Message: [QUOTE="sandogma, post: 43910, member: 713"] Great article! I watched Angry Nintendo Nerd game in the GameTrailers.com days and continued to watch when he moved onto his own Youtube channel as the Angry Video Game Nerd. I disagree with anyone blaming James as having anything to do with the toxicity in gaming culture. Toxic people are toxic because they are unhappy people and have real issues going on in their personal lives. Often (but not always) the younger the person is, the worse they are about dealing with whats going on and even worse, the easier it is to be manipulated by others online. And the internet, being an easy way to lash out with little repercussion, enables that behavior. This is a problem across all interests, not just gaming. There are plenty of content creators that actually advocate toxicity, whereas James is literally pretending to be irate about old videogames. While I do feel that James' golden years are behind him, there are still some new episodes that I enjoy that he puts out. James love of cinematography and his relatable love of retro games is what made his show special to many of us. Some of my favorites are his Castlevania retrospective episodes and his Earthbound review. There are so many more but my memory is hazy, I should watch them again sometime. [/QUOTE]
