Henry B 50 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Wow, that was a quick turnaround. It's too bad that he only does console games, he could have gotten a lot of mileage out of the PC version of Last Crusade and the last few releases (Emperor's Tomb, Infernal Machine).Hmm, I haven't played Infernal Machine, though the demo was definitely not fun. Emperor's Tomb was a good game, though. The only thing I could see AVGN ripping into is the absurd plot: "Remember when Indiana Jones fights a giant Chinese dragon in the Netherworld?"

John Crichton 4 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Or rather rather,http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35049.html?type=flv I've played the NES Star Trek several times. I actually just did again a couple of months ago on my NES emulator, and when I was done I kept thinking: "This would be perfect AVGN material".

John Crichton 4 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I hate to say it but I think that was one of his weakest efforts. It's almost like he was trying too hard to be in the Star Trek character mode. The Klingon fight was OK, but nowhere near the epic battles of episodes past. The only part I really enjoyed was when he layed out the whole item puzzle sequence at the end of NES Star Trek, and topped it off in perfect AVGN style."You remember that scene in The Motion Picture when the Enterprise fights swarms of Klingon and Romulan ships?"

Red 75 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I didn't think it was all that special either, especially coming off of the great Indiana Jones episode. But still, it was a good effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it's satire on his selling his soul to all the annoying people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Well - compare that ending to the moment in the Halloween review where the Nerd almost reviews E.T. He acknowledges his fan base but he isn't explicit about it. Even in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre review his Nerd fan character (the crazy hippy) is part of the plot of the video. In other words, I prefer when he keeps things theatrical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 He had a great laugh, but that seemed to be all he was interested in doing and it did grate after a while. Sometimes it's hard to tell on these, especially a performance like that, how much is scripted and how much is improv.Great intro.The next Nerd video is one where he's accepting submissions from fans on what to say about the game: Deadly Towers for NES.

Henry B 50 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 I made a submission. I thought it was good!The Joker? Eh... Yeah, the laugh was kind of annoying. But I like Matei as an actor.

John Crichton 4 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I made a submission. I thought it was good!The game or your submission? I grabbed the rom for it too and gave it a whirl on my NES emulator. The long intro was unusual for the time, but it actually wasn't bad. It played decent, but it seemed pretty hard, which I think is the big knock against it. Like Silver Surfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 You need to watch ones like Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, TMNT, and Silver Surfer. Classics. The Superman 64 video was probably the best recent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 For a collection of strung together one-liners that was pretty good.

Henry B 50 Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Yeah, I think that proves that the Nerd is a better writer than his fans are... I mean, the first half was alright, but by the end he went way overboard. And as a review it was simple: just gameplay footage and a voiceover.
