AVGN Behind the Scenes and Nerd Room Tour 2021 – Cinemassacre
The Cinemassacre Podcast is coming THIS Tuesday night to the channel. It’s an hour long video podcast, but the audio version will be posted wherever podcasts are heard.
Anyway, thanks for watching AVGN for 15 years! It’s been a long time since I’ve done a behind the scenes sort of video. But, I wanted to share some of my new technical updates, the basic set up of a Nerd episode, other projects, and even address some of your complaints.
See the detailed process of Making an AVGN episode, in this older (out of date) behind-the-scenes video, that also counts as episode 102, with the featured game being Barbie (NES)

i wish to be isolated in the AVGN room, without having to work, or to go outside unless i buy food.
play my retro games silent, and without problems, unlike this stupid local shop i live, full of fkn outside sound. and dirty asf
when i see AVGN i fell in love with this room and how silent it is, how lovely it could be to just be there with less than probably $30 a month on food
that's all i need, but no, i have to be in this hard shit, take drugs, intoxicate in alcohol, while not being to achieve the simple life of my dreams.
your room is so lovely and peaceful, i wish i got to experience at least once.

These entitled incel neets are a non-stop problem. You'd think they should be grown up like the rest of us lol.

You got the shot? Poor dude. As a self employed social media influencer you could just have said no. I couldn't go anywhere or a year or more. But it was worth it. I'm still not modified to failure.

The "there goes the onion" part and the things he said afterwards goes to show that the Nerd is basically James cranked up to 11 XD

The Nerd basement means more to me than the White House, the Colosseum, the entirety of Australia and the Eiffel Tower. Won’t lie at all. This place is the dream.

What a dusty clogged mess, how can you even call that a studio, what about showing a little respect to the stuff that pays the bills…wax paper, dude, a godox softbox is like $20

What is "tough 80s wood"? Are trees weaker now? Are you confusing solid wood furniture with like chipboard furniture? I'm so intrigued

Nearly 20 years of making AVGN and still going strong. Absolutely incredible. James is a pioneer for content creators and a big part of the internet for me growing up. Nothing but goodwill and love from me and many others! ❤

Thanks for the empathy for other artists you showed around 18m. Nobody really understands the suffering creative people go thru just to make a simple shot sometimes.
Thanks for being you, James and crew! ❤️🔥🤘🏽🙏🏽
