To think that was the same year my gf and I finally moved in together. 11 years later, married with a third kid on the way. And still here to enjoy the same nerd. Such a priceless moment.
In fairness, would anyone ever actually think that was the code? I mean you said this, and I'm sure you're right because I wouldn't know, but I still have trouble believing it.
I wanted to say that. Apparently it was changed somewhere in the 80’s when the department of home defense found out. I heard that now it’s a code that changes regularly to make it harder to figure out. Also, keep in mind that they’re stored on the football which can only be opened with the biscuit.
It is honestly so refreshing to see a creator on UA-cam who, after well over a decade of making content on the platform, has consistently made quality content - especially in the ever-evolving (or de-volving) age of the internet. I look forward to James and the team always pushing forward while not ever compromising their values. This video was highly anticipated by the AVGN community, and it didn't disappoint.
Well, you got your wish! But on two conditions: 1. In 57 years, the game will either be patched to perfection, or completely obsolete and unplayable. 2. The Nerd will either be on life support, or his brain will be poured in to a computer, GlaDos-style.
Probably what’s happening to him after his pop music career ends. After 11 years of ass pop songs, he and his fans are constructing a fucking drug satellite that gets everyone & everything high via clouds of cocaine and the constant looping of “Give Me Everything Tonight”.
When you joked about reviewing the game in 2020, I was like "that's so long ahead. He'll never do it". Good on you for keeping your promise on what should have been a small gag
I knew he'd do it actually. If there's anyone who'll revisit a something year old cut-away joke for the laugh to satisfy the community, it'd be the fucking Nerd, and I just find that glorious
So many internet channels and personalities die out or have to reinvents themselves. AVGN has been around so long and been so consistent he may just be the longest lasting internet sensation
It's especially true when you remember that he pretty much started the whole online game review trend. Everyone who became big doing the same thing owes their success to The Fucking Nerd.
The end had me dying, lol. - Sim City 3000 in the year 3000. - Time travel to the 90's and do all the Madden games. - Go to the year 64 and review the N64 games. I just laughed more and more as it got more absurd, haha.
@@Mushroom378 I suppose he could do that in the chinese year of the tiger... oh wait a company already nabbed that one :3 . We'd better get an all in one super-review of every such game the next year of the tiger 3:) .
Hilarious ending. Almost felt like a "Take That!" to all the people who asked him to review Raid 2020 because it was the year 2020 (To say nothing of when he reviewed Street Fighter 2010 in 2010).
It's funny that he calls it Raid Twenty-Twenty now but back in the old AVGN video, he calls it Raid Two Thousand Twenty. As the 2010s progressed, lots of people stopped saying "Two Thousand X" and started saying "Twenty-X". Idk why I find that little linguistic detail interesting.
That's very true actually I never even noticed that I stopped saying 'two-thousand and nine' or 'two-thousand and ten,' now it's 'twenty-'something. Interesting quirk
12:35 "Wow, what a bleak future ColoredDreams painted for the year 2020". How little did he know that their vision was a stark understatement of how bad 2020 was going to be.
He he 2020 bad. Easiest joke to make ever besides that the grand majority of everyone is living their same exact normal life while others are getting a lot of money from the government
@@sebastianriz4703 seriously. Aside from the slight inconvenience of wearing a mask while shopping this year is better then 2019. Atleast where I live.
According to Phineas and Ferb, a nerd only has three Nerd Words. Once a nerd gives someone their nerd word three times, they can never give someone their nerd word again...
He kind-of does... if anything, some (not all) of these recent AVGN episodes, while still decent, are feeling less like AVGN episodes and more like "slightly irritated James."
"I bet nuclear launch codes aren't as complicated at this." Well... Around 60's to 80's, the US launch code was just zero's. AND, the operators would keep the code punched in so they would only have to hit one button. So, yes, yes, they were more simple.
The nuclear launch was literally 00000000, because they are more afraid of the supposed launcher to fail to launch than for the terrorists to launch it without permit.
Wow, I can’t believe we’re actually here watching the Raid 2020 review after waiting over a decade! I’ve been watching Cinemassacre since 2009, and it’s crazy how quickly time passes.
Never thought I'd see the day you would review this. Honestly I wasn't expecting where any of us would be in the year 2020 but I am glad that you are still making Nerd episodes all these years later. Especially with how busy your life has gotten the last 6 years. Anyways keep up the good work Nerd!
"Maybe I'll review that in the year 2020!" My heart melted. Bless you, Nerd. I've been waiting for this video for quite some time, and you managed to stay true to yourself, and the fans.
Remember when he reviewed “street fighter 2010” ...good god.. mad respect to James for going strong all these years and still managing to pull views and stay fun to watch
I reckons it's because James isint a UA-camr he was raised with old school camcorders, and made movies as a kid and teen, it's in his blood, unlike the thousands of UA-camrs who have zero substance and even less charisma.
@Ultra CNC yes, just because it was a special metal edition of the intro and not some teenager trendy sh1t like "despacito" or trap it isnt good for you... Its the same intro as always just in metalic style
I gotta say, I really like this episode. As wonderful as it is to watch James go nuts bringing in fancy costumes, and props and gimmics to the table, this felt like a great throwback to his original style, sticking to snarky comments and exasperated ranting.
@@theca558 lol that was the joke.. I figured people in the AVGN comment section would get it. I got the Matrix date wrong so I figured I'm on some alternate timeline. :P
Nobody noticed that the review is exactly 20:20 long when you subtract the time of commercial and introduction (scene from 11 year old AVGN episode) ? Raid 2020 reviewed in year 2020 in a 20:20 long video review. Nice one James.
He is until he decides to write movies. The AVGN Movie is sooooo badly written it's obnoxiously comical! lolol Almost all the episodes are classics tho haha
@@TheUltimateRage that was point, it was supposed to comically b level movie material. It wasnt meant to be like jaws where it accidentally was a masterpiece.
The 80s: Going on a spree killing drug dealers Now in GTA: Going on a spree killing cops after drug deals and heists Oh the evolution of video games lol
He kept his word - he DID raid this game on 2020! And ye - once again, a futuristic game proved that the future looks NOTHING like those dumb envisions made some thirty years ago.
I think the one most likely to become a reality is Fallout: Equestria. In all seriousness, the future will probably be a hybrid of Fallout, Wall-E, Idiocracy, and 1984.
If he wants to review Cyberpunk 2077, Nerd needs to make a clone of himself and carry the PS4/Xbox One versions - Cyberpunk 2077 on last gen consoles is bad.
@@DuckReconMajor doesnt mean it's a bad game, just because you people wrongly thought it was gonna be the second coming of video games, it's your own fault. I've been playing on PS5 on I'm having a blast
They really aren't that complicated there though. You just pick up what, 8 number-letter combinations? Decode them, use a nuclear keycard, you're gucci
A throwaway line, with a magnificent payoff and those of us who didn't forget. Thank you James, who knows if we do indeed get more years to look forward to for these things? For now, let me just say thanks for being on board with this one, it was worth every second.

"Playing Cyberpunk 2077 in the year 2077"
Stop right there, they may delay it a bit more
James will be 96.
@@a.t.2112 Or dead.
@@SarahPlaysVideoGames nah he seems like a very healthy person but he does love his alcohol XD. How old are you?
And that's if we don't get nuked before Halloween starts.
2077 is the expected release date
Never thought I'd see the day you would review this. Honestly I wasn't expecting where any of us would be in the year 2020 but I am glad that you are still making Nerd episodes all these years later. Especially with how busy your life has gotten the last 6 years. Anyways keep up the good work Nerd!
Wholesome 1000
"Maybe I'll review that in the year 2020!"
My heart melted. Bless you, Nerd. I've been waiting for this video for quite some time, and you managed to stay true to yourself, and the fans.
Ironically, a nuclear launch code was once 0
Hello
I look forward to seeing your comments on AVGN episodes so I can downvote them.

You're on the wrong website, buddy
Also, you forgot that you have to review Fallout 76 in 2076. Oh wait, the servers will be shut down by 2021, nevermind.
Gunchap Red awesome 😎
That wouldn't stop him from playing gta london 1969 in the year 1969
I'd imagine reviewing Fallout 76 in the year 76
Fallout 76 is coming to steam
Aldaroth I hope so, but nothing about the track record is giving me hope.
10 years
10 years James waited to make this episode
If that isn’t a testament to the dedication his craft, I don’t know what is
After 11 years of waiting:
Jeff Goldbloom: "Well, there it is"
tehiratepirate it’s Goldblum with an Um not an Oom.
tehiratepirate what a piece of shit
I'm simply saying that life will, uh, find a way.
> If Cyberpunk2077 turn out bad, I can review it...
Oh boy, what a turn of events~
Remember when he reviewed “street fighter 2010” ...good god.. mad respect to James for going strong all these years and still managing to pull views and stay fun to watch
I reckons it's because James isint a UA-camr he was raised with old school camcorders, and made movies as a kid and teen, it's in his blood, unlike the thousands of UA-camrs who have zero substance and even less charisma.
Nickersons Theme, still a newb UA-camr can be good as well
He's not nearly as funny as he used to be. Maybe he's just out of ideas.
@Ultra CNC So edgy.
@Ultra CNC yes, just because it was a special metal edition of the intro and not some teenager trendy sh1t like "despacito" or trap it isnt good for you...
Its the same intro as always just in metalic style
I love how this episode is just like the classic AVGN episodes.
Exactly. He hasn't lost his touch. It's refreshing.
I still remember that day when he said: "maybe I'll review that in the year 2020"
And here we are.
I CLAPPED BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT THAT IS 👏🏿
I remember when people in 2018 were saying "2 more years!"
Can send me a link!?
@@Joslyn_Josh Bible games. No, seriously. The episode is called Bible games 2.
I gotta say, I really like this episode. As wonderful as it is to watch James go nuts bringing in fancy costumes, and props and gimmics to the table, this felt like a great throwback to his original style, sticking to snarky comments and exasperated ranting.
That rant at the end was legendary. I love how it just faded out.
" … in the year Jaguar …"
@@glowingunknown5625 Because Apples' naming them now!
Definitely one of the Nerd's best mental breakdowns.
I love how he just gave up and started rambling incoherently.
“Poopity poopity turd fuck fuck fuck... and shit sauce...”
Who is this robot man who came from the future to show us video tv games
It’s finally here. After 11 years
When he gets back in time because of the machine, he'll play Hong Kong 97 in 1997
If he will get to find a physical copy of it and play it on Super Wild Card add-on for the Nintendo Super Famicom
that's probably what caused the glitch in the Matrix (came out in 98)
space koala In my timeline the matrix came out June 1999.
@@FromeFmAjayD Crap I guess I'm in the Berenstein timeline..
@@theca558 lol that was the joke.. I figured people in the AVGN comment section would get it. I got the Matrix date wrong so I figured I'm on some alternate timeline. :P
2:04 It was the Nerd all along who ate the COVID bat!
An episode that's been hyped for a decade.
Nobody noticed that the review is exactly 20:20 long when you subtract the time of commercial and introduction (scene from 11 year old AVGN episode) ? Raid 2020 reviewed in year 2020 in a 20:20 long video review. Nice one James.
Damir Bubimir
Ehhh kind of a stretch tbh
Lol hope it was intentional, if so then this is awesome
The video is 23:51
Easter egg
Demented Duskull considering what he did with Board James, it’s not really much of one.
To be fair, Raid: 2020 is an accurate depiction of the year 2020
Mermaid Boy especially the bats
Don’t forget the cyborg drug dealers
And the drug satellite
And the giant mice in the laundry room
It gets more accurate with every passing day
Guess he's reviewing Cyberpunk 2077 in 2077.
we'll remind him heading to 2077.
When people think it's a bad game
"I'll play Atari Jaguar in the year Jaguar, because now Apple is naming them . . ."

a legit possible future?

Nah, Apple aren't big enough. Disney on the other hand....
@@develynseether4426 What are you talking about? Apple is much bigger
Now we'll have to wait for a review of the sequel: Raid: Shadowlegends!
Quality comment. Not receiving enough praise. Good work! :D
Lmao
Oooo, I'd love for the ACGN to rip that shitload of fuckery a new one
The quiet "what were they thinking?" right at the end, made me smile.
21:45 (inhales through teeth)
I love his ramble at the end.
I often overlook the fact that James is a legit good writer.
pgj1997 Yo! I see you a lot on old h*r episodes
He is until he decides to write movies. The AVGN Movie is sooooo badly written it's obnoxiously comical! lolol Almost all the episodes are classics tho haha
@@TheUltimateRage that was point, it was supposed to comically b level movie material. It wasnt meant to be like jaws where it accidentally was a masterpiece.
The 80s: Going on a spree killing drug dealers
Now in GTA: Going on a spree killing cops after drug deals and heists
Oh the evolution of video games lol
Now in Illinois:marijuana is legalized
He kept his word - he DID raid this game on 2020!
And ye - once again, a futuristic game proved that the future looks NOTHING like those dumb envisions made some thirty years ago.
I think the one most likely to become a reality is Fallout: Equestria. In all seriousness, the future will probably be a hybrid of Fallout, Wall-E, Idiocracy, and 1984.
To be honest, the Techopolis place could pass off as Silicon Valley.
@@edwardmerriam6970 Living there for 20+ years, I can confirm this.
TheLambdaTeam amazing I saw that too
If he wants to review Cyberpunk 2077, Nerd needs to make a clone of himself and carry the PS4/Xbox One versions - Cyberpunk 2077 on last gen consoles is bad.
There's still a ton of issues, cut content, and lack of depth in the PC version.
Maybe the mantle of the Nerd will be passed down through generations
@@DuckReconMajor doesnt mean it's a bad game, just because you people wrongly thought it was gonna be the second coming of video games, it's your own fault. I've been playing on PS5 on I'm having a blast
@@DuckReconMajor News flash. Every game has cut content.
"I'll play Atari Jaguar in the year Jaguar" is the best line in the whole series
But will he?
Because we ran out of numbers
I didn't even catch that one lol
Best part of the joke was "because now Apple's naming all of 'em"
Petition to change 2021 to Jaguar just so James has to play it again
Saw the word ”Raid”... thought the sponsors had consumed him for a second
They already took him.......oh nerd! Why have you forsaken us...?!
@@theloczek9582 at least they are "useful" services, unlike that mobile RPG that's acting like an octopus.
If you want, you can think Raid is the name of Swat in France 😂
@@gaindekiryu Their SWAT team is called GIGN.
@@hiddengemgamers9376 I know but there is Raid too...
Best ending, I can't believe James is still making videos after all these years and still finds a way to make them funny.
2:49 (Nerd in 2077) Well I hope you didn't expect much. Because it was a throwaway line. The year 2077 I would review Cyberpunk 2077.
Nerd: "I bet nuclear launch codes aren't as complicated as this!"
Lol, try playing Fallout 76 sometime.
Fun Fact. The nuclear codes used to be all zeros until the 90s.
@@Thumper17 no
NO DONT!
They really aren't that complicated there though. You just pick up what, 8 number-letter combinations? Decode them, use a nuclear keycard, you're gucci
imagine playing fallout 76.
A throwaway line, with a magnificent payoff and those of us who didn't forget. Thank you James, who knows if we do indeed get more years to look forward to for these things? For now, let me just say thanks for being on board with this one, it was worth every second.
All I can say is, he did not disappoint.
