Angry Video Game Nerd Returns To Retro Con 2013
Retro Con is proud to announce the return of the AVGN. Not only will we have an autograph session, but also a question and answer panel for video gamers to enjoy!
Times will be listed as the convention gets closer.
James is best known for his hilarious reviews of classic video games as the ‘Angry Video Game Nerd’, which mix together insightful commentary, profanity, physical comedy, and various theatrical elements. He’s also made videos based on many retro movies, toys, board games, and more. He is currently working on a feature-length movie based around his AVGN character!
Nintendo World Championships contest sponsored by Too Many Games!
Dust off those VHS copies of The Wizard, this November Retro Con and Too Many Games are bringing back the Nintendo World Championships! We have access to a reproduction of the same carts used at the national event in 1990. For those that aren’t familiar with the contest, it was a live event held in dozens of major cities across the country. Players had 6 minutes and 21 seconds to amass the highest score they could manage. The first feat was to collect 50 coins in the original Super Mario Bros, then the game would jump to a specially designed course of Rad Racer which the player needed to speed through as fast as they could, and finally the last segment was Tetris where the player finished out their remaining time.
Guest Interview with The ‘Angry Video Game Nerd’!
A few years back, we had the wonderful opportunity of interviewing the ‘Angry Video Game Nerd’ we now share that and welcome fans to meet James in person during Retro Con!
