Yes, you read that correctly. He presented an award on an online award show for the worst game of the year. Clutch your pearls preemptively: the nominees were 4 universally agreed on bad games. 
Did James make the decision about what games to have on here. It does not seem like it. BUT HE PRESENTED IT!
Oh yeah, this is somehow g*mergate, because we can't ever let the thing that happened over a decade ago die
This hurts bigly for all the 10 remaining fans of the 40+ year old who calls old games shitty poop farts
Should we even be complaining about this? Think of the dozens of extra views it might get from ResetERA referrals!
Thinking that it's dumb to complain about a shit game gettting a bad game award from a literally who tier youtuber? THAT'S A PADDLIN' 
Nobody would have known what a NES or Atari 2600 was without AVGN
I know none of them played it because nobody played it, this poster included.

I'm surprised those guys haven't denounced him when he refused to watched the all female Ghost Busters.

Definitely, I thought he was widely known to be chud-adjacent.

He's not "chud-adjacent", he's just too neurodivergent to know the "correct" opinions he should have.

That just explains why he's chud-adjacent.

He has a wife and kids that he is devoted to. This is enough to be full on chud according to the particularly wacky ones

He's also not glued to social media at all times. The man just wants to spend time with his family and watch weird old horror movies

Yeah, because he's neurodivergent.

Theyre probably too young to know about that.

They're definitely not. I think they just forgot he'd been canceled already so are admitting to having enjoyed him even when they shouldn't have. There will be trouble if anyone notices.

This is a big zoomer thing. They discover an ancient controversy they were too young to know about and treat it like a shocking new reveal.
I remember a while back zoomers discovering old Howard Stern material and asking, without a shred of irony, "how has Howard Stern not been canceled yet?" Like they literally just had no idea that he was the devil of angry schoolmarms in the 90s, or that they had become the schoolmarms

That was so long ago ResetEra didn't even exist. I'm sure NeoGAF did in spades tho. Lindsay Ellis sure tried to take a swing at him over it.

Fat, divorced, childless and a published author of a male alien/female human romance novel putting up a veneer of being science fiction.

An aerospace engineer was what people thought. I feel like there was debate over if he was even real but I couldn't be sure. It's been ages since I kept tabs on her.
