Angry Nerd makes a good joke...and everyone is too stupid to get it.

So the Nerd actually made a good joke in his last video.

After he reviews Rambo for the NES he reviews the lightgun game for the SMS.

For a joke he tries to play it on a flat LED screen. It doesn't work and it's plain he is making a joke because he shows a wide angle shot of the TV to show that it is a new flat panel TV.

Lightguns don't work on the new screens. At least none of the NES, SNES, SMS, Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast guns don't.

He has an old TV that he usually plays 8-bit games on so it's obvious that it's a joke. Why else have the extended shot the the TV to show it's a newer TV? He is making fun of people that don't know that old lightgun games won't work on newer TVs.

Evidently people on the Internet are so stupid that they didn't get the joke at all.

I read serveral comments on a Kotaku article about SMS games on the Wii that said the SMS sucked and the lightgun doesn't work. One directly referenced the Nerd's video.

So...I dunno. There are obviously ALOT of "gamers" out there that don't know that much about videogames or AV tech.

If these people don't know about lightguns and older video games, why the hell would they watch an entertainment video and then start spouting off and talking trash about Sega.

I don't know if I want to be pissed off at these people or just feel sad for them.

Why do they watch videos on Retro gaming when they can't get the jokes? Why do they diss a system if have never played it?

You are not going to learn anything much about Retro gaming from the Nerd videos. They are for entertainment. Not education.

If you just jump on the bandwagon and make snarky little comments based on shit that you see on the Internet, well, it's just plain lame.

Lamers.

Hammer Films are sweet.

The Angry Video Game Nerd has pissed me off in the past with his poor treatment of Sega products, but his respect of the Saturn and Dreamcast has warmed my heart to him.

Now he is doing a pretty kick ass collection of videos on the horror film genre. It's good. MUCH better than his "Angry Video Game Nerd" stuff. Hopefully James and Cinemassacre will keep on doing cool projects like this...



Mad respect to the Hammer films. Dracula was such a badass in those films. Not like the shitty ass emo self loathing pussies in most of todays vampire genre films.

This was the vampire before Anne Rice turned them all homosexual.

Screwattack sorta pissing me off.

Screwattack should no longer bill itself as a gaming site. It really is more of entertainment site.

It's a site that has entertaining videos that mostly have to do with video games.

However, lately some of the material being provided by the website has been sub-par when it comes to true gaming.

Take for example Gamejew's latest set of videos.

He said that since Shining Force for the VC is a RPG he cannot play it and the game is not worth the 5 dollars it costs to download it. First off Shining Force is a hybrid of turned based Strategy with RPG elements. To call a game like that a simple RPG is like calling Chess a RPG.

Second, Ebay is selling orginal carts for about $30.

So how does that reflect on Screwattack? They have a video saying that $5 is too much to spend on a game that people are still spending $30 for? WTF?

This comes after the Angry Nintendo nerd was bagging on the Sega CD and 32X and complaining about adventure games. The two games he complained about weren't bad games because of their flaws. They were bad games because he didn't like the genre. Since he personally doesn't like adventure games those games suck. Basically that complete bullshit.

They are obvouly trying to play up the younger/stupider crowd who cannot appreciate older games and must have their button mashing fast paced gameplay.

Do we really want to return back to a time before FF7 finally opened up the mainstream to RPGs? If the

Plus there is also an ANTI-SEGA vibe to this whole scene.

Angry video game nerd should change his name back to the Angry Nintendo Nerd. When he was making fun of 8 Bit NES games he never said the actual system sucked just because some of the games sucked. However he did say that the Sega-CD and 32X sucked because he only had some bad games. And that Goddam Sega VS Nintendo video shit? WTF? He said the Dreamcast was "kina fun" ... he is no gamer.

And well...just look at Gamejew and you know where his loyalities lie.
