[[WMG: The Nerd's life is just a series of Film/{{Inception}}s]]
The Nerd's friends knew he had problems with alcoholism and was wasting hundreds of dollars on buying copies of games he disliked, and didn't want him throwing away his life raging at games too hard for him. So they began arranging these dreams for him instead. Every night when the Nerd goes to sleep, the team stages the Inception. From there...
* The Guitar Guy, as a resident of the Nerd's house and the apparent owner of his couch, is the Architect. He created a universe and scenarios that set the Nerd going in the direction the team needs him to. He amplified his obsession with ToiletHumor and his love for Rolling Rock beer, selects the games, designed the basement setting, and even implanted Game Genie-like devices on his consoles, all in order to manipulate the Nerd's emotions during these dreams.
* Motherfucker Mike is the Chemist. He arranges the drugs used to put everyone under for the missions.
* Two other friends of the Nerd are the Forgers. They play all the side characters, including, but not limited to, [=Shitpickle=], Super Mecha Death Christ 2000 B.C. v4. 0 Beta, Spider-Man, Bugs Bunny, the Glitch Gremlin, Satan, R.O.B., and Fred Fuchs.
* The Inception is completed in the movie when the Nerd admits that ''VideoGame/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' for the Platform/Atari2600 isn't as bad as people make it out to be, and chooses to remember games for what they are instead of raging at them. However, the Nerd still had issues, so the team began doing further Inceptions in order to keep him on the right path.

Consider how he can own so many games, even the later systems which cost an atom bomb to buy. Then consider the stuff like a real katana (used to bisect a ''[[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles TMNT 3]]'' video cassette), a bow and arrow (which smites a Sega32x), and a bullwhip (seen in his ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' video and making a cameo in his ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' marathon). He's got a shitload of money, giving him leeway to get not only the games but also the implements of destruction needed to rid the world of copies of those horrors that don't belong in this world.

Also, one of the WMG entry suggests that the reason the Nerd always stays in his room playing shitty games is because he's in Purgatory, or Hell if you will.
