For some of you, you may have seen this already when it came out a few days ago, so, old is old, yadda yadda.. o_O

But, for the rest of us, I just watched the Angry Video Game Nerd's (AVGN) rant on both Superman for the ATARI 2600 and NES and what can I say? I loved Superman on Atari, but, right before I watched it, I had the faint echos of another DToid'ers words in my head .. It made me wonder would 'da Nerd actually be funny??

For cerial, it was only after hearing Mxyzptlk's words in my head 3 times over and over.... "He isn't funny.", that I stopped hesitating and pressed the PLAY button..

So, is he really still funny after all?

Quick, but unfulfilled answer: Maybe he isn't that funny.. Or maybe he IS! Read on and find out! Or, Watch on and comment out! lol


Since GameTrailers has so often failed in embedded.. watch the trailer here.. and to see the clip here is a FLASH link, or to view it in any flavor quicktime or windows media player look around GT upon clicking the flash link.


I laughed throughout his narrative of Superman on the Atari 2600, although he is much more annoyed by it than I am. In fact I love Superman for the Atari.. 11/10! It is challenging, and yes, seemingly pointless or illogical at times.. AVGN: "Why does the background repeat in different colors," etc., but my take on it was back then, (when I was a little little kid) I remember I loved the challenge, graphics and the discovery that awaited every turn and screen away. Map?? WTF?? You memorized the map!

Even though I thought his critique was too much, my memories of Superman (A2600) was too fun to let him get to me.. Until.. DUN DUN DUNNN.. He reviewed Superman (NES).. Then, I was dead silenced.

Bitch here.. Bitch there.. Fuckety fuck fuck over there..

Ok, I never played Superman for NES, and now I think I NEVER will. His biting critique was harsh and thick. I didn't laugh...... UNTIL........ He compared Spiderman and Superman in a way of wonder - AVGN: "Why the hell would Superman use the subway? Couldn't he just fly there? That would be like asking Spiderman to: instead of web slinging from building to building, oh no, take the subway instead and walk"..

Comedy Gold.

All in all, his video may just be a teaser for his next exciting episode of fan service: AVGN Reviews SUPERMAN 64. But, I still lol'ed.

What? You didn't? Please use the box below to express the reasons why. Oh, and be sure to include if you played superman on whichever system, and if you watched it sober (not me) or not (like me). Even if you did LOL a little, lemme know, thanks for your comments and feedback.
