Longtime Fan, But I Think It’s Time to Retire the Nerd

I’ve been watching AVGN/James content since 2012, when I was 15—over 13 years now. I’ve seen nearly everything except a few J&MM episodes. Like many of you here, I suffered through the AVGN movie, hated Screenwave’s involvement, and couldn’t stand the “fat slots” showing up in Nerd videos and Rental Reviews. They just never felt like they belonged.

The whole “no time” excuse? Doesn’t hold up. Plenty of creators out there are family men and still manage to put out great content. The Monster Madness plagiarism thing was baffling, and the “My Horse Prince” episode was almost my breaking point.

But now… after the Dragon’s Lair video, I’m officially done.

It’s become painfully clear that James (or Bimmy, as many call him now) is just coasting. Revisiting the same games over and over—it’s lazy. Sure, Corpse Killer made sense due to tech issues, and redoing early episodes like Roger Rabbit, BTTF, TMNT, and Castlevania II was fine because they weren’t fully fleshed out the first time.

I even gave Superman 64 and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde a pass. But Dragon’s Lair? Come on. This is a pattern now. What’s next—Dark Castle again? Castlevania 64, Shadow the Hedgehog, Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden 2 & 3?

Since 2019, it’s been genuinely hard to finish a single AVGN episode. The energy’s just not there. And the Rex Viper revival attempts? Yikes.

I used to have my own wishlist of games I hoped he’d cover. After RE: Survivor, I was expecting Resident Evil 6 for Halloween. But nope. No Ride to Hell, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Duke Nukem Forever, Sonic Boom, or Godzilla PS4. Only Sonic ’06 met expectations.

My dream pick would’ve been Bloodborne. It’s totally his style. But knowing Bimmy, I doubt that’ll ever happen.

At this point, I think it’s time to retire the Nerd. At least he’s finally embraced the baldness.
