The show Angry Video Game Nerd has been a long-running web series that has gained a massive following on YouTube and the internet as a whole. The series follows the character of the Angry Video Game Nerd, played by James Rolfe, as he plays and reviews some of the worst, most frustrating, and most bizarre video games ever made.
Season 5, Episode 9 of the series is titled "Day Dreamin' Davey." In this episode, the Angry Video Game Nerd takes on a game that is widely considered to be one of the worst ever made for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The game is called "Day Dreamin' Davey," and it was released back in 1992 by the now-defunct company HAL Laboratory.
At the start of the episode, the Angry Video Game Nerd gives a brief overview of the game and its storyline. In "Day Dreamin' Davey," players take on the role of a young boy named Davey who spends his days daydreaming about various scenarios and adventures. However, as the game progresses, Davey's daydreams become more bizarre and dark, and players must navigate through a series of increasingly challenging levels to complete the game.
As the Angry Video Game Nerd starts playing "Day Dreamin' Davey," it quickly becomes clear that the game is an absolute nightmare to play. The controls are clunky and unresponsive, the graphics are bland and unappealing, and the gameplay is repetitive and frustrating. The Nerd spends the first few minutes of the episode trying to figure out how to even get started with the game, as it is incredibly nonsensical and poorly designed.
Throughout the episode, the Angry Video Game Nerd continues to play "Day Dreamin' Davey," offering his trademark commentary and analysis of the game's various flaws and shortcomings. He notes that the game is riddled with glitches and bugs, including one that causes certain enemies to become invincible and impossible to defeat. He also criticizes the game's poor graphics and lack of creativity, noting that despite the game's premise of being a game about daydreams, the levels all look the same and lack any real sense of imagination or wonder.
As the Angry Video Game Nerd progresses through the game, his frustration and anger towards it continue to grow. He notes that the game is almost unplayable due to its poor controls and unintuitive design, and even goes so far as to compare playing the game to torture. Despite his best efforts, he is unable to complete the game, and eventually gives up in a fit of anger and despair.
Overall, "Day Dreamin' Davey" is yet another classic example of the kinds of terrible games that the Angry Video Game Nerd loves to take on. The episode is filled with his usual wit and humor, as well as his trademark criticisms and complaints about the game's various flaws. Fans of the series will no doubt enjoy seeing yet another terrible game get the Angry Video Game Nerd treatment, while those who are unfamiliar with the series will likely find it to be an entertaining and enjoyable introduction to the world of bad video games.
