Back on Saturday, I found out that Winamp, an ages old but incredibly beloved media player very popular in the late 90’s and through the 2000’s, had a new version release. Normally this wouldn’t be anything major – for comparison, Spotify seems to want to update every damned day – but this was something else. […]
Here we have quite the interesting little bit of space history – the pilot of a series which was intended to follow every Apollo mission, but was cut short due to the perception of a “conflict of interests” between sponsors of the program itself and the television studio behinc it, KCET out of Los Angeles. […]
After well over an hour of being down effectively globally, YouTube is back up and running as… er, well… as ever. While I’ve not yet seen any info on what the cause of the issue was, it does look like it was resolved, so we can all go back to watching whatever absurd junk we […]
It’s not every day that one of the top visited websites in the world seems to go down for most everyone, but when it does, it’s kind of incredible. In this case, as I type these words it’s 8:30 in the evening central time and YouTube has decided to go down. Well, not completely, you […]
It’s that time yet again – Octobers Games with Gold releases have been announced, and it’s… exactly what you would expect, honestly. Let’s get into it. First off on the Xbox One we have “Overcooked!” and “Victor Vran.” Oh boy. Overcooked. One of those games, take an idea like cooking, make a party game out […]
This Entry Has Been Superseded By This Article: A Final Commentary On The Whole PlayStation Classic Power Supply Mess When the PlayStation Classic was announced earlier in the week the reception was mixed, with most of the commentary following the same lines as Nintendo’s retro-console entries. There was one complaint that was rather specific to […]
Well, at least they tried… No, I don’t know offhand what this is about – it looks to be someone promoting Macintosh systems (against Windows 95 based PC’s) but beyond that, I don’t have a clue right now. I’ll look into it more in the future. Also, this may become a regular thing – […]
Moving on from the explosive end of the previous episode, we have part 2 of Double Vision. Just as part 1 covered the Intellivision, part 2 covers the Colecovision, a mighty system in its own right. Released in 1982, the Colecovision came a few years after the Intellivision, and well into the life of the […]
This is the point where, from a historical perspective the Angry Video Game Nerd start to really get interesting – the “Double Vision” episodes. For those previous years, the character and the series were generally focused on games from the Nintendo Entertainment System, with some branching out Sega Genesis and Super NES topics with only […]
As I mentioned sometime last week, I’ve been playing Titanfall 2 quite a bit the past month or so, really getting into the grit of the online multiplayer scene. Coming in 2 years late I’ve naturally had a rough start, but I’ve gotten into a groove with the game, refined my play style, figured out […]
One of the older articles I’ve written here that tends to get steady traffic is the April 2017 article I wrote on the release of the Documentary for the Psycho Series by YouTube user McJuggernuggets. This (and a review article which, oddly, never seems to get hits – go figure) happened to include links to […]
The Wizard Of Oz episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is one I consider somewhat pivotal at the very least in my personal experience with the series, as this is actually the first episode of AVGN which I saw when it was new. I recall a friend and his brother watching it in early […]
It’s funny, for a blog with a moderate focus on gaming I don’t actually write about my own time playing games all that often. That’s quite probably due to the fact that I rarely actually spend that much time actually playing games – sometimes taking breaks spanning multiple months between times when I’ll seriously fire […]
Here we have the finale of Jim Browning’s “Bank Login Scam” video series. In part one he showed from his end one of these scams in action and was successfully able to bait the scammer into installing a remote access tool into their computer giving Jim access to the scammer’s machine. In part two, Jim […]
Now we get to the meat of Jim Browning’s Bank Login Scam video series. In this part, we get to see behind the scenes what is actually going on with the scammers computers, and how this all works. If you haven’t seen and read about Part One, check it out here! In part one, Jim, […]
