I absolutely hate the time period before any new gaming gadget is released as it’s the time when the internet rumor mill is at its strongest and damn near everyone is chomping at the bit for information on stuff they won’t be able to buy for months. These people get so obsessed with information that […]
Time for the annoyance that is the shortest month of the year, February. Well, at least this this time around it’s a leap year, which means 29 days as opposed to 28, which means one extra day to make sure you get the later games in this months Games With Gold offerings. This time around, […]
Remember Vine, that annoying as hell 6 second video sharing service that was big in the early-mid 2010’s, that service that Twitter bought, kept around for a while then killed off in 2016? The one that spawned the “careers” of many an annoying and, in some cases, controversial to be internet celebrities (I’m looking at […]
It’s time for something a little different in the Angry Video Game Nerd series, at least, different from what we’ve had in the past year or so worth of episodes — in this one, James takes a look at Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Yep. A Zelda game that isn’t the CD-i ones. This […]
Loyal readers may recall back on Amazon Prime Day I ordered a PlayStation Classic. After nearly a month it finally arrived and I just let it sit there and not get opened. That hasn’t changed at all. Yep. Over 5 months have passed, and I’ve still not bothered to even open it and mess with […]
Moving on from the nightmare that is Action 52 the Angry Video Game Nerd takes a bit of a twist, in this episode covering “game glitches” in all their various forms. We start off with an intentionally glitched version of the opening. Once that crashes (literally) we get to the Nerd just trying to enjoy […]
I’ve been a “gamer” my entire life. For clarity, I define “gamer” as simply someone who enjoys video games. While one can refine and sub-divide that (what types of games someone likes, how often they play, to what extent they “care” about the subject) that’s not important here. What is is simply the idea of […]
Moving on from the end of the Action 52 review, we meet back with The Nerd as he prepares to play the final game on the cartridge – Cheetahmen. A game that in and of itself is as infamous as Action 52 on a whole, it was supposed to be a major franchise, in the […]
Time to start on Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd, and what a game James chose to look at for this episode — Action 52 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game is legendary among gamers for the same reason many games James has covered in the series are: it’s terrible. The difference […]
I really didn’t want to end today without having written something. I’ve been on a bit of a hot streak recently with posts here, but today work really demanded my all and since I’ve gotten home I’ve felt like nothing but trying to relax. Still, I want to keep the momentum of this hot streak […]
Next up on the absurd rumors surrounding the upcoming consoles from Microsoft and Sony, we have the price question on launch – a pretty big question for early adopters and, historically, a factor which can actually set the course for sales rates on a given system compared to another — people are likely to buy […]
Yesterday Sony decided to show at least something related to the upcoming PlayStation 5 console by showing us…. The logo for the console. Okay, that’s fine. We have an official logo to use in media. Great. Awesome. Time to move on with my day and oh, this is being talked about.. quite a bit… by […]
I know, I’m late to this one. I’ve been busy but didn’t want to let this one go by without saying my peace on the subject. A week and a half ago Mike Matei (of Cinemassacre fame) posted a tweet which became a pretty “hot take” for a while regarding the use of “rewind” features […]
This rumor has been circulation for quite a few months now, but it really got into gear this past weekend when an article was published on comicbook.com (yes, a comic book website… what they are doing covering games is beyond me) saying that, based on speculation from some guy called “HipHopGamer” (someone I’ve never heard […]
With the Christmas holiday behind us I thought I’d do something nice for the community at large, for what its worth, and share some simple tips on taking care of the console you, or a friend, may have gotten (new or used, it’s all the same here), all from the perspective of someone who’s been […]
