For me it was the fact he had to film himself looking out of an airplane window. He even did 2 angles which is pretty cinematic compared to the modern one shot.
There's a shot of him getting off the plane, meaning he probably had to get the camera guy to get off in front of him then annoyingly stand in front of a bunch of other people just trying to get off.
To reiterate a constant point of those videos: what's fascinating is not the overall decline of Cinemassacre (we see worse everyday with even bigger creators), but how weird Rolfe is nowadays. From putting tripods on ceilings to trying to climb a mountain dressed like a stay home dad with worn tennis shoes. The point is not that he didn't reach the summit of the mountain (nobody cares and nobody asked), but that nobody would plan even a mild mountain trip in the way he did, not to mention how weird the video is in general. In my opinion he always had a OCD (which explain his peculiar obsession to catalog everything and stick to rigid schedules even when facts prove that he should change course), but it got out of hand when he lost motivation (which in my opinion happened not after the movie backlash, but after he peaked from a quality standpoint with the last Board James season) and now he projects everything on his children and occasional weird side project that he cannot even complete in satisfying way in his current state. He also sleepwalks like he is on meds and seems not even able to hold a conversation. Honestly i can't explain all those weirdness in any other way.
The fact that he tried to climb the mountain with insufficent equipment is weird, but his entire lack of interest in the subject is really bizarre. It's like a guy who goes to Venice and acts surprised that there's water there.
he's always been that way but his probable literal autism has been really showing for a while. i mean this is the guy who has an online list of his 100+ "films" he's made with a double rating system...
@@at5297 It's possible! I had a friend in college who suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorders and he constantly had to wash his hands. He sometimes washed his hands for half an hour. He really suffered from this situation but later he took some medication which supposedly didn't help at all but made things even worse.
Something that kinda bugs me and really marks a change in James is that he actually entertained the tired conversation about Rocky IV being a Christmas film. Years ago James did a video on Christmas films where he made the point...which I happen to agree with...that for a film to be a Christmas movie, Christmas has to be a central theme. It's not enough for a film to just take place around the holiday season and have some decorations, and it is beyond passe to call Die Hard a Christmas film. If Die Hard is a Christmas film, so is Cobra and even the police station in Rambo First Blood has some Christmas decorations. It makes more sense to be more specific, require Christmas to be a central theme.
Christ, I was in Afghanistan doing overwatch when my fireteam buddy told me my wife delivered a girl. All I could do was look through my scope and make sure nobody got killed or blown up. Not saying I didn't die inside, I wanted to be home but, I didn't want any civilians to get hurt or murdered by the taliban so, I focused. Long story short, if James is that broken from being from his family for a few days then, I think he might be going though some deeper shit then I can guess. He gives me the vibes of someone suffering internally and, if that's the case, I wish him all the best honestly.
It's as if he completely forgot how to behave like a regular person. He never struck me as a MENSA type, but he also never struck me as a complete fuckin weirdo either. He always felt like a normal, affable guy. He just seems completely alien now and there's no apparent reason for it. Perhaps the lockdown bullshit took a heavy toll on his morale?
Perhaps he hasn't changed much at all. Maybe it's you freaks who have changed. You sit back and pass judgement like your god almighty really makes me sick. Your the worst of the worst when it comes to being fans.
+MrMacAwesome I know exactly what you mean br0. I was deployed on a nuclear sub when my daughter was born (didnt get to meet her till she was 4 months old) and it was tough but me and the other guys that became dads on that deployment all managed to hold it together. There's definitely something weird about James, his fascination with childhood innocence reminds me of Michael Jackson's similar fascination.
Is this some kind of a joke? How did your "fireteam" buddy know that your wife delivered a girl before you did? Civilians murdered by the Taliban... Sounds like something from the news or you was playing a video game. Its the drone, "heroes" on TV, who murdered and raped and robbed civilians in Afghanistan and Irak and other lands.
What sticks out to me is James didn't even bother to bring walking sticks and hiking boots... He's using a tree branch and tennis shoes. How can you more and less prepare for something?
And you know he walked right past a store at the beginning of the hike that has all the gear you could possibly want; that he could easily buy. because he's rich...
Midlife crisis? Marriage on the rocks? M’kids don’t respect me anymore? This is all just wild speculation but it’s where my mind went when I saw this video.

Stallone wants to play bimmy in a film of his life talking about shit jokes and duckwalking around philly being socially inept ,but bimmy doesn’t think he’s swole enough
Comparing the Park Bench video to the Mountain video is really stark like you mentioned. Just the tighter editing and much less awkward James performance makes for a whole different experience than the loose weirdness of the modern videos. It really feels like completely different people conceptualized those videos. Did he get weirder over time? Are we just noticing the weird stuff lately? The evolution (or de-evolution if you feel that way) is just bizarre and hard for me to explain.
I totally agree, those differences are like night and day. I'm sure the classic james we grew up with would, for example, interviewed a bunch of people at that waffle place and maybe make a fun twist (do you guys know what happened here? do you know this is a very historic spot?). But the james we saw in this video was very socially awkward and instead concluded many things on his own. Ether way it was a fun watch.
James' new favorite trope seems to be having overly sappy monologues at the end. Cue the slow piano music. Bring in the camera. Lower the boom. It's time for James' big emotional speech!
I thought it was funny how James expected people to scream Drago on the "mowden" and for the gift shop to have Rocky IV memorabilia because he doesn't realize that he's the only person there who thinks that movie is important.
I find it fascinating that the CMT crowd is like Darth Sidious on the throne telling these guys "DO IT!" And it's impossible to resist all the views. Soon they will fully embrace the dark side and rename their channel to "Bimmy and the Slobs VS Loco Bandito at 5:40 Mowdan Time Featuring Inspector Gadget's 10 Inch Dong"
I'm sure it's fun for you to speculate on this, but it's an unfounded statement. To start, looking at this video, 3,000 views isn't significantly more than our average. We've been publishing a lot of shorts lately that have gotten in the many hundreds of thousands. Not to mention, we've posted 157 podcast clips and 14 have been about Bimmy across a year (9%). No, the thing we're most likely to do is continue doing #shorts about much more popular topics than Bimmy. Though we do enjoy chatting about him when new news comes out, since it's a topic that continues to capture our imagination.
@@RedCowArcade 9/10 of your most viewed videos are about Bimmy, so it's obviously not unfounded. But I don't think it's a bad thing, I think it's honestly quite funny and it's hard to resist clicking on such videos. But it is a bit dark. And the CMT people are egging it on in the comments like Darth Sidious, which is also hilarious.
"Muh hiking twigs" Between Rolfe's duck walk, the walking branches, and him falling on his ass, it looks like a guy with palsy trying to climb a MOWDEN. Yeaaaahhhhh
At first I thought it was kind of a dick move to make fun of James's manner of speaking but the second you said "mowtain" and both of you cracked up I couldn't help but laugh too lmao
The video idea was clever and identifying that much scenery was cool. However, his lack of preparation and him wearing a mask everywhere is beyond embarrassing tho.
The weird part to me was he seemed SHOCKED there weren't crowds of people there or signs saying "this is from a scene rocky 4." Like yeah dude, it's just a mountain, I think you're probably the only person in the world who cares.
when the guy mentions his communication with Stallone, James should have mentioned his communication with Spielberg, since I take both of those claims equally seriously
What if it turns out that James doesn't even have kids? That's the only explanation for him being so weird about stuff like this- like he's pretending to be what he thinks a parent should be.
There exists a couple photos online of his daughters so they are real. I think he just believes that as a parent you neglect your kids as soon you aren't completely focused on them and this makes him feel bad.
The wife cannot deal with the F-bombs anymore emanating from the garage (also ugly holes appear at the back of age old furniture all the time, and it's not a rodent problem), so she threatens to leave with the kids as soon as she gets the chance, no wonder he is on the edge going away.
You guys are literally the only ones covering new Cinemassacre content (thank you!) Any chance u could wait til both of u have seen it to review? Would love to hear EJ's thoughts too (he'd have a field day with the walking branches) Sláinte 💚
i havent watched avgn in almost 10 years but i remember noticing he always said "buried" like Buur-eed ... where everyone i know says it more like "berry'd" ..... and i cant say its a regional thing because were both from the NJ-PA border area
Goddammit, guys. You hype up the "Yeah" so much, during his emotional moment, I really felt for him and found it heartwarming. Then he said "Yeah" and I couldn't stop laughing.
man I laughed my ass off with that impersonation of bim, it was spot on! Always enjoy these takes on cinemassacre. By the way what did you guys think of the "potential death spots" bimmie pointed out? I love how overly dramatic that part was.
I really enjoy the AVGN and retro gaming talk. You guys should discuss Tommy Tallarico and his Intellivision Amico scam. He’s one of the most smug jerks around. Posing on Ferraris and stealing millions from retro gaming fans. Big Ryan fan btw
Hmm, I gotta look into this. The last time I heard of Tallarico, maybe 15 years ago at this point, he was pretty much universally respected on the internet.
The scary thing is that it wasn't the memory of his daughter making him cry, it was a fictional little boy in a fictional film that Bim is so invested in that it actually makes him emotional. If Bim and his wife accidentally left their kid at home for some inexplicable reason, she would be frantic, but Bim would assume that his daughter would fend off burglars like Kevin did in Home Alone. He has that type of mind. Everything is wholly filtered through movies to the point where memories, emotions and scenes from movies become hybridized. He's fucking nuts.
I made a thread on the subreddit about how "mowden" really isn't a correct phonetic spelling of James' pronunciation of "mountain" since "mow" makes of think of "mow the lawn" and I got downvoted to shit, even though I wasn't really calling out anyone specifically. That subreddit gets fickle sometimes.
His "documentary" only gives more credence to my personal theory that Screenvawe, Mike, and all the other people who work with James directly don't really have any respect for him. Did no one at any point tell him that he makes himself look like the dorkiest dude out there? That maybe some of the more personal stuff or sillier moments should be cut because they don't add anything to the video and make him look like a sheltered weirdo? At points (double twigs, the mental breakdown in the middle of a fucking tourist path etc.) James' behavior reminds me of something Chris Chan would do. He really should be grateful that most people still love him to death, can you imagine someone like Doug Walker making a video like this? It would be an internet punchline within seconds. I don't want to come off as a bully, I wish James the best (until now, I thought that his output this year was a noticeable improvement after the disastrous 2021, even though it still feels very "Zombie Simpsons"), but this mowden travelogue was pretty embarrassing.
Thanks a lot guys... I can never unhear this mowtan thing. I watch AVGN while trying to sleep a lot. Ever since I watched this video, I can't stop loling at him saying mowtan. He says it so many times in his Big Rigs video omg lmao!
Too bad, it felt too short. I really liked your take on the BTS; missed the chance to dissect this thing in the same way. Keep it up with the good stuff.
I don’t blame him for missing his family. I miss my cats when I go to work. James needs to do another several documentaries of Dracula. I feel like he didn’t talk about Dracula enough. (I made a video of him saying Dracula for 8 minutes straight on a different channel.)
James acts like his kids are going to die if he's not there all the time. Is his wife terrible and can't be trusted alone? Does she have him on a tight leash? Somethings going on. Normal people have to go back to a real job after having a baby and drop it off at day care with a stranger.
@@gunsrtheanswer Pretty sure it's both. She claims to have baked him a cake for his 200th episode when it was clearly store-bought and still in the paper box; obsessively harries him to leave for home by five-forty PM; bitched that he couldn't have Kyle and Mike as supporting characters in the movie because they're white guys and that's not diverse enough... I wouldn't be surprised if she does little to nothing to watch over their children.
Its pronounced "mao-den" and it drove me nuts the entire clip that you guys basically pronounced it properly whilst mocking his butchering of the word. Other than that, great video, YEEEEEEAAAHHH!
Yes, my “mow-tan” pronunciation came from his first utterance of it, when he goes “Rocky got so strong, he ran up, a MOW TAN!” And yes the rest of the time it was mowden.
Bimmy seriously crying just because he is away from a few days is just cringe. I am not going to knock the man for being upset that he misses his kids but actually crying as if he may not see his kids as if he will not be seeing them for months is just over dramatic and like they said weird. I was like "man what a fucking pussy"
I wonder how much did he SUFFER for recording this. The amount of time necessary is unbelievable. James sacrificing himself because of his fans once again.
The Rex Viper stuff, reminds me of one of those 90s Christian rock bands, really fucking annoying whiney shit. I don't mind James, it's just he got old, like the rest of us but, he hasn't moved on with his craft and has refused to innovate in any meaningful way. I watched him for his monster madness series, when it was a passion project, good stuff. Hope he gets out off this rut.
I cannot put up with Rex Viper. It was fine as a one-off band based on a AVGN joke but it went too far with the band performing together for the first time live.
Sounds like James should just talk about what's going on in his life these days? Or not... ? Perhaps he's wanting to try and communicate where he is in life but somehow concerned to bring his current personal self into public knowledge?? Maybe this is a step into Mid-Life crisis.? We all reach that moment of maturity and wonder if this is the life we wanted for ourselves. Seems to me like he's reaching to connect to the pieces that meant something to him. I hope James just figures out what direction he wants to fulfill in his future...
It's really strange ... A lot of middle age men I know are suffering right now ... I agree, he should just break kayfabe and talk about it or at least try therapy.
@@raycerx87 Yeah - I myself am middle aged and the future doesn't seem as bright as it did in our youth. Sometimes following our Dreams doesn't always mean we get what we want or ends us in places we want to be. I just try and enjoy myself with the time I have left.
James claims to be a movie buff, but only watches corporately produced North American movies. Godzilla is the only time he ever ventured out of American cinema. He also doesn't watch anything pre-1960 unless it's a schlock horror movie. Dude lives in a tiny bubble.
Comment was ruined by “chef’s kiss”. Just because you see others online saying it, doesn’t mean you need to. You’re not gonna lose any friends if you don’t see it.
I think (and this is purely speculation obvs) that James might have experienced a mild form of altitude sickness. I mean, Wyoming is already a very high altitude state and the mountain range in the video is about three and a half km above the sea level. Maybe James was suffering (get it?) from insufficient oxygen supply, that is why he started getting all sappy out of the blue. On a slightly related note, I did climb a mountain with the same prominence as the one in the video. It took about 4 hrs to climb to the top, rest and climb down. The overall distance I had to travel was about 2 km, so pretty much the same. It was absolutely doable for an average schmuck. However, the elevation of the mountain I have climbed on is 991 m, which is almost 4 times lower than Cody Peak. So they have different levels of vegetation, climate, oxygen, etc. So I wouldn't bash on James too hard for failing to climb the stupid mountain and his weird behaviour. His biggest mistake was lack of proper planning, that's it. That being said, seeing James with those damn twigs was absolutely side-splitting hilarious.
It’s so weird that we’re in an era now that people just bully the shit out of avgn 😂 he used to be a god of RUclips no one ever had nothin bad to say about him but times change i guess
Classic Bimmy: Set a goal, failed to prepare or plan, failed in his task, blamed it on his kids.
fuckin brootal
You’ll die if you made a drinking game every time James’s Rolfe says yeah.
even if you drink only water
even worse is "Mhmm" watch his shit and he goes mhmm after ever three words someone says
Also, instead of the piano music when he cried about his kids they should have played Cats in the Cradle.
Or “Old Man” (take a look at my life)
James breaking down on the mowten sounded like he was getting deployed to war.
he acted like he was drafted and was shipped off to fight in ww3. I get loving your kids, nieces and nephews but that was pretty damn weird.
The "Yeah's", "Nobody's ever..." and the "What about...?" are just spot-on Screenwave James
Yeah...
YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF A MOWDEN? YEEEEAAAAAH A MOWDEN
Mhhmmm
For me it was the fact he had to film himself looking out of an airplane window. He even did 2 angles which is pretty cinematic compared to the modern one shot.
While wearing a comically oversized mask, I have expected him to put on a full hazmat suit to travel given his comments in the past.

I thought it was funny how James expected people to scream Drago on the "mowden" and for the gift shop to have Rocky IV memorabilia because he doesn't realize that he's the only person there who thinks that movie is important.
James climb a mowden?! Do you want him to suffer?
You guys keep making fun of James....
Do you guys want him to suffer?
Nothing will bother me more than him pronouncing "wolf" as "woof." It makes him sound like he has a crayon stuck in his brain.
I find it fascinating that the CMT crowd is like Darth Sidious on the throne telling these guys "DO IT!" And it's impossible to resist all the views. Soon they will fully embrace the dark side and rename their channel to "Bimmy and the Slobs VS Loco Bandito at 5:40 Mowdan Time Featuring Inspector Gadget's 10 Inch Dong"
I'm sure it's fun for you to speculate on this, but it's an unfounded statement. To start, looking at this video, 3,000 views isn't significantly more than our average. We've been publishing a lot of shorts lately that have gotten in the many hundreds of thousands. Not to mention, we've posted 157 podcast clips and 14 have been about Bimmy across a year (9%). No, the thing we're most likely to do is continue doing #shorts about much more popular topics than Bimmy. Though we do enjoy chatting about him when new news comes out, since it's a topic that continues to capture our imagination.
@@RedCowArcade 9/10 of your most viewed videos are about Bimmy, so it's obviously not unfounded. But I don't think it's a bad thing, I think it's honestly quite funny and it's hard to resist clicking on such videos. But it is a bit dark. And the CMT people are egging it on in the comments like Darth Sidious, which is also hilarious.
"Muh hiking twigs"
Between Rolfe's duck walk, the walking branches, and him falling on his ass, it looks like a guy with palsy trying to climb a MOWDEN. Yeaaaahhhhh
At first I thought it was kind of a dick move to make fun of James's manner of speaking but the second you said "mowtain" and both of you cracked up I couldn't help but laugh too lmao
The video idea was clever and identifying that much scenery was cool. However, his lack of preparation and him wearing a mask everywhere is beyond embarrassing tho.
I've been clean of CinemassacreTruth for months and you guys pulled me back in!
Muh Dragon in Muh Dreams is still sadder.
Godfather_Part_III dot gif
I was praying you guys would cover this genuine lolcow level content lmao
Pennsylvania has fucked up accents but still not sure about the Mowtan. Sick of James though, he acts like he has to crawl through glass everyday.
So would you if you were married to that moose of a wife of his! Sorry but it's true...
He was in a school for special kids as a child, why does it surprised you that he struggles as an adult?
Do that stupid Muppets face he does in the AVGN movie with the open mouth. It's beyond ridiculous and annoying!
I clipped your edit of James saying Mowden over and over into a loop and I can't stop laughing.
Bahahaha
@@RedCowArcade With that edit, mowtan might have just replaced "soupertendo" as my favorite mangled James pronunciation.
i dont view red cow often but when they make a bimmy video i am here as fast as possible
The weird part to me was he seemed SHOCKED there weren't crowds of people there or signs saying "this is from a scene rocky 4."
Like yeah dude, it's just a mountain, I think you're probably the only person in the world who cares.
Oh, misty eye of the mow-dan below...
Keep careful watch of muh kids souls…
when the guy mentions his communication with Stallone, James should have mentioned his communication with Spielberg, since I take both of those claims equally seriously
Muh mountains 😩
*Mowden
The Caveman Kieran lives inside that mowtan
Justin is the mowden
What if it turns out that James doesn't even have kids? That's the only explanation for him being so weird about stuff like this- like he's pretending to be what he thinks a parent should be.
There exists a couple photos online of his daughters so they are real. I think he just believes that as a parent you neglect your kids as soon you aren't completely focused on them and this makes him feel bad.
The content so many people wait so passionately for
The wife cannot deal with the F-bombs anymore emanating from the garage (also ugly holes appear at the back of age old furniture all the time, and it's not a rodent problem), so she threatens to leave with the kids as soon as she gets the chance, no wonder he is on the edge going away.
I cringed so hard when he started crying that I should probably visit a dentist to check if I caused permanent damage to my teeth and jaw
You guys are literally the only ones covering new Cinemassacre content (thank you!) Any chance u could wait til both of u have seen it to review? Would love to hear EJ's thoughts too (he'd have a field day with the walking branches) Sláinte 💚
When are you gonna come on the pod?
You have GOT to be shitting me. OSW Review and Red Cow are my two favorite Internet shows...
And we are pitching a crossover!?!?
I've ragged on OSW to review the AVGN Movie on NoggerU and doubt it would ever happen
No time!
@@OSW NoggerU of AVGN with guest Frankie Frain. Maffew can get tae fook for this one...book it vince
This is all just foreshadowing for the AVGN episode where James talks about Stallone Games with Pizza Man Sly.
i havent watched avgn in almost 10 years but i remember noticing he always said "buried" like Buur-eed ... where everyone i know says it more like "berry'd" ..... and i cant say its a regional thing because were both from the NJ-PA border area
Goddammit, guys. You hype up the "Yeah" so much, during his emotional moment, I really felt for him and found it heartwarming. Then he said "Yeah" and I couldn't stop laughing.
man I laughed my ass off with that impersonation of bim, it was spot on! Always enjoy these takes on cinemassacre. By the way what did you guys think of the "potential death spots" bimmie pointed out? I love how overly dramatic that part was.
I really enjoy the AVGN and retro gaming talk. You guys should discuss Tommy Tallarico and his Intellivision Amico scam. He’s one of the most smug jerks around. Posing on Ferraris and stealing millions from retro gaming fans.
Big Ryan fan btw
Hmm, I gotta look into this. The last time I heard of Tallarico, maybe 15 years ago at this point, he was pretty much universally respected on the internet.
Tallarico? That's a shame, he's a really good VGM composer.
EDIT: Well this comment didn't age well. Fuck Tommy lmao
the amico rabbit hole is crazy. they straight up stole millions.
Stealing what?
I don't get the crying part
You really nail those yeahs.YEAH!😦But I find it humorous Bim refers to the park bench video as a documentary.
Been waiting for this vid to drop lol.
The scary thing is that it wasn't the memory of his daughter making him cry, it was a fictional little boy in a fictional film that Bim is so invested in that it actually makes him emotional. If Bim and his wife accidentally left their kid at home for some inexplicable reason, she would be frantic, but Bim would assume that his daughter would fend off burglars like Kevin did in Home Alone. He has that type of mind. Everything is wholly filtered through movies to the point where memories, emotions and scenes from movies become hybridized. He's fucking nuts.
What lol
Everyone talks about Rocky IV bein a Christmas movie, but what about Jaws: The Revenge??
Totally. My family watched the scene where Sean Brody is killed by the shark while the carolers sing “The First Noel” every Christmas Eve!
A mowdñ! imagine him asking the flight attendant if it would be possible to tape some mics and cameras to the plane ceiling.
James is the old man of Retro Video Game RUclips. But now he wants to branch out into travel vlogging.
Due on the right laughs exactly like Piglet
I made a thread on the subreddit about how "mowden" really isn't a correct phonetic spelling of James' pronunciation of "mountain" since "mow" makes of think of "mow the lawn" and I got downvoted to shit, even though I wasn't really calling out anyone specifically. That subreddit gets fickle sometimes.
If Frankie and EJ did a review/commentary of the AVGN movie...that would be money.
His "documentary" only gives more credence to my personal theory that Screenvawe, Mike, and all the other people who work with James directly don't really have any respect for him. Did no one at any point tell him that he makes himself look like the dorkiest dude out there? That maybe some of the more personal stuff or sillier moments should be cut because they don't add anything to the video and make him look like a sheltered weirdo? At points (double twigs, the mental breakdown in the middle of a fucking tourist path etc.) James' behavior reminds me of something Chris Chan would do. He really should be grateful that most people still love him to death, can you imagine someone like Doug Walker making a video like this? It would be an internet punchline within seconds.
I don't want to come off as a bully, I wish James the best (until now, I thought that his output this year was a noticeable improvement after the disastrous 2021, even though it still feels very "Zombie Simpsons"), but this mowden travelogue was pretty embarrassing.
Well why do you feel the need to punchline it lol. It's just a guy going on a trip, look at it that way
♪ Climbbbb everyyyyy mowtan ♪
Thank you guys for forever changing how I say mountain
Thanks a lot guys... I can never unhear this mowtan thing. I watch AVGN while trying to sleep a lot. Ever since I watched this video, I can't stop loling at him saying mowtan. He says it so many times in his Big Rigs video omg lmao!
Too bad, it felt too short. I really liked your take on the BTS; missed the chance to dissect this thing in the same way. Keep it up with the good stuff.
YEEESS been waiting for this xD
I don’t blame him for missing his family. I miss my cats when I go to work.
James needs to do another several documentaries of Dracula. I feel like he didn’t talk about Dracula enough. (I made a video of him saying Dracula for 8 minutes straight on a different channel.)
"I miss my cats when I go to work." LOL as if that's comparable.
@@Bolt892 - true. He only works from home the rest of his life...
James acts like his kids are going to die if he's not there all the time. Is his wife terrible and can't be trusted alone? Does she have him on a tight leash? Somethings going on. Normal people have to go back to a real job after having a baby and drop it off at day care with a stranger.
@@chrisdryermuh cats
@@gunsrtheanswer Pretty sure it's both. She claims to have baked him a cake for his 200th episode when it was clearly store-bought and still in the paper box; obsessively harries him to leave for home by five-forty PM; bitched that he couldn't have Kyle and Mike as supporting characters in the movie because they're white guys and that's not diverse enough... I wouldn't be surprised if she does little to nothing to watch over their children.
I live and breath for your AVGN content.
Its pronounced "mao-den" and it drove me nuts the entire clip that you guys basically pronounced it properly whilst mocking his butchering of the word. Other than that, great video, YEEEEEEAAAHHH!
Yes, my “mow-tan” pronunciation came from his first utterance of it, when he goes “Rocky got so strong, he ran up, a MOW TAN!” And yes the rest of the time it was mowden.
I wonder how much more we will get. To what level will he reach in lolcow zenith?
His kids are gonna be really embarrassed by this vid I think James is going senile like he doesnt seem to be well.
He's slipping jimmy.
That’s very good.
Bimmy seriously crying just because he is away from a few days is just cringe. I am not going to knock the man for being upset that he misses his kids but actually crying as if he may not see his kids as if he will not be seeing them for months is just over dramatic and like they said weird. I was like "man what a fucking pussy"
James is finally putting out quality content.
Finally something as top tier as the Cinemassacre Podcast and the "Behind the Scenes" video
I'm gonna start saying "Mowtan" from now on.
This might be even more embarrassing than his behind the scenes video....I mean good lord the WALKING TWIGS LOL
I wonder how much did he SUFFER for recording this. The amount of time necessary is unbelievable.
James sacrificing himself because of his fans once again.
His time counter is on - 10000000000000000 years because of this.
The Rex Viper stuff, reminds me of one of those 90s Christian rock bands, really fucking annoying whiney shit. I don't mind James, it's just he got old, like the rest of us but, he hasn't moved on with his craft and has refused to innovate in any meaningful way. I watched him for his monster madness series, when it was a passion project, good stuff. Hope he gets out off this rut.
I cannot put up with Rex Viper. It was fine as a one-off band based on a AVGN joke but it went too far with the band performing together for the first time live.
Sounds like James should just talk about what's going on in his life these days? Or not... ?
Perhaps he's wanting to try and communicate where he is in life but somehow concerned to bring his current personal self into public knowledge??
Maybe this is a step into Mid-Life crisis.?
We all reach that moment of maturity and wonder if this is the life we wanted for ourselves. Seems to me like he's reaching to connect to the pieces that meant something to him. I hope James just figures out what direction he wants to fulfill in his future...
It's really strange ... A lot of middle age men I know are suffering right now ... I agree, he should just break kayfabe and talk about it or at least try therapy.
@@raycerx87 Yeah - I myself am middle aged and the future doesn't seem as bright as it did in our youth.
Sometimes following our Dreams doesn't always mean we get what we want or ends us in places we want to be.
I just try and enjoy myself with the time I have left.
Mowtan '96 on the Sega Genesis, are ya ready for some FOOTBALL!?
WRONG! Everybody knows Mowtan '96 was an exclusive title on the Souprtendo.
James claims to be a movie buff, but only watches corporately produced North American movies. Godzilla is the only time he ever ventured out of American cinema. He also doesn't watch anything pre-1960 unless it's a schlock horror movie. Dude lives in a tiny bubble.
Who defuk cares. He's a fan of domestic cinema.
Me: Hey James, what's the best landbase for Red Deck Wins?
James: "7:33"
You guys are saying “Mow-Tan.” It’s “Mow-Dan.” Bad job.
New video yeaaaaah
I knew that was coming lol
That James Rolfe impression is so spot on. The "yeaahhh" is just... *Chef's kiss*
Comment was ruined by “chef’s kiss”. Just because you see others online saying it, doesn’t mean you need to. You’re not gonna lose any friends if you don’t see it.
Idk if it’s just me but he can’t say wolf right either. He says it like “woolf”
I think (and this is purely speculation obvs) that James might have experienced a mild form of altitude sickness. I mean, Wyoming is already a very high altitude state and the mountain range in the video is about three and a half km above the sea level. Maybe James was suffering (get it?) from insufficient oxygen supply, that is why he started getting all sappy out of the blue.
On a slightly related note, I did climb a mountain with the same prominence as the one in the video. It took about 4 hrs to climb to the top, rest and climb down. The overall distance I had to travel was about 2 km, so pretty much the same. It was absolutely doable for an average schmuck. However, the elevation of the mountain I have climbed on is 991 m, which is almost 4 times lower than Cody Peak. So they have different levels of vegetation, climate, oxygen, etc. So I wouldn't bash on James too hard for failing to climb the stupid mountain and his weird behaviour. His biggest mistake was lack of proper planning, that's it.
That being said, seeing James with those damn twigs was absolutely side-splitting hilarious.
It’s so weird that we’re in an era now that people just bully the shit out of avgn 😂 he used to be a god of RUclips no one ever had nothin bad to say about him but times change i guess
