NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. It’s time to begin taking a look at the wonderful television series that was King of the Hill, and of course we will start at the beginning – Season 1, Episode 1, known only as “Pilot.” The episode […]
Ah, here we have one of the best episodes of “The Angry Video Game Nerd;” Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties. The game in question is, as I can best class it, a “storytelling” game for the short lived 3DO platform, an early CD-ROM based 32-bit system, with all the quirks and nuances you would expect of […]
Oh boy, another one of these “what’s coming” posts where I talk about all the stuff I want to do, but never get done, around here. This months article will be no different, so let’s cut to the chase. Last month I decided to just “go with the flow” and while that was quite relaxing, […]
Wow, Microsoft actually got this one out somewhat early this month! Impressive. What may or may not be impressive, however, is the selection of games given to us Xbox Live Gold members this October. That’s why I do this each month — to share my opinion on what’s being offered! Righto, let’s get into it! […]
It’s time for a trip into “Edutainment” territory here with some Mario games which I’m quite certain disappointed every single kid in the early 90’s – Mario is Missing and Mario’s Time Machine. Oh how I remember these games. It was fitting by this time in the series James would cover these atrocities to the […]
In this Angry Video Game Nerd episode James takes a look at a couple of games in the Transformers franchise, one for the Commodore 64 and one for the Nintendo Famicom. Opening up, the Nerd poses the question of what format you usually play games on. For the most part, in the case of the […]
Fall begins here in the Northern Hemisphere on September 23rd. When you think of fall, you think of cool winds coming from the north, leaves falling off trees, Halloween and maybe Thanksgiving, jackets, and not having to run the AC all damn day. At least, that’s the way television and such have portrayed it for […]
It took quite a few hours of downloading, image selecting, editing, uploading, and article refinement to make it happen, but it’s actually complete — every single Angry Video Game Nerd episode review here on Xadara has at least one image associated with it! I’d estimate it took about 5 hours of solid work to make […]
A couple of weeks ago I made a decision to take a break from Facebook and just see what would happen. I’ve been a user of the social media site since about 2009 and for as useful as it’s been it’s also been quite an annoyance in my digital life — more so in recent […]
Naturally, you can’t have a review of games based on the film The Terminator without covering games made based on its sequel – “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”, and James wasted no time after the previous episode releasing this one to cover games based in the amazing 1992 sequel to the 1984 classic. The episode opens […]
The Terminator franchise, at least, at the time of the early 90’s, was pretty amazing. With “The Terminator” in 1984 and “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” in 1992, the struggle for humanities survival from an apocalypse of its own creation was well established in popular consciousness and with the rise in popularity of game consoles, it […]
I really don’t much like YouTube anymore. I haven’t for years now, but it, like Google, is one of those necessary evils in the digital life of most everyone. I’ll fully admit it’s where a majority of the video content I watch originates, but that’s simply because everyone puts their content there, and I watch […]
When I said at the beginning of the month that September was going to be a “when I feel like it” month for publishing content, I wasn’t kidding — I’ve written almost nothing the past week and a half, but for good reason. As mentioned in a previous update, I’ve been taking a break from […]
Last month a began a process to update all of my previous Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to have images from the episode being reviewed. This was something I neglected when starting the project and in retrospect wish I had done from the beginning. In any case, the last batch of episodes I did […]
At the end of every month I like to set up a “goals list” for the next month on this website in the form of these “What’s coming” articles. Each month I make some progress but never really “complete” these goals. This month is going to be different, as I’m not going to set any […]
