Since finally getting much of my vintage computer collection back into a usable location I’ve somewhat run back into a kick of playing around with the old machines and watching / reading media related to them, their operating systems, what have you. It’s been a nice break from work, current events, and music related studies […]
Last week I made it a goal to cover all of AVGN Season 6 within a 5 day period. This was, by far, the shortest “season” of the Nerd, at only 5 episodes, and worked out perfectly to an episode each day. I completed this goal and pushed myself into what I consider the “Modern” […]
Last night Sony posted a blog entry showing off the new controller for the PlayStation 5. I covered that in the previous article, but at the end of that entry mentioned that the visual style of this controller may give us a clue as to what the PlayStation 5 console itself may actually look like. […]
Last night on the PlayStation blog Sony showed off an image of the controller for the PlayStation 5, properly identifying it as the “DualSense” Controller. What they showed isn’t a radical departure from the PlayStation 4 controller, but certainly still is different from the controller design PlayStation gamers have been used to for the past […]
Over the past year or so my “office” in one room of the house has become pretty much nothing but storage, and in the process my Macintosh systems as well as a few other Windows machines of varying vintages have been effectively inaccessible. Over the past week some work has been done on that room […]
It’s been a few weeks since I wrote about the inescapable fact of reality that is COVID-19. In those weeks, things have, obviously, gotten worse. Much worse. We went from having a few cases in my county to over 700, with 13 deaths. That’s just in the county — the state is now at nearly […]
It’s time for the 2011 Holiday episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and in this case we have the third and, so far, final installment of “Bible Games” — games produced with Christian themes targeted towards religious audiences, with virtually all of them, by the nature of their subject matter, being (ironically) unlicensed by […]
Here we have the 2011 Halloween AVGN episode – Dark Castle for the Sega Genesis. The Nerd introduces the episode pondering on why the NES had so many terrible games for it, and decides to give the big, bad 16 bit Sega Genesis a go as a change of pace, and the game of choice […]
Here we have a very special Angry Video Game Nerd episode. Not only is does this one cover an incredibly important game in Nintendo history, the Nintendo World Championships competition cartridge, but it also features a crossover between both James Rolfe as the Nerd and Pat Contri as Pat the NES Punk. During this time […]
Recently Sony finally got off its butt and actually announced some information about the PlayStation 5, including system specifications and details on its backwards compatibility or, more correctly, its lack thereof, but still left quite a bit to the internet rumor mill. I thought it would be nice to cut through the lies and attention-seeking […]
We’re in quite a unique time in history, what with the whole Coronavirus situation and how that’s affecting life for most everyone on Earth in some way. That being said, most people are trying to, in one way or another, keep things pretty normal in their lives during this, and that’s no exception here on […]
Next up in season 6 of The Angry Video Game Nerd we have a much more traditional episode than the previous one — this time an 8 minute look at the NES game “Kid Kool.” Of note is right at the opening we have the “new” Nerd intro for widescreen episodes, where 2 separate panes […]
Welcome to Season 6 of The Angry Video Game Nerd. At this time James was still getting production of the movie underway, and this time period, the late half of 2011, would mark a final spurt of Nerd episodes before a 6 month break as filming of The Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie would […]
Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd was a bit of a departure from the previous few years of the show. This season had far fewer episodes than previous ones, as James began to focus his efforts on other projects including the beginning of production in earnest of The Angry Video Game Nerd: The […]
It amazes me, weeks into what has quickly become a global pandemic and, in my eyes, a defining event in all our lives (more so than even September 11th, 2001) that there are people out there trying to live their lives like nothing is happening — as if this isn’t something to be concerned about. […]
