James Rolfe: The Angry Video Game Nerd

Quotes 

• The Angry Video Game Nerd : There's actually a 9-player mode, which I honestly find hard to believe. Could you imagine passing the Virtual Boy around the room to 8 other people? I'd rather drink Kevin Costner's recycled piss water.

• The Angry Video Game Nerd : WaterWorld is the only movie-based game on Virtual Boy, and doesn't that seem like a match made in heaven? It's a perfect analogy. An over-budget, over-hyped movie turned into a game on a gimmicky, over-priced anal atom bomb of a console exploding with diarrhea!

• The Angry Video Game Nerd : Well, as far as the graphics go, too bad they couldn't use the color blue. I mean, they had two choices for the water. It could have been red or black. Well, at least they chose black because if it was red, we would be calling it BloodWorld. Either way, it looks like shit.

  Deacon : It does look like shit.

• The Angry Video Game Nerd : Well, that's it. The Virtual Boy was such a flop, it died in less than a year. Yeah, and I didn't pick these games, this is all of them. I just reviewed every Virtual Boy game to be released in North America. That's right. I am holding the entire library of games for this piece of shit in my one hand. With the exception of Jack Bros., which is rare, expensive, and probably not worth jack shit.

• The Angry Video Game Nerd : The first problem was it was marketed as a portable system. Yeah, portable. My ass is portable! You could barely find a comfortable way to play this big, red, ugly piece of shit at home, let alone bring it somewhere. Like, you couldn't play it in a car or something like that. And, come to think of it, you wouldn't want to play this thing in public anyway. You'd look like an asshole!

• The Angry Video Game Nerd : Why isn't there a head strap? Let's think about this. This must be one of the worst designs for any invention in history. It's basically a pair of goggles on a stand. To me, that translates to a pair of eyeballs on legs.

• The Angry Video Game Nerd : The 3D effects are hard to focus and they strain your eyes. There was even a warning on the box that said it could cause headaches and seizures. That's great, right? That's like the cherry on a shit sundae. How would you like to play bad games and have a headache too?
