Polybius - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) 

And you haven't given out the location yet, after over 1 year, probably because the place does not have the real Polybius arcade cabinet.

Cinemassacre this was one of your best video

This was a great story

Any posibility of get an e-mail or phone number of Monica Jaskolowski? My name is Lisandro Jaskolowski, I'm from Argentina and I would like to know that person because I think that last name is not very common in the world. I would apreciate any help to contact her. Thanks and greetings to all the awesome AVGN comunity.

I said this on facebook but I've been leaning on the AVGN show as of late because of depression until my new meds start kicking in. Thank you Nerd for brightening up my last couple of weeks.

he's literally soul binded to nord vpn these days

LOL nice dude this should be liked by James

@@kriticalitylives *cries in avast secureline*

Same. I was watching at night and clicked out of the video half way through

Me to

This is obviously made to spook people. Legit thought this was real though.

hes not the same lol

Supergamezraccoon You did??

Really? I mean he tried but...

@@gagaface26 it’s a bit hokey in some parts but I don’t think he’s ever had professional training so it’s still impressive.

Who is James I thought this was the nerd

@@atomato0556 James is the nerd, it’s his real name. 🙂

@@saveourplanet0139 I know I’m just playing along

I feel like the jumpscare at the end was deserved after all the atmosphere and small little things he did to just make it horror without all of the cheap scares.

The end jumpscare actually made me punch the screen of my phone.

The part where AVGN hits the Polybius cabinet while trying to get help kinda works as a jumpscares. It's unexpected and sorta loud but there is nothing scary about it so it keeps the mood going.

Jumpscares, when used properly, are actually pretty effective. The problem is a lot of badly done horror tends to rely too heavily on them so they loose their effectiveness.

You’re special cheetahmen refrence

IMPRESSIVE 😂

Your right.

What about Polybius ON TIGER HANDHELDS?!

WE NEED POLYBIUS ON TIGER HANDHELDS

POLYBIUS: THE WRIST GAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE

All of you saying Polybius wrist games or Polybius tiger games, quit tainting our minds

You forgot Polybius, the one remade by LJN.

Noticed that too. Thought it was brilliant.

he can't run, theres no point. it wont let him

The game is drawing him in against his will, he is trying to resist but it may be too late!

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's Polybius on his mind already, mom's spaghetti

I agree

Woah I almost had a seizure at the end of the video!

That's Captain Obvious

That was just a fucking joke ok? I didn't actually have a seizure

@gar2006 they don't have to be a holes

Amazing in what way? He's very unnatural in most situations. He's good at being angry nerd, that's for sure. But everything else - not so much. Except Board James episode about DreamPhone Killer on how was it called - that was his best performance in my opinion. And yes, I'm an actor myself, so I can judge.

MrAliquam What type of actor?

@@MrAliquam What have you been in? Mac Beth, Hamlet, King Lear, I'm sure.... Or are you in the MCU?

I said that when I saw the AVGN movie tonight, I really do think he's a pretty good actor

Declan Corey I would like to watch the movie with AVGN

My head canon is that Polybius machine and the one from this Nerd episode are the same, meaning the AVGN is canon in the Marvel Multiverse.

@@arnahunas4048 Does it mean the Robo VS Nerd fight was cannon in the Marvel universe?

That is awesome!!! I never noticed that!

@@arnahunas4048 mind blown

@@arnahunas4048 I'M BATMAAAAAAN.

It reeks of late 90’s-early 2000’s horror in a great way. Think Blair witch, paranormal activity, or lost tapes.

totally agree. This is art.

Yes

a liminal space is a kind of transitional space, when something that once was used by humans is abandoned now. like an school with no children, an empty mall, a house with no furniture, etc. it messes with the brain cuz its so used t seeing ppl in locations like dese

It’s the video game graveyard for old and bad games

Even I think like that. They do give us that lost and forgotten feel.

@@LMC764 and if you’re not careful, and fall through the walls of reality in one of these areas, you’ll end up in the backrooms…

Yes it is definitely creepy

why exactly?

lol I never noticed that. Very cool.

17:58 you can see another person reflected from the arcade glass

​@@blackzero786 How come I'm just seeing that?!

In 18:34 you can see a palm on the dusty glass on the left appear

together with "Just the tip"

"Hold my beer and watch this!"

"Wombo Combo! Damn son OHHH OHHH OHHHHHHHHH"

Well, he is the duplicate. This was plagiarized.

@@bluebirdsigma ???

@@JohnSmith-be1vl Technically, that was one of his cowriters for Monster Madness Around the World, but yes, James needs to be more careful of who he works with.

@@rawkfistgaming 👿

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn right baby

It’s not real horror. It’s found footage.

...up until the jumpscares. The cheapest of all horror tropes. The tension was building up beautifully (one of Jame's best projects IMO), and I was counting on him NOT to use jumpscares. Then he used 2 of them... Disappointing, but nonetheless an amazing episode and great filmmaking.

@@dorespoog2229 admit this was still hillarious

Ok ass itch

it's a f*king masterpiece

THE HORROR

after polybius LJN took an oath to do only bad games, that no one would suffer. After that they exchanged the remnants of the soul for the ability to make shitty games.

Ell. Oh. Ell.

what video are you talking about?

It was even better when he initially released one segment a day over a week.

I love how indifferent he is on the beginning.

AVGN stays at the overlook hotel

Captain Pantaloons That’s some M.Knight Shamlayan shit right there

You mean EA?

you made me spit my coffee on a table.

Swagger Sonic! It’s actually Night not Knight, though Knight sounds cooler lol

Ah the plot thickens.

Diego Garcia underrated comment

Exept legitimateley good

Diego Garcia Game Of Shadows: Blair Nerd 2.

@Chai Mocha oh thats dope id love to see them 😂 but i feel like hed make some that go down in history if he got the right budget ya know

He is.

If you remember the board james series he made it was a complete masterpiece I think in directing considering the budget and acting

JakSmacksR6 the real horror is all the shitty games he hasn’t played yet

he made a horror series called board james

AlphaOmegaSin Oh wow, hi! Happy to see you in the AVGN comments. I love your videos :)

Yup, and it should star a female protagonist fighting for social polybius justice and- lol nevermind.

Also, I'm sad Lords of Thunder died. :(

AlphaOmegaSin this is as good as it is

I'd imagine it'd have a binding of issac-ish feel to it

its more like a CVGN episode the Calm video game nerd

Dude! I just binged watched all of Board James the other day! The Mr. Bucket episode was absolutely insane. Season 3 as a whole was among the best content I've seen on RU-vid.

haha! Or how about...The SBUTJSVGN (The Slow Burn Until The Jump Scare Video Game Nerd)

I seriously think he has the talent to make a legit horror flick from watching this.

Preach! Would love to see James do an 'Evil Dead' esque movie

Who said they couldn’t?

Both video games and the Internet have tons of horror potential. Too bad almost nobody ever does anything with it.

This is evidence that James just LOVES the horror genre (not if there’s anything wrong with that)

If done right

I'm sure you've never watched Stay Alive 2006?

Where in 18:33?

The handprint

We got a real Einstein here

Tiene sentido

It's the Area 51 guards that have polybius

In games no one can here you scream! 🤫

The gaurd wondering why your leaving empty handed

He's gradually left the "Angry" part behind which is disappointing because that's what made these episodes so great. For a bit he kept it up but I think he found it hard to be angry without manufacturing it too much. I think it also has something to do with the fact that he covered most of the games that frustrated him in his childhood where most of his pent up rage came from.

Very true. AVGN was often far calmer than you'd think.

You need to make a AVGN youtube poop.

Zal Animate Interesting idea...

he needs to review ride to hell retribution

After seeing someone do a pretty easy walkthrough of Jekyll and Hyde... I have to say, that game is nowhere as terribly hard as James made it out to be.

Yeah, not even THIS is as bad at that...

"I turned you OFF!!!" ... "Yeah. But you turn me ON!!!" XD

I am 23 now and I still have nightmares about that fucking bucket

Mr Bucket VS Polybius!!!

Kitty McRatSlayer p

Nah he starting watching old movies and tv shows and became the Nostalgia Critic

TokyoBrando James: THAT WAS THE PHONE!!!

Make sense

You sure did

amen brotha

Yep

Right?

*hell

it's TNT Amusements in Southampton, PA since the Nerd originates from that area.

That's just a description of how humans think though. Humans are incapable of original ideas; every possible thought, fantasy and daydream that can form in your head are based on things you have previously been exposed to. This applies to every work of fiction, every piece of art and every product humanity has ever produced.

@L W Munger Yeah, I know one of the theories is that Polybius was used as a part of Project MKUltra.

This is when creepypastas were called "urban legends"

Shut it furry

@@nosoreel5556 Oh, look at you, big tough guy. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

TNT Amusements? Lol really? Was Freddy chasing you around and all the venting had an eerie red glow coming from it?

@@EQOAnostalgia nah, it was like a toy store or sum stuff, I forgor💀 what happened in it but I know it was a nightmare

My soul left my body when I saw that part.

Well Mr. HUNK. Tell me, is Polybius a product of Umbrella?

That's what the warehouse owner was screaming about. Shit all over the cabinets.

Have fun! =)

Oh, you’ve definitely seen it. You just might not remember.

Benjamian Hausmann well, you do know that one of the symptoms is memory loss...

You just forgot about having watched this. It's Polybius after all ;)

OMA2k I’ve also never seen this

Me too. When he said that line, I knew where the story was going and a chill went down my spine.

Me too

It needs to be destroyed

It indeed is with the wrong content

SpaceTaco 101 yea seriously. Pyrocinical did a stupidly amazing video on this too. A lot of people put a lot of effort into their polybius video.

If you wanna see a polybius video with a ton of effort look up polybius by achannel called ahoy its simple amazing

Berenstein* I don't believe in berenstain

have a good one, also i remember those classic vids :-)

What the hell is gaming responsively? Do you know what that word means?

+matrix I mean game in moderation so you don't end up in bad nick like the Nerd.

How was it originally released?

@@hbstudios280 1 day at a time

I've got to admit it really would. This is one of James's most well shot and acted pieces and I adore it even if I hate jumpscares.

Gotta face the jumpscares like a man. "The brave face the blade" a saying that some people on the guillotine would face upwards to watch the blade fall towards them.

Yeah i heard about that. Such a shame I never got to ride that hype train, I heard it was the shit.

Right

Bro you called it

AllIntensivePorpoises Yeah.

W H E R E I S T H E L I E T H O

Charjungle same

he may not be joking

Pussy

Wow really scared? Lol

Du spreche Deutsch?

hes the creepy vide game nerd

I know, right? It's also the scariest. Like, this video is legitimately scary. James held nothing back with this one.

Not the classic amusing AVGN, he kinda lost that vein. But he wildly improved as a director, no doubt.

probably one of my least favorites but i see how people might like it.

Sense *Delete*

After the video ended I rick rolled my self

I was expecting the gameplay to be a shitty LJN game

Yep, Polybius was never gonna give him up! ;)

Destu Saying "shitty" there is a little redundant, it's understood from the start.

Jake Touchet what about maximum carnage

Totally agree. This is a real Halloween treat

Definitely one I'll go back to time and again.

Not really, it's just a cool, different one. Definitely not best.

If not his best episode then definitely his top 10.

Maybe top 10, but still not the best one

Thanks. Nice to meet fans here :D. But no wonder: AVGN rocks!
