And you haven't given out the location yet, after over 1 year, probably because the place does not have the real Polybius arcade cabinet.
Cinemassacre this was one of your best video
This was a great story
Any posibility of get an e-mail or phone number of Monica Jaskolowski? My name is Lisandro Jaskolowski, I'm from Argentina and I would like to know that person because I think that last name is not very common in the world. I would apreciate any help to contact her. Thanks and greetings to all the awesome AVGN comunity.
I said this on facebook but I've been leaning on the AVGN show as of late because of depression until my new meds start kicking in. Thank you Nerd for brightening up my last couple of weeks.
The second he said "Im starting to think its above average." I knew where this was going.
Same. I was watching at night and clicked out of the video half way through

This is obviously made to spook people. Legit thought this was real though.
hes not the same lol
Supergamezraccoon You did??
Is it just me but that warehouse filled with arcade cabinets just feel haunting in a way?
Yes
a liminal space is a kind of transitional space, when something that once was used by humans is abandoned now. like an school with no children, an empty mall, a house with no furniture, etc. it messes with the brain cuz its so used t seeing ppl in locations like dese
It’s the video game graveyard for old and bad games
Even I think like that. They do give us that lost and forgotten feel.
@@LMC764 and if you’re not careful, and fall through the walls of reality in one of these areas, you’ll end up in the backrooms…
I appreciate that James' genuine respect for real horror shows in this.
damn right baby
It’s not real horror. It’s found footage.
...up until the jumpscares. The cheapest of all horror tropes. The tension was building up beautifully (one of Jame's best projects IMO), and I was counting on him NOT to use jumpscares. Then he used 2 of them... Disappointing, but nonetheless an amazing episode and great filmmaking.
@@dorespoog2229 admit this was still hillarious
Ok ass itch
What's really scary about this episode is the lack of music.
When the video started the music sounded like he was doing a paranormal investigation series. But later on the music just became completely silent. I think that's what horror movies are missing, no music sometimes disturbs people. But most horror movies prefer to use Erie music to "scare" you.
Also no jump scares. It's better to build up tension then actually just go for the typical FNAF jump scare. (Except there was a jump scare at the end, but that's besides the point)
I feel like the jumpscare at the end was deserved after all the atmosphere and small little things he did to just make it horror without all of the cheap scares.
The end jumpscare actually made me punch the screen of my phone.
The part where AVGN hits the Polybius cabinet while trying to get help kinda works as a jumpscares. It's unexpected and sorta loud but there is nothing scary about it so it keeps the mood going.
Jumpscares, when used properly, are actually pretty effective. The problem is a lot of badly done horror tends to rely too heavily on them so they loose their effectiveness.
Those jumpscares still get me.
It's a lie. Polybius didn't hurt people. Only the handheld Tiger version did.
What about Polybius ON TIGER HANDHELDS?!
WE NEED POLYBIUS ON TIGER HANDHELDS
POLYBIUS: THE WRIST GAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE
All of you saying Polybius wrist games or Polybius tiger games, quit tainting our minds
You forgot Polybius, the one remade by LJN.
Can we all talk about how much of an amazing actor James Rolfe is?
Amazing in what way? He's very unnatural in most situations. He's good at being angry nerd, that's for sure. But everything else - not so much. Except Board James episode about DreamPhone Killer on how was it called - that was his best performance in my opinion.
And yes, I'm an actor myself, so I can judge.
MrAliquam What type of actor?
@@MrAliquam What have you been in?
Mac Beth, Hamlet, King Lear, I'm sure....
Or are you in the MCU?
I said that when I saw the AVGN movie tonight, I really do think he's a pretty good actor
Declan Corey I would like to watch the movie with AVGN
This is like a live action gaming creepypasta Story done right
I agree
Woah I almost had a seizure at the end of the video!
That's Captain Obvious
That was just a fucking joke ok? I didn't actually have a seizure
@gar2006 they don't have to be a holes
Polybius appeared in the background in the Void, in the show Loki recently which I thought was a cool Easter Egg. The Void is where they send everything that wasn't supposed to exist in the timeline so it makes sense.
My head canon is that Polybius machine and the one from this Nerd episode are the same, meaning the AVGN is canon in the Marvel Multiverse.

James should honestly be a horror movie director hes so talented when it comes to this stuff he could make some of the best horror movies with the right budget
@Chai Mocha oh thats dope id love to see them 😂 but i feel like hed make some that go down in history if he got the right budget ya know
He is.
If you remember the board james series he made it was a complete masterpiece I think in directing considering the budget and acting
JakSmacksR6 the real horror is all the shitty games he hasn’t played yet
he made a horror series called board james
This vid shows why James is often imitated, but very rarely duplicated. When he finally walks off into the sun set, he'll leave a rich legacy behind.
Well, he is the duplicate. This was plagiarized.
@@bluebirdsigma ???
@@JohnSmith-be1vl Technically, that was one of his cowriters for Monster Madness Around the World, but yes, James needs to be more careful of who he works with.

Hey all, Scott here!
I randomly stumbled across this 5 years after the fact but this is easily the best Nerd episode ever. I was hooked from the start.
It reeks of late 90’s-early 2000’s horror in a great way. Think Blair witch, paranormal activity, or lost tapes.
totally agree. This is art.
"Just one more game."
Famous last words.
together with
"Just the tip"
"Hold my beer and watch this!"
"Wombo Combo! Damn son OHHH OHHH OHHHHHHHHH"
This AVGN episode feels so different from the others but I think that's its greatest strength. Definitely shows James' roots in horror based filmmaking. Well done!
its more like a CVGN episode the Calm video game nerd
Dude! I just binged watched all of Board James the other day! The Mr. Bucket episode was absolutely insane. Season 3 as a whole was among the best content I've seen on TH-cam.
haha! Or how about...The SBUTJSVGN (The Slow Burn Until The Jump Scare Video Game Nerd)
I seriously think he has the talent to make a legit horror flick from watching this.
Preach! Would love to see James do an 'Evil Dead' esque movie
The subtle ways he shows him going mad is just plain brilliance.
Ell. Oh. Ell.
what video are you talking about?
It was even better when he initially released one segment a day over a week.
I love how indifferent he is on the beginning.
AVGN stays at the overlook hotel
21:59 I like that the owner of the arcade lockup is WALKING for his life
he can't run, theres no point. it wont let him
The game is drawing him in against his will, he is trying to resist but it may be too late!
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's Polybius on his mind already, mom's spaghetti
The twist? The people responsible for Polybius went on to form a little company known as "LJN" :P
Captain Pantaloons
That’s some M.Knight Shamlayan shit right there
You mean EA?
you made me spit my coffee on a table.
Swagger Sonic! It’s actually Night not Knight, though Knight sounds cooler lol
Ah the plot thickens.
Nothing that Polybius can do to the human mind could ever compare to the sheer terror unleashed upon it by Mr. Bucket.
Yeah, not even THIS is as bad at that...
"I turned you OFF!!!"
...
"Yeah. But you turn me ON!!!" XD
I am 23 now and I still have nightmares about that fucking bucket
Mr Bucket VS Polybius!!!

There's a fantastic video from "Ahoy" about Polybius where he tracks back it's origin. He goes really in depth and does insane amounts of work to discover evidence.
Well Mr. HUNK. Tell me, is Polybius a product of Umbrella?
@@nick56677 I can confirm this.
I've already see a bit of the video
500th like in this
Ahoy is just amazing. He doesn't make a lot of videos but every one of them is gold.
At 14:07 when he says "I was gonna come up with something more to pl- uh, say here." It's such a subtle little thing to show how fixated his mind is on playing the game.
Noticed that too. Thought it was brilliant.
A real Polybius machine would probably have the LJN rainbow on the cabinet.
Mark Linstom 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
hahahahhahahahahahahahaahh
THE HORROR
after polybius LJN took an oath to do only bad games, that no one would suffer. After that they exchanged the remnants of the soul for the ability to make shitty games.
Crazy 12 years later and 150 episodes in and he may have just created his best episode. Fantastic work like always James
Totally agree. This is a real Halloween treat
Definitely one I'll go back to time and again.
Not really, it's just a cool, different one. Definitely not best.
If not his best episode then definitely his top 10.
Maybe top 10, but still not the best one
Okay, I've always enjoyed AVN videos. But this one goes into cinematic territory; you've created a mash-up comedy, found footage films, video games, and Snopes. Single best episode I've ever seen, loved it!
7:21, You can see the Lock on his suitcase. Love that bit of foreshadowing.
lol I never noticed that. Very cool.
17:58 you can see another person reflected from the arcade glass
@@blackzero786 How come I'm just seeing that?!
In 18:34 you can see a palm on the dusty glass on the left appear
The effort put into this video is phenomenal
SpaceTaco 101 yea seriously. Pyrocinical did a stupidly amazing video on this too. A lot of people put a lot of effort into their polybius video.
If you wanna see a polybius video with a ton of effort look up polybius by achannel called ahoy its simple amazing

One of the many great things about this episode is getting to see the Nerd not start an episode already screaming in anger. I missed those days.
He's gradually left the "Angry" part behind which is disappointing because that's what made these episodes so great. For a bit he kept it up but I think he found it hard to be angry without manufacturing it too much. I think it also has something to do with the fact that he covered most of the games that frustrated him in his childhood where most of his pent up rage came from.
Very true. AVGN was often far calmer than you'd think.
You need to make a AVGN youtube poop.
Zal Animate Interesting idea...
he needs to review ride to hell retribution
This episode was very different, but still one of the best you've ever made! I love it!

Thanks. Nice to meet fans here :D. But no wonder: AVGN rocks!

Well, the high score at 17:30 is definitely a coded message on a Polybius square. The only thing that's confusing is it says "PLAV" instead of, perhaps, the intended "play."
In that case, it should have been 35311154.
Except arcade games usually didn't have scores that didn't end in zeros, so this is why this was the case.
whats your favourite game company?
"Nintendo"
"Sega"
"STD"
"Sinneslochen"
Who in their right mind would name their game company STD?!!

I'm ze mind behind Sinneslochen. I am tank
Not only one of the best AVGN episodes, but also one of the best found footage videos ever.
Especially if you watched it in real time, and followed the daily uploads. (yeah, I fear people might forget that's how the episode was originally released, which made it even more special)
How was it originally released?
@@hbstudios280 1 day at a time
I've got to admit it really would. This is one of James's most well shot and acted pieces and I adore it even if I hate jumpscares.
Gotta face the jumpscares like a man. "The brave face the blade" a saying that some people on the guillotine would face upwards to watch the blade fall towards them.
Yeah i heard about that. Such a shame I never got to ride that hype train, I heard it was the shit.
I feel like there needs to be an indie horror game based around this
AlphaOmegaSin Oh wow, hi! Happy to see you in the AVGN comments.
I love your videos :)
Yup, and it should star a female protagonist fighting for social polybius justice and- lol nevermind.
Also, I'm sad Lords of Thunder died. :(
AlphaOmegaSin this is as good as it is
I'd imagine it'd have a binding of issac-ish feel to it
I'm a huge fan of psychological horror, and James knows how to do it right. This video gave me chills.
it's a f*king masterpiece
And in an alternate universe. We start the episode saying that no one should ever play the shit game polybius and that we're going to go see gameplay of the legendary and rare dr.jekyl and mr hyde
After seeing someone do a pretty easy walkthrough of Jekyll and Hyde... I have to say, that game is nowhere as terribly hard as James made it out to be.
Been following you for over 10 years and never commented before, just wanted to say best episode so far, thanks man :)
Is it just me or is it odd that AVGN of all people is trusted with full access to an arcade reseller's stock despite what he does to games
Right! 😂 he'd probably end up burning down the warehouse

Thane Zollman hi chungus long time no see
That's what the warehouse owner was screaming about. Shit all over the cabinets.
Something small that I really love about this episode is how James is narrating the intro in a very unique way, as though he's playing a documenteer eager to learn more about Polybius than the Nerd himself.
Legit better than most modern found footage movies
AllIntensivePorpoises Yeah.
W H E R E I S T H E L I E T H O
I especially like the setting of this episode the fact that he's surrounded by video games and yet he can only play the one it gives a good creepy but awesome atmosphere
Right
This episode just shows how brilliant James is. He has a great mind for horror.
Eer ending with a junpscare was bad..
DELETE THIS
Out of all the psychological horror films that James has produced, this one takes the cake for being the most scary. It's followed very closely by both The Head Incident and The Head Returns.
This is evidence that horror movies with haunted videogames can be scary.
Who said they couldn’t?
Both video games and the Internet have tons of horror potential. Too bad almost nobody ever does anything with it.
This is evidence that James just LOVES the horror genre (not if there’s anything wrong with that)
If done right
too bad those stories are usually written by an 8th grader who thinks the term "hyper-realistic" is scary.
That arcade warehouse is heaven on earth.
*hell
it's TNT Amusements in Southampton, PA since the Nerd originates from that area.
I really admire how James has grown as a Film Director.
You can see that he understands the relationship between tension and release in movies, right in this video.
Amazing work as always!

This has got to be one of my favorite AVGN episodes
hes the creepy vide game nerd
I know, right? It's also the scariest. Like, this video is legitimately scary. James held nothing back with this one.
Not the classic amusing AVGN, he kinda lost that vein. But he wildly improved as a director, no doubt.
probably one of my least favorites but i see how people might like it.

The warehouse owner is my favorite because he was proudly giving about twelve percent effort.
I like how near the end he turns from AVGN to James
Paranerdal Activity
this 22 minute video is scarier than 10% of horror movies these days
Jonas King usually, this is when someone would provide examples....
diyagheith1 how
ok 65% seems more accrurate
Jonas King
Exactly.
Jonas King the only good one I watched recently was the witch
I’m not gonna lie, this was legitimately scary. Certainly better then some recent horror films.
A good horror film slowly builds up the creepiness and tension until it reaches critical mass insanity, despair and hopelessness. Constant jump scares only show that someone doesn't know how to write horror.
@@Jestrath How right can someome possibly be?
have you seen any recent horror films? its not hard to be better
I know right
that is brutally true
"It's about average"
"It's only average...maybe a little above"
"Giving it a second chance, going to say it's above average"
"This is the greatest game of all time!!!"
O.O
So, essentially, Polybius is a creepypasta that's an amalgamation of true stories that were twisted to fit the story. That's interesting.
That's just a description of how humans think though. Humans are incapable of original ideas; every possible thought, fantasy and daydream that can form in your head are based on things you have previously been exposed to.
This applies to every work of fiction, every piece of art and every product humanity has ever produced.
@L W Munger Yeah, I know one of the theories is that Polybius was used as a part of Project MKUltra.
This is when creepypastas were called "urban legends"
Shut it furry
@@nosoreel5556 Oh, look at you, big tough guy. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?
Such an incredibly amazing episode. I've known about Polybius for several years now and this was such a great tribute to it. I'm at a loss for words really, James puts together some of the most extraordinary work the internet has ever seen and he never fails to entertain and inspire.
James. Real talk buddy. Just make that horror movie already.
Yea but its probably the last avgn review
KARTIKEYA007 Doubtful. When he's done with the character, we'll know. Probably ahead of time. Hell, he's doing a collaboration with Nostalgia Critic next week.
Vectrex4Life Ayyyyy Vectrex!
I hope you watched ahoy's video on it then.
As a horror movie buff, James really understands the importance of a good shot.
Sean LaMontagne If you haven’t already, I’d recommend checking out Cinemassacre 200. Amazing video that highlights James’ past and creativity when it comes to filmmaking
This is like the X-files of video games.
This is better than most horror movies nowadays.

Watch Ahoy!'s take on polybius!
You guys should look up something called AlanTutorial, if you like this style of eerie build up.

I was kind of reluctant to keep watching once he said he had to show the game and warned that it will stick in your head. This was a very good episode.
Edit: The end scared me a bit, guys. :(
Very strange fact: by plugging "Dr.Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" into the Polybius square, the title oddly decodes into a most strange title; "Polybius 2: The Revenge"....
"Just one more game" what every gamer says even if it's not polybius
bullet bender relate much lol
I could relate to that when i was 5
Ummm are you a gamer of the early 2000’s?
Nowadays it’s “wait lemme just finish this”
I was about to like your comment but it has 666 likes and I don't want to ruin that

Can't believe it's been 13 years and James is still finding ways to push the formula, this kind of creative ingenuity is probably why he outlasted all of his copycats by years
yeah i like him because he plays with videos with the same mind we all did when we used to play with toys when we were nine years old. He is so brillant.

Are we just gonna ignore that warehouse has all the classic arcade machines like TMNT, the Simpsons, and NFL Blitz?

This is one of the Best you've ever made James. The insanity was brilliant, kept me pulled in the entire way!
Yo, its alexo
Alexo bro are you still making Cnp?
Did everyone else catch the handprint on the left arcade game monitor that suddenly appeared at 18:32? Pretty spooky, James lol.
The production effort here is amazing....
It bugged me that I couldn't see the game screen reflected in his glasses. Would have been a nice touch.
I was like, "Ha I saw that scare coming" Then I yelled when the second one came.
That's a real jumpscare a thinly veiled one closely followed by one that's actually unexpected.
Your comment help prepared me for the second one thx.
to me it was the complete opposite
Your profile made your comment funny
21:43 thanks alot James Now I’m gonna need new pants💩
My soul left my body when I saw that part.
Imagine if all the other videos after this took place before this video and this was the last AVGN episode
If he disappeared for a few month people would freak
Fitting way to go out. The angry video game nerd went mad from playing too many games.
long live avgn
BILL THORPE long live the king. No not that king. The king, avgn

Finally got to the bottom of the number sequence in the subtitles. "PINUS/SAVEME/PLAYPOLYBIUS/PLAY/SUBTITLEGAGSAREFORNERDS.
Took us way too long to figure that out.
Michael Syring lol reminds me of that Simpsons gag from one of the Treehouse of Horror episodes where Homer goes 3D.
Subtitle gags are for nerds. That's fucking great

Michael Syring hehe..pinus
Got to commend James's acting and directing. This isn't just jokes anymore, actually shows some great talent.
james combining AVGN with his love of horror. i like it.
after the Polybius incident, The Nerd was scarred for life and abandoned his love for video games..instead, he became interested in board games and changed his identity to Board James.. slowly his sanity continued to decline, and then one day he murdered his friends...
Nah he starting watching old movies and tv shows and became the Nostalgia Critic
TokyoBrando
James: THAT WAS THE PHONE!!!
Make sense
