Can we just appreciate the fact that James has been providing entertaining content for almost 20 years. Let that sink in for a moment. Thank you James.
You know...my best friend from childhood just past away this week and I was not prepared for that bit at the end of Contra...now I can even say AVGN made me cry like a baby... Miss you Ian...
James I have literally grown up with you at this point since I started watching you when I was 13 and I am now 28, thank you for all these years of laughs abd entertainment
I emailed him months before that suggesting that he go back to the original film style (lower definition) for atmospheric and nostalgic value. Maybe he saw it😅
I did not expect to get hit in the feels as hard as i did with the "contra how i remember it video" James will always make amazing content, he always has.
AVGN has gotten me through some hard times in the past, addiction, break ups, financial; whenever I struggled, James was always there to keep me going. Cheers mate, your classic seasons will always be with me.
I just rewatched the Contra episode and I gotta say.... Thank You...The line "Maybe you have a grandparent or family member, who's still watchin ya play" hit me hard. I just got all 4 original FF1 party members me and me grandpa used to play tattooed on me.
I love when the Nerd uploads all his episodes all over again in one big episode. That means that I can watch the episodes all over again without having to search for each episode all over again!
The end of that contra episode brought me to tears man...this is so full of nostalgia my tears are dropping on the keyboard as i'm typing this...great stuff bro! 😥
He uploaded Season 16 all over again, so now we can watch the episodes all over again! All over again... The Nerd's body of work is older than many of the people watching this. Let that one sink right in there.
Thanks for fixing the edits in the contra episode (some shots where missing) it's a nitpick but it would have been a shame if it had been like that forever
Love to see an AVGN - DUKE NUKEM episode. A nerd look on all released Duke Nukem games. From Duke 1, 2, 3D over the PS and N64 games like ZERO HOUR, all the way to Manhattan Project and the iconic disappointment DUKE NUKEM FOREVER.
I love whenver AVGN releases anything new. If not watching a bunch of old AVGN will do also. Please do another 12 days of Shitsmas for the holidays. Those are my favorites during the holiday.
The Last Ninja episode shows that AVGN went back to its golden age route once again. The longest running web series aged like fine wine that AVGN has been there way before RUclips launched.
After all these years, AVGN is the only one who still holds up. I don't care what anyone says. He was the originator, and he is still the best. Still the GOLD STANDARD. Much Respect AVGN.
I'm actually blown away by the level of detail that went into the backgrounds. The trees, tables, fences etc. all look great. Even the character models are pretty solid.
i’ve watched this season like over 10 times and i just realized the dedication for boo. made me think of my late cat who passed a year later after boo and made me tear up a bit
I love 'The Last Ninja' series on the C64 when I was a kid. They were horrible to play but the visuals were fantastic for a C64. Thank you for bringing back the memories.
Contra, Castlevania, Metroid, was like that for me in my childhood... And than, When I got to adulthood, Dark souls and BOTW... They are just a few, but really precious gems...
So thankful for James and everyone on the team. Watching the nerd get slapped around by Earnie made my day! Gave me the laugh I needed, these videos are always fantastic :)
I'm gonna hazard a guess James took the original video down to fix the glitch in Contra. I was watching it with my wife a few hours ago, and whenever he showed a closeup of the wish-granting hand, it would show a pop-up window saying some sort of software had expired. No idea what it meant, I just assumed it was a weird joke that wasn't in the original episode... Evidently not 😂
I’ve never thought that after the 15th season, which in my opinion was the weakest by far, we would get such a great season... One of the best AVGN seasons ever!!!
Rockin' Kats! The music in the background of the Purr Pals video was from Rockin' Kats, the NES game where you play as a blue anthropomorphic cat and use a punching glove gun to slug, swing, and spring your way through different themed stages to rescue your girlfriend. The box art was one of the few times an NES game cover accurately represented both the look and feel of the actual game. Chiseled loose some dusty old memories there.
3 years ago, I was like, "Pffft who's this guy?" Now I'm like, "How he did he become my best friend when I don't even know him?" James Rolfe, thanks for the decades of content. Somehow you capture a lot of what my childhood/adolescence/current adulthood is about even though I may have been born a generation later than you.
Can we just appreciate the fact that James has been providing entertaining content for almost 20 years. Let that sink in for a moment. Thank you James.
⁰00⁰
I regret not watching this as a kid on gametrailers. watching it now man, the nerd is my top 5 content creators

Thank you James 💖
I second that!
50:45-52:20 almost made me cry. Most moving segment since the 15+ I’ve been watching AVGN 😢
Honestly with a lot of the old fanbase becoming cynical trolls that hate on cinemassacre I'm glad you share my enthusiasm for AVGN and classic games.
Did it?
James is getting older. His review of Contra shows he's becoming more pensive with age.
where did covid came from
why nobody cares
You're crying. I'm not crying😢
You know...my best friend from childhood just past away this week and I was not prepared for that bit at the end of Contra...now I can even say AVGN made me cry like a baby...
Miss you Ian...
Sorry for your loss
I hear you, that part seems so genuine and heartfelt. Nostalgia can be very powerful. RIP Ian.
I was welling up too....totally get what the nerd was trying to express here 🙂🙂❤
I lost my friend too young also. I feel you dude.
Hope you heal soon bro I lost both mine April 1 2021 Dave 38 & Simon 42 October 17 last year not everybody grows old with us ❤️
I like what he’s doing. You can tell fatherhood is getting him a little bit sentimental. I’m all for it.
James I have literally grown up with you at this point since I started watching you when I was 13 and I am now 28, thank you for all these years of laughs abd entertainment
Amen! 😊
The classic intro to the last ninja really settled me right in the avgn mood
I emailed him months before that suggesting that he go back to the original film style (lower definition) for atmospheric and nostalgic value. Maybe he saw it😅
The Last Ninja is even worse than Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde according to the 💩 scale.
Still RUclips haha😊
avgn episodes of 2022: has only 6
scott the woz episodes of 2022: has only 20 (not including nintendo switch five years in depth)
Me too
That DOOM episode will remain legendary. Well done.
He does keep a clean toilet.
I've been a Nerd fan since I was a teenager!! Literally grew up watching this guy!! I'm so happy he's still around making these. Makes me so happy.
I did not expect to get hit in the feels as hard as i did with the "contra how i remember it video" James will always make amazing content, he always has.
My mom and I played Contra together when I was really young. My earliest memories of gaming came from Contra with mom ❤️
That's awesome Cody ❤. Play on!
I just want to thank James, and everybody behind the scenes for bringing me, and many others countless hours of entertainment
Hehe, he fixed the Contra episode issue :P
Thank you so much James, again, for all your wonderful work throughout the years!
Thanks for explaining the reupload, I always wanna know what the hiccup was.
And what was the issue?
Lol
Some shots were missing from the contra episode and had an error from their editing software instead
I wish he talked more about contra 4. Contra 4 humbled this new generation of gamers with that classic NES hard
this is the most emotional season.
because of the contra and purr pals episodes

have you tried the playlist it works wonders
That Contra section… I was so not prepared to ever tear up to an AVGN episode, heck…
He's gonna take you back to the past…and bring you to tears, too! 😢
That Contra ending... right in the feels
Should've shared Neo Contra on the PS2.
Should've shared Neo Contra on the PS2. That's another very well made Contra game.
Thank you very much for 16 years of Angry videogame 🤓 nerd
I'm starting to think this series will outlive me🤣💀
Me too mate
And me! And I hope it happens 🍻
Bro the Ernie in the tub with the toaster had me rolling
Mike Matei wrote that for sure lol
James's work is still a great comfort, after all these years. Grateful he's still producing it.
Exactly what the world needed, AVGN 16
The end of that contra episode brought me to tears man...this is so full of nostalgia my tears are dropping on the keyboard as i'm typing this...great stuff bro! 😥
I love to binge-watch Avgn.
binge watching AVGN has been a big part of what I do on youtube. I really love the Xmas episodes also.
same i have seen every season over 30 times 😂😂
I took a few years off now there's a whole bunch of seasons I came back to
I love putting random-hyphens and spaces.
Do you?
He uploaded Season 16 all over again, so now we can watch the episodes all over again!
All over again...
The Nerd's body of work is older than many of the people watching this. Let that one sink right in there.
King of the internet still running strong! Can't wait for the next episode as always!
The monologue at the end of Contra hits so hard, and makes me miss my Grandpa who I used to play Contra with
Ernie taking that beaten score a little too personal 😆
can we all appreciate the 15 years to make the last ninja episode
@@LavaCreeperPeople unofficially i have watched them all 9 times each
Been watching from 2006, absolutely in love with the series! Thank you, James for all the hard work!
Hand’s down, this is the best content on RUclips. I simply love James’ work.
That speech at the end of the Contra episode is seriously beautiful. Thanks James

And Bert, who's details remain unexplained 😅😂
LEGEND AF JAMES!!! ✨🎮 👑ROLLING ROCKS ON THE HOUSE!! 🍻🎥
I don't know how he does it but these newer episodes still have that old school AVGN feel and it proves the nerd still rules!
WHAT A LEGEND STILL IS BOO, IN THE KITTEN SKY, PASSING THE NERD ADVENTURE TO THOSE IN NEED
Thanks for fixing the edits in the contra episode (some shots where missing) it's a nitpick but it would have been a shame if it had been like that forever
To think this is season 16. Jeez I feel old
Im gonna watch this all over again. I cant wait to see it all over again.
Long live the Nerd

How did you type that tiny picture of the nerd in? I want to do it too😅
An upload so nice they did it twice.
Finally! A AVGN upload baby! 🎮 😡🕹️
*An AVGN upload🤓🤓🤓
what you said at the end of "contra how i remember it", i felt that. thank you james
James, in 2023 I've been watching your videos for 16 years now! Thanks for all the great times and memories buddy!
AVGN until I die man. You’ll forever be my goat RUclipsr
The Last Ninja episode shows that AVGN went back to its golden age route once again. The longest running web series aged like fine wine that AVGN has been there way before RUclips launched.

I really liked the dedication to boo part. I was petting my cat when he was petting his cat while I was watching lol.
I'm actually blown away by the level of detail that went into the backgrounds. The trees, tables, fences etc. all look great. Even the character models are pretty solid.
James message on the Contra episode is very inspiring.
The Full Seasons finally approached the latest episodes.
A moment in history 🍾
i’ve watched this season like over 10 times and i just realized the dedication for boo. made me think of my late cat who passed a year later after boo and made me tear up a bit
I love 'The Last Ninja' series on the C64 when I was a kid. They were horrible to play but the visuals were fantastic for a C64. Thank you for bringing back the memories.
James really outdid himself this year 👏
That “DOOOOOOM!” freak out is amazing lol
Contra, Castlevania, Metroid, was like that for me in my childhood... And than, When I got to adulthood, Dark souls and BOTW... They are just a few, but really precious gems...
Ty for everything you’ve been doing for us for 10+ years James have watched your vids for so long
This Contra segment is epic, the ending is awesome and inspiring! Thanks, James!
James is the number one RUclipsr 20 years straight running. Awesome work AVGN
The cat litter part always cracks me up! 😂
I love every second of all these videos
So thankful for James and everyone on the team. Watching the nerd get slapped around by Earnie made my day! Gave me the laugh I needed, these videos are always fantastic :)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS another season! :D Love your stuff and hoping for more! Thank you for all the laughs. LOVE this!!!!
Long live AVGN and the adorable YeTi
"Kevin McCallister with a bunch of paint cans" 🤣🤣🤣
You went real deep at the end. It was beautiful.
I'm gonna hazard a guess James took the original video down to fix the glitch in Contra. I was watching it with my wife a few hours ago, and whenever he showed a closeup of the wish-granting hand, it would show a pop-up window saying some sort of software had expired. No idea what it meant, I just assumed it was a weird joke that wasn't in the original episode... Evidently not 😂
Sweet! I know what I'm watching at work tomorrow
James and the cat game is one of the best parts of the entire AVGN series 😂
His reactions when he lands on the boat are hilarious
Ah yes, my favorite annual bedtime video.
Exactly what I needed today. *chef kiss*. Perfect.
These always make me smile :)
The Contra episode, shed some tears on that 1 😔
I love avgn so much i hope it never ends
Keep up the great work AVGN.
Purr Pals is an underrated episode and you all know it
I hope James makes more retrospective videos. He’s in his element when making videos about games he’s familiar with.
I have now finished my binge watching, i have finally watched all 16 seasons. You're awesome James.
Watching it all back like this in one big compilation, wow another great season.
It reduces the cats molecular density, AVGN never gets old!🤣🤣 and 1:03:11
Best childhood cry iw had in years. Ty mate :D
Thank you for all these memories. I played Last Ninja on Amiga 500 30 Years ago and died instantly. Big Fan of AVGN !
16 seasons of avgn...never thought it would come this far....❤
Been with you AVGN since the beginning... You were great then, and even better now. Thank you James.
I’ve never thought that after the 15th season, which in my opinion was the weakest by far, we would get such a great season...
One of the best AVGN seasons ever!!!
All I ever do. Watch . AVGN and play old games.
And drink beers 🍻
@@SinisterScoundrel6562 more like smoke bongs ✌️
Many days I let your videos run in my store's tv all day ,. thanks 🙏
Didn't you guys uploaded this compilation hours ago?
Apparently there was a mistake in editing which he fixed for the second upload
Rockin' Kats!
The music in the background of the Purr Pals video was from Rockin' Kats, the NES game where you play as a blue anthropomorphic cat and use a punching glove gun to slug, swing, and spring your way through different themed stages to rescue your girlfriend. The box art was one of the few times an NES game cover accurately represented both the look and feel of the actual game. Chiseled loose some dusty old memories there.

Somehow you capture a lot of what my childhood/adolescence/current adulthood is about even though I may have been born a generation later than you.
Never forget the nerd
Last Ninja review was great. Still a bit PG 13 compared to the old days but Great to see a return to Form! Legend as always Rolfe!
Thanks James!!! I love your work. It means a great deal to me. Your years of work have been a blessing.
Thank you James! 🇨🇦
That Contra Episode Ending... Right in the Feels. I'm here for it. That was Beautiful.
