In the last entry in this series I discussed how we determined that the European PlayStation 3 I had come into possession of actually did work — at least, it had no critical issues. Being a system made for the European market its power supply was a 220-240 volt only model — not a “universal” […]
I honestly don’t even know this this post will actually get published, let alone shared, as currently I’m unable to get the “new post” page on Xadara to load. Well, that is, unless I disable the Jetpack plugin — a very helpful tool (practically mandatory for any serious WordPress blogger) which helps with statistics collection, […]
In the first part of this story I explained just how I came to be in the possession of a European PlayStation 3, even though I’m smack dab in the middle of the United States. As a refresher, this unit was a launch model, capable of running PlayStation 2 software as well as the PlayStation […]
It’s time for Christmas in… February? What? Yeah, that’s just how the episode reviews panned out — we’re at another Holiday episode already and it’s mid-February. At least in Season 4 when we had Winter Games it was a bit more generic of an episode. This time around, as the title suggests, we get an […]
Over the past 2 weeks I’ve come into the possession of quite the atypical piece of gaming tech — a PAL format PlayStation 3 console. This is odd, of course, because I’m in the United States and we aren’t exactly in a location where a PAL system has any real use. Still, it came through […]
Here we have a much more traditional Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This time, James takes a look at an SNES game that I had never heard of up until this point called “Lester the Unlikely.” Picking the game “at random” the Nerd right off the bat doubts the game is going to be good […]
This isn’t exactly news that anyone is going to care about — it was something I’ve actually been wanting to do for a while, but simply hadn’t done due to the massive amount of procrastination I do on a daily basis — but I finally got rid of the Xadara Facebook page, to the dismay […]
In one of those funny moments where multiple hobbies of mine (in this case typewriters and old computers) cross paths I thought it would be fun to take a look back to a February 1st 1980 internal Apple Computer memo regarding the banning of typewriters (and any similar devices) from the company by January 1st, […]
Here we have what was 2010’s Halloween episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and also the second part of James revisiting some of his early review subjects — in this case, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the Nintendo Entertainment System. He opens by discussing that, to his horror, even though he warned everyone […]
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 […]
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, […]
Remember Vine, that annoying as hell 6 second video sharing service that was big in the early-mid 2010’s, that service that Twitter bought, kept around for a while then killed off in 2016? The one that spawned the “careers” of many an annoying and, in some cases, controversial to be internet celebrities (I’m looking at […]
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 […]
