* After years and years, Mike finally ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YGv3aAPK9Y beat]]'' ''VideoGame/DrJekyllAndMrHyde''!

* ''James And Mike Play VideoGame/MarioPaint''. Sure, it's mostly comical, but the long montage at the end of Mike using the ''SNES Mouse'' to draw all sorts of surprisingly (for the hardware) well done artwork of games such as ''VideoGame/MickeyMania'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand'', ''VideoGame/PunchOut'', ''VideoGame/StarFox'', ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime Turtles In Time]]'', ''VideoGame/Metroid1'', ''VideoGame/BubbleBobble'', ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'', ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'', and ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'', complete with the appropriate music playing during each segment, is just amazing, especially how he pulled it off with an SNES mouse on ''VideoGame/MarioPaint'' of all things. His drawing of The Nerd at the end, even if it was erased prematurely, was also pretty good. [[WordOfGod Mike himself]] mentioned in the comments that each drawing was done once a day and took roughly an hour. He also mentioned that each time he was finished with one, his hand became very sore. As he put it, "Man was not meant to draw on a Mario Paint mouse pad!"

* Getting zombie guru Creator/GeorgeARomero to make a quick Cameo in his ''[[Film/DawnOfTheDead1978 Dawn of the Dead]]'' Monster Madness review.

* In episode 3 of ''Cinemassacre Mailbag,'' in between laughs, he declares a line from one e-mail directed to him to be "the greatest fucking quote [he's] ever read." The line in question: [[spoiler:"Live like a windrammer as you fuck."]] Overlaps big-time with SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.

* The AVGN movie will be premiering '''in Hollywood at the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre'''!

** To put into perspective, the comedian Dane Cook criticized James for assuming he disliked the movie because it had women in it. Everyone's response? Everybody who've seen the Instagram post lambasted Dane and calling him out by how hypocritical he is (if you know Dane, he's quite taken by females) and how he's a dated comedian (remember, he's already a controversial figure in the world of comedy). The comment leveled at James was so unfair that even Dane's fans called out Dane. Dane has since removed the comment; however, since this is the Internet, it's safe to say Dane Cook is not gonna live this down for quite a while.

* James [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz8X2A7wHyQ saying that he will not see]] ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'', which takes serious balls when you consider that most of, if not all of, the criticism towards the movie is dismissed as sexism and misogyny. Even better is how calmly he assesses the situation and explains his position - in stark contrast to the InternetBackdraft that he unfortunately received immediately after releasing the video.

* There's one for [[MeanCharacterNiceActor James Rolfe]]: His ''Franchise/StarWars'' review videos, a surprisingly deep analysis of the iconic film series. Most of us will come out of watching those videos seeing ''Franchise/StarWars'' in a whole new light and gaining a greater appreciation for what it stands for.

** Another impressive 16mm film in James Rolfe's collection is a first run print of ''Film/FrankensteinVersusTheWolfMan'', which goes back to '''1943'''.

* "Cinemassacre 200", a documentary about how he started making movies. He goes over the many innovative ways he made his short films, despite having very limited resources. It really is inspirational, especially to aspiring filmmakers, to see what he accomplished with no budget, no sets, no modern editing software, and oftentimes no actors aside from himself.

* In his SNES vs Genesis videos, James as a little kid is trying to defend Nintendo by pointing out the Tiger Games, posters, Power Pad, Zapper Gun (or as he called it, the Power Gun), walkthroughs, characters, and the fact that the controllers have stickers on them. Later, he defends the SNES by pointing how how its graphics scale and have high resolution--or as he says, "resoluation."
** As his younger self gets more and more into it, James pauses and says he went over his present-day self's head.

* [[http://cinemassacre.com/2013/01/04/name-that-tune-metallica/ In "Name That Tune: Metallica"]], James correctly guesses "Cure" off of ''Load'' from '''a fraction of the opening drum beat'''. Even Mike is extremely surprised, considering the vagueness of the provided sample.
** James correctly guessing not just the song and the album, but the original artist (it's a cover), the year, and even the ''album disc''.

** One for fans, doubling as a heartwarming moment. After the video was released, a number of online publications and a few well-known celebrities took to the internet to [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch call James and his AVGN series sexist]]. The outpouring of people defending James was ''massive'' to say the least, and now the video sits with the likes vastly outnumbering the dislikes (as of this edit, over 116,000 likes to just over 6,000 dislikes), which really goes to show how much respect he has earned from people.

** Also, a point for being quiet and respectful towards those involved in the production of the new movie. In fact, he only mentioned the gender-flipped casting once - and he did so just to point out that, because the new film calls itself "''Ghostbusters''" without a subtitle differentiating it from [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 the original film]], people have been calling it "the female ''Ghostbusters''" just because they need a way to tell it apart. He didn't attack the film for starring a team of women at all.

* The Dream Phone episode of BoardJames being released on April 1st and not being an April Fool's Joke.

He didn't attack the film for starring a team of women at all.

** Also, a point for being quiet and respectful towards those involved in the production of the new movie. In fact, he never even mentioned anything about the gender-flipped casting.

** One for fans include over 40,000 likes over 2,000 dislikes in said video. It might not seem like much, but seeing that along with comments of encouragement proves that despite large amounts of people calling James sexist, there are just as much if not more people support him and scoff at such notions.
