Here we have another one of those more odd episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd where instead of focusing on one particular game, he spends time discussing a whole category of games which follow a similar theme – in this case, sports games on the Atari 2600! While certainly not mine, or the Nerds […]
Well well, it’s October and with perfect timing the next AVGN episode on the review list is the Halloween episode for 2012 – Ghosts n’ Goblins! That’s right, in this episode James takes on not just one of the more difficult games in the NES library, but a game that has haunted him since his […]
Late last year I attempted to begin a series where I reviewed all 259 episodes of the animated comedy series King of the Hill. The show is one I absolutely loved during its run from 1997 to 2009/2010 and in syndication during and after this time span. As a bit of a tribute to it […]
I thought I’d take a bit before we get into Season 3 of Angry Video Game Nerd episodes to express just why I’m reviewing all of these episodes, as well as touch on a few other points on James and the Nerd series that are worth me saying here. The very short answer to the […]
We have another odd Nerd episode here – one discussing the timeline for “The Legend of Zelda” game series, at least as it was in 2006. This comes off the previous “Movie and Video Game sequels” video, but was shelved, only to be tweaked a bit and released in January 2008, making it out of […]
Over the past year I took some time to cover every episode of the 1983 Canadian TV series “Bits and Bytes.” This was a television program designed to give its viewers some insight into the then-new home computer scene, covering basic principles of computing, showing some things you can do with various computers of the […]
Time for another episode in the same style as Spider-Man or the 2006 Halloween episodes – this one is another one split between gameplay footage and a review, and some live action storytelling with James and his friend Mike Matei. In this case, the game being covered is “Bugs Bunny’s Birthday Blowout,” a game released […]
Finally, it’s Atari time in the Nerd room, and here the Nerd takes a look at the failed successor to the legendary Atari 2600, the Atari 5200.
I’m going to get to reviewing Season 2 of the Angry Video Game Nerd soon enough, and I thought it would be cool to share the general idea of how I’ll go about it, as while Season 1 was straightforward, Season 2 provides some challenges. Season 2 consists of 24 episodes, spanning through 2007 and […]
A legendary film, with a legendarily bad game — this time the Nerd takes a look at Back to the Future for the NES!
With the NES Classic Edition (or NES Mini as so many people want to call it) selling out everywhere, I though it might be worthwhile to share a review on the console from Mike and Ryan, of Cinemassacre. While I often think Mike, and to a lesser extent, Ryan, get confused on the specifics of […]
Has it really been almost a week since the last post? That’s strange for me, now, for sure, but there is good reason! Dominantly, Anime Blues Con 6! Oh yes, as stated in the post last week, I indeed did go to the convention on Saturday and had an amazing time – more on that […]
After a nearly 9 month wait, Doctor Who is back on the air with Series 8, Episode 1 “Deep Breath.” This episode is important because it is the premier of Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. The change of any actor in a show is a major one, but for a character like the Doctor, it’s […]
In late 2007, I purchased a Zune 80. I had weighed the options available, the design of units at the time, and the software used to sync them. My experience with iTunes and a borrowed iPod nano had been, suffice to say, less than stellar. Of course, the Zune software was just as clunky, but […]
