Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 62: Bible Games II – Episode Review

It’s Christmas in July! Okay, not really, this is just how the scheduling (if you can call it that) for these episode reviews worked out, so today we’re taking a look at the second “Bible Games” Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This one is a bit of an interesting one — it was the first […]

HBO’s Chernobyl And Possible Plagiarism – A Deep Look

Yesterday I wrote about an email I had received regarding an article I had written well over a year ago about the Chernobyl Disaster. More specifically, the article shared a video I had found which had a visual effect of Ukrainian text for what was spoken in actual recordings of calls made to fire dispatch […]

Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch, An Email From Ukraine, And HBO’s Chernobyl – A Strange Story

Back in April of 2018 I wrote a short article for the 32nd Anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster titled “The Chernobyl Disaster – Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch.” It was a simple article where I shared a video I had found by the same title which had audio recordings of calls made to firefighting […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 61: CD-i Part III – Zelda’s Adventure – Episode Review

Alright, we’re at the end of the Angry Video Game Nerd Phillips CD-i Trilogy! What a terrible show it’s been so far. I mean, the CD-i and the games presented, not the Nerd, he’s great here! Honestly these are some pretty good “golden age” Nerd episodes, and this one is a great ending to the […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 60: CD-i Part II – Zelda: Wand of Gamelon – Episode Review

Here we go, it’s finally time for the Zelda CD-i games. Oh man, I can only imagine how hyped the fans of the Angry Video Game Nerd were to see these episodes. The video clips from the games were legendary in the early days of YouTube (being often used in many comedy video edits) and […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 59: CD-i Part I – Hotel Mario – Episode Review

It’s time for the Phillips CD-i episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Not one, not two, but three episodes were devoted to this console and some of its games. Namely, the ones featuring Nintendo properties. For a very, very brief back story, the CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive) hardware was the end result of Phillips […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 58: Frankenstein – Episode Review

Moving directly on from the previous episode on Dracula games, we have James covering games based on the Frankenstein story, with a nice little twist thrown in for his classic Halloween theatrics. James is playing the Nerd as Dr. Frankenstein (or, well, Dr. Franken-Nerd, I guess, to be accurate to the story) who creates a […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 57: Dracula – Episode Review

Is it Halloween already? No, not really. Not at all — it’s still June right now, but this is where we are in the Angry Video Game Nerd series and as such today we’ll be looking at an episode focusing on games based on the Dracula story. The Nerd isn’t doing the most obvious ones […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 56: Dick Tracey – Episode Review

Ah Dick Tracey. That name takes me back to the early 90’s quite well. As this episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd explains in its opening, Dick Tracey was a major motion picture release in 1990, based off of a somewhat obscure comic strip from the 30’s. While there had been other media based […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 55: Battletoads – Episode Review

Moving on from the relative disaster that is the Deadly Towers review, we get to an Angry Video Game Nerd episode that’s much better – Battletoads. Battletoads, developed by Rare (the same people who would later create titles like Donkey Kong Country and Goldeneye 007) released this rather well loved game in 1991. It blended […]
