It's funny. Look at JonTron or similar guys, they put out like one video every six months and they do just fine. All Spoony had to do was like one video every month or something extremely reasonable like that. But he couldn't, all he could do was be a useless piece of shit and tweet about Dup all day and whine about April. He had such a sweet life, he could've coasted forever and now he's gonna be homeless or bumming off his parents / friends / fans. Very sad state of affairs considering some of the TGWTG crew have gone on to have very promising careers, even if they were less prominent than Spoony at the height of his internet relevancy.

AVGN was a big deal back before YouTube. Nobody had really done videos like that and gotten popular. It was an entertaining gimmick until the That Cuck With The Glasses gang stole it, tried to profit, and ran the shtick into the ground without making any effort to keep pace with increasing production values on the internet.

>>2114731

Spoony was fun for like the first year, but half of his good jokes were stolen from MST3k and he consistently let his poor taste in women be the bane of his existence. He was shit well before the Patreon. He basically stopped making videos for a couple years, and when he did make them, they weren't funny or entertaining. Arguably everything after he wrapped-up his FF8 review early so he could move out of his parent's house was utter garbage.

He's literally too stupid to realize all he has to do to maintain fans and thus income is to be a dancing monkey and put out entertaining stuff.

Instead he streams at 4am, looks miserable, and just gets angry with people in the chat.

I don't think he knows why anyone ever watched.

It's weird looking back on early e-celebs and seeing them literally just be a bunch of weirdos, most of whom are mentally ill, and they were just the ones crazy enough to post videos of themselves acting like lunatics to an anonymous audience.

I get that AVGN is historically important as far as Internet videos go (even though I think I wrote them off at the time), but people act like the videos used to be comedic masterpieces or something.

>I get that AVGN is historically important as far as Internet videos go (even though I think I wrote them off at the time), but people act like the videos used to be comedic masterpieces or something.

Imagine a twelve year old, who discovered AVGN in 2008, and was astonished by the games he played, because he heard, let alone saw an NES in his life, and found it extremely funny, because the man in glasses said shit and fuck(kids find that stuff hilarious, maybe they think it's more "mature", which is what Adult Swim has done, but I digress). However, now in 2019 that kid is a 23 year old manchild who posts on /tv/ and /v/ and remembers the AVGN as funny, so he would still be funny to a 23 year old as well, right?

Looking back, while I do not think he was actually funny, most of the humor came from how shitty some games were, rather than him saying fuck or shit, and I guess I feel a bit nostalgic about them, and if you think that's bad, just wait 20 years for people to be nostalgic about Fortnite or Avengers Infinite War.

>>2114779

Well in the beginning, people did consider Doug a ripoff of the AVGN, but then they had that fake rivalry between them, culminating in them having a shitty fight. Maybe the fact that AVGN acknowledged the TGWTG crew, half of them did movie and anime reviews, and the other half did contemporary games or PS1 games, so they didn't bite in his market, unlike the Irate Gamer who did NES/SNES/Genesis reviews.

Most of the scatological stuff has always been unfunny to me (it's hard to successfully pull off yelling out swear words and talking about shit unless you're the Tourette's Guy), but these parts I can understand finding funny.

As far as AVGN videos are concerned, I like them best when there's more to them than just yelling

I unironically enjoy his first handful of episodes the most. He's not even that angry. He mostly just talks while sipping beer. It's very casual. He didn't have a shtick yet, and he was surprised when people actually watched his videos and demanded more.

But it only took about ten episodes to form a character and do a bit every episode.

He had a few weird bits where he like beat himself up or did close-ups. He was a film nerd and made home movies.

Unlike what >>2114781 suggests, I liked AVGN because he summarized the frustrating aspects of some pretty poorly-designed NES games.

Games from an era where it was pretty easy to make a clunky mess and a good gameplay idea couldn't save shoddy execution, and you basically had to do the entire game from scratch.

Plus, the little Evil Dead style gags of like throwing himself into cupboards was pretty funny at the time.

There's just a big difference between AVGN picking on the worst of the worst NES games, particularly the LJN ones, and the ChannelAutism ragefit where they pick just plain mediocre stuff or perfectly fine stuff with a few flaws and spend 10 minutes screeching about how they want to genocide half the planet because they were mildly annoyed at a scene.

I can count the media that enrages me on two hands, and it's mostly stuff I actually care about and wanted to be better. Having 10-20 people all review 300+ things and 95% of the time they call it the "worst [thing] in the world!"

It loses the charm.

Same goes for Spoony, too: the first 10 things he did he was pretty chill. Maybe got mad at a specific section of a game. He recognized he didn't want to just be AVGN or the couple other guys out there who were doing the angry video game player thing. I think AVGN felt cornered by his name, even though his early appearances weren't Angry. Spoony seemed to fall into it just because he actually was angry at some stuff for being bad, and then it became a meme and he felt compelled to play it up, same as the rest. He never really fit with the rest of the CA fags anyways.

Honestly, for as much shit as we give them, at least these guys tried to do something better than bland Let's Plays. I find it astonishing that AVGN is a cuck stuck doing a character he made up 15 years ago, Spoony went crazy, and most of the rest fucked-off.

The ones who tried to turn it into a business like Nostalgia Critic got boned the worst; ruined by their own greed.

Meanwhile DipShitPhil and WingsOfREEEEdemption are literally still chugging along when they never even tried to put effort in. I'll take edited reviews with an attempt at humor over hours and hours of morons playing shit.

It was never going to last, but I think there's some genuinely good entertainment in the early years, usually when they're actually having a good time and just trying to unearth and explain some obscure piece of media that was mostly forgotten.

AVGN deserves the credit for basically inventing the whole "reviews as entertainment" thing in the internet context, and he ended up being the nicest and most sane out of all of them, and the least greedy. His trainwreck of a personal life aside, that's a good legacy. He's a lot better off than the rest, that's for sure.

And maybe it's shitty to be nostalgic for the internet of old when AVGN was novel, but it brings me back to the better years, and to the ones before them when I played games without another care in the world.

And it's good to know somebody else out there struggled to get past the first stage of some of those older games. I know I did. And he expresses that frustration well. At least, he used to. Before the shit-flinging Jesus robots and Mr. Buckets that ate your dick.

This summarises it really well. I always appreciated that the AVGN would actually attempt to beat the game and show in detail how fucked things could get.

Ross's Gaming Dungeon has the same thing going for it. It's cool seeing content that you otherwise likely never would. Like the time Ross beat Polaris by changing the CPU speeds.

It helps that, unlike the entire That Guy With the Glasses site, AVGN didn't look or sound like an obnoxious faggot.

As for lets players and DSP, I'm convinced DSP is popular solely because of the even worse channels that put so much effort into nitpicking everything he does, it's like a worse EFAP which is already terrible considering 2/3 members of that podcast are usually obnoxious faggots.

I definitely agree. It's just him talking about games that he has memories of genuinely frustrating him and without any gimmicks involved.

>There's just a big difference between AVGN picking on the worst of the worst NES games, particularly the LJN ones, and the ChannelAutism ragefit where they pick just plain mediocre stuff or perfectly fine stuff with a few flaws and spend 10 minutes screeching about how they want to genocide half the planet because they were mildly annoyed at a scene.

That's basically what the AVGN eventually became. The fact that he covered the Die Hard NES game is a good example of that. From what I played, the game seemed pretty ahead of its time other than the crappy controls. I also seem to recall an offhand comment ripping on North & South on one video, despite it being one of the best two-player games on the system. A more obvious example would be The Adventure of Link, which is definitely a solid game (and James Rolfe even admitted that from what I remember) that people only like to crap on for being so different from the rest of the series.

>I find it astonishing that AVGN is a cuck stuck doing a character he made up 15 years ago,

I wish he'd just give up the character and put more time into his movie stuff. It's obvious that's where his passion is, even if the money isn't there. I think his scripted solo videos where he talks about things like the cardboard on the lamp in Dracula or the Psycho house are among the best things he's ever done. It would have helped him financially if he hadn't blown his AVGN movie budget wastefully on stupid things (like going all the way out to California and shooting at Vasquez Rocks) just so he could feel like a real live director man.

The movie was huge train wreck. He should have gone with his original premise which was about the AVGN character being stuck in the past and coming to terms with the modern world and end the character there. Instead he made it this retarded piece of self-wankery. I'm not sure why he changed it.

>>2115202

>DSP is bad because of the channels that feed off him

Probably true. Even he's realized it (or, more likely, had it explained to him by his chat) and a lot of the new videos even use a clip where he says he's "fine with it" and probably "gets views" from curious people who see him play from re-edits.

I think their success is solely due to the original This Is How You Don't Play MGS2 video. Which, to be fair, that and the MGS3 one are genuinely funny and showcase just how retarded he can be at his worst. But the videos now are like 5 hours long of just him being an unfunny asshole. If they really want to mock him, they're better off just doing 5 minute recaps where it shows him being told "do X, here's how", him saying "I don't need to listen to this", followed by "it never told me…!", which is a pretty common cycle for him. That or blaming controls for stuff he obviously did. But he does it so often it's not even really funny anymore.

That said, him and Spoony are perfect examples of something I've noticed: there is a floor to fandom, and it's hard to drop below it. Some people just associate with the brand. They'll watch TV shows on their 25th season. They'd never watch an identical show with a different name, but they'll keep watching that one even as the quality goes off a cliff. They'll insist "I like it" until the end of time.

The consolation is that both Spoony and DSP are screwed and it's their own fault. They've hit a point where the only way to get less money is to just stop their low-effort output. Neither is motivated to raise the bar of quality and try to attract new viewers that way. So their only option is to keep doing their zombie lives streaming for 10 hours a day to appease a small but reliable audience OR they can try quitting and getting a real job or trying something new. They won't do that, either, so being gameslaves it is.

>>2115213

>he should quit and focus on film stuff

I'd agree but he already is trying to do that by stealing RLM's bad movie roundtable deal, and his execution is worse, mainly because his friends just kinda suck by comparison and it lacks the self-awareness.

RLM had the sense to drop the Plinkett thing when it hit peak attention and transition into regular film reviews and watching bad movies.

James hasn't progressed as a film-maker in a decade, either. He's still doing stock explosions and effects packs and his stuff still looks amateur.

Any one of us, with a couple grand and some time spent learning to mess with it, could make something on-par with a low-budget TV show, and we could do it ourselves at home now.

RLM has an actual warehouse to shoot at, builds actual sets, and occasionally even does actual practical effects. James occasionally does a small practical effect.

Any YouTuber getting a paycheck from Google has the ability to invest in this stuff but few do.

James didn't and now his shtick is old and there's some other "amateur film-makers" who are doing a better job transitioning to real work.

>I'd agree but he already is trying to do that by stealing RLM's bad movie roundtable deal, and his execution is worse, mainly because his friends just kinda suck by comparison and it lacks the self-awareness.

They could be much better if he'd get some collaborators who are funnier and have better chemistry instead of just using the Screenwave guys just because they're there and are willing to do it to help out. Justin in particular seems like a dickhead, even if he has knowledge in certain niches (while not being well-rounded overall in anything but a physical sense).

His solo videos are way better, but I understand that he's tired of doing most of the work himself.

That's absolutely true. I honestly don't think he has it in him to make "serious" movies unless he does a 180-degree turn and decides to become his own worst critic. The best movie-related things he's done have been little projects like The Dragon in My Dreams and that Sleepy Hollow video rather than stuff where he seems like he's consciously trying to be a "real" filmmaker.

While he's relatively untalented, movies seem to be his greatest interest and seem like they'd be the best path for him to pursue in regard to him not getting burned out.

I don't think it was that. Originally it was just gonna be a simple "Revenge of the Nerds" type comedy but his wife and the guy who co-wrote the script for the movie with him kept egging him on to "go big or go home" and try to make the movie deeper than it should have been.
