Angry Video Game Nerd

10 Beste Episodes of Angry Video Game Nerd - Season 2

The titular Nerd character is an ill-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from excessive and inventive use of profanity, frequent displays of explicit gestures, and heavy consumption of beer, particularly Rolling Rock or Yuengling, to "soothe the pain". A particular characteristic is his favorable comparison of extremely repulsive and painful, usually firmly scatological, acts to playing the games he reviews. Varying amounts of physical comedy are mixed into the verbal abuse.

#15 - Fester's Quest (Staffel 2 - Folge 17)

Dressed as every member of the Addams Family, the Nerd reviews Fester's Quest, an overly long and overly difficult game that he deems is not worth the effort. He destroys it with Gomez's train and moves on to the movie licensed game on Sega. Another creepy and kooky game.

#14 - Die Hard (Staffel 2 - Folge 11)

The Nerd fins the front cover of the Die Hard game to be a little controversial due to it depicting a skyscraper being blown up which he advices that we all know what it reminds us of. Though he puts that issue aside and starts playing the game on his NES. While the terrorists in the game are able to take 3/4's of John McClain's health away, the Nerd's biggest complaint for the game is the dark areas that only light up when you enter the area which makes it inconvenient when there's a terrorist lurking in that area and you don't know it unless you go into that area. ...

#13 - Atari 5200 (Staffel 2 - Folge 3)

The Nerd shows clips of various games to the Atari 2600 and expresses how it defines the term classic video games. He mentions that there were successors to the console that came and disappear within a couple years. Like the 5200 that was meant to replace the 2600, but it failed and eventually faded from the market. The main reason was because of the size of the console and AC adapter. While hooking it up to the TV with it's limited cable range makes it a real chore. After the Nerd goes through the painful process of trying to hook it up while almost breaking his back...

As the Nerd watches himself play the bad game he sees how frustrated he himself gets from playing a poorly marketed game that basically just has Shaq placed in a poorly executed fighting game. The game was so bad that a website...

#10 - Spider-Man (Staffel 2 - Folge 7)

The Nerd plays Spider-Man for the Atari 2600. He finds it to be a frustrating, Godawful mess, but thankfully Spidey himself shows up to give the Nerd a hand. When he fails at beating his own game, they move on to an NES version... which is also a piece of crap. The Game Boy game is the worst of all, as Spidey fails to beat it while dangling from the Nerd's ceiling. To top it all off, the Nerd plays the Spider-Man 2 game for Game Boy Advance, which is decent enough, except it depicts Spidey as a pizza delivery boy.

#9 - Atari Porn (Staffel 2 - Folge 15)

The Nerd does a brief history lecture on General George Armstrong Custard, only cause he's about to review one of the adult theme games for the Atari 2600. The game in general is "Custard's Revenge" which like the other Atari adult games was unlicensed and the Atari company had nothing to do with them. And just for fun, the Nerd reviews other Atari adult games only to find that each one either made no sense in how the game play is mastered or how the ideas for the games looked like they were thought up by sick minded game developers.

#7 - Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout (Staffel 2 - Folge 14)

The review starts off in the same fashion as a Looney Tunes short film. The Nerd reviews Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout which is nothing more than a poor man's Super Mario Bros. style slide scroller game. While the game is generous of providing extra lives, it however suffers from being unorganized by having breakable blocks placed over bottom-less pits and enemies that can hurt you even if you hurt them. Upon reviewing the game the Nerd is visited by Bugs Bunny himself, which the Nerd gives out his hatred by beaten the daylights out of the poor rabbit while trying to ...

#6 - Silver Surfer (Staffel 2 - Folge 10)

The AVGN tackles one of the hardest games in the NES library: Silver Surfer. What makes it so hard is that SS dies with a single hit, and the levels are packed to the brims with obstacles, projectiles and inconsistent scenery. If you touch anything, game over.

#2 - Ghostbusters (Staffel 2 - Folge 4)

Since the Nerd is a huge fan of Ghostbusters, having collected all kinds of toys and memorabilia, including the Nintendo game. He completely eviscerates this horribly misconceived video game that has horrible graphics, unspeakable game play, a near-impossible stairwell level and very little to do with the movie it's based upon.

#1 - Nintendo Power Memories (Staffel 2 - Folge 16)

The Nerd does a tribute to the magazine Nintendo Power by showing selected ads that were made exclusive to the magazine, the posters, the walk-through content, and the fan letters that are answered by the staff. The Nerd praises it for being the earliest way to know how to beat the toughest Nintendo games. Before the Internet became more common to use the only way to know how to beat a game is by magazine subscription. Besides the magazine being very nostalgic, the Nerd also points out some things that he finds absurd like how the posters are hard to take out, the ...
