''[[Pat the NES Punk]]'' is a [[Web Video]] series hosted at [https://web.archive.org/web/20180506102621/http://thepunkeffect.com/ The Punk Effect] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20101220174631/http://retrowaretv.com/PatTheNESPunk/tabid/451/Default.aspx RetroWare TV], as well as [http://youtube.com/user/PatTheNESPunk YouTube]. The series involves Pat, a [[Totally Rad]] dude from New Jersey that collects, plays, and reviews [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] games. The series is unique in its own right, as it [[Averted Trope|averts]] the [[Caustic Critic]] archetype started by [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]], while taking some inspiration and giving the occasional [[Shout-Out]].
 
Characters in the series involve Pat, of course, R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy. [[Super Smash Bros.|Yes... that R.O.B.)]], Donkey Kong and Junior, Allison, Pat's girlfriend for one story arc, Ian, a [[Jerkass]] video game store owner, Frank, a confused old dude, and others. Games that Pat has reviewed include:
 
* Baseball Stars
Line 10:
* Ultimate Stuntman
* NARC
* Power Pad games
* [[Action 52]]
* [[Rush N Attack]]
Line 18:
* Panic Restaurant
* [[Super Dodge Ball]]
* A [[Turbo Grafx TurboGrafx-16]] tribute
* Nintendo World Championships 1990, both the championships and the game.
* Caltron 6 in 1
* Games included in the M82
* A bunch of Casino games in the "Casino Calamity" review
 
 
Pat has also done completely different videos of him running around local flea markets picking up stuff entitled [[Something Completely Different|Flea Market Madness]], as well as looks at his [[Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?|expansive collection]], coverage at CES 2010, Comic Con, and Magfest 9, and also a video of him... taking a trip to the Jersey Shore? Also, some stuff concerning a Mad Mario Ball...

Somewhat regularly posts on [http://nintendoage.com NintendoAge, a forum dedicated to collecting NES related items]. Also did a video with [[The Spoony One]] where the two take down ''[[Highlander Endgame]]'', and appeared on an episode of [[Spike TV]]'s [[1000 Ways to Die]].
