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.

For his first Christmas review, the Nerd decides to review a few unlicensed Bible games for the NES and Super Nintendo. The most obscured game of the bunch would have to be Super Noah's Ark 3D. Only cause it's the only first person shooter where you get to play as Noah. The game is basically a clone of Wolfenstein 3D which is a better first person shooter to play. The Nerd is confused as to why there are so many goats inside the ark and the reason for Noah to be attacked by goats is a mystery.

The Nerd takes a break from reviewing games to do this special episode in which he gives out his analysis on game and movie franchises with confusing titles and chronological orders. In the first part he complains about the bundle of remakes to Street Fighter 2, the spin-offs to Mega Man, and the unreleased titles to Final Fantasy. The second part of the review is where he mentions certain movie titles with confusing sequel titles or spin-offs. Particulary the Zombie movie franchise being a sequel franchise to Dawn of the Dead without George Ramero's involvement.

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.

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 ...

The Nerd stumbles across a super rare Super Famicom game that is said to be the worst game ever made. He's reviewed some horrible titles before, like Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, CrazyBus, Big Rigs, Desert Bus and Superman 64 to name a few, but this takes this crap factor to a whole new level.
