The Angry Video Game Nerd/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

* The end of his Wii Salute, as well as the end of The Nerd Christmas Carol. The latter got [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by his declaration of only reviewing good games lasting for about four seconds before he counterdeclared "Fuck that, let's do some shitty ones!", complete with holding up a Virtual Boy.

** And before that, when the Nerd is taken back to the past, there is actual late 1980s-early 1990s home video footage of him and his sister playing video games (with his father taking out the trash [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|in his underwear]]); his playing ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and losing, with his "This isn't fair!"; and his family gathering together for gift-unwrapping, when he got a Super Nintendo console and [[Squee|squealed]] in glee, "My first 16-bit machine!" Awww!

* The "Contra Memories" review, where James speaks independently of his "Nerd" character and tells the story of his first time he beat ''[[Contra]]''. He talks about how the ending of any game was a lot more special back then due to [[Nintendo Hard|games in general being harder]], not being able to look up the ending on the internet, and [[Nothing Is Scarier|not even knowing what the game's villain and/or last boss]] ''[[Nothing Is Scarier|is]]'' [[Nothing Is Scarier|exactly]]. He actually finished the game in the morning before school one day, with his parents watching, and he apparently still tells people [[Badass Boast|"I beat Contra before breakfast!"]] Seeing James do a nice, positive review praising a game and seeing him fondly look back on his childhood like this is not exactly funny like the other reviews, but definitely adorable and "aww"-inducing.
