The great thing about working in a privately owned shop which has a long history of procuring and selling all kinds of surplus electronics (alongside the mainstay of video games and the like) is that, sometimes, you get to take home the most wild of things. I’ve previously mentioned a few 2007 iMac’s I got […]
Following the absolute epic that was Castlevaniathon, James decided to stick to something a little more straightforward for the next episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Still, he manages to pick one of the most odd games yet, in this case, Little Red Hood on the NES. This one is interesting. It’s an unlicensed […]
Almost 5 years ago I bought a used Xbox 360 from a local game store. It was an original model, made in 2008, and was sold half jokingly with me reminded it could die on me at any moment. The console has not died on me, and indeed still works a treat. It’s been given […]
I know, I’m a little late getting at this one (as I am with virtually everything) but I couldn’t let this one happen without sharing my thoughts on it. When the list was first brought to my attention the main focus many had was how there were no Sega games, for example, on it, and […]
And here we are, Halloween day, and part four of “Castlevaniathon!” What a perfect day to finish this series on! Things pick up right where they left off — with James blowing his character up in Castlevania 64, disappointed with what the game was. As James would put it, he was looking in the wrong […]
Another day, another video in the AVGN “Castlevaniathon” from 2009. In this video, James takes a look at Super Castlevania IV on the SNES followed by Castlevania on the Nintendo 64. James opens by setting the stage — it’s the early 90’s, and the NES era is drawing to a close, and a game has […]
Better slightly late, than never, I guess — it’s October 30th, and Microsoft finally released the video for the November 2019 Games with Gold lineup! Let’s dive in! Starting off on the Xbox One we have Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter and The Final Station. Okay, this looks kind of interesting at least. Sure, it’s […]
It’s time to continue our look at the Angry Video Game Nerd “Castlevaniathon” series from 2009, and this time The Nerd takes a look at two more games in the series – Castlevania II: Simons Quest and Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. We start off looking, again, at Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest. It’s funny, at the […]
Time for another Spam Showcase, this time a short one. Apparently, according to an email titled “Re: Congratulations” I’ve won what I can only guess is a large sum of money! Hooray, I no longer have to do the “used game store” rat race! Well, that’s what I would think if this wasn’t obviously a […]
It’s the week of Halloween, my favorite time of the year, and what better way to do the week here on Xadara than by covering not one, not two, not three, but a whole 4 AVGN Halloween episodes in a 4 day marathon! This is partially by coincidence, but just as much by plan — […]
Sometimes, with some projects, you bite off a bit more than you can chew. Over the past month I’ve found this to be true with my my attempt to cover every episode of the animated series King of the Hill. It’s one of those things I wanted to do because the idea sounded fun, and […]
Wayne’s World is an absolutely classic early 90’s film. While one of many films based on Saturday Night Live skits, it maintains a cult following to this day. Much like seemingly any movie, it was natural, if an odd choice, that video games based on the film would be made and in this episode The […]
As a kid growing up in the early 90’s I loved video games. That’s probably pretty obvious. By 1994, I was a heavily in the Sega Genesis scene, having gotten one for Christmas of 1993. It’s kind of surprising how late I was to get one, now that I think about it, but I don’t […]
If you were to ask anyone about Japanese monster movies, the firs thing that would probably come to their mind is the Godzilla franchise. As one might expect, James Rolfe is a Godzilla fan, and has been since his youth when he would on occasion see Godzilla films on TV. Later in life, he would […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. Meet Luanne Platter, the niece of Peggy Hill and, thanks to her mother and father getting into a very nasty fight, a resident of the Hill house. Quite the annoying resident as far as Hank is concerned — […]
