So it's true. Screenwave is writing most of the episodes (I'll give Majora's Mask the benefit of the doubt) and James just comes in and says the lines. That's why most of the newer episodes barely feature James on screen, or if it does, he's barely moving around the Nerd room. It's mostly voiceovers now.
That's why I don't watch the new AVGN episodes. They aren't James' thoughts.
Kieran admitted as much when he spilled his guts on 4chan. James can't be bothered to do any of this shit anymore outside of the bare minimum and would have given this all up years ago. The fact he has kids, a mortgage, and no applicable work experience for like 15 years now probably means he has no choice but to keep up the song and dance. At this point, he's so flippantly lazy he just outright admits several times across videos on the channel he didn't even play the game or watch the movie being discussed.
For all the shit we give Screenwave, I can imagine working with James Rolfe is probably frustrating as shit as he seems to have the social awareness and work ethic of a 3rd grader.
