''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyStQN3C7Dg&feature=channel_page Brent Smalley's Videogame World]'' is an [[Web Original|online series]] featuring a nerd with a unique voice and an over-enthusiastic personality that reviews [[Video Games]]. However, to distinguish it from [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]] and the many other angry nerd clone videos out there, ''Brent Smalley's Videogame World'' features a reviewer who is the exact opposite of the AVGN: he enjoys seemingly every game he plays despite how terrible they are ([[Character Derailment|or at least he did at first]]), starting off with a glowing review of none other than [[The Problem With Licensed Games|''E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial'' for the Atari 2600]] in the debut episode. |

After his ridiculously positive review of E.T., Brent reviewed a series of basketball games |
After his ridiculously positive review of ''E.T.'', Brent reviewed a series of basketball games in a much more subdued manner (as the games were much better, at least in comparison to ''E.T.'') |

After this point, Brent Smalley suffered a major [[Character Derailment]], which, while managing to still be as hilarious as before, changed him into more of an Angry Video Game Nerd clone such as those he originally was the antithesis of, during his review of the (previously AVGN-reviewed) [[Back to The Future]] game for the NES. He retained the strange mannerisms and showboating style that made the character unique, but, like the AVGN, openly lambasted the game as being one of the worst of all time (later refusing to play parts II and III on the same grounds). This is somewhat odd as, in the opinions of most gamers, ''E.T.'' is the worst game of all time; ''[[Back to The Future]]'' isn't especially held in high esteem either, but it is nonetheless unusual to find someone who considers ''E.T.'' so appealing while hating ?Back to the Future? so much. This video also [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|broke the Fourth Wall]] for the first time, showing Brent before the review starts, and the camera normally used to record the reviews is actually shown '''on-camera''' being switched on before the review starts, giving this episode a particularly cinematic look. |

* [[Arson, Murder, and Admiration]]: Brent dictates an insulting, curse-filled, extremely vulgar email to Trent Biggie, but makes sure to begin it with "Dear Trent" and end it with "Sincerely, Brent," Cause you always wanna be nice. Trent's reply, in which he angrily accepts the challenge offered by Brent, goes so far as to sign it "Love, Trent." |
