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 […]
I absolutely hate the time period before any new gaming gadget is released as it’s the time when the internet rumor mill is at its strongest and damn near everyone is chomping at the bit for information on stuff they won’t be able to buy for months. These people get so obsessed with information that […]
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 […]
Loyal readers may recall back on Amazon Prime Day I ordered a PlayStation Classic. After nearly a month it finally arrived and I just let it sit there and not get opened. That hasn’t changed at all. Yep. Over 5 months have passed, and I’ve still not bothered to even open it and mess with […]
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 […]
