Mike Matei Game Review
If you are frequent purveyor of our blog, you may know that we're HUGE fans of Cinemassacre - home of the brilliant web series, The Angry Video Game Nerd. Matei most notably works on Rolfe's famous Internet series The Angry Video Game Nerd , for which he co-writes, plays a variety of characters ( Jason Voorhees , The Cowardly Lion , The Joker , Leatherface , Bugs Bunny , a Klingon , Michael Myers , etc.), and illustrated the title cards for episodes 5-100 as well as 139.
We since then, there has been a serious split, about people who can't stand it and people who understand that James is ing busy doing his movie, so he offered Mike to take over the channel. The show revolves around the Nerd's commentary of old and typically commercially unsuccessful video games which he deems to be of particularly low-quality, unfair difficulty or poor design.
So, we were in a position where there wasn't going to be any new web-videos from James on the website for roughly half a year. In the course of the interview, our guest discussed many key points he's made in past videos, what has inspired him to create Zelda content on Cinemassacre, and why he enjoys the series so much.
VGFaq - Video Games Frequently Asked Questions - was born out of passion for video games. I believe the first Zelda video I wrote for Cinemassacre was The Angry Video Game Nerd is Chronologically Confused About the Legend of Zelda Timeline â€. In response to them and to the games, the Nerd derives comic appeal from excessive and surrealistic use of fantasy scenarios, anger, and consumption of Rolling Rock (in addition to Yuengling in later videos) while reviewing video games.
However, as classic as those videos may be, I think it goes without saying that none of them even hold a candle to what many people consider to be Mike's magnum opus, and we're finally given a chance to see Inspector Gadget evolve to his full potential.
Some of my favorites include: Batman: The Video Game, Castlevania, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Contra, Double Dragon 2, Duck Tales, Galaga, The Guardian Legend, Kirby's Adventure, The Legend of Zelda, Life Force, Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Ninja Gaiden, Super C, Super Mario Bros.
Leading up to the release of Spider-Man for PS4, Mike Matei takes a look at many Spider-Man games from the past. 2 In 2004, with collaboration from his friend Mike Matei, Rolfe put the Angry Nintendo Nerd videos on his website, In 2006, Matei persuaded Rolfe to put his work on YouTube , where it gained in popularity.
Focusing mainly on games beyond the snes era. The Angry Video Game (PC), AVGN Pixel Land Blast (PC), AVGN KO Boxing (2600 rom), AVGN Planet (PC), AVGN Game Over I and II (PC), The Angry Video Game Nerd (2600), AVGN vs. Dr. Wily (NES), Texting of the Bread (iOS), AVGN Adventures (PC).
The Archfiend didn't stop with the AVGN drama and attacked Mike Matei in Oct 2011 instead. On top of that, I also edit other game reviews, Top Tens, movie reviews and so on. If I spent half my time drawing those title cards, these videos would never get done.
Mike Matei serves as the executive producer for Cinemassarce, the website of The Angry Video Game Nerd , and helps write, edit, and star in the channel's videos. The feud Mike Matei began when the Nostalgia Critic posted a video online where he expressed his disgruntlement towards the Angry Video Game Nerd due to their similarities.
