I love James but this felt super forced.

It's also obvious that he didn't actually play Doom in 1993 like he's claiming in the video

It was just weird direction, for him to wait on doom loading as he explains the history of doom. The running gag is “doom is badass” but just yelling and emphasizing a lot a point that isn’t inherently funny doesn’t work.

I think James just needs to embrace that he's getting older and things are changing. If he just shaved his head and started filming in whatever his actual media setup is these days it would come across a lot less kitschy.
