Sometimes, with some projects, you bite off a bit more than you can chew. Over the past month I’ve found this to be true with my my attempt to cover every episode of the animated series King of the Hill. It’s one of those things I wanted to do because the idea sounded fun, and […]
Wayne’s World is an absolutely classic early 90’s film. While one of many films based on Saturday Night Live skits, it maintains a cult following to this day. Much like seemingly any movie, it was natural, if an odd choice, that video games based on the film would be made and in this episode The […]
As a kid growing up in the early 90’s I loved video games. That’s probably pretty obvious. By 1994, I was a heavily in the Sega Genesis scene, having gotten one for Christmas of 1993. It’s kind of surprising how late I was to get one, now that I think about it, but I don’t […]
If you were to ask anyone about Japanese monster movies, the firs thing that would probably come to their mind is the Godzilla franchise. As one might expect, James Rolfe is a Godzilla fan, and has been since his youth when he would on occasion see Godzilla films on TV. Later in life, he would […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. Meet Luanne Platter, the niece of Peggy Hill and, thanks to her mother and father getting into a very nasty fight, a resident of the Hill house. Quite the annoying resident as far as Hank is concerned — […]
Earlier today I published an article on a social media mishap which happened last week. The article went through quite a few permutations during creation, including a few name changes. I didn’t like the original title I had given the article and, after a few tweaks, had found something that fit what I was going […]
Columbus Day was October 14th this year. It’s a holiday that has quite the controversy surrounding it. While it’s modern form here in the states partially originates as an Italian-American heritage day, the timing and spirit of the day is still based on the historic event of Christopher Columbus “discovering” the “new world” for Europe. […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. Hank Hill loves a few things. His family, his truck, his lawnmower, his lawn, and his Guitar, Betsey, among many other things. As you can imagine, his frustration when he finds Bobby playing the instrument recklessly (with cheese, […]
After the insanity that was the Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle episode, it’s only fitting we go back to a more traditional Nerd episode, and for this one we take a look at Super Pitfall for the NES! The episode begins with an incredibly brief overview on the character Pitfall Harry — the guy you’re playing […]
Much like the previous “behind the scenes” for the Magnavox Odyssey episode, I’ve got a few “behind the scenes” clips for the Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle AVGN episode to share. First off we have one of those “the making of” segments which many people enjoy. This shows the process of creating the episode, as it […]
Last month marked 20 years since the release of the Sega Dreamcast console in the United States. The Dreamcast was the final game console released by Sega and while it started off with strong sales and a very solid game library, by March of 2001, just two and a half years after the consoles Japanese […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. Meet Peggy Hill. Mother of Bobby Hill, wife of Hank Hill, and Substitute Teacher of the year 1996. She’s, in a stereotypical sense, the glue which keeps the Hill family together, and this episode, “Square Peg,” focuses on […]
It’s been a while since we’ve taken a look at a Computer Chronicles episode, so tonight I thought it might be fun to take a look at this 1992 episode on Word Perfect. Word Perfect was a very popular piece of word processing software in the 90’s and early 90’s, only relenting dominance of the […]
Has it really been 75 episodes already? Man, I’ve been getting these reviews out at a pretty good pace! Anyway, this time we take a look at an Angry Video Game Nerd episode which had quite a bit of hype and promotion around it back in 2009 – Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle! Where the past […]
Ah, Copyright, something that most everyone in the internet age is at the very least aware of thanks to the ease of copying media in the digital age and the ubiquity of “issues” people have tended to have, primarily on YouTube, involving the concept. The strange thing is that for often the subject comes up […]
