    I live on a military base. Just as soon as the Nerd realized the third party controller wasn't for the 5200, a mortar went off in one of the ranges nearby. Priceless.

    Still cracks me up he goes through all the trouble to get the huge extension cord because the tv cord isn't long enough and doesn't reach the outlet... only to just move the television set afterwards anyways.

      Best part is moving the TV was unnecessary. Only reason the box didnt reach the TV is that the power cord went through the cupboard due to trying to hook it up to the main TV eariler. He could've just unplugged it, pulled the cord off the back and plug it back in. But i do think the whole thing was done on purpose for the video.

    This is one of the first AVGN video that made me a fan. Just want to say for the record... my 5200 worked great when I was a kid. The games had better graphics and playability than the 2600. the were the closest we could get (at the time) to arcade versions at home.

    This is a game review.
    This is what you immedately think of whenever you hear the term.
    It's the Angry Video Game Nerd, and it defines the word: “classic.”
    Even though the videos are so simple and the effects so primative,
    it has a charm that can never be matched.
    The props and edits barely represent what they’re suppose to be, but that’s the whole beauty of it. It helps to use your imagination.
    Sound Effects...
    “FUCK!” “ASSSSSSS!”
    Just awesome.
    The lack of music just enhances the mood.
    It's that special kind of atmosphere when you’re in the computer room, on the giant leather computer chair, pulling up UA-cam to check out the new Nerd video.
    The AVGN has had the longest life-span of any old school video game reviewer.
    When people say “game reviewers,” they're usually referring to the Angry Video Game Nerd.

  • @kevinfishburne
    @kevinfishburne 5 років тому

    I've been a fan of your videos for a while, but this may be your best. It clearly shows the plight of the modern Nerd, and echoes deeply within our hearts as we build our game rooms and introduce our children to the joy and rage of shitty old games. Thank you, as always.

      This is arguable. The answer can be PC, PS2, Atari, SEGA Master System. Everyone argues for different reason too. I'd bet "Windows DOS", being a series of OS and any game compatible, is actually the answer, despite modern Windows being unable to play them by default since Vista.
