3. Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures
Filmmaker James Rolfe's Angry Video Game Nerd character is easily one of the most influential contributions to online gamer culture. The Nerd's foul-mouthed reviews of retro games inspired a legion of other video personalities to follow suit, but though there are many imitators, there is only one Nerd. I mean, how many YouTube stars get not only a full-length motion picture based on their exploits but also a videogame adaptation?
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures released last year Steam, but developer FreakZone Games and publisher ScrewAttack have promised that Wii U and 3DS ports will arrive before the end of 2014. It's only fitting that the game appears on Nintendo machines, considering how the character was once known as the "Angry Nintendo Nerd."
As for Adventures itself, the Nerd is sucked into the TV and trapped in a sh*tty game of his own. Each level is loaded with tons of AVGN references that will make long-time fans chuckle, though newcomers will be able to enjoy the game's solid platforming mechanics. But this is a Nerd game after all, so expect to rage with extreme regularity.
