AVGN is a cartoon character. He's been turned into glitches once, remember?

I think this episode had the least amount of actual game play of any episode.

[@xXSKY64Xx]

This took me awhile to start watching, because Shrek doesn’t seem like the type of thing AVGN would talk about.

[@xXSKY64Xx]

But that’s because Shrek (Yes while an old movie now) came out at around a time when James was too old for that stuff. I always loved watching James videos where he just talks about the stuff he grew up with. They always had a home vibe to them, even though I was born in 2000. So to hear him talking about Shrek, a movie he didn’t grow up with, seemed so jarring to me. But I’m a little excited as I always wanted to see what his opinions on more recent media were, especially Pokémon. I would love to see him talk about Pokemon, even if it’s just about how he saw it, and never played the games themselves.

The Nerd should've pulled out his NES accessories and peripherals arsenal. He might've stood a chance.

[@jubjub444]

He didn't have them with him

[@Saphryu]

Let me get this straight: The nerd plays a game where he plays as shrek fighting other characters from the movie. He's then put in a situation where he's actually wearing a shrek costume about to be killed by shrek worshippers wearing costumes for other shrek characters. I thought the logical finish to the episode was the nerd fighting all the others, paralleling the game.

[@Jamick98Geass]

Someone clearly never saw The Wickerman.

[@jacklazzaro9820]

They could’ve at least recreated Shrek fighting the knights, complete with Bad Reputation playing in the background

[@Redh0und]

I thought it was a play on midsommar

[@CobaltCruiser]

Honestly it does feel like a missed opportunity to not even tie in the game at least a little.
