I thought some of you out there might find it a little funny, after waiting nearly a month for the thing to come in, and having it in my possession for over a week and a half, I still haven’t even opened the dang thing! There’s a few reasons. For one, I’ve just been preoccupied […]
The time frame before the release of a new game console is an interesting one. Thanks to the nature of things, companies tend to hold off on announcing many details of their products too early. There are various reasons for this — building up fan base hype (something I rather dislike,) to avoid letting competition […]
The other night, after publishing my review of episode 67, I finally began the task of adding images to my previous episode reviews. I wanted to “liven up” the reviews since I had never put in episode images before — I thought it wouldn’t be necessary, and I didn’t want to waste space in the […]
Ah, Metal Gear. Quite the well loved series these days, it had a rocky start in the West, not really gaining popularity until the PlayStation and Metal Gear: Solid, in 1998. Metal Gear has quite the interesting history, having started in the MSX computer platform in Japan. The NES “port” of the original game (if […]
Remember back on Amazon Prime day back in the middle of July? Remember how they had the PlayStation Classic going for 20 bucks? Well, I ordered one, as mentioned in this previous article, and it only just the other day came to me. Amazing had over-sold units by quite a bit, it would seem, and […]
The 90’s was an interesting time for animation. After a few decades of what amounted to “cartoons are just for kids” thinking, things had begun to change. On one hand, Nickelodeon introduced their Nicktoons line, animation made for the kids that adults could watch and enjoy with them — made for entertainments sake. On the […]
You know, I never expected the Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to get as far as they did — I’m in Season 4 and am incredibly optimistic on where this is going, as it’s gone from being just a fun little side project to something to really enjoy! In retrospect, however, I didn’t plan […]
Moving right along from where the previous episode left off, we find the Nerd playing a selection of Atari Jaguar games. This gives us a good look at what the system had to offer over the course of its life. The Nerd begins by taking a look at what are probably the best games for […]
It’s time to begin taking a look at what I consider the best season of The Angry Video Game Nerd (Season 4) and what a better way to start off than a history episode! No, I’m not being sarcastic, I actually rather like the episodes where the Nerd talks about the back story of some […]
Sometimes, in the life of a web site, you need to start fresh. The thing is, you can’t just delete everything and truly start like new. Well, you can, but that isn’t exactly the best course of action since it would greatly hurt ranking in search engines and already existing back links to content. That’s […]
Welcome to August, one of the hottest months of the year in my area and probably the greatest month of the year where I’d rather stay inside and game than go out and do much of anything. Of course a new month means a new set of games from Games With Gold, and this month […]
It took a while, but we made it through Season 3 of The Angry Video Game Nerd! That only took about 11 months, but it’s done, and quite a ride it was! This was the point where I’d say the series really began to reach its peak. It was during this time James moved into […]
We’re at the final episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd Season 3 and to finish things off we’re looking at… Milon’s Secret Castle. Really? Milon’s Secret Castle? This is a strange one and a game that I would think, up until this episode was made back in 2009, not many people had even heard […]
No, really, I *may* have ordered one, as I’m not sure if the order will actually be processed! As a part of Amazon Prime day I decided to go ahead and get a PlayStation Classic – they were only $20, and for that I’d buy one as an emulation box, at the very least, if […]
Time for another Angry Video Game Nerd episode review, and this time we have The Nerd’s review of Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis! This episode was filmed just a few months before Michael Jackson’s death and as such speaks of him in the present-tense when opening the video, contrasting how many forget that a man […]
