Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 189: Darkman. Darkman is a 1990 kinda-superhero, total-revenge movie by Sam Raimi. It bridged the gap between his work on Evil Dead and Spiderman. The game was created by Ocean for the NES in 1991. It sucks.

I wonder how the nerd came back from the death after his incident with the Shrek cult
Right?
Probably had to pray to Shrek every night and atone for his sins
Come on, everybody knows the Nerd can't die.
He has died countless times in the past and yet he always comes back.
Truly a legend.
Shrek is love Shrek is Life
hearted!
It was this episode that reminded me that he is not even just the Angry Video Game nerd anymore... he's the Angry Video Game Dad.
Remember that he played some of the Mario Maker levels made by his children (not as the nerd of course XD)
It was the Dad jokes, wasn't it
In his 40s
It's really a sign of how old i am now, jesus i was a fan back at season two!
@WAXO THE FOOL 'MAN' ifested!
When the world needed him most, he never left.
He's like my daaaahhdd

That's fair

@@franciscorocha9289 This doesn’t help.
It makes you wonder, is the Nerd aware of the fact that he keeps dying in several episodes but keeps coming back because he is forever stuck in the purgatory of playing awful games?

RIP guitar guy behind the couch
I don’t know what it is, but this really felt like a classic episode.
agreed I feel like he had more of a hand in this one
It did actually
Awesome isn’t it
Most definitely lol
I kept looking at the upload date.
14:10, the rare character break. LOL
James still makes the nerd episodes with the same love and passion he did all those years ago. Honestly the most consistent entertainer on CZcams for quality content.
I love the whole "There's no skit! THIS IS A NORMAL REVIEW!" part. That was amazing.
Made me laugh XD
I know making skits a fleshing out plot lines is fun, but sometimes skits can be a bit much to tolerate. I very much appreciate this joke.
Felt kinda bad for Dark RoboNerd Man though,he looked so upset
Somewhere, Doug Walker felt attacked.
@@lozangekitten-gamer7626 Then he totally ends the video in a skit lol
0:34 “I’m sorry, no more lame jokes.”
We all love the Nerd’s lame jokes.
He's becoming a dad. He's gotta come up with the dad jokes
Speak for yourself peewee herman
@@BigPixel0he's becoming a dad? Wow man ppl really don't know how to talk.
I genuinely lol'd when he said "So far, this game's not too ba..and now we're f*cked". The quick happy to angry transition. Classic AVGN.
this whole episode truly was like a ANN era video (Angry Nintendo Nerd)
This is what got me to watch Darkman. As soon as you said Raimi was involved I stopped watching this so that nothing would get spoiled and finished watching it after the movie. I'm glad I did, the cameo was fun!
Not much of a raimi fan are ya lol
@@aegisraven1284Was gonna say! Lol
You know James is a father when he starts off the review with a bunch of Dad Jokes
Lol dad jokes
I think he's been a dad for years now, not entirely sure how long though. Kid must be about 5 in order to understand how to operate a game machine fluently enough to make Mario Maker levels though, even if they need a bit of help.
The DARKEST AVGN episode, he is drinking natural light 🤢🤢🤢
At least it's not Steel Reserve 🤮🤮🤮
I hear some people call it shivambu
its the worse
Could be worse like old english or mickeys

@@robertwildschwein7207 I used to watch AVGN over and over again until I could speak the lines of almost every episodes by myself. Truly a great show but that might have been a real problem.
@@SnarkyRC nah nothing beats the nerd
James is proof that sunlight makes you age faster.
Just play games in your basement and you'll look 20 for 20 years.
"Have you ever touched a clown in real life?" I had to think about that for a second.
I'm fairly certain you're not supposed to touch a clown, much like you're not supposed to touch a pole dancer.
They feel...weird
Maybe it's the clothes..if those are their clothes and not their skin
Not hardly.

Should be the title of his autobiography tbh
@@baccy81 Winter Games is hilarious LOL. I whole-heartedly believe it, because it too is one of my favs aswell!

I hope this guy never dies. We need him to stay alive for generations to come.
the only way we can do that is to upload his consciousness into a computer and give him a virtual environment on an isolated hard drive filled with emulators and game roms/isos
He did talk about this in an episode. Where his nerd herd of nerdimators take over the world.
nerd lives forever!
Let's be honest, at the rate he's "ageing" he's practically immortal.
i know this weird to say but he really doesn't know how much he means to us.
I haven't watched a nerd video in a few months, but let me tell you, the sheer amount of cursing brought back to the nerd brought a huge smile to my face.
Me too
I feel like he's mellowed a bit over the years. JUST a little, though.
“Sometimes I win, sometimes I don’t. With no clear rhyme or reason” ...ahh story of my life James.

14:13 i love how james just breaks out the character and starts laughing, makes my day!

So AVGN lost his Rolling Rock money and is switching to Natty. Quarantine truly has hit us all.
I hope this is temporary and not permanent.
Theres both natural ice and natural light
@@randomteen678 It was probably just for the pun.
I read that as "Rick Rolling" money 😂
He did drink different types of beer
This feels like a classic AVGN ep I love it.
agreed :)

I love that this just screamed "OG Nerd."!!! Screaming at the skit to get tf out. The lack of crazy cuts... THIS. This is the nerd.
The Darkman movie is criminally underrated.
Is honestly a great flick
I watched it when i was like 10. I should revisit it
If the movie is criminally underrated, then the game is just criminal.
AVGN: *picks up Natural Light*

James really hititing the "Dad jokes" phase on Fatherhood
Lol definitely
I like it ngl
Glad he is taking to fatherhood well!
The opening made me laugh so hard
I think all men have that switch in them!🤣
I love how the Nerd is essentially telling himself to f off when Robo Darkman Nerd appeared.
Wow, 17 years...James has given us a lot of laughs in that time. And hopefully there are many more to come.
Imagine being so nerdy you get called a nerd by The Nerd.

Can someone explain to me how the AVGN has been on CZcams forever and yet his videos are just as great and addicting as his original videos? I just love this guy!
I didn’t know the original game nerd reviews were originally recorded on a vhs
Same, I only knew they weren't on YT originally.
Ikr I thought he was only on yt
"This is just a regular episode! There's no skits or anything!!" I laughed soooooo hard! I think we all grew up watching James as the nerd and that's just magical.
I just came here to say the same thing!!! Lol. As a whole this was one of his funniest episodes in awhile, and it made me immensely happy!
It’s feels great hearing that theme song again.

Classic
As I was watching this and listened to you say you were old, I turned tomy wife and told her I've been watching you since I was 17. Now I am 32. James thank you for being such a big part of my journey!
8:57 When your child gets out from the corner after misbehaving and you're just too angry
I grew up watching AVGN videos. When he is done with bad old games, he can move on and review new bad games. He can't run out of games. Which means, I will watch AVGN even when we both become grandpas.
By the time avgn had to review bad PS3 games it would be his children doing it
That actually sounds really nice.

AVGN Balan Wonderland episode in 2099?
@@tedjomuljono3052 Assuming youtube still even exists the way it does now that is.
This episode feels like a classic nerd episode. It's almost as if the "new" nerd was killed off in the Shrek episode and now we're back to classic episodes, complete with original theme song.
Haven't you watched his Bartman Meets The Radioactive Man episode? He was already coming back to form, that one has an even bigger "classic AVGN" feel than this
I completely agree. He sounds so energetic.
This episode has renewed my faith in the nerd. I haven't enjoyed an episode in a while. This did feel like a classic episode
@@edhc44 I liked this one better.
I imagine it's because he might of actually written this one. Heard he hasn't been writing episodes in a while
Dude, I think Sam Raimi would be a huge fan of your work in terms of practical effects
I know you use to fill the rolling rocks up with water in the old episodes but now your literally switching to water 😂
watching the angry nerd is like watching Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of cereal
I really miss those days!
agreed
Thats why I grabbed a bowl of apple jacks when i clicked the video
Same, I don't know the words to describe it but I think it has something to do with the pacing the episodes are released. When I see a new nerd video, I just have to grab a snack because it us just such a treat to watch these
One your parent's will not let you watch, but you did anyway in secret.
14:05 “My friend went up to the clown and hugged him. He died right on the spot.” This made me laugh *way* too much! 😂
I absolutely lost when he broke character to laugh.
@@Chowder_T he accidentally pulled a JonTron there.

19:45 thanks nerd . you shouldn't 😭♥
James is trying real hard to stay like the old nerd we know and love and it's still kind of working.
I like the new nerd too, he’s just a likable character
That sounds so passive-aggressive, sweetheart.
It's so weird that this guy has aged alongside me. James you are a pure soul and a CZcams OG
Love it. Evolving alongside our entertainment is pretty awesome.
Not sure I worded that right. The drinks have started so who knows lol.
Do you have sometime to hear about expressvpn?
@@popeyedoyle6360 yes sure id love to hear it
It's only hard to believe it's been so long because so little has changed. I think we all appreciate it that way!
Why do you guys act like James isn't a human being ? Being a famous CZcams celebrity does not exempt you from aging.
If CZcams ever gives out a lifetime achievement award...it goes to AVGN hands down. Always great content, never any controversy, he always entertains us and has consistently for 17 years. Everyone knows who he is. You can’t hate this dude!
Yes that is a fact that you cannot deny.

@@realDrunyrun I heard he just ignored that and it never became anything
@@realDrunyrun They tried to build a controversy, but it went nowhere.
so through chad energy he destroyed controversy by doing absolutely nothing
That intro made me realize that we’ve pretty much only seen James’s basement in AVGN (I think we see his house in Board James?)
It’s kinda hard to remember that the Nerd doesn’t just... live in a rental store with a couch and TV.
Wait, HE DOESN'T??
4:30 I think about weird time stuff like that all the time. For example World War Two was 40 years before the 1980’s and the 1980’s are now 40 years old.
Seeing James break character and laughing after telling his Clown story with a straight face might be one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen.
He started doing it quite a few times recently, seems like it's another running joke he does.
14:12
Completely out of character, though. Every AVGN these days feels more like a 'making of' or 'behind the scenes' than an actual episode.
@@c.d.ruppert9560 ya. in the past AVGN hardly acknowledged that he was on the internet,
In this episode he completely broke the fourth wall by saying “this is a normal review, no skits”
Completely changing what AVGN originally was
Ya I was cracking up too. One of my favorite parts of the episode.
I'm always so happy to see The Nerd using the Nintoaster.
I play on a toaster, frames per second is like a one-million-year frames per second but it's okay, still playable
I love how ever since James became a father a lot of dad jokes are now in AVGN episodes
5:30 "nice touch!".I see what you did there.
Theory: Their is a multiverse of AVGNS out there. The one from the Shrek ep was our main universe’s AVGN and he has died. Now we are watching another AVGN from another universe. This AVGN kept the classic episode style for all these years. Also CZcams didn’t demonetize him for his language because CZcams never put those policies in place.
Based from his Bearstein/stain video, the multiverse exists.
Nah, the AVGN who died in the Shrek episode is the one from the Berenstein universe.
@@barrygormley3986 I like that idea
This entire theory should be put into a future AGVN video...oh wait, but it already was....in the past. Maybe this comment thread is how it all got started? Okay....who's breaking the time travel laws and creating paradoxes?
You poor fool. You've seen too much.

"Went to hug him...he died" LOL
If it was "Went to hug her," then it would've been a different story
I've actually been waiting for this review for 13 years. I sent a message while I was still in high school pleading for him to review this game, and offering my copy on the grounds that it be irreparably destroyed at the conclusion.
I never got a reply, but I'm immensely pleased that it finally found it's way to the AVGN catalogue.
This really brings back memories. Memories from a time when youtube was the wild west and I didn't have a care in the world. We live in some rough times, and it's nice to have something to take us back to the past. Thanks for over a decade and a half of catharsis and laughs, James. You're a childhood hero in my book.
The dad puns.....he has evolved into angry video game dad
Next vid will star his two daughters. LOL
Came here to comment on the increasing dadness.
I bet a lot of the people watching have become dads along the way too.
