There's also the problem that more information exists now. It was one thing back in the day for him to not know about the glitch that lets you completely skip the ring segments in Superman 64 or not know some game was actually a C64 port (and better on the C64 usually), but then his revisit to Superman 64 happened literally a year after the Games Done Quick run which exposed a lot of the glitches, including the one that lets you skip the rings... but he continues acting as if he lives in a bubble.
Watch any of his most recent video's and you can tell he doesn't have that enthusiasm anymore.Current avgn is pretty much on autopilot now,given his channel network does most of the heavy lifting.James should really retire the avgn character but the problem is he's lock into it with a family to take care of now.
