The legendary Angry Video Game Nerd is back with another excitingly hilarious episode of his gaming series! The fourth season's twentieth episode is called “Winter Games”, and the Nerd is ready to rage over some of the most infuriating Winter Olympic games.

In this episode, the Nerd takes on some of the most iconic and classic Winter Olympic games of all time. From skiing and bobsledding to ice skating and ice hockey, he tries his hand at some of the toughest and most frustrating games out there. However, he doesn't shy away from poking fun at the Nintendo entertainment system and branding it useless in terms of attuning with gaming needs.

The episode begins with the Nerd talking about how he always dreaded the Winter Olympics sports as they always seemed more difficult than their Summer counterparts. He especially had a grudge against the bobsledding game, which he claims always gave him a headache and never really did justice to the excitement of the real sports. In this episode, the Nerd decides to revisit this particular game and see if it's as bad as he remembers.

As the Nerd tries to make his way through the game, he faces countless hurdles, endless obstacles, and more glitches than he can count. He has a tough time trying to control his character, and the graphics leave a lot to be desired. He complains about how the game doesn't provide adequate controls, how the audio quality is substandard, and the visuals are horribly pixelated. It is evident that the Nerd’s mood gets worse during this game than others.

Throughout the episode, the Nerd tries his hand at various other Winter Olympic games, such as skiing, ice hockey, and figure skating. Each game presents its own set of challenges, and the Nerd bounces back and forth between cursing his luck and making fun of the ridiculousness of the games. In classic AVGN style, the Nerd can't resist doing an impression of Tonya Harding to express his displeasure with the figure skating game but that was only for the show.

The Nerd humorously critiques the games' graphical and audio quality and notes the inconsistency with which the games operated. For example, the ice hockey game's controls are so lousy that Nerd keeps messing up the gameplay and getting kicked out for too many penalties. However, he couldn't resist some solid chuckles about the yeti in the skiing game.

Despite all the frustrations the Nerd faces, he does find one game that he genuinely enjoys playing – Luge. It was the only game the Nerd said he genuinely enjoyed playing throughout the episode. He praises the game's controls, graphics, and overall game mechanics and even calls it the “highlight of the entire Winter Olympics”.

In conclusion, the Angry Video Game Nerd's “Winter Games” episode is filled with classic Nerd rage, hilarious commentary, and witty critiques of old school Winter Olympic games. The Nerd's humor is on point, and his cynicism towards old video games provides the perfect balance between frustration and entertainment. Whether you're a fan of the Winter Olympics games or not, this episode is sure to make you laugh and cry at the same time. It's an authentic Nerd experience that lives up to its reputation and doesn't disappoint anyone.
