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 […]
Spam email can be quite hilarious at times. Especially hilarious are spam emails which threaten you with some kind of horrible outcome if you don’t comply with the demands listed. Yep, extortion email! These, sadly, actually work in some cases, hence why they keep going. You can find a previous example of this in an […]
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 […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. It’s time for some father-son bonding in King of the Hill, and what better way to establish this than through the time honored tradition of scouting. In this case, we have Hank and Dale planning to take Bobby’s […]
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 It has been replaced by a new version.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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
As mentioned in the “What’s Coming For October 2019” article yesterday, I’m planning on a Monday through Friday schedule for posts this month, on a trial basis at least, to see how that affects things. There’s a few reasons for this, which I’ll go over here. Perhaps other bloggers may enjoy my insights and thought […]
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! […]
In past years I’ve written about working in retail during the holiday season, from the perspective of both an employee at big box retailers as well as one in a one-off game store. Honestly, I always want to write more about retail, but never seem to make time for it. Now, however, is as good […]
I feel like I write these kinds of entries far more often than I should, but then again I feel like there’s always something new coming up throwing a wrench into the works. I’ll keep this one brief — I’ve got a nice little list of topics I’ve wanted to cover recently (consider it the […]
