    “I just want to make perfectly clear that THIS is the “May” video and the next one will be June”

    I think I’m about to cry…
    By the way, AWESOME EPISODE. Can’t wait for June.

    Good Episode, though it got a bit tired after 12-15 min.

    I just wonder, did James already buy a HD camera?
    I know that the Bible Games 2 Episode was supposed to be shot in HD, but HD means for me either 720p or 1080p..

    Hi Trainer Red,
    I’ve borrowed some HD cameras in the past, but don’t own one yet. I plan to buy one before my next big “film” since the technology progresses so fast. For the Nerd videos I never felt it was necessary, because the games are in 4:3 anyway. So I’m using my old beat up DVX100 from the year 2003, but it still gets the job done well.

    Thanks for this vid James, was checking this site non-stop hoping for an early ‘May’ ep and it seems that God himself aligned the planets in my favour lol. Speaking about God, that Bible ep you shot in HD was quite good, the difference was clear even on a normal DVD though I would agree that the step forward wasn’t big enough to make it worth being your standard cam.

    very funny, “this game is shitting me”, lol, , it just goes to show what Nintendo did do to prolong the NES before they moved over to next thing, very excellent work james

    Sweet a new AVGN video!!! Thank you James. I hope that you enjoyed your time away from the series, and were able to work on some other things that you enjoy.

    Your show is one of the few things that I honestly look forward to on the internet. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these shows! I get a lot of enjoyment out of watching them.

    Cool video as usual. Just a question, how many times did you start Ooze by mistake since it goes back to it deafault?

  10. This was very funny I laughed my ass off but I guess we’ll find out what the last game will be next time unless you wanted to seem like your video crashed like half of the games.

  11. Gabel says:

    First, love the video. Great fun! Not a bad idea for you to slow down I think, this episode was really one of the best.

    Anyway, kind of off-topic, but a tips if you want a new camera is to get a DSLR. I am a filmmaker and use a Canon 7D. It’s great and has a very nice filmlike look. Plus you can change out the lenses on it, so you don’t need a 35mm adapter.

    God, I hate cliffhangers ;)

    If You want to know what’s the last game, just look on wikipedia:

    I still must suck very hard, if you are making a video on this single one ;)

    Awesome! Action 52!

    I was expecting to see The Nerd completely lose it after a third of the games. I guess we’ll know next time!

    I guess we’re going to see Cheetahmen in June, eh?

    I feel sorry for the poor souls that bought this collection
    somewhere and hoped for, at least, a few good games :-(

  15. Baba Booey says:

    Ohhhhhhh man……..I cant believe this. Action 52, I had that game way back in the day, me and my cousins played the shit out of that game. Man what a special episode, thank you soooo much james great job!!!!

  16. Alex Hawk says:

    Nice video, James! Video was funny and Kudos for adding this video on my birthday.

    Just curious, though. Have you played “A Bugs Life” on Gameboy Color? It’s terrible. The control is stiff. Your sprint button is the same as your weapon button. And the moves are just awful.

    Nice to see a new vid. Keep ‘em coming and God bless!

  17. Haserhud says:

    alex1288, Nintendo had nothing to do with this piece of shit. It was unlicensed 3rd party garbage.

  18. Mikeru says:

    Thats a really really good video

  19. Asros says:

    Awesome video. Laughed out loud like always.

    The last game is…. well better than the others, but it still sucks. If you compare it to all those space shooters, it’s freaking awesome. But if you think it’s a game, you are going to hell and you deserve your fate.

  20. You Can Just Walk Over It says:

    Aside from the long run time (27 mins) I found the jokes to be refreshingly original. The TV censoring, Pink Panther word play, even Shit Pickle’s brief cameo was fun to watch and didn’t seem like a needless reuse of an old Nerd staple.

    From reading many other comments online, it seems that the last game was something crazy on its own level, and it had a sequel, so I can’t wait to see what will inevitably come next.

  21. It’s true it’s fucking true it crashed the last game crashed!

  22. klantsmurfen says:

    It’s annoying that the 52th game wasn’t in the video. Now we have to wait a month to know if the last game sucked or if it’s worth $199. And because nobody have said it yet it’s awesome that your back James!

  23. wildgoosespeeder says:

    What a way to come back to doing AVGN episodes! Action 52! I think I feel the same way after AVGN did four Castlevania episodes then did Little Red Hood.

  24. KingDavid73 says:

    Great video, it was hilarious. Nice teaser for Cheetahmen. I can’t wait until the next episode. I hope you had a great vacation, and I’m glad you’re back. What about Action 52 for the Genesis though? At least that game doesn’t go for hundreds of dollars (I found one on ebay buy it now price for like $30).
