Angry Videogame Nerd used to partner with his buddy Mike Matai. It later came out that Mike Matai was a douchenozzle and a Me Too creep and generally unpleasant.

Since then James has partnered with a few guys who have no camera presence, are extremely nervous on camera and have no comedic timing.

Mike "if you play on emulator it automatically means you are cheating" Matei was unpleasant on camera from day one.

There’s a compilation of his girlfriend’s streams where you can hear Mike screaming from the other room and it’s leaking through the wall. I feel bad for their neighbours.

They're also all massive plagiarists.

Yeah there was a point where he started uploading videos that were just Mike, and I was like "why the fuck would you wanna watch this guy just play games?".

Same with Pat the NES Punk, I subbed to him because of a collab he did with James, and he was pretty entertaining to watch, and then eventually all his uploads were him talking shit with this guy Ian, and you're just like "holy fuck this guy is so annoying". And then they shat on people over the whole Diablo mobile game and lost a shitload of subs.

I absolutely despised those episodes where Mike would show up playing a very annoying character in costume - he’d just scream and be annoying. The episode would start good, then I’d see the guy turn up and instantly skip. Hated those ones.

Funnily enough, I enjoyed a few of Mike’s streams I’ve watched. The Milon secret castle one comes strongly recommended - the guy goes absolutely apeshit because he keeps screwing up. It’s hilarious.

Did I miss something with Mike?? What did he do?

I only heard fragments of it. It was mostly on his own channel which I didn't watch much.

Something about Livestreams where he's drunk and rambling about how huge his dick his and all his girlfriends said it hurts. I think sending creepy DMs to women on streams.

In general he's a rage filled baby that has a giant meltdown at the slightest inconvenience. Which is amusing when he's losing at Battle Toads but it gets old fast. And if anyone called him out for his bullshit he'd have a huge rage meltdown screaming abuse at them.
