Hard News[]
New Nintendo Direct - Nintendo had a direct discussing Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, and some other non-interesting things.
New Kirby Game - There is a new Kirby game in the works, that looks like Superstar Saga. Craig asks when the next big third party game is coming to the Wii U. Bayonetta 2 is the biggest third party game. Smash Bros will sell the console. Nintendo have been discussing taking Zelda in a new direction, which was said for Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword. PETA complained about Nintendo having to change the term 'cat suit' to 'cat transformation', which annoys Craig.
Tom Clancy passes away - Tom Clansy has died. Chad has never been a fan of Tom Clancy games. The Division was shown at E3. Chad was surprised when it said Tom Clancy at the title screen. Sam wants a Tom Clancy kart game.
Nintendo gets pissed - Some images from Pokemon X and Y started popping up. A store in Canada got the game early, and he gave it to his friend. The friend started putting stuff online early. He then put up a picture that said 'Got Nintendo'd'. Nintendo sent a rep out, and wanted to destroy the game store. The game was given back. They took the game away from the guy! The whole point of a worldwide launch was so that everyone could experience the game at the same time. Craig says to not give small stores the game early. Craig says that it is equally the guy at the store's fault. Chad reminds Craig that he got him Smash Bros early! You need to make sure your friends are trustworthy. Craig wants to know if they are still friends.
Middle Segment[]
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is now on Steam.
Craig was going to Tolson Alclohoma to interview Weird Al Yankovic for the 25th anniversary of his movie. A couple of weeks later, Craig was supposed to appear at a telethon about a telethon. They didn't have the broadcasting rights to the movie, they would cut to Craig and Brad during the film's airing. Craig was beyond excited about it. Craig was going to interview the red snapper lady and was going to give her a red cracker. Craig wanted to play a prank with a box game.
They were apparently expecting Craig to bring an entire crew. Craig had to be out in the hallway as another movie is being shown in the studio! Craig and Brad would have to fill 90 minutes of a stream in a hallway using public wi-fi. Craig had a full rundown, and had to pull up videos on their laptops, recording the webcams between the laptops! Craig was so disappointed. The lady running it wanted nothing to do with them! Craig decided to finish it, and left as soon as it was done.
Chad thought it was funny. Craig told Chad it was the worst thing he has ever done, and told Chad to take it off the site! Craig prepared a huge amount for it, and everything got thrown out the window. They tried to mess with the control room people. It was stupid and really bad. Brad swore loudly as soon as they left. They left to go back home for a 5 hour drive. Chad was laughing the whole time, as Craig was so excited and had so much planned.
They were totally screwed and didn't notice that they didn't have the rights to show the movie for the full 90 minutes. Craig only got to do one interview in the hallway. Chad tuned into it and was horrified by what he saw. Craig found out some cool things from the woman he interviewed - who was the mayor's wife, which wasn't made clear in the movie, while Brad held the computer up to her! Craig was disappointed that it didn't turn out better. There was a clear miscommunication, as they appear to have expected a full staff and production.
Craig discusses an amazing painting. Craig wanted to buy it in the auction. It was given to Weird Al. Craig was willing to pay $1000 for it! Craig will think about this whenever he thinks about the movie from now on. Craig isn't upset with anyone - not even the lady who screwed him over.
Newsdesk[]
In a story when nobody was hurt. The Asian side of the world likes robots according to Sam. In China, an art expo is going on. An attractive female robot was being used as a tour guide. She was decommissioned because people would grope and fondle her! Craig would expect this from that part of the world for the stereotyping. Chad would expect this to happen in America as well. Sam would be curious about how well made the robot was.
Halloween is coming around. A costume has been removed from all the major stores. Craig and Chad thought it was going to be about Miley Cyrus. The Halloween costume was based off of Osama bin Laden! How did the costume get green lit? Craig predicts that people would be fine with a dead Osama bin Laden.
A teacher from South Korea had a bratty kid in his class. He beat the shit out of the kid! The teacher then went outside the classroom, dropped his pants and started masturbating in the hallway! Craig jokes about that becoming the norm in WWE or at after school fights. Sam pulls up a video.
Forum Questions[]
Q. When was the last time you guys laughed hard?
Sam discusses the E3 Overtime Outtakes video. They were all laughing a lot, and Lauren almost fell out of her chair. Sam was making weird noises that would make everyone lose it. Chad discusses the response to Andre the Black Nerd. Craig's joke was to make a racial joke back to Andre's. Andre thought it was hilarious. Sam discusses the dog with the slime on Sidescrollers. Sam and Craig lose it again. They joke about the person that died in Glee.
Q. What do you think is next for Pokemon games after X & Y? Do you think they will go down the same road as Skylanders and Disney's Infinity?
It would be smart if they did. Sam thinks it would be a step to making a Pokemon MMO. Chad describes Pokemon Rumble. Skylanders was headed by Spyro. It got the hardcore audience to look at it. It would be a system seller for the Wii U. (Pokemon Rumble figurines are shown)
"It's already a thing!!!"
"OMG! These guys are idiots! - Parker"
Chad is surprised they haven't done AR.
Q. What are some adaptations you've always wanted to see happen? Book to movie, game to show.
Chad reads the Game of Thrones books a long time ago. He wanted to see this in a movie series. He predicted that Game of Thrones would do ridiculously well. They messed it up, and do a lot of dumb stuff. Chad knew things would have to change, but some parts are ludicrous and obvious.
Craig wants Boardwalk Empire as a game. Chad describes it as a corrupt SimCity. Nascar wouldn't exist if it weren't for bootlegging.
Sam wants a book about himself. Sam wants a lot of things such as a Final Fantasy movie, but it turns out terrible.
The birthday challenge was to be mildly interesting. One g1 was given Pokemon cards that he didn't want as a kid. This week's challenge is Knuckle Thompson, and the prohibition era.
