Angry Video Game Nerd returns for hilarious Halloween show

If people are a follower of the Angry Video Game Nerds' antics, they will be pleased to hear that the foul-mouthed social outcast has put together a special edition of the show to celebrate Halloween.

In it he reviews three frighteningly bad Atari 2600 titles, games that have more of an impact on his life than he might ever have imagined.

AVGN has Jumped the Shark. His older reviews were far more funny. But at the same time, he's boatloads better than that Irate Gamer ripoff.

I'm getting really tired of this guy...

AVGN FTW! Nerd rules but I've got to say that I liked his earlier videos a bit more. The ones with NES games and James just bashing them, insulting them, finishing them and drinking (although I loved the Bugs Bunny among recent ones).

goodganja6022d ago

Yeah. His Bugs Bunny review was extremely funny. AVGN review's sometimes depends on the game itself. You can tell when he's trying to force content out of his show. Fester's Quest and any Atari game shows that.

A good example of him letting it rip is the Silver Surfer review. The game is soo ass difficult that it seemed he could naturally rip that game into pieces. Which he did. I would say out of all the AVGN reviews of 2007, Silver Surfer is the best one. But the Bugs Bunny review shows he still "has it". I think he's just been under pressure and not having the time to make the vids as good as he wants to.

Great point and example. I older vids, he let the game do the talking while nowadays, he's kinda hiding the game behind all other crazy non-game stuff.

Bloodmask6022d ago

I think he is pretty funny. His best video was probably the Sega 32X one. Where it had all the power plugs and they wouldn't fit in the power strip.

This video was pretty good but not his best.

MK_Red6022d ago

Agree that it was not his best. But none of his recent ones were that great in terms of fun.

I loved that 32X one too but my faves are the Ghost Busters Trilogy (3 vids) plus Power Glove and Atari 5200 (Love how in the end the new controller doesn't fit and he screams FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU**.

Bloodmask6022d ago

Ghostbusters is tied with 32X I think for the funniest. The best part about the Ghostbusters vids was when the Nerd was trying to make it up the stairs at the end on the NES version and it was impossible. And he got pissed off bc he had to start the game all over again. Another really good one was the Spiderman episode.

MK_Red6022d ago

God, that stairs part was hilarious. The Ghost food! The ending was also perfect. (Loved the error solving part and "conglaturation !!!").

AliC6022d ago

I enjoy all the AVG Nerd videos, newest one put a smile on my face especially since I am having a crappy day :)

Lets hope he isn't away for to long.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
