Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 64: Milon’s Secret Castle – Episode Review

We’re at the final episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd Season 3 and to finish things off we’re looking at… Milon’s Secret Castle. Really? Milon’s Secret Castle? This is a strange one and a game that I would think, up until this episode was made back in 2009, not many people had even heard […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 63: Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker – Episode Review

Time for another Angry Video Game Nerd episode review, and this time we have The Nerd’s review of Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis! This episode was filmed just a few months before Michael Jackson’s death and as such speaks of him in the present-tense when opening the video, contrasting how many forget that a man […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 62: Bible Games II – Episode Review

It’s Christmas in July! Okay, not really, this is just how the scheduling (if you can call it that) for these episode reviews worked out, so today we’re taking a look at the second “Bible Games” Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This one is a bit of an interesting one — it was the first […]

HBO’s Chernobyl And Possible Plagiarism – A Deep Look

Yesterday I wrote about an email I had received regarding an article I had written well over a year ago about the Chernobyl Disaster.

Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch, An Email From Ukraine, And HBO’s Chernobyl – A Strange Story

Back in April of 2018 I wrote a short article for the 32nd Anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster titled “The Chernobyl Disaster – Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch.” It was a simple article where I shared a video I had found by the same title which had audio recordings of calls made to firefighting […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 59: CD-i Part I – Hotel Mario – Episode Review

It’s time for the Phillips CD-i episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Not one, not two, but three episodes were devoted to this console and some of its games. Namely, the ones featuring Nintendo properties. For a very, very brief back story, the CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive) hardware was the end result of Phillips […]

Happy 4th Of July 2019! (With More Bonus Rocket Launches!)

It’s the 4th of July and, in what’s becoming a tradition here, instead of typical fireworks I like to celebrate online with something with a little more power behind it – rockets. Old launches, more recent ones, it doesn’t matter to me, I just enjoy seeing these machines do their thing. These aren’t all going […]

Reddit And Computer Elitism (Or, How Not To Actually Answer A Question) – Part 2

Yesterday I told the story of what happened on Reddit when my friend Prince Watercress decided to ask a relatively simple tech support question in the Windows 10 subreddit. To put the relatively long story short, while one person provided actual advice (from their own experience) which didn’t solve the problem but was still helpful, […]
