Yeah, we’re a month late on this one. Don’t quite know how that happened, but better late than never – this time around I have, straight from the Echidna’s mouth, the plans my friend “Prince Watercress” has for 2020. For those who don’t know who he is, I’ll give you a short primer: He’s been […]
Remember the early days of the Angry Video Game Nerd, when he was the Angry Nintendo Nerd? Well, this episode goes back to this days, with James taking a look back at some of his earlier videos. He opens parodying Lucas and how he changed the Star Wars films over the years. The comparisons are […]
Apparently there’s been a bit of drama surrounding the term “Metroidvania” recently. This has come mainly in the form of gaming journalism (you know, the hotbed of genius that is) saying that the term isn’t “accessible” to outsiders. or other crap related to how specific of a term it is in structure. I only even […]
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, […]
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 […]
Cloud Gaming (or, Game Streaming as some will call it) is marketed as a solution to commonly perceived shortcomings of both PC based and console based gaming — namely large install sizes and long download times for the games themselves and / or their updates, on top of the cost of the hardware in and […]
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 […]
Yesterday, January 14th 2020, marked the end of support date for Windows 7, and with that came the same cries of anger that came when Microsoft finally killed of Windows XP support back in 2014. All over the internet (especially Twitter) you can find people actually angry at Microsoft for ending support for the decade […]
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 […]
