The Official Angry Video Game Nerd Discussion Thread

[Greg2600]

Just watched the Wizard of Oz episode, very very funny, and then the Intellivision episode, also terrific. I had one neighbor who had Intellivision, and played it a few times, over 20 years ago. I remember around 84/85/86, before NES got huge, I had only the 2600, and being only around 8 years old, shopping at Toys R Us, and couldn't understand why the Intellivision graphics looked so much better than the 2600, yet no one had the Intellivision. Jimmy explained why very clearly, the controls were hideous!

I checked out the Happy Video Game Nerd, finally. Not bad considering the entire ripoff of AVGN--at least it'll give me something to watch between AVGN eps.

if you think AVGN is harsh when it come to reviews.. i have one thing to tell ya! Just watch the I-Rate Gamer on his take on contra. he just pissed me off so much on his contra review. i didnt think anyone could dislike contra so much, but thats also his persona "i-rate"

Pfft, Thats nothing. His Zombies Ate My Neighbors review pissed me off. Quote: "it deserves to be put through the meat grinder" Although he did point out a few true things in it, it doesn't deserve hate. Maybe if you're on a rescue spree and a chainsaw guy gets too close, But thats different.

But this isn't gamefaqs. Carry on with a real discussion.

Another great video. The INTV was my first game system, so at first it was kind of jarring to see some of my old favorites get trashed by the nerd. But it makes sence now that I think about it, I just got used to the crappy controls and don't think anything of them for most of the games. I guess anyone playing an INTV for the first time really would hate the controls with a passion. I'm surprised he didn't point out how painful hitting those fire buttons can get after a while. I'm looking forward to his Colecovision review.

[...] I just got used to the crappy controls and don't think anything of them for most of the games.[...]

Can you imagine the fury if someone released that controller today? I dare say someone may get physically injured. We didn't know there could be better designs. I look at it today and say, "Man, I played hours of Tron Deadly Discs and Utopia on THAT?!"

I enjoyed part one but I'm getting sick of this multiple part stuff people are doing as I hate waiting on the second part to arrive

He's a busy man. I'd rather have videos spaced out instead of him getting burned out all at once and leave it for other projects.

I've been watching his videos for over a year now. I tell you folks, I really admire the guy. As a filmmaker and fellow video game collector myself (who also did his share of stage acting in school), I immediately felt a kinship with this guy. I "got it" from the get go. He is an amazing talented filmmaker who is devoting his hard work and time to his "other passion"... video games. Retro classic games at that!

Game 'on man! I eagerly await all of your works!

are you saying obese acne ridden girls can't be models? *sigh* i thought better of you man.

That's why there is MTV's show, MADE.

[7th lutz]

Double Vision Part 2 is up. He talks about the Colecovision in part 2. Here is the link: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32647.html.

really? i havn't watched MTV since they stopped playing music.

[murdoc rose]

I love my VB lol. I was kind of offended but its not like he was making anything up. I also wanted to hear what he had to say about jack bros because I think it may be my favorite game for the system.Over all it is cool that some one does stuff like this.

[jcalder8]

I wasn't too impressed with the colecovision, but that's mostly because I wish that he had talked about more games and spent less time going on about the controller and the accessories.

The look of Donkey Kong for ColecoVision floored me. I don't know how it played...

I understand that and I wouldn't have any issue with more time between videos if multi-part ones were released as single episodes. I'm just a normal American looking for instant gratification.

[Coldguy]

Lmao one of his biggest pet peeves....giant AC adaptors! Not as good as the intellavision episode but funny non the less.

[Kitsune Sniper]

You'll note how he said at the end that there's some great games on the system, but he concentrates on the crap? "That's the name of the game! *frowns*"

I hope more of his fans start realizing that the systems he reviews aren't that bad. He just focuses on the crap.

Someone get him Action 52! That's a seaons and a half of shows right there.

He has it already...it is on his list.

He didn't show Donkey Kong, did he?

By the way, what was up with the Smurfs game? Is it really just walking from left to right, with no enemies or obstacles whatsoever? If so, what's the point?
