This is my favorite James and Mike moment... Hours of preamble and setup. Tons of tinkering and anticipating. Finally, they get it working! Mike asks, "how does it look?" James replies, "it looks like shit!" Hahahhahahahahahaha!! I love you guys!
Ry Fra C'mon, let's be real here. Did you really think after watching that that there was any possible chance that they knew it had dipswitch modes? It's James and Mike we're talkin' about here. LoL.
I feel like you two messing with the aura interactor has potential to be hysterical, and thanks for the quick response. Love James and Mike Monday's, and I love your reviews Mike!
Cinemassacre Here is a list of some strange consoles/hardware from the 80s. Apologies if you've touched upon one or two. Here ya go!

Hello, james Rolfe. I want to play a game... and it's Dr Jekyll and mr Hyde on the victormaxx. I have one for you which I personally modified to be compatible with the nes. It has ten pound weights duct taped to each side with no shoulder bar and extra cords that don't connect to anything unless you own a ww2 era toaster from Taiwan. The only way to remove the headset is to beat the game which will release the locking bolts around your cranium. But after 6 hours this mechanism will shut down. Leaving you to review the same shitty game until you die. Do you have what it takes? Do you hold the missing Tetris piece of the human puzzle? The one that so many gamers neglect by giving up on a game? - jagsaw (as in Atari jaguar)
From now on, ANY resume I take into a potential business where I may work will have, "The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse," as my hero or greatest influence.
You were missing one of the "squids." There is one for Genesis and one for SNES. $400 for that thing years ago! Can you imagine buying this thing in 1993!? I would have been PISSED! You can buy like 10 games for that price!
I figured out what the stick was for, guys! The little thing on the side of the headset that the stick hooks into spins. When you turn your head left and right, it causes the stick to move, causing the thing to spin, which then causes the perspective changes in the little screen in the headset. Also the reason you couldn't hook it to the SNES is that you were missing a set of cords (or maybe you had the cords and just didn't know what to do with them). That set of squid cords you've got hooked to the main cord is only for Genesis. You can remove this via that middle joint thing and replace it with another set of squid cords that has SNES-compatible hookups instead. PLEASE do a redo on this thing and do it a bit more justice. I mean, you've gotta warn the people. This assload of shit can cause fucking vertigo as well as headaches! It can be legitimately worse than what you've made it out to be here!
I found one of these last year at a flea market. It came with the SNES cord you guys were missing, so it DOES play snes games. I've done it and it kinda works with super mario world. KINDA.
I think these kind of videos have a certain appeal to them that the standard AVGN episodes don't. They're unscripted and completely honest, so what you see is what really happens. There's something to be said about two guys playing shitty games without a script dictating what they're saying, and I think it's one of the reasons Game Grumps has gotten so popular.
I love watching this vid over and over. They spend like an hour setting it up and give up playing in thirty seconds to keep from going blind. Beautiful.
12:56 You can just see the hope leave his face at the realization of what all his hard work was for. Even with half his head covered by that monstrosity you can see all that you need to get the picture.
This video is AMAZING, a perfect encapsulation of the frustration of hooking up obscure peripherals and dealing with wire squids!!!! Victormaxx's philosophy of life quote is one of the most bizarre and awesome sentences ever, & the realization regarding the function of that weird "stick with a clip on it" thing is absolutely priceless!!!!
my dads friend was the owner of that company. i had a couple growing up, its a piece of trash. that rod is used to determine the orientation of your head if I am not mistake, and there is another dongle that is used for the snes you are missing. But yeah it blew, just figured I would share my info with you
The funniest part to me was when Mike at the end is trying it...and he lifts it up off his face for a second and his face is all red and beat up and his eyes are wrecked like he's been at it for days straight hahaha
I have one of those, well, I think I still have it. The stick thing activates the little actuator on the side of the headset and depending on what mode one of the dipswitches on the bottom of the headset is set to, changes what buttons it pushes when you turn your head. The idea is you could play like Doom and set it so when you turn your head you turn side to side or something. Also the thing is awful and uncomfortable as fuck. Edit: to work with the SNES you needed the Nintendoctopus cable, the Sega Squid is a different connector. The controller connections on the cable were a passthrough to allow the little shoulder stick activate inputs. The only use for the thing was probably to have a personal screen, but it was like a 240i display or some shit so you can't read ANY text, and it had a bunch of overscan so you couldn't see the edges of the display. The thing is, indeed, a piece of fucking shit. And it was my Christmas one time.
DarthRushy He did a Christmas episode about the Sega Genesis accessories from last year including this one. It has a lot of slapstick to it. It was a fun episode, and it's worth checking it out.
funny you should mention that, the actual design of the thing was based on a medieval torture tool, that was used to compress the skull until it exploded.
It’s a shame we likely won’t have these types of videos anymore. I hope Mike will show up here and there with James on the channel, but I doubt it’ll be as consistent like it was before.
The stick registers your head movements as controlling the game, for first person shooters. You tilt your head one way, it moves the stick and registers you as pushing that direction on the d-pad.
Just remember: You can always find almost any instruction manual on internet. That's how i learned to use the oven on my home stove. And re-programed the universal remote supposedly paired to one of the AC units.
The 9-pin port on the back of the Megadrive is a serial port, I think it was used to connect two systems for some multiplayer games, and for a modem that was released in Japan.

😅😂🤣 sounds about right!
Probably the greatest review ever done
They had more fun with that clamp and stick than the victormaxx itself lol
This felt like a Nerd episode in it's own weird way
This is easily my favorite James & Mike video, the part where Mike clips the thing to his shirt gets me everytime.
SAME DUDE GET ME TOO MAN!
Eddie Spaghetti what is this from ? really 2012 or they filmed it earlier?
They have great chemistry
"WHAT'S GOING ON, GUYS? WHAT'S GOING ON?"
This makes the Virtual Boy look like the Oculus Rift.
How
tucker lacey lol
nvm i know how
Mr.Welbig659 lmao
this makes R zone look like Gameboy Color
Mike's sudden realisation on what the stick's purpose is never fails to make me lose my shit.
Mike in every single video: "It's like, fuckin', like, it's almost like, fuckin', like..."
I know right.
He's so right
I miss Mike 😭

You're missing the instructions and you're missing a set of connectors for the NES
I love watching you guys fuck about with the more obscure gaming accessories.
Cinemassacre You didn't even play with the dipswitch modes after all that trouble?? Could of changed the view or brightness...
Ry Fra C'mon, let's be real here. Did you really think after watching that that there was any possible chance that they knew it had dipswitch modes? It's James and Mike we're talkin' about here. LoL.
Metafron hahahaha but they showed the dipswitches in the video!? How could they not test it out.
the stick deserves its own episode
rly
Just to wack people with.
@@MegaAnimazing they said you gatta stick it up your ass
Don't know why, but this is one of my favorite videos! The resume, them figuring out how to hook it up, all is great!
I am begging you to at least once a month, do a hardware thing like this on James and Mike Mondays. Please. PLEASE, YOU FUCKS!
August Keller We probably will at some point. Anything in particular ?
-Mike
I feel like you two messing with the aura interactor has potential to be hysterical, and thanks for the quick response. Love James and Mike Monday's, and I love your reviews Mike!
Cinemassacre
Here is a list of some strange consoles/hardware from the 80s.
Apologies if you've touched upon one or two.
Here ya go!
Emerson Arcadia 2--1
Entex Adventure Vision
GCE Vectrex
Casio PV-1000
Gakken Compact Vision (oh my goodness, not making that one up! gekken probably was not the same meaning as nowadays)
Nichibutsu My Vision
Tomy Pyuuta Jr.
Epoch Super Casette Vision
Really enjoying everything cinemassacre does :) Thanks gentlemen.
I could get some from the 90s if you'd prefer!
Lizzifer7 Thats a pretty wicked and relatively comprehensive list! Nicely done!
thank you, it's mostly hardware though, had a hard time finding "add ons" for the nes or snes or segas that they haven't done yet.
Thanks again :D
This would make for a great AVGN episode
my thoughts exactly. more like "wasted avgn material"
I agree
mrsaintsgodzilla21 yeah
TomheT 000 ew this is still a hilarious vid
mrsaintsgodzilla21 he made a avgn video for Christmas
Watching the two of you try and puzzle together this heap of garbage is like something from a Saw movie.

+cdc71792 Put it in Mr Saturn font.
Man. That and Live like a windrammer as you fuck are the best qoutes so far
I swear to god this was the best cinemassacre video ever
I like how all these old videos look like they were filmed on VHS
Adding a random stick to your product is such an awesome idea. They don't make them like they used to.
You were missing one of the "squids." There is one for Genesis and one for SNES. $400 for that thing years ago! Can you imagine buying this thing in 1993!? I would have been PISSED! You can buy like 10 games for that price!
Diesel Tech & Gaming thank you! That seemed super obvious.
And here I was thinking it was designed so that you'd have to buy one for each console.
I figured out what the stick was for, guys! The little thing on the side of the headset that the stick hooks into spins. When you turn your head left and right, it causes the stick to move, causing the thing to spin, which then causes the perspective changes in the little screen in the headset.

nice information . I thought the stick was to stabilize the googles only . or as mike said to stick up ur ass.
ty
Damn better test it out and get vertigo then!

It's so infectious to see how much fun they're having. We all need friends like these in our lives.
who was sent here by James Rolfe?
Wow, I literally just subscribed to you an hour ago!
Jame is the creator of cinemassacre
@@assassinonprozac You don't say?
12:56 You can just see the hope leave his face at the realization of what all his hard work was for. Even with half his head covered by that monstrosity you can see all that you need to get the picture.
Essentially, it's a television screen for your face... that's uncomfortable.
Today it's called VR
@@KJ.420 Without 3D, movement tracking, proper display, clear imagery, functional design.......
@@metalfaceterry problem is none of those games are on the genesis
this made my month i never knew this video existed and ive been watching you since gametrailers
"from the womb to the tomb, zoom"
best quote of the century.

I am not mistake, and there is another dongle that is used for the snes you are missing. But yeah it blew, just figured I would share my info with you
I knew that was what that rod was for.
who made that weird ass resume?
"I am not mistake"
Your dads friend was victor maxx ?
"I'm error"
The resume is the best part of the video.
"Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse??"
James and Mike had way too much fun making this video.
The funniest part to me was when Mike at the end is trying it...and he lifts it up off his face for a second and his face is all red and beat up and his eyes are wrecked like he's been at it for days straight hahaha
I like that 90% of the video was them just trying to get the fucking thing to work haha
The Victormaxx finally had its moment in the Sega Activator Interactor Menacer episode. They even did the bit with the stick!
Them having fun with that weird stick, was freaking hilarious XD
"THE GOGGLES! THEY DO NOTHING!"
Simpsons did it
Man that was funny when they were trying to figure out what the pole did
God I know, I was lol'ing so hard when it all finally came together and they figured out what the rod was for lol
I have one of those, well, I think I still have it. The stick thing activates the little actuator on the side of the headset and depending on what mode one of the dipswitches on the bottom of the headset is set to, changes what buttons it pushes when you turn your head.

i miss this duo so much
Came back to rewatch this classic!
I love how this kinda turned into an impromptu Nerd episode
i love how they start semi-serious and at the end they verbaly rip this thing apart.
nice avatar m8
I can see why Mike was kept in so long. They seemed to have a lot of fun together even if a lot of fans hated him lol
I like how throughout the whole video they never thought that the SNES cords might just be missing.
Every time I watch James and Mike doing stuff like this.
It reminds me of me and my childhood friend. :')
More videos like this.
VictorMaxx, you are the the greatest troll of the 20th century.
No, that would be Randal Graves from Clerks.
Feels like the pilot for James and Mike Mondays
These guys are so geeky. And that makes me feel good. Right on brothas!
Is that Calvin Coolidge I see in your RUclips Avatar?
Mmmmm..... very good. He is my favorite President. Who might be on yours? I am not so keen as yourself it would seem.
Is it Judah P. Benjamin?
thompson haire Keep cool with Coolidge.
And yes, that is Judah P. Benjamin.
Will do my friend. And you keep Jew with Judah.
I love how their whole opinion of this thing was just a downward spiral from the beginning.
Oculus Rift? HTC Vive? Pffffft! Victormaxx Stuntmaster is where it's at :P.
8 years ago... no way. Where did my life go?
I miss the rawness of James Rolfe’s videos. This is always one of my favorites to watch
this looks like it was recorded with those old camcorders from the 80s and 90s i love it.
It looks to me like the "squid" for the SNES connectors is missing.
Can't believe i never watch this James and mike episode. This is hilarious
Just two dudes having fun
This is probably my favorite video, because it truly shows some of the confusion we have all had on these old systems.
Youre so lucky to have a friend like this,
It's impossible not to laugh with them! :D James kicking the box at the end is hilarious xD
Jesus Christ, was this the best Cinemassacre! 🎉🎉😥
Would be the 2 coolest people in the world to game with
Mike is hilarious 😂 The perfect balance to James hilariousness.
You guys had me laughing even on a terrible day. I really appreciate that.
After watching James' recordings from childhood, it's almost impossible not to notice how he's almost exactly the same as he was all those years ago.
"From the womb to the tomb...zoom...." HAHA I laugh so hard at that every time :))
9:46 has got to be one of Mikes funniest moments!!
5:12 This one too
Mike: "This thing sucks"
I dunno why but that line was hilarious
"doesn't admit to ever being a child" that's beautiful. I'm gonna start saying that any time I'm asked about my childhood in any way.
Both this and the 3D glasses video are funnier than the actual AVGN Sega Accessories and Interacter Menacer episodes.
This should've been an AVGN video. Actually, he hasn't done any accessory videos for awhile now.
DarthRushy He did a Christmas episode about the Sega Genesis accessories from last year including this one. It has a lot of slapstick to it. It was a fun episode, and it's worth checking it out.
this thing is a torture device
funny you should mention that, the actual design of the thing was based on a medieval torture tool, that was used to compress the skull until it exploded.
SusanMcboot this is.. mind blowing
Oh I know. I was horrified.
u 2 are so good friends! :D
so cute how you jocking around all the time together ! ^^
The screen resolution of this thing is supposedly 280×86. That's 0.0024 megapixels.
11:20
"Guess what? This is not fitting."
*moan*
+Brainhorn Why man? LOL
These videos of James and Mike just doing their thing unscripted are some of the best avgn videos.
Ahhhh memories, back when I was watching RUclips on my PSVita.
It’s a shame we likely won’t have these types of videos anymore. I hope Mike will show up here and there with James on the channel, but I doubt it’ll be as consistent like it was before.
13:55 that look on Mike's face.....like legitimate annoyance mixed with confusion and pain. feel so bad for him and James. :(
their hysterical laughing really just makes for the best content
this is my favorite cinemassacre video.
you guys should do stuff like this on James & Mike Mondays.
This video is a classic. Great genuine freeform stuff here.
"From the womb to the tomb. Zoom." That's amazing.
looks like an older version of the Oculus Rift
I basicly is...just way shittyerxD
YTRoflcopter oh definitely.
4:31 Mor elike Octopus Rift **That drum sound after a joke**
Aqua Blue More like sry
Aqua Blue that would be a rimshot
The stick registers your head movements as controlling the game, for first person shooters. You tilt your head one way, it moves the stick and registers you as pushing that direction on the d-pad.
The VictorMaxx walked so the PlayStation VR could run
For real
I remember playing Fzero with this thing.
Just remember: You can always find almost any instruction manual on internet.
That's how i learned to use the oven on my home stove.
And re-programed the universal remote supposedly paired to one of the AC units.
14:27 If you don't have time to watch the entire video
Mike has an incredible imagination! He's really awesome
that "look at this fucking mess" line gets me every time
13:53 I thought he was going to say "I think I'm blind"
lol
This makes the r zone look like the HTC VIVE Pro
Props to his parents for having the foresight to return this shit during the return window.
You should try the HTC vive, and compare it to this.
"What do you see in there?"
Jack and shit, and Jack left town.
The 9-pin port on the back of the Megadrive is a serial port, I think it was used to connect two systems for some multiplayer games, and for a modem that was released in Japan.
Best part.
