Screw U Hippie’s.. U don’t have a sense of Humor, do U!! Annoying, I say not.. He funny and entertaining too me.. Did U ever see the TGWTG Brawl. The brawl between him, and the nerd.. Did U see Nostalic crttics PSA Video.. That was funny.. Nostalgic and The Nerd are Like arch rivals but good friends, and respect one another.. Even though they claim too up one another by saying there better then thee other.. They both have the same Humor.. P.S Hippie’s don’t talk abt Ray William Johnson either he can be funny too.. Most of the time..

I don’t know what goes on behind close doors, but if wanted too leave Screwattack.. James could do fine on his own.. Ofcourse that’s my personal Opinion.. If He was unhappy wit Screwattack he would have left long ago..

@hjrimohj@KennanWard There is nothing really wrong with screw attack aside from the fact they as a website and a concept grew over the years and gained a lot of fans and webspace. The problem is most of these yutz’s think websites exist thanks to the magic web fairy and that if a website started small and was completely free and “for the fans” it should always be that. Problem is as a website grows and gets immensely popular it requires bigger and more dedicated web servers to handle the thousands of users who are hitting it up for games, videos and news stories every few seconds. This is no cheap feat. The magical web fairy usually flitters away absent mindedly and forgets all about huge sites like that. So then the owners have to come up with various creative ways to bring in some revenue so they don’t have to shut down.

The Screwattack site underwent a huge change a number of months ago to a new design that is vastly different looking than the ld site, and thus a lot of folk started kermit flailing because it was different. There is also the “Advantage” program which allows those who choose to participate (read: support the site by donating money) to be ad-free and see some exclusive content (outtakes/bloopers/etc) and they also get early access to videos that are exclusive to the site.

A lot of the issue with screw attack really comes down to the people that want to live as a parasite/leech and get their needs fulfilled with no return, and those who prefer symbiosis and want to both enjoy the site and also give back to help the site keep going. Leechs just want to keep leeching and never be troubled.

If you dig through the comments here you’ll actually see Chad from screwattack replying to some of the people over here with concerns about the dvd’s and other merchandise. I see that as a sign they’re really TRYING to be receptive to their fans and progress to grow as a website and do the right thing. And yet despite this..

Haters gonna hate. Just like here with AVGN, despite free content and all the time/money/effort/emotional distress James and Mike and friends, people ae going to flame him and just not care. Mostly you have to just ignore all the hate and see for yourself. 🙂 Don’t take my word for it that the site is good OR bad.

@hjrimohj

There is nothing wrong with Screwattack. I think people just have some twisted and screwed up agenda against them. I’d dare say that Screwattack helped James a lot.

Craig saw his videos on Youtube many years ago back when James only had the couple on Youtube. Craig got a hold of James, and they’ve had a business relationship since. Because Screwattack was/is also working with Gametrailers, that also helped bring in revenue for James.

@Schizima Write a letter to your favourite video game company or movie studio, and tell them to stop charging you money to bring their visions to life. They should be able to fund all their projects with loans, right? Yeah, banks, governments and investors totally do that.

Having to watch a ad that is so far off base is enough not to mention, it is always the same ad. I’ll donate direct and wait a week. I’m sure Paypal takes a smaller percentage of the donation anyway, letting James keep most of it.
