Line 7:
Also, the genie is Mike Matei. Bugs Bunny, The Joker, Freddy Kreuger, and Mike Matei's other roles are manifestations of the genie designed to further antagonize the Nerd.
 
* What about the ''Halloween'' episode, where he left his house to babysit? Or the ''Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' episode, where he explicitly buys the game at an outdoor market?
** It is possible to be futile to let the games get destroyed on their own, so they'd stay new everyday until he dies.
* Alternatively he got on [[Twisted Metal|Calypso]]'s ''good'' side during his wish.
 
== [[The Irate Gamer|Chris Bores]] is the Nerd's evil clone. ==
Who else would steal his jokes and his money? It's all part of his plan to take over the world and send the [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|Nerd]] out of business. [[The Irate Gamer]] is evil and must be stopped!
* Jossed, Irate is just the sophisticated man's way of saying stupid. Therefore [[The Irate Gamer]] isn't evil, he's just the Nerd's stupid clone.
** The Irate Gamer is a Bizzaro clone. The Nerd is somehow capable of creating a [[Talking Poo]] clone of himself; perhaps the Irate Gamer was his attempt to make an actual copy.
Line 20:
* At the end of the Atari 5200 review, he orders a joystick from Ebay. The outside of his house is shown as a level from the game [[Paperboy]]. The [[Player Character]] of Paperboy himself delivers the joystick to the Nerd (and hits him in the face).
* An [[Canon|official episode]] of the AVGN (An Angry Nerd Christmas Carol) is a ''direct continuation'' of the non-canonical Captain S episode. This implies that the events of that episode [[Absolutely Happened]] in the AVGN continuity -- the Nerd ''was'' [[Incredibly Lame Pun|taken back to the past]], and he did meet Captain S and save Santa Claus.
* At the beginning of the fight with [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|the Nostalgia Critic]], the outside view of the AVGN's house is shown. It consists of a monochromatic sky with 2D animated images of birds and bugs that could be sprites in a 1990s video game.
* At the beginning of the [[Street Fighter]] [[In Name Only|2010]] episode, we see the outside of the Nerd's house. Again, it is formed of 2D shapes that could be video game sprites. The Nerd is surprised by the "futuristic" objects that appeared which he cannot identify, but not by the general flatness of the environment, which is evidently how the environment around his house normally looks.
* At the end of the Game Glitches episode, the Glitch Gremlin has no difficulty in making the Nerd's game room (and even the Nerd himself) glitch out, as if everything was part of a videogame.
Line 40:
* [[Squick|Barf.]]
** From the Ricky 1 review when he was complaining about the NC forcing him to review a nostalgia movie:
{{quote| ''AVGN'': It's like, you think I don't have enough videos to make? or I have nothing better to do?!...like...[[Too Much Information|playing with dog turds... or something...]]}}
[[Squick|I hope he just meant shitty games...]]
 
Line 47:
 
== The AVGN's [[Super Mario Brothers]]-style reviews will also be parodied by the [[Happy Video Game Nerd]]. ==
* When this troper first learned of the HVGN, he was a bit put off by the guy's redundancy where the AVGN was concerned - the AVGN HAS reviewed good games on a handful of occasions. Then, the idea came to him: would the HVGN not also parody the times where James reviewed actually good games as well? Only, the HVGN's version of such a review would be of him reviewing a shitty game, which he struggles to find enjoyable parts of, but fails.
 
== The AVGN and the HVGN will be doing a joint review sometime in the future. ==
* The AVGN's already done it with [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]], after all. I'm thinking that they review a highly divisive game, where there are just as many good aspects as there are bad. And no "so-so" features either - the good features are really, really good, the bad features are really, really bad.
** Or he could team up with [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]]
** ... Oblivion?
** Maybe they'll do a [[Love It or Hate It]] game.
*** Persona 4?
** We got something close when [[Board James]] plays Loopin' Louie with the HVGN. Since that means they know each other in real life, it could add to the chances of him and the Angry Nerd getting together.
 
== One day, The Nerd will make an exemption of the old-games only rule, and will review something recent. ==
* Like [[I Wanna Be the Guy]], where the Nerd will have the [[Heroic BSOD]] because almost every gameplay flaw that the Nerd complained in his past reviews ([[One -Hit Wonder]] and [[Fake Difficulty]] specifically) is what makes this game addicting.
** Became more likely recently, since [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] has reviewed [[Battlefield Earth]] ([[So Bad It's Horrible (Darth Wiki)/Video Games|Barf]]) recently, and since he's the AVGN's [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]], he will probably copy this.
** What do you call his ''[[Ghostbusters]]: The Game'' review, then?
** Technically James Rolfe reviewed the Ghostbusters game, not the Nerd - the Nerd being the character. If you notice it was a completely different review style (ie: no [[Cluster F-Bomb|Cluster F Bombs]]), hence the Nerd briefly showing up at the beginning of the review then leaving when he finds out the game isn't terrible.
Line 65:
* If so, then could he perhaps review a computer game for a change? I'm burning to see a AVGN review of a [[Touhou Project]] game.
** Oblivion. A game that goes out of its way to discourage accomplishment seems like something the Nerd would "like".
*** It seems a bit odd for him to review good games and complain about their [[Nintendo Hard]]. He should only do it selectively.
* He once said that would do [[Big Rigs Over the Road Racing]], but cant since he has a Mac.
 
== The Nerd and Board James are twin brothers. ==
Speaks for itself, really.
** Well, some of the Board James videos take place in the Nerd's room, and James had used similar powers as the Nerd. Maybe the Nerd is the [[Evil Twin|evil twin]] of Board James [[Sibling Yin-Yang|(or at least the angrier,]] [[Different As Night and Day|more pissed off at the world one).]]
 
== The Nerd and Board James are clones. ==
Line 88:
== The nerd will build a replica of the playground dragon for The Dragon in My Dreams ==
He doesn't want to forget about the one thing that inspired him to do great things, so he'll make a statue in memory of it.
** I think his way of honouring that dragon, and the inspiration it gave him, was making that movie.
 
== ET for the Atari 2600, will play a big role in [[The Movie]] ==
 
It's one of the worst games of all time, and one he has avoided time and time again, so naturally it has to be big deal when he reviews it. 5 bucks saves it will the [[Big Bad]] of the film.
* Confirmed. At the end of his Spielberg Game Reviews, he was confronted with the E.T. game, and it said "To be continued...in the AVGN Movie"
 
Line 110:
There hasn't been a single inkling of sexuality,even to things you think. He barely even commented about Jessica Rabbit's status as [[Ms. Fanservice]] beyond comedic effect. It seems he's either not attracted to anyone/thing, or just hasn't found something appealing.
* Jossed, at least with James himself. He's seen wearing an engagement ring in his DVD Collection video.
** Jossed for [[Board James]] because of this too, he wears the ring in every single episode.
*** Just because someone's asexual doesn't mean they're also aromantic. He could very well be asexual and still be getting married.
* Also Jossed in ''[[Plumbers Don't Wear Ties (Visual Novel)|Plumbers Don't Wear Ties]]''. At the very beginning with the girl, he seems pretty interested.
* He also looks eagerly at the door in his Atari Porn Games review, when he things a naked chick might show up. He's disapointed when she fails to appear, unlike the many game characters who ''have'' intruded on his reality.
* Maybe he's just supposed to be too obssesed with videogames to pay attention to anything else. In his cameo appearence in the [http://youtu.be/x6krCnZFXuM Piece of Meat video], at first the Nerd looks shocked and almost frightened about a girl so violently hitting on him, but he seems to enjoy it when she starts bitting him on the neck... until she '''actually''' [[I'm a Humanitarian|bite him on the neck]].
Line 124:
== [[Doug Walker]] will have a cameo in the Angry Video Game Nerd Movie. ==
Considering that he and [[James Rolfe]] are friends and James {{spoiler|had a cameo in [[Suburban Knights]]}}, it's not too much of a stretch to assume that Doug would repay the favor by making a short appearance.
** James was asked this in a convention and answered with a [[Ascended Fanon|Sure Why Not]], saying that he didn't write him in the story but maybe he could get a small cameo and that the door was open for Doug if he was interested. Let's hope he is.
** Well, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140715123452/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/specials/32564-avgn-movie-auditions it seems that Doug is helping with the casting for the movie in the Chicago area.] This makes me believe there are high chances of him having at least a cameo in the film.
 
== The Nerd is a [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Puer Magi]]. ==
His wish, as above, was to obtain every video game and console ever made and have the time to play all of them. His Incubator, sensing that he was irritable, granted it, knowing that playing all the bad games in the world would make him angry, thus producing grief and making the Nerd a good source of energy. His gear made up of NES add-ons that he uses when he has to get into an epic fight is actually his form as a Magical Boy - his [[Transformation Sequence]] always occurs off-screen - which is why the light guns are functional weapons. In between reviewing shitty games, he's fighting Witches. However, he turns out to be unexpectedly diligent (and has the advantage of being of legal drinking age) and refuses to give in to despair no matter how mad he gets, so his Soul Gem doesn't go dark until he finally gets senile enough to let it slip, and he was consumed with all the built-up stress and became a Warlock while playing ''Boogie'' on the Wii. He thought it was a heart attack because he wasn't familiar with how the system worked, being a loner who never was on a team with other Magical Boys or [[Magical Girl|Magical Girls]]. Motherfucker Mike might be a shapeshifting Witch or Warlock that takes on the forms of characters from the Nerd's games to torment him.
 
== The Nerd is the kid from [[The Wizard (film)]]. ==
Suggested in the end of the NC's review of [[The Wizard (film)]], when he draws glasses and a pocket on the picture of Jimmy. As he grew up, he realized really bad games were out there, but he's got a compulsion to play them anyway because he's a videogame wizard and vents his frustration through reviews.
* Not to mention that "Jimmy" is an informal form of "James", as in [[James Rolfe]]. While he has stated that he and the Nerd aren't supposed to be the same person, that doesn't mean that they can't necessarily both be named James - in the Nostalgia Critic's Nicktoons review, it's heavily implied that the Critic's real name is Doug, the same as his actor's.
* In the Winter Games episode, he does try to type the name "JAMES" in the name entry screen, but the game only allows him four letters. So, it's not too farfetched to think that he's supposed to be called James too.
** In the [[Spider -Man]] review, Spidey refers to him as James at one point.
* NERRRDDD!!!!!
 
Line 147:
 
== The AVGN Movie will have a giant ET fighting Super Mecha Death Christ. ==
[https://web.archive.org/web/20130920020042/http://cinemassacre.com/2011/09/28/avgn-movie-help-visual-effects-department/ This] seems to confirm that the movie will have miniature city sets wrecked, and involve puppetry and animatronics. Since the movie will be about ET on Atari 2600, the highlight of the movie will be ET grown into a superpowered [[Kaiju]] (possibly possessed by [[Satan]] or something) and Super Mecha Death Christ will fight him in a model city.
* Or, have a merger of Donkey Jesus Riding a Puff of Smoke merged with SMDC 2000BC. It'll be called Super-Mecha Death Donkey Christ. The SMDDC will be equipped with firery smoke coming out of its back, cannon barrels, banana-shaped swords, Power Glove fists and lasers. It can also create tidal waves(which it will ride on, since its a Mecha Jesus), generate a mecha-zombie Lazarus, and a cross-chainsaw spitting from its mouth. To combat, Satan will look like Bowser.
 
Line 153:
It explains why he can throw [[Street Fighter|Sonic Booms and Hadokens]], [[Superman|fly]], [[Batman Can Breathe in Space|breathe in space]], [[Summon Magic|summon Super Mecha Death Christ]], [[Frickin' Laser Beams|fire real lasers from light guns]] and [[Status Quo Is God|have his basement return to normal after each episode]]. The [[Power At a Price|downside]] is that characters from shitty games sometimes [[Defictionalization|defictionalize]] and harass him.
 
== The Nerd is a [[Darker Thanthan Black|Contractor]]. ==
See the [[Reality Warper]] entry above, with the added bonus of not being an [[Emotionless Girl|Emotionless Boy]] ([[Sarcasm Mode|You]] [[Unstoppable Rage|don't]] [[Caustic Critic|say]]!). Playing shitty games is his [[Power At a Price|remuneration]].
 
Line 164:
 
== The Power Glove is [[Lethal Joke Weapon|not nearly as useless as it seems]] ==
It one-shotted [[A Nightmare Onon Elm Street (Film)|Freddy Krueger]], and it allowed the Nerd to accomplish the otherwise impossible tasks of landing the plane in [[Top Gun]] and beating [[Enemy Without|Dark]] [[Final Boss|Link]] in [[Zelda II: theThe Adventure of Link (Video Game)|Zelda II]], despite its reputation for being [[So Bad It's Horrible (Darth Wiki)|a non-functional piece of garbage]]. Clearly, there's something greater about it in the Angry Video Game Nerd universe; perhaps it's a sentient item, a [[Chaotic Neutral]] being in the form of a peripheral for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], with power enough to win any game but instead considering it [[It Amused Me|funnier]] to be completely useless and frustrating and to see the Nerd's reactions to its failures, but from time to time shows its true power against an incredibly difficult game situation (perhaps seeing a [[Worthy Opponent]]). The incident with Freddy might have been [[All Just a Dream]], but equally likely is that the Power Glove had too much "fun" planned for the Nerd to let Freddy kill him, so it inserted itself into the dream to allow the Nerd's survival.
 
== The Angry Video Game Nerd was the first/one of the first victims of [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|the]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Entity.]] ==
The Angry Video Game Nerd has not only fought off a slew of Hollywood monsters, but is a master at video games(need I remind you of the Nintoaster?) Who else on Earth would be more of a threat to {{spoiler|a glitch from a video game?}}
