How it feels

The Angry Video Game Nerd, a foul-mouthed game reviewer, is pressured by his fans to finally review the notoriously bad E.T. game for Atari. He goes to a New Mexico landfill to prove there are no buried copies, but a government agent chases him, thinking the place is a UFO crash site.

What happens

Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie (abbreviated as AVGN: The Movie) is a 2014 American independent science fiction adventure comedy film written and directed by James Rolfe and Kevin Finn in their feature-directorial debuts. It is based on the web series of the same name created by Rolfe, who stars in the lead role. Jeremy Suarez, Sarah Glendening, Stephen Mendel, Time Winters, Helena Barrett, and Robbie Rist are featured in supporting roles. The story centers around the then urban legend of the mass burial of millions of copies of the 1982 Atari 2600 video game E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, proclaimed as the "worst video game of all time". After a longstanding refusal to address the game in his web series, the Nerd succumbs to pressure by fans to review the video game, embarking on a quest to prove that there is nothing buried there. However, the crew is pursued by federal authorities, led by the villainous General Dark Onward, who believes he is investigating Area 51 and the crash of an unidentified flying object. The film was shown on limited release beginning July 21, 2014, followed by initial digital releases on September 2, 2014. It received mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
