It’s bloody hot. Too hot to go out and do anything, so why not stay inside and game? Okay, that was an introduction to this entry, but seriously, it is hot out there – August is here and with the new month are new Games with Gold and, amazingly, I’m actually getting to covering them […]
Damnit, I was late on this one again. I’ve been busy, though, and let time kind of run away with me. Well, at least I’m getting to them before the middle of the month. Right, let’s get down to it: We open up with Planet Alpha and rock of Ages 3: Make & Break for […]
Given the past year has been one of me heavily neglecting this site (give or take, anyway,) I thought it might be good to do, for those interested. an update entry every major project I’m working on, so, if you’ve been wondering, well, here’s your answer. Right, no more fluff, let’s get right to it: […]
I’ve been neglecting this site for far too long. I know, I know, I’ve written probably a dozen entries this past year on just this subject, but it’s really starting to get to me that I go nearly a month between posts now, when I used to do near daily entries about something which caught […]
Yesterday was May 4th. Star Wars day to many. While I consider myself certainly a fan of the franchise, I honestly find May 4th a bit annoying. The date doesn’t actually have anything to do with Star Wars or George Lucas — it’s not the latters’ birthday or the release date of any film in […]
As is obvious to anyone visiting this site I’ve been quite distant from it, and quite a bit of social media, over the past few months. This has been a way for me to clear my mind, or at least, an attempt to. I’ve been focusing heavily on other projects and shying away from the […]
It’s been a while since we looked at an AVGN episode, so why not jump back into the craziness with the next episode, Hong Kong 97?! This is one of those fan request type episodes, but a good one given Hong Kong 97 was, at the time at least, one of the more mysterious games […]
Ah, February has proven to be as dead a month here as January was. This isn’t for lack of desire, simply lack of time: I’ve simply been too busy with work and various other projects to actually write new entries. It hasn’t been a waste, however – I’ve made quite a bit of progress on […]
Last week I was planning to ease into the year with some “lighter” subject matter, ranging between some tech projects I’ve been working on to things a bit more serious but still nothing too extreme — some light social commentary. Then Wednesday happened – the Capitol “Siege” that has somehow been the most hilarious yet […]
Every year I like to share the thoughts of my partner in crime, Prince Watercress, regarding the previous year and the upcoming one. His ceaseless stream of Let’s Plays and wrestling recaps are nothing short of incredible in their sheer volume and detail, and he’s really carved out a niche for himself – he handles […]
It goes without saying that 2020 proved to be one hell of a year. While for me it actually wasn’t all that bad, beyond a major spot in the early portion of Spring, it was still a rough one between work, personal life, and my online existence. Still, it was also a year of growth […]
Would you believe I didn’t even find out about the event until nearly 12 hours after it happened? Yeah, I had apparently stayed off social media so well on Christmas day that it wasn’t until near 5PM that I learned anything had even occurred in my states capital! So, we know the deal – early […]
It’s the 12th and final day of Shitsmas and, as hinted at in the previous video the final gift the Nerd opens is a product by LJN. This time it isn’t just a game, but an entire game system! Well, not quite — it’s more of an early computer graphics device. Of course, it’s bad. […]
It’s the 11th day of Shitsmas. We’re almost done with game after horrible game, but not before we hit the final two, and today we have a pretty big one to contend with – Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure for the GameCube. Now, this seems like an awesome idea — a video game where you […]
For the 10th day of Shitsmas the Nerd opens not just a single game, but an entire freaking game system! Yep, for this one he gets a bit more than he hoped for with the Hyperscan game console released in 2006. Yes, James was already well into the AVGN series when this console was released […]
