I am not one to follow the rumor train – generally they are all just wild fantasies that someone gets wind of and spreads it like fact, when it’s clearly unlikely. Generally though, rumors of the end of production on hardware and software tend to be true more often than not. In this case, just […]
Ah, Doom. Arguably the FPS of the Halloween season, and certainly one of the most legendary games on the PC side of things. With a new release this past years, Doom, as a series, is still alive and strong. Let’s go back, however, to the early 90’s UK gaming scene: The IBM-PC computer architecture that […]
I go thrifting often, so often I should (and will soon) start a video series on it. Of course, I’m on the hunt for electronics, and I’ve found some amazing things – that Nintendo Wii that I modded with no issue, my original Xbox that has since been so heavily modded it’s barely anything like […]
Mark, of Classic Game Room, released yesterday another video acting as a “preview” for his patreon exclusive content and it was met, once again, with quite the backlash. His 2 minute preview videos that then ask people to donate on Patreon just aren’t cutting it, and people are calling him out on it. Something I […]
So, just as I expected, the Switch is not going to be able to play (at least physically) Wii, WiiU, or 3DS titles. This isn’t surprising, since the console uses a physical cartridge port, rather than an optical drive, for games. What I’m surprised at, although I still expected it, is how upset people are […]
When I wrote earlier about the announcement of the Switch, I said that it was “Exactly what I thought it was going to be.” I didn’t quite explain it well, which happens when I first get writing about something spur-of-the-moment. I thought I should explain myself better. We all knew the NX was going to […]
Okay, enough of me being excited that I guessed exactly what the Switch would be, let’s take an actual look at the promotional video Nintendo put out today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI So, what do we see here? Let’s break it down. The video starts off with a guy playing a Zelda game at home, on his […]
Today Nintendo finally made a proper announcement on the project previously known as Nintendo NX – It’s now known as Nintendo Switch. Not the best name, but not as bad as Wii and WiiU. Seriously Nintendo, hire a new naming person. Anyway, this comes after over a year of rumors, reported into leaks, and more. […]
October at Cinemassacre doesn’t just mean Monster Madness, but also the Halloween episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd series. This year, James has decided to cover the most frightening thing yet in gaming: Berenstain Bears games. Okay so that’s obviously a joke, but there are quite a few games based on this classic and […]
A perfect follow up to the last article would certainly be posting the entire interview between Digital Homicide and Jim Sterling. Digital Homicide, the ultimate producer of terrible games on Steam, and JIm Sterling, the ultimate critic of terrible games on Steam. A match made in hell, to be sure. This interview was recorded in […]
So on the subject of good old video games, I’ve been wanting to cover the more prominent subject on Steam recently of a company known as Digital Homicide. Oh, the drama and chaos they have caused, all because the duo that made up the production studio simply don’t know how to complete a game. Oh […]
YouTube is absolutely filled with video game reviewers of all types. The only way to be successful is to stand out above the rest, and one particular series, Classic Game Room, has done that successfully for almost a decade now. What started as an internet TV show way back at the turn of the millennium […]
Game Journalist Jim Sterling released a video in his Jimquisition series this week which discussed, quite critically, the current state of, and concept in general of virtual reality. I wrote earlier this year about some of my criticisms of the entire idea, and practical application of VR on a whole. To sum it up, because […]
Remember a few days ago when I shared the Angry Video Game Nerd episode on the Power Glove? Well, it was sort of a preview for this video: A full on, sponsored by Mattel, 40 minute video on the Power Glove! Oh man, this thing is a mess. While the video does show proper usage […]
As I mentioned earlier, it’s October, the time of super spooky things. Wanna know something scary for most Nintendo era gamers? The Power Glove. Produced by Mattel Electronics, The Power Glove was intended to provide a new way to play games on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Most people, however, or so memories would lead us […]
