Great I read you saying "keep it up" right after I just said the same thing and now I feel like a loser 😄.Underrated?......ppppffft SD even has a rapidly growing fanbase in strange exotic countries like Australia! 😲
Because all he did was read a reddit post and few tweets while giving a summary of a show to pad out the runtime and make it look like he did work/had something meaningful to say. The actual content relating to the title is sub 5 minutes
I can tell you got that image at 0:33 from CinemassacreTruth, bc Kieran is shown as a caveman. It's ok to criticize, even harshly or even just vent, but these guys are so obsessed, recycling and circlejerking jokes, can't get over a 40+ dear old man dealing more with his family. I'm no one to defend Screenwave or their produced content, but constantly using the people themselves as punching bags, especially after Kieran pretty much switched sides and called out all the shit that happened makes the hating feel unwarranted. We get it, grow up. It says more about them than Screenwave, just wanted to put that out.
"Don' you get the feeling that's what he's like in real life?" I'm pretty sure his Board James character was brought up in something and he was like "Yeah I was _that_ friend".
They were vague about it and didn’t really explain. So I read up on some content guidelines and made the edits based on those. They weren’t huge edits but I can see what they were referring to. Some of the Board James clips I used had some content that they interpreted as inappropriate. I was surprised but the new edits didn’t effect the video quality in the long run.
For the first few Years - Week after Week, I kept expecting for James to make an announcement that he Got a Job on a Movie or a TV Series and would be taking a long break from TH-cam. I thought, "Surely - a studio somewhere will be contacting for a project?" But that never happened. I'm still a little baffled by that...!!
He actually did (sort of). He had a 'role' within a 7th Guest based mini-series. However, despite filming apparently being completed and edited they couldn't find a buyer for it. It's current status is vague at best, but most assume that it will never be released meaning that we'll never know what James' involvement exactly was. Back to the series though, there are at best two theories; Trilobyte games wanted residuals which were never tabled by the offers; It was so awful nobody wanted to buy it.
@@PigeonPlucker Nah, not even something like that. I'm suggesting that a Studio like Fox or something hiring him to help on a Crew! Nothing like that ever happened..
It ended because James Rolfe wanted it to end. It had a final episode, the story wrapped up and it was over. The reality is that TH-cam doesn't pay very well. Unless you are just doing reaction videos. That's more likely why James doesn't have much time to work on TH-cam stuff these days.
TH-cam Adsense is the least lucrative part. But it’s still substantial for a channel his size. It’s James’s full time career. Add sponsorships in and it makes a ton of sense.
I have said for years, im happy for james as a person and understand his real life stepping in. However if the content is not good, im not going to watch it. I do question how much work he really needs to put into AVGN with screenwave. Does he just film 3-4 hours a week, then lives his life with his family for the rest watching old monster movies? What exactly is he really doing now? We already know screenwave is doing most of the work now, even if the work they do sucks.
A great tribute by a true fan! Your videos are always great and feel personal. Hope you get a chance to check out some Norwegian films and TV-series as well😊
@@ScottyDunn Some of my favorites are: «Trollhunter», «The Bothersome Man», «Mongoland», «Cold Prey», «Troll» and «The Wave». Also, I attempted a TH-cam channel a few years ago, talking about Norwegian films: youtube.com/@madeinnorway-filmsdocument6970?si=Ff4YWYR_q80XxLkF
@@ScottyDunn Some of my favorite Norwegian films are: Trollhunter, The Bothersome Man, Mongoland, Troubled Water, The Pathfinder, Troll and Cold Prey. I had a TH-cam-channel and did a video on the last one, including an interview with the director; Roar Uthaug.
I’m interested in seeing Trollhunter. I saw your TH-cam channel, that’s awesome! Are you going to continue uploading in the future? Love the set and vibe.
@@ScottyDunn Thank you! The producer of the show went on to make a documentary about our city Stavanger, and I don’t think he felt like doing any more. But I have been thinking of continuing making them just myself, and they would then be a bit more simple and shorter.
"Check out Red Cow Arcade". As they criticize James for being a family first individual. Anyone who has kids knows time is limited. They make fun of his appearance, mannerisms, the most childish takes you could possibly have concerning a fellow adult. Their content is not entertaining, they just make fun of him. How is that entertaining?
I think James and Mike Monday's started out with good intentions, but it became clear pretty quickly that James had very little interest in gaming beyond casual fun. - The elephant in the room you don't mention though is some of the bad shit crazy stuff Mike started posting when in charge of the Cinnemassacre channel. I don't think it's much of a coincidence that their involvement together started phasing out at that point. Mike clearly thought he was just being the semi-edgelords the channel HAD represented whereas James was clearly terrified that Mike was about to set him up for a Ghostbusters 2016 moment. It hard to deny that while the language is still colourful, AVGN has been in a slow decline as it mills towards more of a PG-13 mediocrity. TBH I think James only makes TH-cam content these days for the ExpressVPN money. The hardcore fans accepting that AVGN is basically dying though is less likely than James admitting he's gone bald.
It... it ended because James was insanely passionate about the series so he wrote an incredible ending to it, spending an entire year to write and focus on the production of it, even putting AVGN and other projects on the backburner. He talked about this extensivley.
Why is this the most underrated channel EVER?!?!?!?! Keep it up!!
Thank you so much!
Right?!?!?! Such talent and amazing content!!!

Scotty I hope you enjoyed my ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ENGAGEMENT 🖤 Interesting video start to finish, keep it up bro!
I 100% appreciate that! Thank you.
The entire video is just this unknown describing board james. The series is much more engaging and creative.
If you want to throw shade I highly recommend deleting that video on your main page first 🤠@@Borninthe9ties
"Don' you get the feeling that's what he's like in real life?" I'm pretty sure his Board James character was brought up in something and he was like "Yeah I was _that_ friend".
Definitely enjoy rewatching this. Thanks Scotty!
My pleasure man! The other version got age restricted so I had to edit it to make it more “age appropriate”… In TH-cam terms at least.
Do they state why it got age restricted? Or did you already know what to fix?

21:33 the guy from Red Cow is the spitting image of the Pawn Shop guy from Pulp Fiction, fully has the dude's vibe as well it's really off-putting.

Oh definitely. I really enjoy their content!

I'd love to see you play some good games you can still get angry at good games I promise❤

@@BrownElectrons agreed. Last few episodes were monkey garbage.
The last episode was even worse and it only gets worse just like his hairline.
