AVGN in The Awesomeverse

The Awesomeverse is a shared-universe of Internet Personals and Shows from Channel Awesome.

The Awesomeverse chronologically and technically began with the first episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd in 2004  and expanded with The Nostalgia Critic's 'Angry Video Game Nerd Rant' video.

After the initial rant video, the response from The Nerd himself and the launch of the site ThatGuywiththeGlasses , the Awesomeverse exploded and expanded when TGWTG expanded as more video producers were joining the site such as the Nostalgia Chick, Suede, Angry Joe and most significantly Linkara and Spoony and their respective shows, Atop the Fourth Wall and The Spoony Experiment, being one of the firsts in the Awesomeverse to include a story with their reviews and added elements and explanations for the Awesomeverse's logic and the existence of magic.

The Angry Video Game Nerd's role in the Awesomeverse, while not as big, is still significant. Being one of the first reviewers the Nostalgia Critic references in the early days of his show and the first crossover with a internet personal not apart of Channel Awesome.
