I’ve recently finally really taken time to enjoy just sitting back and playing games again; I worked my way through Halo: Reach again recently and right now have been finally working through Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. During the past week or so of playing it I’ve made the occasional post on twitter about …

A Final Commentary On The Whole PlayStation Classic Power Supply Mess
Over a year and a half ago in September of 2018, following the announcement of the PlayStation classic I wrote an entry on the then-hot subject of it not coming with any kind of power supply — you were expected to provide your own USB power supply, rated at 1 Amp. I felt this wasn’t …

Spam Showcase Vol. 3: The First Horizon Bank Scam Texts
Here’s a bit of a different one in the world of spam, at least for me — text messages claiming that my First Horizon Bank account has been locked and that I need to log into the website to unlock it. Normally, I try to cover spam that’s somewhat funny, but this one is a …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 100: R.O.B. the Robot – Episode Review
Well, here we are. Episode 100 of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it this far with these reviews — I figured I’d get maybe 10 or 20 in and then get tired of it. Nope. That’s not the case, and today we’re taking a look back to the (then) …

March 2020 Xbox Live Games With Gold
It’s funny, I had actually forgotten we were coming to the end of the month, so I was surprised to see the March Games with Gold lineup show in my YouTube subscriptions feed. That’s all good though, the video is here meaning it’s time to talk about the free games coming next month. Let’s get …

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 6: How Well Does This Thing Actually Perform?
Last time I went over the learning experience that actually was modding the PAL PlayStation 3 console I wound up with. It wasn’t the worst process to do, but man is it not explained well; at least, not in any video or written work I found in a cursory search. Regardless, I got things working …

The Only Articles I Truly Regret Writing
If you’re any kind of creative individual you will likely relate to the fact that, inevitably, something you create will become something you wind up regretting. It’s extremely rare for anyone who makes anything to not have at least something they feel was a mistake, wasn’t good as it was released, or otherwise simply doesn’t …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 99: Star Wars – Episode Review
This is one of those Angry Video Game Nerd episodes that was seemingly destined to happen. Being the big fan of Star Wars that James Rolfe is, it seemed inevitable that he would spend some time on the multitude of Star Wars video games which have been released over the years, especially in the early …

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 5: Let The Modding Begin!
Finally, after a couple of weeks of tinkering off and on with the European PlayStation 3 I wound up with, the system was ready for home and the modding process. Let’s go over one more time just what I had: The system is a launch era European market PlayStation 3. This means it has partial-hardware …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 98: Day Dreamin’ Davey – Episode Review
It’s time for a bit more of a traditional Nerd episode. This time the Nerd is taking a look at Day Dreamin’ Davey on the NES. This is a bit of an interesting case since, instead the usual suspects like LJN being behind this game in some way, it was developed by HAL laboratories, the …

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 4: A New Power Supply And The Past Life Of The System
The past few articles have covered a week and a half word of time, from the system originally being left at the shop to this day about a week ago where I finally had time to do what I needed to with the system to make it usable at home. Keep in mind since the …

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 3: Just What Do I Really Have?
In the last entry in this series I discussed how we determined that the European PlayStation 3 I had come into possession of actually did work — at least, it had no critical issues. Being a system made for the European market its power supply was a 220-240 volt only model — not a “universal” …

Sorry For The Technical Difficulties: Blame WordPress And Jetpack — Again
I honestly don’t even know this this post will actually get published, let alone shared, as currently I’m unable to get the “new post” page on Xadara to load. Well, that is, unless I disable the Jetpack plugin — a very helpful tool (practically mandatory for any serious WordPress blogger) which helps with statistics collection, …

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 2: Does It Even Work?
In the first part of this story I explained just how I came to be in the possession of a European PlayStation 3, even though I’m smack dab in the middle of the United States. As a refresher, this unit was a launch model, capable of running PlayStation 2 software as well as the PlayStation …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 97: How the Nerd Stole Christmas – Episode Review
It’s time for Christmas in… February? What? Yeah, that’s just how the episode reviews panned out — we’re at another Holiday episode already and it’s mid-February. At least in Season 4 when we had Winter Games it was a bit more generic of an episode. This time around, as the title suggests, we get an …
