ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD REVIEW

NOW when it comes to using bad games I say nobody does a better job then Angry Video Game Nerd or AVGN for short.


I could be talking about the Guy all day If I could. Where should I start... Oh ya how I found out about the guy. Well it started 6 years ago when the nerd was starting to really peak into popularity.

File:James D. Rolfe.jpg Now I found out about him when I was looking up a video on Youtube called File:Friday the 13th NES.png and I decided to give it try and watch his video and loved it. I started going through other videos he made, And the my favorite ones are not about video games, but the movies he reviews. my personal favorite movie reivew that he did was Transformers 1986File:Transformers-movieposter-west.jpg Which I'll talk about another time.


\I always love watching is the Cinemasscure Monster Madness which he reviews horror movies each day October he loves everyone of them no matter how bad the movie's are.

For those of you who are wondering, no I'm not gonna do a review about The Nostalgia Critic because I never bothered to watch enought videos to do it and besides that guy bores me.


Another thing I love to see on the screen are his cats mainly Boo the male black cat who was giving the Nick Name Death Kitty on  Atari Jaguar Part 2.File:Jaguar Logo.png His knowlege of all these cultures of games and movies that I never even heard of just gave a new view on this stuff and brought me into loving much more video games then ever.  


NOW HE HAS ONE BIG NES COLLECTION HAVING ALMOST ALL OF THEM HE EVEN HAS THE RARE GOLDEN NES CARTRAIGE. ALTHOUGHT THERE ARE MANY GAMES  HE STILL DOSNE'T OWN AND JAMES ROLFE THE AVGN REAL NAME DOES ACCEPT DONATIONS OF VIDEO GAMES AND DON'T WORRY IF YOU FEAR ABOUT GIVING HIM A GAME HE ALREADY HAS HE HAS A PAGE ON HIS WEBSITE THAT SHOWS A LIST OF GAMES WHICH  HE HAS AND DOSEN'T HAVE.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990 (film) and other stuff

Now if your wondering, NO I didn't watch this movie when it came out because I wasn't born yet.

File:TMNTMoviePoster.jpg Now before I even watched the movie I didn't even know it existed until I was like maybe Five, and often I perferd other cartoons like Double dragon, street sharks and Extreme Dinosaurs at the time.  I almost never watched the orignal TMNT, the only time I even watched cartoon where on VHS tapes but there weren't that many so I knew very little about TMNT other then the fact they were Turtles living New York.  WHen I first heard about the movie I thought it was for kids, but when I saw it I was Surpised that it was not as kid friendly as I thought.


When I was 16 I looked up the movie online and Found out that it was based on the Orginal comic books of TMNT.

It would be years later before I would meet the worlds largest TMNT collector and a very good friend. Michele Ivey who I heard about on YouTube and later meet her on online and we became friends she even showed me some of the movie props, besides that she's good friend who showed me her family and I've gotten into some insteating facts about the turtle from her.


File:Kevin Eastman.jpgThis is Kevin Eastman. I meet him at a Convention few years back and asked this Qustion. How do you feel about the movie since is was mor faithful to the comics then the cartoon. He said he was very happy that they choose to do that.

Disclosure Book

MichaelCrighton Disclosure.jpg This is the book I say has brought new views on Sexual harassment, according to Michael Crichton before the book was made he heard about a case of a man and a woman in accusing each other of harassment and the company is having trouble deciding what to do, like should they fire one, or both or drop it.

But compaired to the book it was nowhere near anything big it was more like a small private case, but Michael thought he could make a better story about situations like that when the problem like that happen.

Released in 1994 it was popluar and well recived by critcs. Although if your wondering what the women thought, yes they were angry mostly just the activist who thought it was against women since this harassment is like in reversed meaning instead of a man sexual harassening a woman it's the woman whos doing the Sexual harrassment to the man.

Note I have nothing against women, but the truth is case's like that do happen and the reason people don't hear this stuff much at all is due to several facts, like pride, embrassment, fear of losing job, and other things. But I personal see this book has changed the view's of sexual harassment. So remeber woman Do it too.

The book has since been made into a movie also in 1994 since the rights were bought before the book was published.

L.A. Noire

File:LA-Noire-Box-Art.jpg Now of all the games that I have been dying to try other then RESIDENT EVIL 6 Is L.A Nore.

One thing I love about this game is that even when your not doing a mission you have complete freedom of where you can go thats not reistced like in Spiderman 2 but you drive around and stuff almost like Grand theft auto but you are the good guy instead of a crimal.

Not willing to give all away but I'll tell what you actully have to do, In this game like Fahrenheit  You have to ask quistion that deteremed your choices on what you have to do and what you get in return, but unlike Fahrenheit your choices which have to be all the correct answers that's what gives you better benifets.

Now the face's and movements are very realistic and this is done by accroding to the internet a MotionScan behaviors expressons are very real and how they move prove to be the best I've seen, although the only problems I have so far is the Driving which if you kill people or do damage you lower your rank and the other problem I have is that all those women face's look alike. I know there are different face's of some women, but many look the same.


Here's and instresting Title change which was done for to give the game better sales or somthing like that.

Night of the living dead and Resident evil game 1

When it comes to zombies we think about the Night of the living Dead by George A. Romero, Monster that does not ever need to look the same at all compaired to Dracula or other classics.


Although Zombie movies have been made before, they were differen't kind of zombie for one thing they don't have rotton flesh and have almost nothing compaired to Romero Zombies.
 The funny Thing about Night of the Living dead, they were never even called zombies in the movie, often called flesh eaters, or simply killers. One instresting fact is that a major film studio had wanted to buy the film, but on the condtion they change the ending to add a love scene instead, I'm so glad that George said no, but at the time movies without happy ending were almost none existent even at the time when it was released in 1968 and another thing was kids were allowed in because there was no Rated R at the time and I don't know why they let kids in, but what I read and heard about what happened was that everyone who saw in 68 was shocked and horrifide to see that stuff on the big screen and worst of all kids were crying at least thats what I read. So Rumor has it that after Night of the living dead and Bonnie and Clyde thats how the R rating came into the world, but often many people in the movie industry at that time have said it's not the case.

Painted theatrical release that includes various credits, an ominous zombie looking over the horizon, and the words "Dawn of the Dead" in military print below.

After that he made his next Film called DAWN OF THE DEAD. Little did they know those films would inspire many famous zombie games. Like Dead Rising for Dawn of the dead, and RESIDENT Evil for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

I've have also Got somthing to say about the First two game Of Resident evil.Resident Evil logo.png While very Popluar name it's not the real name it's actully Biohazard. 

 Now when Shinji Mikami started working one the game he has said that other then the George Romero's Films he also did it in repsonse to Zombi 2 an itlian film from his disapointment.

Also horror movies inovled with mansion's may have also helped with idea's for the background.


File:Resident Evil 1 cover.png Although I never actully got to compelet the game I did enjoy it alot for that the puzzles which are hard at first, but easily figure out fast and when you fight the zombies you gotta be careful how close you are like if you fire all your rounds and you let your charactor reload herself on the screen then the chance's of getting attack will incress.

Despite the bad accents and voice actors the game became a hit and would Spawn the series we now know Today and it's still going with RESIDENT EVIL 6 the lastest.

Michael Crichton author and JURASSIC PARK novel

Now for many fans who wonder who actully created Jurassic Park many people would say Steven Spielberg File:Steven Spielberg Masterclass Cinémathèque Française 2 cropped.jpg While yes in a way it seemed like he did make JURASSIC PARK, but that was only the movie he made back in the early 90's which was then released in 1993 which helped make dinosaurs more Popluar and creating a mark for the series, but the real creature is actully Michael Crichton who sold the rights before it was even published, which was done by a bid and Universal won the bid and because Steven was good friends with Michael and the fact that he loved the story so Much that is what you could say how it really happened, but the story was too long and so only 10 to 20 percent of book is in the movie.




Now about the Novel it felt like everything in book was well detailed with the story mainly the parts about strange animal attacks in the early parts of the story. Now the animals in the book were intresting as it had to do more on the bases of animals rather then just monsters that wanna eat people.

The book brought people new ideas about science and DNA and Cloning in those days and while everything has bascily been disproven by todays science like T.rex can't see if you don't move that theory that's been used often in the book and movie has since been discredit because it turns out if it did such a thing it would has a less chance of survial.Jurassicpark.jpg 



Here is a note accroding to aurthor himself and how the book came to be.

Note From Michael
I wrote a screenplay about cloning a pterodactyl from fossil DNA in 1983, but the story wasn't convincing. I worked on it for several years since, trying to make it more credible. Finally I decided on a theme park setting, and wrote a novel from the point of view of a young boy who was present when the dinosaurs escaped. I then sent the book to the usual people who read my first drafts.

Over the years, I've come to rely on five or six people who read my drafts; generally they have a range of responses. Not this time. They were all in agreement: they hated Jurassic Park.

I got angry reactions such as, "Why would you write a book like this?" But when I asked them to explain exactly why they hated it, they couldn't put their finger on anything in particular. They just hated it, that's all. Hated every bit of it.

I wrote another draft. They hated that one, too. Just as strongly as the one before. Whatever I had done in the latest draft, it hadn't helped.

I wrote another draft, but the result remained the same.

Finally one of the readers said that they were irritated with the story because they wanted it to be from an adult point of view, not a kid point of view. They said, "I want this to be a story for me." Meaning for an adult.

So I rewrote it as an adult story.

And then everybody liked it.


 

Michael Crichton is author who's words changed the world in movies, laws and lives of people and here's an instesting fact, Crichton has became the only creative artist ever to have works simultaneously charting at No. 1 in television, film, and book sales which goes to show you from a man who was orignally going to be a doctor he sure has come a long way even after his death in 2008 from throat cancer.
