[@K1ngCraft]

I love it when James shares a little of his past with us. :)

[@tabitinhacomentarista1762]

K1ngCraft I FUCKING LIKR ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD

[@karnbeer67]

Me to K 1ngCraft

[@westonglokner250]

Missed oppurtunity to call it. I love when James takes us back to the past.

[@supermariof0521]

I'm just surprised at how far ahead he planned. Like he filmed this room tour footage YEARS before actually uploading it.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Hell dude thank you for inspiring tons of people on youtube to even wanna get up, smash in the record button on a camera, and make video game related shit on here. Been a fan since early 2007 and still watch the fuck outta everything you make man, keep it goin \m/

[@CourierSix9]

Alpha!? You're a fan was well! I love you even more!

[@jackko21]

AlphaOmegaSin it great hearing how he got started

[@LittleHayabusa]

I’ll drink to that!

[@Tool0GT92]

James is a cool guy.

[@thejoker655]

Not just a cool guy he is an awesome person that makes all of us laugh our ass off.

[@mansonitefrank8887]

[@Max1234qwert]

Alessandro Muraro Actually, I think he does have a cat

[@alessandromuraro421]

Anch'io ne ho qualcuno e ogni tanto li trovo dietro le console.

[@OmegaChase1002]

you dream of a room of 1 good game for every 50 shitty ones?

[@Kleavers]

Who else gets depressed when thinking of the past?

[@xWHEETO123x]

Depending on someones current life situation for some people looking into the past will depict memories of an easier time in their lives or something/someone that has gone and they miss that feeling. I miss lots especially having more enjoyment out.of video games at the age of 6 than I do now at 21. I believe what you are feeling is fairly common.

[@Kleavers]

xWHEETO123x Yeah true, the older you get, the more responsibilities you're supposed to have. Though I still enjoy video games, they aren't as memorable as in the past. The 'magic' has gone.

[@TheGebs24]

Bilb Ono THIS IS A FANTASTIC EXPLANATION!! I could not have said it better myself

[@Kleavers]

TheGebs24 Yeah true. It's more melancholy than depression. It's a great emotion, but also makes you somewhat sad.

[@TheGebs24]

Kleavers I hear ya mate! It's kinda haunting right?

[@MattHossZone]

Re-visiting that 2006 room brings back memories of watching those episodes for the first time. That's how long you've been around now, you're giving people nostalgia.

[@jarenkilayko3910]

Lol this comment aged horribly

[@gamingreeses1452]

[@joetri10]

Mike is such a motherfucking boss for lending/giving james his stuff to put in the episodes. He's done SOO much for James and in return so has james. beautiful bromance if there ever was one

[@darklordojeda]

Not too many people really would take the time to do a thank you episode to their fans but James does it and done well. Thank you James for countless laughs and for keeping me entertained on those insomniatic nights. Not a word but whatever.

[@Esssential]

I couldn't have said it any better

[@JulienNeel]

Makes me proud to have bought your DVDs man! Little did I know I was directly enabling you to even continue AVGN. So glad you did. Love your work!

[@thevideogamevikings]

Oh absolutely. Good post

[@Haggy]

You should do Draw my life video man ... you are really awesome and you are doing great job :)

[@RagDollSam]

He almost doesn't really need to do a Draw my life cause he's already made videos and he's talked a lot about what he did as a kid and growing up.

[@DaGleese]

raGdOllsAM But it would still be really nice to have everything summed up in one recap. Something to chain all of the events together. Between the stuff he did as a kid, his early movies, avgn, cinnemassacre and now the movie James' story certainly sounds like it would have lots of ups and downs and make for a great Draw my life.

[@someawkwardguy1638]

Haggy Yes, draw my life! How do we get this to happen, James?

[@xAdunx]

Haggy that is for bullshit egocentric youtubers...

[@EduardoSaguy]

That would be awesome!

[@AStartShow]

Hearing you talk about how it was for you before you hit it big describes exactly where I'm at in my life right now. I'm working to build my channel but i'm still at that stage with the job and stuff, making videos in my free time. You have given myself and many other the inspiration to do what we really want to in our lives, just have to remain passionate about what we do. Thank you James.

[@RedPandaGames75]

Wait... A+start?!?! Well well well. Like if vids too.

[@kentkarlstrom9935]

A+Start some,of a glitch

[@Pedaissance]

What does James do for a living now?

[@MrFlamethrower32]

Holy shit...A+ fucking made it, dreams come true

[@lanemars]

Now you almost have 700,000 thousand

[@kazzdude1]

That's the power of classic KZbin. I feel like we've all been one big family or group of friends since 06. I never met the nerd and I never met any of you, but we all still gained from one another. For all the days that I needed an escape and a good laugh, the nerd was there. Through all the hardships, we were there for him too. That's how the internet should work. Thanks, James, for all the years of hard work and hilarious videos. Keep it up and never quit.

[@trainboy7]

Your Quite Welcome. I've always enjoyed watching your Nerd Episodes when ever they come out.

[@DaGleese]

Thanks for sharing this James. I personally am 24 years old, I'm working a job that is sucking me dry, and I can only afford to pay my bills and my free time is spent gaming. It's comforting to know that even at 26 it was possible to turn your situation around and find your calling. Now I just hope I can find mine!

[@PampersNorway]

In the same boat :)

[@Sanaefroggy]

You have the same situation as the nerd had, that's a connection.

[@nicholasperl]

Three years later - any progress?

[@frontxxrunner]

Five year update? How are you doing, DaGleese?

[@Kooltrex]

Any change?

[@Corristo89]

Huh, I had no idea that James had so many issues going on at that time. And yet he still managed to make these episodes on a regular basis AND kept getting better. THAT'S being dedicated to something you love. Too bad so many jobs drain you to the point where your free time at home is mostly spent just recharging for more drudgework at an unfulfilling workplace. Pursuing your hobbies or interests? Not enough time or you lack the needed energy.

[@Manice08]

although my youtube career is mostly over (at least for series and other video game runthroughs) you were the one who inspired me to do what I did. I created a humble but a fairly good sized fanbase. Had loads of fun and played games I would have never tried before, and had a blast. so I wanna say thank you right back, still gotta get an autograph from you at some point.

[@RunOutofGoodName]

Started as a tour, ended with tears

[@chyo4077]

Good thing i'm not the only one that cried.. Thank you James ;(

[@matthewdoud7151]

Guy deserves his own show on tv.

[@yourepostedinthewrongneigh1545]

Damn... I've been watching avgn since 2009... Almost 7 years ago....!

[@pyeltd.5457]

You Reposted in the Wrong Neighbourhood same lol

[@Connie_TinuityError]

Now it's 10 years ago!

[@alejandrom8742]

I still remember the first time I saw an AVGN episode back in 2006, It was also the first time I had ever laughed so hard watching something. I was hooked from then on and of course I knew the nerd would be a success, one of my roommates at the time watched an episode I left open on KZbin, when I got back he asked me about the AVGN, who was this guy and why didn't I show him before how funny the series was, and long story short, he was hooked from that day on too.

[@Musicradio77Network]

I remember that as well when I first discovered the AVGN (which was then known as the "Angry Nintendo Nerd" as a pilot in the first few episodes). This first run of videos was filmed in the apartment. His collection was a pack rat back then before moving in to another location. I did a lot of mess since I was young when my parents told me to clean it up and got mad when I wasn't paying attention.

[@TheliMagnus]

theres the moment you realize that 2006 wasnt 4 years ago, that is 8 years ago holy shit, the nerd must have a wall of fame on the youtube company

[@MetalGaiden96]

Technically 10 years now if you include his first Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde video, and a couple of others before that, which he said were filmed back in 2004.

[@Mr.Atari2600]

It's 2014 and he's still the best gaming reviewer on the internet!

[@RedKnightm]

you got a heavy dose of the feels my man, i was getting them too.

[@PomchillasItems]

True thing, I had to fight those pesky tears back because we all know that struggle. That doesn't get born in to rich family's or things just handed to us. We go out and get it. Some times it takes our whole lives or a short time in years. Depends on how bad you want it and how you treat those around you. Good day to you sir.

[@FatalSteven]

I remember every day after school during grade 7, I'd go to my friends house and we'd watch your new episode before doing any homework. If there wasn't a new episode, then we'd just watch an old one again. I haven't realized how much the room has progressed but I did realize how much better the videos got. And to be honest, if you continued making videos till this day in standard definition. It wouldn't have mattered to me. You still would have 1.4 million subs and a huge fan base. Keep it up James. You're one KZbinr I'm proud to always be subscribed too and will always support. You were the reason I started my gaming channel, and the reason I don't give up when I feel like my channel is going no where. Thanks a lot James, thanks a lot. Hope the wife and kid are well. :)

[@TheMightyDekuWarrior]

Best of luck on future episodes, James. :) AVGN is one of the most inspirational KZbinrs out there.

[@ForestGramps]

Anyone who dislikes this video didn't deserve to watch any of his videos in the first place!

[@jordanowen42]

We should be thanking you, James- you've touched us all and made our lives better.

[@Acdeportivo2]

How?

[@ExplosiveGaming03]

Acdeportivo2 You need to shut up sometimes

[@ExplosiveGaming03]

Acdeportivo2 Watch the video

[@Chriserino]

***** God you guys, acdeportivo2 is right.. it hasn't made life better, but it sure has been interesting to watch. Sad you gang up on someone being honest. Fun to watch? Yes! Make life better? fuck no.

[@Chriserino]

Ferenc Szabo so it is better labeled a distraction. I'm not saying it hasn't been used (by some) as a distraction from their struggles. Been there done that numerous times, just think it is improper to say it made life better considering :P

[@TheTigeressGuy]

"But that added to some of the charm of the early episodes." Yeah, a charm that the newer episodes haven't been able to match.

[@jeehoondevil]

that moment when 2006 was 8 years ago.

[@toondude78]

Damn. Time flies.

[@damianstachelski775]

9 years ago now.

[@Shadowfied]

Thank you Mike for encouraging James to make more AVGN.

[@gummi1]

I've watched for many years now, never typed a comment or said thank you.......so a sincere THANK YOU James! Keep up the great, creative work and do it as long as it makes you money and makes you happy, you've made me happy for long enough now. From a UK fan.

[@NorwegianBaron]

Avgn deserves an Oscar ^^

[@jennabrutananadalewski412]

Thank you James! You really have influenced my life! Your nerd episodes brought my creative side back out. My boyfriend and I have started building our collection. When we get to spend time together we are always playing Nintendo, or Sega or whatever else we can get our hands on. It's my favorite part of every week. We watch your videos over and over and over, and quote them constantly. We even started buying our favorite shitty games from the nerd episodes. Thank you so much, I really mean that.

[@JanneFlinck]

Lets hope he makes another movie, and i dont mean another AVGN movie.

[@Leikjarinn]

***** I want Board James Movie .. or just more eps

[@ItIsReen]

I remember in one video he said he wants to make a movie about the mysterious neighbor hood watch guy in a trenchcoat

[@royvf1s]

Makes things make a whole lot more sense. My wife and I had a slightly smaller apartment, the same crap jobs, some of the stress, and about as many games between us. Kind of like you, we sold a lot of our stuff, tried to make things work, got married, and moved on slowly. Hyperbole aside, you've helped me remember which games I rented in the 80s and 90s that sucked, and which ones I liked enough to buy, now that my family is starting out and we're looking to rebuild out lost hobbies. Thanks, Nerd. May hundreds of E.T. cartridges spontaneously combust in your honor.

[@OGP_]

So glad you decided to do this. You are the reason why I got back into the old games. Now I am also doing youtube videos on retro games.

[@jonnyjordan6998]

Man i started watching your videos when i was 12 and recovering from surgery, and im still watching and enjoying them today at 19, youre the best man, thanks for all the good times and please keep making more videos, you turned me into a retro gamer and the nerd always cheers me up!!!

[@TheDanzomanzo]

Nerd, you came from such humble beginnings. That's the mark of any true star, not a celebrity (those vampiric bloodsucking parasites) a true star. You've also been true to yourself over the years, haven't changed your principles or ideology, you've always been about the fans. Most importantly though, you have an incredible wife for sticking with you, even through the hard times. You deserve it all though Nerd, I will probably continue to be reduced to hysterical tears from laughing at your content, and I hope (should you choose to) for years to come, you will carry on entertaining us all.

[@Justforvisit]

This aged incredibly well :)

[@jboy32x73]

James has definitely come a long way. I started watching the Nerd videos in 2010 and I continue to watch all the ones he's made since. He's also the reason why I started to collect vintage games.

[@Wolfman12395]

This was 8 years ago?! Holy fuck I feel old....

[@adamcaylor2355]

Nah man, 11 years ago.

[@FreshprinceObelair]

Now I feel like a dick using Adblock.

[@g.k.161]

Words can not describe what an important part of my life your (and NCs) videos became. I watch your show since 2006 an now i realize what a long time we've been through. Its nice to see that you're still there, just to entertain us, week by week, video by video. They're just make me laugh like back than. Even when you just sitting with mike on your couch and play some games and have this conversations. It's like good old friends which sitting next to me. Thanks for all that and whats coming in the future. Thanks James and of course Mike. Greetings from Germany!

[@scrustle]

Cool insight. It's kind of weird to see how small the game collection was back then relative to how it is now. I always just assumed it was always massive.

I remember going home to watch you when I was in junior high. It's hard to believe how many years it's been since 2006-2007 but I've been a huge fan ever since.

[@FAWX]

james should do an episode with his wife!

[@IsoleerBeer666]

James you deserve all the stuff you got.

[@rickonami]

And thank you! For making these awesome videos.

[@Valnjes]

There was a time in 2006. when my life was such a mess, that I thought that taking my life was the only way to stop the pain... Then I discovered the ANN (Angry Nintendo Nerd, now-days AVGN), and ever since then, the life was getting better... Thank You James...

[@silverxstar01]

Wow. This is pretty powerful. It kinda gives a new feeling to the older Nerd episodes, knowing that you were balancing a job and everything on top of it, and still knowing you had the time and patience to make those episodes. Now I'm not saying I'll stop watching the old episodes, but it just gives them a new weight. Also, I just want to thank you, because you've changed my life in a way. You've introduced me to the joys of video games, new and old. I bought a Sega Genesis off of eBay a week ago. I'll be getting a 3DS on Christmas. I'm starting to look into video games and enjoy/appreciate them more than I used to. Your videos have also had me laughing when times were tough. Thank you.

[@shoresean1237]

I'll say you helped. When you did that amped-up version of the first fall in Super Pitfall (Sharks, Lava, rows of spikes, laser turrets everywhere) you summed up my feelings towards so many games. When I showed my brother the clip, he could not stop laughing. So....thank you for the anger, the fits you're throwing, thanks for all the rage you're growing....you could do without it, but we don't want you to...

[@reversal]

I request a Nerd Room Tour 2014 :D

[@robolizzzrd5524]

Aww thank you James! your vids always make me smile. It is so cool to see the guy behind the nerd too. You are a great guy and your crew of helpers as well :)

Youre videos are the best on KZbin. Thanks for all the laughs Nerd.

[@funkyopa2]

We love you James. I've been through some horrible things in the past 4 years. But as silly as it sounds (I dont think it sounds silly at all) your videos helped me to relax every single day and night and were the only thing that made me smile and laugh. I really hope you will read this comment. Thank you James, Mike and everyone else who made this possible :)

[@ParryDox]

How humbling

[@jamalcarthens613]

Thank You nerd . You have entertained me for years now . And I had no clue how hard your life was at that time . But I'm glad you overcame it and was able to to continue the Nerd .

[@rader128]

You are a legend and a pioneer on youtube James, you will always have a place deep in my heart and knowing all the time and effort you put in your videos for us brought me to tears. I have been watching your videos for seven years and I will keep watching them until the day I die
