Title: Angry Video Game Nerd
Post by: Methid Man on January 12, 2008, 01:05:56 pm
Any video game fan has got to see some videos by the Angry Video Game Nerd (http://cinemassacre.com/AVGN/Nes_Nerd_videos.html). (WARNING: Videos contain a slew of swear words, one of the Nerd's character traits. The site itself gives its own warning)

This guy makes the funniest joke reviews of bad games (mostly old games) while guzzling booze and cussing constantly. It's hilarious. xD

Definitely worth checking out if you're not easily offended by foul language. :3

My favourite's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES. On a sidenote, I think he should do stand-up comedy.

I'll just come out and say it even though I'll probably get e-lynched for it. I never found him to be that amusing. (>:()

Yah. I've been watching this guy for months now. He's hilarious.  :D

My favourites are the Ghostbusters videos. Simply because the game I played as a child (and still play on emulator) was deemed to be the best. Ah... those indestructible coffee cups.

The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout is perhaps my favorite of all.

Bugs Bunny Birthday BEATING!

My cousin introduces me to his videos, and needless to say, i laughed. Doesn't he have ADD or something like that too?

The immaturity of his style makes it most certainly is NOT for everyone, and I can understand many finding him unfunny. The guy plays his character well and does some hilarious facial expressions, though I often find myself rolling my eyes rather than laughing at the many times when he goes overboard on a rant.

That said, I'm very much amused by the Bible Games, Ghostbusters and Dragon Lair NES videos, though that's probably mainly due to how ridiculous the games themselves are.

I hope this guy does the KNT NES game. :D

I think hearing him bad-mouthing the SPC game would be hilarious. Don't you think?

*awkward silence + crickets*

^_^! Please don't nail me to a tree.

The Bible Games episode is quite long. Madness... That was a Christmas special, wasn't it?

Yeah, the Nerd has ADHD like he said on one video which I can't remember. Besides that, he's only acting after all - so much that the very sight of his expressions every time I look in the Gametrailers website where a majority of his videos are found makes me LOL so much. As for the profanity, I only watch him when I'm in the mood, get psyched up, that sorta thing. That's how I roll...  8)

Cool, I had the Sega Master System version too. ^_^

He should review 'Battletoads', that tough motha of a game for the NES. See if he even gets past level 3 with the ridiculously fast, trap-laiden hovership track. 8.

If he didn't it was due to personal rule of not reviewing games that he does not own and play on the physical system. He does not do emulated games apparently.

Even though I like the AVGN, that complete rip-off artist, The Irate Gamer, makes me laugh more. Not sure why though...
