Recently Sony finally got off its butt and actually announced some information about the PlayStation 5, including system specifications and details on its backwards compatibility or, more correctly, its lack thereof, but still left quite a bit to the internet rumor mill. I thought it would be nice to cut through the lies and attention-seeking […]
Next up in season 6 of The Angry Video Game Nerd we have a much more traditional episode than the previous one — this time an 8 minute look at the NES game “Kid Kool.” Of note is right at the opening we have the “new” Nerd intro for widescreen episodes, where 2 separate panes […]
It’s time again to take a look at the upcoming months Games with Gold lineup, but things are a bit different this time around. Thanks to the current Coronavirus issue, there appears to be no video for the April games with Gold assortment. Yep, no video to accompany things, just an image from the Xbox […]
Welcome to Season 6 of The Angry Video Game Nerd. At this time James was still getting production of the movie underway, and this time period, the late half of 2011, would mark a final spurt of Nerd episodes before a 6 month break as filming of The Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie would […]
Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd was a bit of a departure from the previous few years of the show. This season had far fewer episodes than previous ones, as James began to focus his efforts on other projects including the beginning of production in earnest of The Angry Video Game Nerd: The […]
With many people being forced to stay home during this pandemic the overall infrastructure of the internet is being somewhat taxed by far more people than normal using it for video watching, gaming, teleconferencing, what have you, at any given time. While the overall infrastructure seems like it can handle the overall load the fact […]
The vilification of gaming in the media is never ending, and even now, during the Coronavirus Pandemic and the often mandatory quarantines being enacted around the world, news outlets out there are still trying to find ways to attack gamers and their hobby as the source of some kind of problem — in this case, […]
You know, I always find myself at a crossroads with what to write about. This site is, as I’ve said numerous times, about whatever I want it to be at a given moment; whatever has caught my attention and interest, or what I’m focusing on at that time. This has, of course, resulted in quite […]
Yes, I’m going to take this opportunity to gloat. After months of people constantly throwing out a rumor that the PlayStation 5 would “play every PlayStation game ever” Sony announced today, among other things about the system, that it would not be backwards compatible with anything but, apparently, the “top 100 PlayStation 4 games” and […]
In the last entry I wrapped up the testing of the system following its modding and found everything was in good shape – the project was, as far as I’m concerned, a complete success, and I had a European PlayStation 3 with a US power supply, modded to be able to play any game I’d […]
Here we go: Episode 101 of the Angry Video Game Nerd, and the end of Season 5! This time the Nerd is taking a look at a bunch of games based on films by the acclaimed director Steven Spielberg. Of course, since we’re talking about games based on the NES (for the most part) based […]
I’ve recently finally really taken time to enjoy just sitting back and playing games again; I worked my way through Halo: Reach again recently and right now have been finally working through Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. During the past week or so of playing it I’ve made the occasional post on twitter about […]
Over a year and a half ago in September of 2018, following the announcement of the PlayStation classic I wrote an entry on the then-hot subject of it not coming with any kind of power supply — you were expected to provide your own USB power supply, rated at 1 Amp. I felt this wasn’t […]
Well, here we are. Episode 100 of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it this far with these reviews — I figured I’d get maybe 10 or 20 in and then get tired of it. Nope. That’s not the case, and today we’re taking a look back to the (then) […]
It’s funny, I had actually forgotten we were coming to the end of the month, so I was surprised to see the March Games with Gold lineup show in my YouTube subscriptions feed. That’s all good though, the video is here meaning it’s time to talk about the free games coming next month. Let’s get […]
