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 […]
Hello there. If you’re reading this, it means one of two things — you either saw this post on my site / shared somewhere on social media and decided to click it, or I intentionally shared it with you for a good reason — you seem to be hell bent on starting some kind of […]
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 […]
Hello there. If you’re reading this, it means one of two things — you either saw this post on my site / shared somewhere on social media and decided to click it, or I intentionally shared it with you for a good reason — you replied, in some way, to a post sharing one of […]
Back in early 2016 I wrote an article titled “Blocked for a Reason.” The article covered the subject of blocking people on social media – in simple form, the reason behind such (at least for me) and what it actually means when that event happens. I thought it would be good, since it’s been nearly […]
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 […]
Yesterday Sony decided to show at least something related to the upcoming PlayStation 5 console by showing us…. The logo for the console. Okay, that’s fine. We have an official logo to use in media. Great. Awesome. Time to move on with my day and oh, this is being talked about.. quite a bit… by […]
I know, I’m late to this one. I’ve been busy but didn’t want to let this one go by without saying my peace on the subject. A week and a half ago Mike Matei (of Cinemassacre fame) posted a tweet which became a pretty “hot take” for a while regarding the use of “rewind” features […]
This rumor has been circulation for quite a few months now, but it really got into gear this past weekend when an article was published on comicbook.com (yes, a comic book website… what they are doing covering games is beyond me) saying that, based on speculation from some guy called “HipHopGamer” (someone I’ve never heard […]
I’ve mentioned before about the massive backlog I have of articles to write, Many of them are so far gone from being important that they just aren’t worth it. Others are, at most, a week old and are still relevant enough. The internet, however, seems to want to run on its own time — a […]
It’s now the year 2020, and everyone, as they tend to be year after year, is celebrating the new year as some kind of chance for new beginnings as well as taking the time to look back over the past, and with this being a big round number everyone is also talking about how we’re […]
