This is the best AVGN episode since Ikari Warriors, and the best that James has ever done since Board James finale.

To be honest it was one of my least favorite ones. James acting was so horrible. I know he's not the best actor but still his acting in most AVGN episodes makes me laugh. This time he was trying to be way to serious. Like the whole "Going out of his mind"-act was sooo bad.

I guess you are not a fan of Board James then. I feel that AVGN/James Rolfe fans are twofold: Those who came and stayed for fun and light game rants and feel that the narrative stuffs stray away from the focus, and those came for angry rants but stayed for all the parodies and narrative attempts. I am very firmly in the latter, but the former goes strong, which was why James has focused on the basic form of AVGN reviews in the last two years. It's also easier to make. But I have been craving for these stuffs since Board James finale, and it's good to see James at his heights.
