The titular Nerd character is an ill-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from excessive and inventive use of profanity, frequent displays of explicit gestures, and heavy consumption of beer, particularly Rolling Rock or Yuengling, to "soothe the pain". A particular characteristic is his favorable comparison of extremely repulsive and painful, usually firmly scatological, acts to playing the games he reviews. Varying amounts of physical comedy are mixed into the verbal abuse.

#3 - Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing
Season 8 - Episode 1 - Aired 3/19/2014
Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing (often referred to as just Big Rigs) is a 2003 third-person racing video game developed by Stellar Stone and published by GameMill Publishing for the PC. The box for Big Rigs states that the main objective of the game is to race a semi-trailer truck "Big Rig" to safety in order to deliver illegal cargo being carried by the truck, while avoiding the police. In actuality, there are no police in the game, no such objectives are presented within the game itself and there is no load attached to the truck! Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing received extremely negative reviews when it came out. Reasons being - lack of collision detection, frequent bugs, poor visuals, and severe lack of functionality. As a result, the game is now widely regarded as one of the worst video games of all time

#6 - E.T. [Atari 2600]
Season 8 - Episode 3 - Aired 10/10/2014
This review is from the feature-length film "Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie" now adapted into "episode" format. You can view this as a plot spoiler, but I'm sure everyone already knows the movie ends with an E.T. review. The movie is more about the story behind the game, the Atari landfill, but with a science fiction twist. To understand all the context and imagination behind it, see the movie. Or enjoy it here as a standard "Nerd" episode.
#7 - Desert Bus
Season 8 - Episode 2 - Aired 5/28/2014
It's the 10 year anniversary since the first episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd! In this episode the Nerd takes a look at Desert Bus and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest Redaction! Desert Bus was a mini game that was included on Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors (and unreleased game planned for the Sega CD). It was developed by Imagineering and published by Absolute Entertainment. Absolute went out of business so the game was never released but the Nerd was able to obtain a copy to torture himself with! In Desert Bus, you drive a bus from Arizona to Las Vegas in real time. It's considered one of the worst games ever made, making it ripe for a review by the Nerd! Then the Nerd takes a look at Castlevania II: Simon's Quest Redacted - a hack that improves upon the flaws in the original NES game.
