As per my long standing tradition of being late to the party, I’m only now catching up on the Angry Video Game Nerd episodes, and it’s brought me to the horror of actually navigating GameTrailers dot-com. Up to this point, I’d really only ever gone to GameTrailers to watch sporadic- wait for it- trailers that people link me in IM’s or IRC or whatever. But upon finding out that only so many episodes had YouTube mirrors, I ended up following one of the ‘trailer’ links on YouTube to see the feature, and then the joy began. I filled out the age verification before the video played- because hearing the word ‘fuck’ causes anyone younger than 18 years old- even by a few minutes- to spontaneously combust. (As an aside, be careful not to indulge your porn and cigarette buying urges on your 18th birthday without consulting your birth certificate for the actual time of day you were born!) I watched the video. No problems there. In fact, I dare say I enjoyed that. However, immediately after the video ended, rather than a ‘PLAY AGAIN’ button or list of links popping up, it immediately loaded up a review of Jungle Strike, Screw Attack’s latest offering (as of this writing, durr.) I then searched around for any other links that would take me to the AVGN archives. After way too much prodding, I found out the AVGN videos were organized on the Screw Attack index, under a tab- a Flash tab. Meaning, simply hitting the back button in my browser would take me to Screw Attack rather than directly to the menu I had just used. I played a video from said menu, anyway, and at the end (having chosen my selection from a categorized list), I expected the next AVGN to come up. Instead
(SA guitar riff)
“Jungle Stri-”
I guess it’s only appropriate those videos be hosted on a site whose interface would be described, if you will, as a SHITLOAD OF FUCK! ASS!! NASAL DIARRHEA!!
I’m kinda getting the impression the Nerd himself’s a coprophile while I’m on this. He always says that he’d rather do something shit-related than play (Game X) with a regularity that makes you wonder if that’s like, his thing. More power to ya?
