eh. he doesn't really sound like that IRL
I guess it's the video itself

4/21/2008 12:23:50 PM

is your friend gay?

4/21/2008 12:31:17 PM

Is he trying to parody this guy or just do a cheap imitation of him? http://www.screwattack.com/AngryNerdMain.html

I couldn't tell because it wasn't funny either way.

4/21/2008 12:31:40 PM

i was hopin it was a black friend and his nickname was Angry Videogame Nigga

id do it but i don't own a video camera and keep my nerd shit on the lo lo

After watching:

He needs to work on his mic voice, he sounds like a gay Telly off Kids And there wasn't really any humor

Maybe i've been spoiled by Zero Punctuation and AVGN

To the OP, the video was interesting and the intro scenes were done very well, but I'm still not sure about his voice. I can see how people are wondering if he is gay or not. For a first video its not too bad, I'd probably subscribe after seeing more of his work.

^ Fuck that guy, his videos are awful.

4/21/2008 1:55:26 PM

does he have a lisp?

4/21/2008 1:59:28 PM

no

unless he developed one since I last saw him

4/21/2008 2:00:35 PM

i have a residual lisp from when i was a kid and from time to time i fear that i sound like this to other people

This video just reminds me that Nick Swardson should review some video games.

- The little intro thing before it actually started the review was too long.
- Does anyone actually say "you only have one man" and "extra man" instead of "you only have one life" and "extra life"? The only time I've ever seen it referred to like that is in parody.
- He seems like he's trying a little bit too hard to sound angry
- I did laugh when he was like "yeah, fuck you mouse"

i've heard of lives left referred to as 'men' not in parody.


that said, i normally use the word life.

The whole thing felt a bit long. I might make the intro shorter than 45 secs. I liked the background information at the beginning and the props so it wasn’t all just him talking over a video game playing in the background. The sarcasm works alright for him. “Oh god this looks fantastic.” Probably the highlight of the video.

I would cut down on the number of times explicating repeating what he thinks of the game in general terms. If you say it sucks and it’s boring you really only need to do that once or twice, if you show content then people will be able to pick that up for themselves.

Cut down on the number of the times he says “I mean” and “like.” If you speaking to an audience performance matters at least as much as content. Mix up the background music a little more. He describes the game as boring, he shouldn’t subject us to so much of it bleeds into the review so much that it feels like its boring too. He could have counter pointed the bad cheeseburger graphics with what really throwing a cheeseburger at different objects looks like which would be a way to talk about the game without having to just watch more of the boring game being played. I’d work on content order too. Showing us “the most entertaining aspect of the game” being the kicking after we’ve already seen it many times.

The whole thing is a review, you don’t need to end the review with a mini review of what you’ve just said. I would have gone to silence/black screen after the committing suicide part, or atleast found some other way to end with a bang instead of a whimper.

All in all, I think I would watch another review if lessons learned from this one were used to make it more entertaining. Mostly though, even if a game is boring, while the review can highlight that fact the review itself shouldn’t be boring. It was kind of funny in some spots.
