This isn't a jab at Bone, or anyone, but am I the only one who could care less about AVGN? Loved the guy for a few years, but after 2009/2010, it's just been awful on Cinemassacre. Love James, love his love for horror movies, but Christ his reviews have been garbage for the past year or two. I think expanding is a great thing, creatively and on line, but his reviews have been flat out shit lately. I'm really, really hoping he knocks a home run with this one, as I used to check his site with anticipation weekly and now I only check maybe once every few months,

Nostalgia Critic on the other hand has really turned a corner. Reliable and hilarious, once a week.

I hear ya. I root for the guy, but I also root for everyone with a dream. James just seems to have lost any intellectual integrity in his reviews in the past years. Not just months, but years.

But hey, if Video game reviews got him a foot in the door, he needs to keep it up. I don't mean to crucify the guy, but his avgn reviews have been awful lately. Not to kiss barnatt's buns, but if you watch his TC episodes, they just get better and better. I say the opposite for Rolfe's videos. I think there still is potential for the AVGN, but feature length movies isn't where it is at. With all that in mind, if you see a brass ring, you grab it, and selling out doesn't make you a sell out.

Those of you who don't care for his AVGN persona should still check out some of his other vids.

I think he should take a shot at doing a full length documentary or something. I'd watch it.

he seemed nice enough (as himself) on the Racketcast. I just hate the AVGN character. I have no issues with James. But I really don't watch much game videos anyway.

Luke I've got to agree with you about AVGN. I used to always check his site for updates but I honestly haven't been entertained by any of his videos since the beginning of 2010. I wish for nothing but the best for the guy but over the past couple years it started to show that his passion isn't in AVGN and he wants to push towards feature films.

As for Keith I think he's gotten better lately. It took me a little bit to warm up to the different style he uses in his Gametrailers episodes of Talking Classics compared to his earlier Screwattack videos.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, everyone knows you could care less. :wink:

Dang, I thought Inazuma would catch that one.
