Line #42 YMMV/TheAngryVideoGameNerdAdventures


1	-----
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: One of the highest points of the game is that the soundtrack is masterfully composed to sound like an 8-bit game, something that the Nerd himself has praised. One of the highlights is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj0dRh1aVAU Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts]][[note]]Which is a CallBack, being a remix of the [[TutorialLevel tutorial level's]] music.[[/note]], which was so awesome that it's used ''again'' in the penultimate stage of the sequel.
3	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Riding the lava shark in "Thy Farts Consumed". You absolutely destroy everything, and the Nerd doesn't say a damn thing about it. When you reach the end, an achievement pops up called "Yea... That just happened" [sic]. Even the ''game itself'' seems confused at what just happened.
4	* BrokenBase: Whether or not the game is good. On the one hand, the game gathered a number of good reviews and is quite well put together. On the other hand, the difficulty goes ''too far'' and can [[ItsHardSoItSucks make the game a chore to play]], and even then the whole adventure can be beaten in [[ItsShortSoItSucks under two hours]].
5	* NauseaFuel: "Beat It and Eat It", which is based on pornographic Atari games, was deliberately designed to be as disgusting as possible. Enemies on this stage are literal chocolate starfish, a boy that uses his own genitals as a pogo stick, a naked witch, and spears shaped like phalluses. The floor is also covered with semen, which causes the nerd to slide if stepped on. Appropriately enough, this is the level where the Bullshit Man can be unlocked.
6	* NightmareFuel: In ''AVGN I & II Deluxe'', the sudden appearance of [[spoiler:the Bloodstain Bears]] as the boss of Happy Fun Candy Time can count as such. The same goes for the [[spoiler:head of the original boss quite graphically decapitated on a pike.]]
7	* ScrappyMechanic:
8	** The copious amounts of death blocks are the main obstacle in every single level and will inevitably cheap shot the player with their abundant placement.
9	** Primarily because of the aforementioned death blocks, you will be seeing the Nerd's death quotes ''a lot''. In ''AVGN I & II Deluxe'', they've been cut in favor of the respawn mechanic from the second game.
10	* {{Squick}}: Upon closer inspection, one should notice that the Bullshit Man performs his double jump by sharting.
11	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong:
12	** The music on the level select screen is similar to the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'' level select screen.
13	** "Beat It And Eat It" is heavily-based on "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hoDjhniOqA Mr. Vain]]" by Culture Beat.
14	** Part of "Boo! Haunted House" has a suspiciously similar version of the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' theme.
15	** The music playing in the level "Blizzard of Dicks" is a re-arrangement of Music/MikeOldfield's "In Dulci Jubilo".
16	* ThatOneAchievement:
17	** "Complete Badass", earned by beating [[HarderThanHard Fucking Impossible mode]]. Do note that in [[HarderThanHard Fucking Impossible]] mode, you're a OneHitPointWonder with five lives, and there are [[CheckpointStarvation no checkpoints.]]
18	** The only thing that tops that is "Bow before the God of Video Games!", earned by beating [[{{Permadeath}} YOLO]] mode -- exactly like the above, except now you only have ''one'' life. Yep, [[HarderThanHard one hit and you're back to the tutorial level]].
19	** Similarly, "Totally Perfect Nerd" in the Deluxe version. While it is not nearly as difficult compared to the above two achievements, since you can earn it even on lower difficulties, it still requires you to do a Perfect (no death) run of every single level.
20	* ThatOneBoss:
21	** The Christmas Ghosts in the original game. They alternately attack by expanding their swirling circular motion and fire an 8-point icicle star, both which are difficult to dodge due to the limited and slippery floor space that makes the pit just as much of an enemy. In addition, they can only be damaged when they are close together, making them also very resilient. Because of this, they were made easier in the Deluxe version with expanded floor space, slower attacks, and being able to be damaged at any time.
22	** The Deluxe version turned [[DualBoss Bimmy and Jimmy]] (i.e. Freddy and Jason) into this, because Jimmy's chainsaw became a OneHitKill. Skylar (the green head of "Where did you learn to fly" infamy) also became harder to dodge in her TurnsRed phase.
23	* ThatOneLevel: In a game designed to emulate the NintendoHard era of video games, all of the levels are naturally tough to beat. However, among the eight main levels, "Boo! Haunted House" takes the cake as the most frustrating. [[BlackoutBasement Most of the floor and wall tiles aren't visible until you get close to them]], making it difficult to react to dangers in time when the level forces you to move quickly. It doesn't help that the level is severely lacking in beer compared to the other ones, meaning mistakes are punished more harshly, especially when trying to go for [[NoDamageRun No-Death Runs]].
