The episode Deadly Towers of Angry Video Game Nerd season 3 is nothing short of an intense rollercoaster ride of frustration and intense hilarity. This installment of the popular gaming review show sees the Nerd taking on an obscure and downright painful game from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) era, Deadly Towers.

Right from the outset of the episode, the Nerd makes it clear that Deadly Towers is a game that is known for its difficulty and has long been a source of frustration for gamers. The game's sinister-looking box art and ominous title are enough to send shivers down the spine of any seasoned gamer, and the Nerd quickly sets about demonstrating why.

The graphics in Deadly Towers are limited, even for an 8-bit game, and the Nerd is quick to point out the game's dull and uninspired color palette. The design of the game's main character, Prince Myer, is particularly odd, with his blue tights and inexplicable horned helmet giving him the appearance of a disco Viking.

As the Nerd delves further into Deadly Towers, he discovers that not only is the gameplay impossibly hard, but it's also convoluted and downright confusing. The game's levels frequently change in design, and the Nerd highlights the bizarre and seemingly random placement of the game's various enemies.

However, it's not just the game's design that the Nerd takes issue with, it's also the game's controls. The Nerd spends a significant amount of time pointing out the flaws in the game's jumping mechanics, which are crucial to advancing through the game's levels. The Nerd demonstrates how the game's physics make it impossible to jump consistently or accurately, leading to countless frustrating deaths for the player.

Throughout the episode, the Nerd intersperses his gameplay footage with hilarious cutscenes and skits. The episode is a showcase of the Nerd's comedic talent, and fans of the show will not be disappointed. The Nerd's frustration with Deadly Towers is palpable, and his exasperated screams provide plenty of laughs for viewers.

As the Nerd battles through the game's various levels, the episode takes on a frantic pace. The Nerd's commentary becomes increasingly frenzied as he becomes more and more frustrated with the game. However, even as the Nerd descends into madness, his sense of humor never wavers, and the episode is packed with plenty of clever one-liners and gags.

One of the highlights of the episode comes when the Nerd takes on the game's first boss, a giant spider. The boss battle is absurdly difficult, and the Nerd's reaction to it is priceless. He even goes so far as to create a hilarious song about the spider's insidious nature.

As with many episodes of Angry Video Game Nerd, the episode Deadly Towers ends with a particularly hilarious skit. However, viewers will have to tune in to see what bizarre shenanigans the Nerd gets up to in this installment. Suffice to say, it's a fitting end to an episode that is packed with laughs and frustration in equal measure.

All in all, Deadly Towers is a fantastic episode of Angry Video Game Nerd that sees the Nerd at his absolute best. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing the Nerd tackle an obscure and incredibly difficult game with his trademark wit and humor. Meanwhile, newcomers to the show will undoubtedly be won over by the Nerd's boundless energy and comedic talent.
