The Official Angry Video Game Nerd Discussion Thread

[Pezcore343]

Wow this thread has gotten super douchey in the last few weeks. Glad to see everyone still hates everyone, and the world keeps spinning.

Also, not to sound over critical, but Nathan doesn't pretend to have Down Syndrome, or even mentally handicapped. I think people need to stop using Down Syndrome as a general catch-all form of retardation. Just makes you look retarded. (See what I did there?)

Any hints as to what the game will be?

I dunno, but he's showing a preview of the episode at the first day of PAX this Friday as well.

[Famidrive-16]

Some info about his other non-AVGN projects:

For anyone who’s curious, here’s what I’m up to, outside of monthly AVGN and Spike videos.

1. BOARD JAMES
I’ve been trying to get another Board James episode out since April, but there hasn’t been any spare time. The next one won’t be anywhere near as spectacular as the last, but hey, the Mr. Bucket episode was a great way to segue into a break. Hopefully the new one will be done before I go into Halloween hibernation.

2. CINEMASSACRE’S MONSTER MADNESS
“Madness” is exactly what it is. Churning out 31 videos for October is a huge undertaking, but it’s fun bringing obscure horror films to light. I’ve really been enjoying all your voice-over submissions. I hope with the videos, I can live up to them. (See past years’ marathons here: 2007, 2008, 2009.)

3. PLAN 9 REMAKE
Darkstone Entertainment’s making a big remake of the “worst film of all time” Plan 9 From Outer Space. I’ll be playing a supporting role. Expecting to shoot Spring 2011.

4. AVGN DVD VOL 4.
I plan to start on this as soon as I humanely can. I expect it to go out November or December, usual time. They’ll be some good outtakes from the Crazy Castle episode. Other than that, I’m not sure how many bonus features there will be, but it will be packed with all the episodes from 2009. Buy past DVD’s here.

5. THE BLOB DOCUMENTARY
In the summer of 2008, I shot this documentary about the movie The Blob and have been trying to edit it ever since. Part of it covers the annual Blobfest celebration in Phoenixville, PA. The other part is a tour of filming locations from the original 1958 classic. For 2 and a half years now, this video has been dead in the water. Hopefully this Fall/Winter, I can sit down and finish it.

6. FEATURE FILM
Once I’m caught up enough and have some extra time to breathe, I’ll get to work on my first big film. Since it’s not happening any time real soon, I don’t want to spoil anything yet.

Also…
NEW AVGN this Friday.

New episode? I think...

[joshnickerson]

New Nerd!

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/an...wattack/703826

Nice little revisit to his earlier reviews, as well as a review of a couple of other Back to the Future games.

EDIT: Oops, sorry, didn't see Megasdkirby up there.

[Baloo]

Good episode.

I hope the last game he's talking about revisiting is The Karate Kid, since he already revisited Castlevania II.

[Orion Pimpdaddy]

Good episode.

I hope the last game he's talking about revisiting is The Karate Kid, since he already revisited Castlevania II.

The way he said it made me think he was talking about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It would make sense, since in that review he only showed about 10 seconds of the game.

[Famidrive-16]

Great to see him finally get a chance to play BTTF SFC.

[yoshilime53]

The way he said it made me think he was talking about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It would make sense, since in that review he only showed about 10 seconds of the game.

I have a hunch that mystery character in the last title card is mr hyde. o we can expect a review on such later.

What really did it for me in the video was that part about jason shooting first. That had me watching the video twice and laughing like a maniac. Seeing the AFC BTTF also made me smile, just to his reactions and how the game looked awesome.

[Baloo]

Yeah, that SFC Back to the Future game looked amazing, I was liking it for the music alone.

[joshnickerson]

I played the SFC BttF a few years ago via emulator. It's a decent platformer, nothing spectacular, but compared to the U.S. games, it's freakin Super Mario World.

[Urzu402]

Just a question from the Urzu402, Why is his (James Rolfe's) TMNT cart green? Is it a strange repro? or was a green cart actually released?

[joshnickerson]

It's a repro case; the original case was probably damaged, or used as a "stunt case"

[Greg2600]

Outstanding episode from his Nerdiness! Jabbed at George Lucas's insanity, Top gun plane flying out the window, called the Roger Rabbit number and got sex talk, and the maddening jumps in TMNT...hilarious.

His reaction on "discovering" BTTF II SFC was priceless, I just about fell off the chair laughing. I actually was about as startled as he was. I didn't remember that game even existing, but then again, I've never actively sought out SFC games. It's also not a game that usually comes up on rom sites or in rom torrents for SNES.

[ubersaurus]

I half expect the next game to be Dick Tracy, but I don't know what else could be said about that one.

[kupomogli]

Great video. That's his best one in quite awhile.

[BetaWolf47]

Hah, that was funny. The sex talk part was effing hilarious.

[emceelokey]

Meh, Irate did all those games before him. Screw this piece of Cowabunga Shit!

This episode felt more like a dvd extra though.

[Jorpho]

I was expecting some overwrought special-effects-laden time travel gag. But this was cool too.

My money is also on Dr. Jekyll. After looking it up on GameFAQs, it actually sounds like it has a halfway-interesting mechanic, albeit a horribly implemented one.

Love AVGN
