James Rolfe: oblivious to optics, loyal to a fault
Justin Silverman: any press is good press, AVGN: the Game published by Screenwave coming to Switch 2 this fall
By their powers combined they are appearing on a low rent culture war awards show that exists solely because Stellar Blade was mid.

Justin's from Philadelphia.
These guys suck so much they start to blend with each other.
So they made a 30-min, $30K slide-deck to let the pink hairs know that the Real Gamers™ weren't going down without a fight!
It's autism.
I hope some day that he gets tested so we'll finally know either way.

I just read Rebekah's posts and it wasn't a "joke", she wasn't aware of this bullshit.
I hope that's how it is, anyway. It would fit his character so far.
i was a long-time watcher of his ('til i wasn't) and i really don't think he's as oblivious as people are saying
The whole Change the Channel thing didn't stop his friendship with Doug Walker or other Channel Awesome people. He just kinda exists in life. Were it not for AVGN, he'd be a total normie.
Like, what drove them to partner up anyways, and could james have just moved on to a different firm after some of the dips with screenwave?
Also, look, I love Yoko Taro, but the dude can be a bit much for anyone who isn't into his whole thing, so, yeah, whitebread NieR is a feature not a bug to some.
Plus the big difference is that Nier Automata is a story of characters being *broken down* & SB is a self-actualization arc.
Or, more precisely, their support aim at creating opportunities for colonization. That why you should throw out nazis when they come to your bar.
But more realistically the answer to your question for the crowd watching those game awards? Boobs.
At this point, running an anti-woke podcast is unemployed celebrity behaviour.
In addition, almost half of the awards are just democratized pot-shots at games and people labeled "woke"

SIR ALEC GUINNESS HATED STAR WARS… and I don’t care
James, meanwhile, still loves filmmaking...
Where it's just him talking about movies/games/etc can be really nice. He just enjoys film. It kinda makes me wonder if he'd do well as like, a film professor.
I was just trying to find a new pfp, Magna and Yumiko's group had shown up in comics recently, and I went "ah hell, good enough", haha.
I admit even with following him since Screwattack, I don't know the man, but he always sounds so passionate talking about films.
He’s old and tired man. He has kids. I’m pretty sure he saw this deal as a way to keep making money and lighten his load.
Turned out to be a bad move, and I feel he’s course-corrected.
He still deserves better.
His shtick - and his copycats - were such a time capsule of internet history.
Seeing someone getting into it “for the first time” - is really interesting.
So, naturally, not a fan
As someone who “grew up” with the avgn character, and has definitely passed the “swearing is funny stage” - it’s such an identifiable part of the character.

Plus yes, he did do an interview with Craig when Craig first left Game Attack/Hangtime (that's a whole other thing), but I kinda don't think he'll be doing that again since Craig's spent the past few years right-wing grifting, lol.
No hate, just.,.go bald or fix it 🤣
Don't watch it. Your time is too precious.
Don't forget it was also because no one gave a fuck about Black Myth Wukong and Helldivers 2 didn't pander to chuds.
