The Official Angry Video Game Nerd Discussion Thread

I didn't know Masterbating Bear (from Conan O'Brian) was in a video game!

[elvis8atari]

but he still has a point, what kind of bamboo produces cherries?

Exactly. Regardless if it's a Palm tree or a Bamboo tree, it doesn't matter. Cherrys don't fall out of either. So the AVGN is correct.

Also, Ryaan1234. You say that you liked everything, and that was the one minor thing that bothered you. That's fine. But why do people have to point out the one thing that bothers them? If you liked everything else about the video, as you said, why focus on just the one thing that bothered you? How about listing all the things that you DID like about it?

I'll tell you why. Because we live in a world of cynics. Who don't know how to do anything but complain about what they don't like, and don't mention the things in life that are good.

James hasn't reviewed Power Punch II has he? I'm sure it would make quite a review, too. It's one of the worst games I've ever played. It bears a good bit of similarity to the original Punch-Out, but is so difficult it's no fun at all.

So why does little red hood, have to have another game pluged into it when using an original NES , when other unlicensed games dont? also what are the things besides the game genie he plugs into the top of it.....

There are several different ways of defeating the NES lockout chip. Evidently when the cart was produced, the manufacturer just didn't have access to any of those cheaper ways.

Yep, HES, who brought Little Red Hood to Australia from what I'm assuming is a pirate original, did not have the technology to do what Tengen or Codemasters or even Color Dreams did.

When used in a normal NES, Little Red Hood has to have a licensed game on top of it because it piggybacks off of its lockout chip. That's not needed in an NES 2, but the AVGN plugged in a Game Genie, a Famicom pin adapter, and a Famicom game just to demonstrate it I guess.

To bypass the lockout using the liscensed cart's chip, my dear Watson. who is overly concerned with broken Sega CDs and AC adapters. Also, use capitals. Seriously.

[Urzu402]

i knew about the lock out chip, i was just wondering about the question he asked why it needed a game in it and other unlicensed games dont.

EDIT yes my question was answered

[elvis8atari]

Are there any other games like that? With the lockout chip that needs to be bypassed?

[Jorpho]

If there were, Mr. AVGN probably would have mentioned them.

There are probably some hopelessly obscure pirate multicarts (or even single carts) that no one cares about that use a similar design.

Other than Super Noah's Ark 3D for the SNES, which was mentioned in the video, I don't believe so. As Jorpho mentioned, there might be some really obscure games, but those two are the best known.

AVGN Vol. 3 DVD is for sale now, ordered mine.

I'm also ordering one. It has NES Accessories, my fav episode.

I had some game boy player for the N64 that required a first-party N64 game to be plugged in.

Well I have Maxi-15 Pack which is like that. It's an Australian HES game.

AVGN is pushed to next week, along with news of Board James.

AVGN – The Nerd’s annual Christmas episode will be out next week.

BOARD JAMES – I have not abandoned this show in any way. Since Monster Madness and all the extra videos I’ve been pumping out, I’ve had no time for an episode in a while, but I’ve been trying. In fact, the next board game is literally set up on my floor waiting to be filmed. When I get to it, it’ll be a short basic episode similar to the MouseTrap episode and after that, eventually, we’ll get crazy with Motherfucker Mike again.

[guitargary75]

I love the Board James episodes! I can't wait for that one!

Been over two weeks and still no new AVGN video.

[GarrettCRW]

Do you even bother to read new posts in this thread before whining like a two year old?
