The Nerd starts off, gushing over how awesome the Mega Man games were, going into how each one made the series better, although they were getting stale. He then starts to gush over Mega Man X, which revitalized the franchise with a new trilogy of games that he loves, although he is a bit irked by the amount of dialogue present in X3. He is annoyed by it in X4, but he excuses this because it was an early Playstation 1 game and the storyline was bigger than the first three games. By the time of X5, the Nerd ended up hating the game due to the dialogue now obstructing the game play, and how slower paced the game is. After seeing just how far the X series has fallen, the Nerd figures that he has played too many shitty games, and decided to quit once again. He trashes away some games and undoes his shirt as he walks off in the sunset.
Somehow, the Nerd got transported back in time, to the year 2007 where he was just finished reviewing Independence Day for the PS1. Past Nerd throws the disc away, only to smack the Future Nerd in the face with it. As the two of them come to terms with their existence, Future Nerd tries to talk his past self into quitting his career, and even finds Mega Man on DOS and convinces him to play this game just to show how bad that series gets. As the two of them play on a PC, they both find the game to be really lacking in comparison to the NES games, with the really poor level design, uninspired enemies, and clunky controls, the latter of which is not helped by the poor gamepad support, forcing the Nerds to use the keyboard. They also played Mega Man 3 on DOS (there was no Mega Man 2 for DOS), which does properly support a gamepad, and has twice as many levels, but it suffers from the same problems, with the addition to being very confusing to navigate. After that, Future Nerd tells his past self to review the Simpsons games on NES if he doesn't believe him before disappearing.
Further back in the year 2006, the Nerd makes a dynamic entrance to the four Nerds (actually one Nerd having a dream) who were just playing Nightmare on Elm Street for NES. The Future Nerd attempts to convince all of them to stop their career, and even offers to review Mega Man Legends for the Playstation.* All of them play this game to find that the dialogue boxes are a problem once more, finding themselves being interrupted by the in-game characters almost every step of the way, and even notice similarities between this game and Legend of Zelda. They also do not like the control scheme, finding the tank-like control to be a hindrance, even with the N64 version. Otherwise, they do say that this is more of an alternative take on Mega Man, and in that sense, it isn't really bad as some people may actually enjoy it. The rest of the review are all the Nerds commenting on the fact that Mega Man is out shopping at a shopping center (even finding a particular sort of magazines). After that, Future Nerd orders one of the Nerd clones to take the Nightmare on Elmstreet cart and evacuate their bowels all over it... only to had already done so in his pants, which somehow got the Nerd to go back further in time, just before the episode starts to finish proper.
The Nerd goes back further to the year 2004, to the very second episode he had ever done. Just as this Past Nerd just finished up ranting about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Future Nerd makes another attempt to dissuade his past self from starting a show, only to notice Mega Man X7 for the Playstation 2, which happened to be released around the same time as when Past Nerd ranted about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The both of them decide to play the game. The Nerds find it to lack the challenge that the previous games possessed with the inclusion of the auto-targeting system for Axl, regardless of the level playing in a 2D or 3D phase. The camera is sometimes uncooperative, leading to many hits the Nerds couldn't see coming. Their breaking point was when they played one level which is an invisible maze, complete with sections that place their character upside down and reverses the controls, much to their frustration.
Afterward, Past Nerd made a comment about how in Future Nerd's time, they must had made it to X20 by now, but when he was reassured that the franchise was put on hold, he begins to talk about why that is a good thing, being that you cannot rush out a new installment just to meet consumer demand or it wouldn't be very good. This left in a revelation in Future Nerd, who then asks what would his past self do if he had a show. The kind of question did puzzle him somewhat, but he responded by saying that he would love to have such a thing if people wanted it, and while he can't keep it going forever, it's always good to bring it back now and then. Future Nerd decides to depart on good terms, while the Past Nerd reviews his then-very short NES collection, which gives him some ideas.
Future Nerd returns back to his time in 2016, only to find Bugs Bunny taking over the angry nerd duty, and even peacefully inform him that he doesn't have to come back to it. The Nerd responded with violence, beating up Bugs Bunny, taking back his title as the Angry Video Game Nerd, and goes straight into reviewing another bad video game. Once he finds out that it's Mega Man Soccer, and he plays just a little bit of it, he ends up screaming and flying out of his basement.
