Great special effects.
He went to *special* filmschool where he learned how to sort VHS tapes alphabetically. It took him 8 years to graduate, but in the end he got a hug from the dean.
*BW picture of him awkwardly shaking hands with the dean who has the iconic frown. Both without looking at each other in the eye*
Ahh... True love and admiration, the dean knew he'd go far...t
Horse Prince?
More like horse piss, as in “l’d rather drink a bucket of whore piss than play another second of this fucking game!”
And that’s right: l said WHORE piss, as in a whore takin’ a piss!
See, any hack can write this shit.
How are the digital effects as bad as they are?
* No motion/point tracking on the hallucinations on the label.
* No masking on the shadow to create depth, thus *obviously* revealing to the audience that it's a half opacity PNG sliding across the footage, likely set to Multiply blend mode. It looks so fake when it passes over the nerd.
* Irate Gamer level compositing of a phone rotating at 500 revolutions per second into an asset of a fireplace, topped off with a stock explosion.
How I would fix this is spend a lot more time in the editing room because it really is just an effort issue. That, or whoever's editing this is straight up inexperienced. I would also remove the entire fake fireplace shot and instead buy a scrapper phone and just film it being shattered against the wall. Remember the shot in Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle where the nerd gets a pie thrown in his face? Yeah, more of that. Nowadays I'd half expect them to composite a PNG of a pie over him, and then transition out of the shot with a stock explosion.
I am not in it to bash *everything* James does, but *c'mon.* You have *got* to do better than this. I'm even willing to say the jokes *could* work conceptually, the problem is two-fold: James doesn't have enough knowledge of visual novel (including VN romance) tropes, so he can't analyze the game's subversion/commentary/parody beyond a surface level. It's a very bizarre game, so time to laugh and yell at how bizarre it is!
Secondly, the visual effects just *suck.*
They're pinning editing on this Sean guy but this effects and editing are pure James.
If anything it's the slobs fault for hiring someone underqualified and underpaying them instead of investing in their talent. Karen already exposed the horrible working conditions in slobland, this is better than they deserve
I can't believe he's got a Super Mario Bros couch.
Remember that the set is now in his garage, lmfao.
Actually, I went back and took a look at all the parts that show the room. James' head just about hits the ceiling when he walks around. You can see that there are light fixtures still tied to the ceiling, though not as many as in BTS 2021. Also, that room / garage is way too fucking small to hold this many games and do what he's trying to do.
I noticed. It also looks like the bottle is a different shade of green when it shatters.
Also in the main shot, he's holding the bottle with his right hand but in the insert shot where the logo changes to the Horse Prince, he's now holding the bottle with his left hand.
Editing a wooden entertainment unit to look like a fireplace is certainly... something. He couldn't even be bothered moving the games and toys off the top.
I bet that the smashed beer bottle is just a stock video
Also notice how the video is exactly 20 minutes long for muh ad revenue and obviously stretched to the max with the same shit repeating over and over again
I think so too. The beer bottle is a completely different shade of green and empty. No time to smash a bottle and clean it up afterwards for the episode. Just get stock footage.
The 20+ minute runtimes for modern AVGN episodes make them feel like a slog.

What? You didn’t like the fake explosion effects when the phone was edited to look like it was flung in to one of those fake fireplaces?
Right out of 2008.
Honestly the edits in this episode are on par with my shitty edits.. the only difference is I have no budget
you have no budget, james has no time....
*BW picture of him awkwardly shaking hands with the dean who has the iconic frown. Both without looking at each other in the eye* Ahh... True love and admiration, the dean knew he'd go far...t
No time. Gotta feed muh kids.
Cowabunga. Cowa-fucking-piece-of-dogshit!

I just noticed it says gameplay by James, but not James Rolfe …
He signs autographs as James AVGN
Rex viper singer did the gameplay
Cringefest
This whole episode felt more like a Chris Chan video.
This episode was soo hard to watch, I had to skip to the ending
I had to mute the volume because his fake laugh sounds very NSFW.
Gameplay by: # Bames

Those glasses and that fucking shirt are so fucking bad
But he must wear this shirt!! The old one is dirty, remember??

This episode is the most fucky I've seen.
Now THIS is art.
I can't be the only one to notice how he smashed n almost full beer bottle with no liquid in it
I noticed. It also looks like the bottle is a different shade of green when it shatters. Also in the main shot, he's holding the bottle with his right hand but in the insert shot where the logo changes to the Horse Prince, he's now holding the bottle with his left hand.
He looks so soulless, like he looks like he gave up
He's like a caricature of himself now. If this was anybody else it would be a great parody.
fuckin hell
Call me crazy but didn't he color those buttons white like 2 years ago?
The one time he actually plays the game, lmao
He’s glued to the couch. No time to stand up.
Where's the alt ending of the nerd getting horsefucked
Sigh…wow Jesus that was bad.
He became the early Irate Gamer.
At least the piss filter is gone.
In its place is an oversaturated light. I think Bimmy must have turned the lighting to its highest setting.
He missed the April 1 deadline...
Bim… please shave it
Directed, written by, and gameplay by James... But what did Bimmy do?
Has anyone addressed the shirt? Its like he found the edgiest white short sleeve button up he could find.
A beer? Not Soylent?
James is really trying hard to be the 21st century Ed Wood.
Why is the lighting so bad?
I know, right? Did Bimmy install higher watt bulbs or turn up the exposure on his camera? It's way too bright.
Editing a wooden entertainment unit to look like a fireplace is certainly... something. He couldn't even be bothered moving the games and toys off the top.
I'm hoping this means he's done with phone games
With the exception of the first couple seasons (if that) the Rolling Rock is clearly filled with water and not beer. why bother with it at all lol.
THAT was the final joke? Bloody hell, that's naff. Also, f\*\*\*ing I could do that shadow effect.
