  1. kiddo? Does it work on you? Isn't denying ones own ego, denying one self? Noone is entirely objective. And if they are, why do they even fight for survival anyway? Your ego is in many ways, to ensure ones own survival. We all have egoes. But the there's the ones who can control it, and the ones who can't. I believe James is leaning strongly towards "can't". He needs stimulant to contains his ego. He's unconsciously challenging his colleagues about who's the "fittest for survival" and probably getting little response. A person like James, needs to feel in center, and to feel that people are looking up to him and share his ideas. And if they don't, he'll try to mold them into doing so. All, I believe, entirely unconscious. Magnificent, scary.
  2. Hmm... I think what he does, that sets off my ego-detector, is entirely unconscious. It's the nature of his personality...... which bothers me a lot. But maybe it's just because I'm envious of his confidence... or something.
  3. Your comment makes total sense. It hits so many nails on the head I can't even count. Yes I have an ego problem, and I want to form a militia against James. =P Not really, but I thought about it for a moment....... and now I've changed my mind... because I realize that LMG couldn't care less that a few youtubers don't like James (but ohh did it feel nice to write that post... mhhhhhh)
  4. I'll still argue there's a distinct difference between contributing to others conversation with meaningful additions that enhances the statement, and then just adding things only to underscore your own ego and also get a word in JUST before your co-host is finish speaking to the camera. James might THINK he's adding valuable and funny information, but (as I see it) he's only failing at keeping his own ego at bay.... I'm no psychologist.. but that man is understimulated.....
  5. But he sucks in a very funny way... and he's having a blast at it. James doesn't nag me too much lately, but he's still an egoistic dick... and he interrupts people while they talk. And people let him talk because they're polite, and James sometimes utilizes that. You can almost see it in Linus' face in WAN show when he interrupts him.... Linus face goes "oh.. he does it again.. well better be the kind boss". Edit: Okay, he still makes me mad
  6. You can't hear it.......... but I'm hysterically laughing after marking this as the best answer... plus informative. You're welcome...
  7. This thread turned out to be more than expected. I'm currently rethinking exactly how wise it was to express my dislike with James here in the forums... But oh well... I did.. and oh god do I realize now that not too many shares my belief, or opinion... (now I'm sad.. buhuu.. I didn't get the satisfaction I wanted....... something something yadda yadda)... I wont quote you on anything.... but I'll have you know 1 thing: I'm on the Riley band wagon! yay go Riley =D Riley for president! Give Riley an Oscar! Please have kids so we can have mini Rileys growing up and make funny Riley jokes and.. and... okay too much i'll stop.. sry..
  8. Okay... maybe.. I'll admit I dont like overly confident people, because, most of the ones I've met, imply that all they know and say, is true...... because they "feel it in their gut". Not because of some proven fact or study or some sort. It irritates me and drains me. And that's probably because I envy the people who can camly and CONFIDENTLY say and believe that what they say, is true. Me and James personality doesn't mix well...
  9. About an hour after I posted this, I kinda regretted it, because I saw how this is only to get away with my anger and dislike of James. I don't like his big ego... and.. that's about it.. yep.... Thanks for listening.... even thou I probably should've kept this for myself
  10. I see democracy has spoken and people generally dont have much against James. Well that's good I must see more egoism in him than most. It just itches me, and I gotta live with that. Thanks for your feedback guys.
  11. Hahaha.... I was just afraid of setting the forum on fire ? As I see it Linus OUGHT to have some words with him. He's interrupting people while in WAN show... but I usually dont like dominant people ? Well, he's just too dominant of a character compared to all the other staff members. I really dont see why Linus hired him. Only reason I see is he brings something new to the table...... And I dont like him.. yeah. And the reason for this post was just to see if anyone else agreed with me. Fits them perfectly ? From an outside perspective I can see it for me now. Shh.. Linus is holy ground.. and he got a free pass since he's the boss ? (he needs to be a bit ego to make up for his pussyness anyway)
  12. I guess he just sets off my ego meter too much. Which is too bad because James can be fun in his own right, and people clearly enjoy him because he brings something unique to the set... I'll see if I can make peace with him one day Looks like I'll have to. Yeah, everyone got it's favorites... and you sure know who isn't mine. Yeah Anthony is a smash hit with his otherworldly knowhow, but I also like Rileys goofey way of talking... it feels so natural to him, almost humble in a way. But Linus will always seem like the biggest Nerd of them all, just because we like to mug him
  13. ** THIS IS NOT A HATE POST - MERELY IN THE INTEREST FOR THE BEST OF LINUS MEDIA GROUP ** James appearance on the show has recently been dominated by his personality, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when he can't control his urge to steal the spotlight, it's starting to become a problem. I'm here to share my concern on James, skewing the brand image of LMG and their youtube channels towards a negative direction.... concerns, not blames. From the first time I saw james. I had a hard time with him, and tried not to judge. And I would lie if I said he didn't trigger my ego-detector. What I'm refering to is, as a video host (on LMG) you have a role to fulfill which is; Read the script, stay in character, and dont skew too much off script... and always ALWAYS keep the news in the focus (and not yourself). The issue at hand, and some video references (or evicence, if you wonna turn this into a crime investigation lol): - First time I SAW him on WAN show... no wait.. really just pick ANY WAN show which stars James: https://youtu.be/C0UeWlaeBOA https://youtu.be/GMF9Av4BhLE And here the latest WAN show: https://youtu.be/rOpYUw2V4B0 If this isn't enough for you... I got the meat of the treat here: Please tell me your thoughts... Here we see the alpha male reassuring his audience of his dominance: And here we see a silent gazelle camly sipping off the lake in serenity, UNTILL ABRUPLTY DISTURBED BY A VICIOUS CARNIVORE (roar.. it's james time): This time it's Riley time..... deal with it. My honest suggestion for Linus Media Group is NOT to fire or dismiss him, but to merely give him less screen time (and microphone time in general)... seems like it's getting to his head. Please be kind to James in the comments. My concerns lies at LMG.
  14. Yeah, I set up the steam cache on my friends old gaming pc with 1 samsung ssd. It worked fine first, capping out the ssd at around 550 mbps. But after a few restarts, it doesnt work. In fact now I download slower than my internet speed.... at 25-35 mbps. And sometimes it really craps itself and goes down to like 500 KBPS! It's not the ssd that's full. There's over 200 gigs left! Does any one know what could be wrong?
