In part 2 of this holiday wish list themed episode the Nerd spends more time covering an assortment of video games he has been often requested to review — a “wish list” as it were of reviews. We get right to the chase with this one, opening up with “A Boy and his Blob” for […]
It’s Time for the holiday 2013 episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd – a two part set of episodes based on the classic holiday idea of a “wish list.” Yes, in this pair of episodes the Nerd goes over quite a few games that many fans have been wishing he would talk about but, […]
It’s time for what has to be one of the most “meta” episodes of the series, as this time the Nerd takes a look at games based on himself! Yep, Angry Video Game Nerd games are the subject of episode 115. This was done primarily as a promotional effort for the then new (and recently […]
I know, I know – it’s the beginning of December, but the Halloween 2013 episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is what’s next in the queue, so it’s what we’re looking at today. The episode opens with a plug for Monster Madness, the annual Cinemassacre Halloween event which would have been underway when this […]
It’s the end of 2020. One more month to go, one more chance to make up for what was otherwise lost time this year. I’ll make this one quick, as it’s pretty much the same overall idea as last month – stay the course. That is to say, I’m just going to keep on writing […]
It’s time to scrape the bottom of the barrel. In this episode, the Nerd takes a look at games produced by Tiger Electronics. As is discussed in the episode, any kid who grew up in the late 80’s or early 90’s will certainly remember these things and just how terrible they were! Before the episode […]
December is almost upon us, which not only means we’re almost done with the year but we have one more set of games coming with Xbox Live Gold. The peanut gallery has weighed in with some strong dislikes on this video, but what do I have to say about the selection? Let’s find out. The […]
Here we have a far more normal AVGN episode – in this case, a look at the NES game Bill & Ted’s Excellent adventure. Amazingly, this episode is so straightforward there honestly isn’t too much to say about it. James of course addresses that it is based on the quite popular film but, like most […]
Here we have what has to be one of the weirdest Angry Video Game Nerd episodes, which is saying a lot given the history of this series. In this episode James takes a look at a variety of games based on the Toxic Avenger character or, more critically, the Toxic Crusaders cartoon based on the […]
I didn’t realize until the other day that I’ve been running a Bulletin Board System for the past 6 months! To be fair, this particular “version” of the board didn’t start until June 6th of 2020 – the previous few weeks the system was running on a Raspberry Pi as a “test” board, but in […]
Here we have what is, by far, my favorite episode of the entire series: Ikari Warriors! This is apparently a game James has had a problem with since he was a kid, and this is his chance to finally tear into it. He wastes no time either – beyond a few side comments early on […]
On November 22nd, 2005, the Xbox 360 launched to quite the celebration, both in the gaming scene and in the Mojave desert via an event known as “Zero Hour.” If you had told me then that 15 years later I’d be writing this article about the event, I’d have probably thought you were crazy. I […]
A couple of years ago I set out on a goal to have a more regular publishing schedule here on Xadara. The idea was Monday through Friday publishing which would result in around, if I posted an entry per day, a little over 20 entries a month. On the surface it was a fine idea […]
I generally try not to get too political here, but given that 2020 has been one hell of a year on virtually all fronts I figured now is as good a time as any to just kind of let loose with what I’ve been wanting to say on this subject. That is, the way the […]
If you’re a gamer you’ve no doubt heard that soon after the launch of the new Xbox Consoles, the Series X and the Series S, problems were reported primarily with the optical drive of the Series X but also, in at least one case I saw on twitter, the fan of the Series S. Naturally, […]
