My opinion of him

He's still funny, AVGN is an over the top character that he plays and he's still got it.
The videos he makes with Mike are him being his regular old boring self. However he's still funny in those. Mike drags everything down, he's not funny and he doesn't even add anything insightful. -

His "let's play videos" are just so lazy. I watched a couple and they're just not interesting, at all. I really don't get why anyone watches that crap.
And the Mike Mataei or whatever his name is just isn't funny. I get that they're friends but he does not belong in front of a camera. -

Completely agree! The "Let's Plays" are terrible. If they were offering interesting commentary that would be one thing, but they're not.
And Mike just drags the whole production down. He's not funny and he's terrible at the games!
I wish they'd go back to the AVGN style, but I think he's pretty much suffered burn out regarding that character. -

Mike's pretty much taken over Cinemassacre's You16d0Tube channel.
I've always said what everyone else has about him here, he's not funny and doesn't bring anything to the videos. Remember when he drew backlash over his infantile, embarrassing "Elmo In Grouchland" and "Minecraft" reviews?
Of course I get that he inspired James to upload the first game reviews online (over ten years ago), but it's annoying how he always acts like AVGN and Cinemassacre would be nothing without him.
You can tell this by how Mike always posts his social media links first in the video descriptions.
