When did James become a corporate shill? (Serious Question) He made Nerd videos and other content for at least a decade with no forced sponsorship (yeah, the older Nerd episodes still have the Screw Attack/GameTrailers logos, but that's it), and now he's advertising products at the beginning of most videos. I can almost bet that this was a Screenwave decision - considering the Slobs join in, with their unfunny skits.
