It was a commercial failure and millions of unsold game cartridges were buried in a desert landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
#Nerd adventure save file movie
Atari produced a game based on the biggest blockbuster movie of that year, E.T., and rushed it to meet the deadline for the Christmas shopping season. The film is inspired by the famous Atari video game burial of 1982. Additional filming is taking place on the East Coast. Principle photography took place in Spring of 2012, in the Los Angeles area, with Jason Brewer as the DP.
The film is being produced outside the studio system, entirely funded by fan donations. “Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie” is a passion project by independent filmmakers James Rolfe and Kevin Finn, based on the popular web series. The fans who came out were great! They were all very nice people and seemed truly happy to see me there. No, they couldn’t even unload the fucking cargo compartment and give everyone their luggage back! After the flight was cancelled, they withheld everyone’s luggage until the following day. I almost brought my real camera, but I’m glad I didn’t try because it would have been extra luggage that I’d have to check at the airport. The video and audio quality isn’t that great, but it was the best we could do. It was recorded on an iPhone and is only brief clips.
We obviously didn’t want to turn anyone away.Įven though my panel had to be cancelled, I got to be on a panel with Doug Walker (The Nostalgia Critic) who is really great at entertaining crowds. In fact, the whole line applauded when we announced we would be extending the signing. Most people seemed to prefer the autograph opportunity over the panel. Furthermore, my main panel got cancelled, because the line at the autograph signing was never-ending. Since we missed the first day, my schedule got really crammed. Eventually, we chose to rent a car and drive. After waiting on hold on the phone and struggling to get any wi-fi access out of our laptop, we found out there were no more flights open until the next day. No one was there in person to help us rebook our flights. Turns out, after hours and hours of waiting, the flight was straight out CANCELLED. Unfortunately, my wife and I spent the first day sitting at the airport waiting for our flight which was delayed perpetually. My schedule was jam-packed with interviews, panels and autograph signings, one of which was taking place at A&C Game Store in Toronto. It took place in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. So spike your eggnog and grab your stockings, 'cause the Nerd is going to town on these awful games!Ĭon Bravo was my first appearance at a gaming convention outside the USA. If you were hoping for peace and love this Christmas, you might be watching the wrong video.
And just when you think it can't get any worse, the Nerd busts out the baddest of the bad - Bible-themed games on the CD-i! How developers Color Dreams were inspired to turn this into a Christian game defies common sense.
Wrap your head around that one! After that, we've got Sunday Funday, a religious rehash of Menace Beach, a game where you play as a skateboarder who's trying to save his girlfriend from gangsters before she gets stripped naked. Instead of watching heart-warming Christmas specials, he's playing some more bad games of biblical proportions, and the strange Christian-themed games just keep coming!įirst up is Noah's Ark, developed by Contra developers Konami and released in 1992 for the NES. It's the most wonderful time of the year.
