Speed, and Forza Horizon. Just about everyone who played Rad will remember it only as "fun" and nice, and will have some complaints about NFS and Forza.
lol
26 isn't old, faggot.
That is pretty neat, ngl
Glad you're miserable, old fart.

>shit through tailers
>DVD menus are all animated with no standard for controls/menuing and get in the way of you starting the fucking movie
Which video? Is that a movie review?
James really does like to throw his family under the bus, acting like sitting down for two hours to watch a movie is something he can never do because of his awful wife and terrible kids
JUST
>not getting a wife who shares interests with you and watching the movies with her as a couples thing while still doing "work"
truly plebeian
This is the main reason I have never used any social media since Myspace. I know I would just say cringy shit like this all the damn time.
This shit is embarrassing.

>not being a neet is sad
Lucky fuck head.
>child doesn't know how sticky kids are
Some kids are so damn attached that it's impossible to watch something without them. Even harder since most women are too lazy to even get a real degree.
The fuck do you think it is?!
I love this webm, it looks like there is nothing, not a single fucking thought going on in James' head
That's because you don't know anything about music.
I normally agree with this, but James literally almost predates Yas Forums and has been the one who shaped online vidya culture, so I think he deserves an honorary mention. Too damn bad.
The sperging out is semi-true, but he doesn't talk down to his chat. Don't lie.
I understand some people are tech illiterates and mistakenly do inefficient things that work for them. But this is downright insanity. I've been video recording since the early 2000s. I remember transferring my miniDVs to the PC. I remember buying my first capture card some time in 2004.
How the fuck is James this fucking incompetent? It just begs the question what kind of work he actually did? Or did he just get an inheritance and lived off that?
But that's transcoding and will reduce quality
There are more attractive e-celebs though
Based
Fuck You!
What were they thinking?
There are so many old movies reviews that i wish to see but unfortunately the fat squad is making me say no
