    Mike really doesn't get the credit he deserves and this just shows how instrumental he has been for cinemassacre

      The James & Mike Monday and Livestreams he does is good content.

      +Haydn Leyshon Mike seems to be himself when he's not doing cinemassacre videos where he relentlessly drops the f-bomb every ten seconds.

      +Unwilling Banana I read about this stuff all time.. what's up with this? Did he claim to have 10inch dick in a video or something? :D

    A lot of people do not realize how important Mike Matei is for AVGN/Cinemassacre

    • @JsRetroVideoGames
      @JsRetroVideoGames 5 лет назад +3

      I think most of the true fans know how important Mike is to the show. Most of the newbies probably don't know who Mike is because he's not really seen in the AVGN episodes.

    • @love4music1992

      Not anymore he's gone sadly.

    • @finfirun

      Yeah, now we see how important he was. AVGN isn't was it was back then.

    I loved it when Mike did his own videos on the Cinemassacre channel when James was making the film. I honestly don't understand why he got so much hate. He made great content.

    • @nalastreasurechest6909

      townsjim it's bc he's not James. James casts a big shadow.

    I'm really glad Mike is getting more visibility, especially with how much effort he puts into all things Cinemassacre. Both he and James seem like really great people, so I'm glad this has worked out so well for them!
    Pat is pretty cool too- of course.

  • @electricmastro
    @electricmastro 8 лет назад +34

    Wow, think about it, had it not been for Mike, most of us probably wouldn't have subscribed to the Cinemassacre channels. You probably wouldn't even be looking at my or any other comment talking about it on here now that I think about it. I probably wouldn't have talked about it ever really.

    • @fab1604
      @fab1604 8 лет назад

      Exactly, Mike pushed James to keep doing the Nerd videos, to upload them on the internet, etc.

    • @electricmastro
      @electricmastro 8 лет назад +3

      That was probably a thing for the longest time. The idea it was just James doing all of this, while not knowing it was Mike who created the channel and convinced James to make more videos. Like if you asked any Nerd watcher back in 2006 who MIke of Cinemassacre was, they'd probably ask, "Who is this Mike fellow?"

    I like the evolution that Cinemassacre has taken, they found a way to approach LPs in a way that still benefits via their skills in editing and information, as well as maintaining their humor. Bootsy's soothing walkthrough of Battletoads was nice as well.

  • @johnnybensonitis7853
    @johnnybensonitis7853 8 лет назад +5

    This was really interesting! I've always wondered how Mike's role effected AVGN and this explains a lot. I remember a few years ago people would accuse Mike of "riding on James' success", which is hilarious now knowing how much work he's done in the background. I thought it was funny when he talked about how they needed to keep the website and channel going and James basically just waited for Mike to suggest doing his own videos lol. Which were awesome, btw!

    • @gus051

    @babybuussj4 8 лет назад +1

    I do remember when Mike was "new" as he face of Cinemassacres video's for a time; the videos were a bit rough with him at the helm but they were good, the hate was present and a bit overblown, but now he's an accepted mainstay for the channel. And for the better I say.

  • @P0V3RTY09
    @P0V3RTY09 8 лет назад

    I must admit that Mike Matei has come a long way. As most, I also didn't know what to think about his video creations at first during James's absence. But his personality has grown on me. I especially like watching some of his live streams. It is rare to have such talented and well liked guys like the Cinemassacre people whom seem to have such dedication and talent besides being such good friends as seen in their videos. I truly hope that their success continues for many more years to come.

  • @ParaholiX
    @ParaholiX 8 лет назад +2

    Mikes had good intentions and knew that in today's time you cant just abandon your channel for 6 months as it could easily be forgotten with the over saturation in the gaming category. Every category for that matter. I'm not part of a gaming channel but we've added that content into it to fill in the gaps when we cant do our channels priority content which is investigating. It's taken since '12 when we started it to reach the 550 subs we have now. Plus, investigating at well known places isn't free. Our investigation next weekend is costing $500. Not including gas and food. Now if we can get James and Mike to Retropallooza!

    props to Mike. He is really a backbone of AVGN. all the title cards, back up work etc just for friendship (when someone has a goofy idea to do something, would you as a friend jump in just to do it... Not too many would do so much work for it). To clarify: James have done a huge work himself, and Mike obviously has helped a lot during different stages of where they are now.

    I feel both of you are just as important, yes, James is the AVGN, but you're the unsung hero, you go and take care of things when James can't, making your own videos, convincing James to continue the AVGN, it's really big, so good job on 10 years of Cinemassacre Mike. And James as well.

    The first time I found out who Mike was was with the "Game Glitches With Mike Matei" videos, as he mentioned in this video. I really miss those videos, I feel like that's an another thing that can work out as a returning series. Like that can be one of Mike's side projects, similar to "You Know What's Bullshit" and "Board James" with James.

    Mike does some really good vids. I liked his NES/SNES hidden gems. Pat you're awesome, love your work on the Video Game Years and your Podcasts. You guys ever planning on holding events in Atlanta or Nashville? You, James, Mike, Doug (Walker), Ian, Pixel Dan, Jon (Gamester81), etc. have a lot of fans in these areas.

    Its crazy to think that Mike is so humble to know that the audience wants to see James and wants to help him but James knows how important Mike is and wants his best friend to be on screen as well. It's clear they just want to have fun and build their life around delivering entertainment. Especially after 10 years, they know what their roots are and have stuck to it. A great example of "if it's not broke, why fix it?"
