News circled around the internet pretty quickly yesterday when the BBC announced that the next person to play the titular character of “The Doctor” on the long-running science fiction series “Doctor Who” is *gasp* a woman! In this case, the woman in question is Jodie Whittaker, an actress who, thanks to my lack of caring …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 18 / 19: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III – Episode Review
In a video that was, in a sense, a pilot for a spinoff series, James, as the Angry Movie Nerd, takes a look at the massive disappointment that was the film Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles III.
Bits And Bytes – Program 7: Computer-Assisted Instruction
One set of early applications that the home computers of the early 80’s were exceptional at (given the primitive graphics available) were those that taught something. Known in this video as “computer aided instruction” this episode of Bits and Bytes focuses on some rather impressive instructional programs intended for children, spanning the various major home …

Skipping The Convention
So, right now, an event I used to go to every year, Anime Blues Con, is happening here in Memphis. It’s, as the name suggests, and anime convention, and it’s been in previous years something I’ve looked forward to since learning about it in early 2011 – I would first attend the convention in 2012 …

AVGN Season 2 Review Plan
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 …

Who Are The “Classic” Nintendo Consoles Really For?
When both the NES Classic Edition and now the SNES Classic Edition were announced, a common comment from many in the gaming scene were that these mini-consoles were pointless, or some kind of similar lack of understanding why people are fascinated by them. This stems from a misconception of the very target demographic these machines …

July 2017 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Microsoft was super late on on getting out the video for July’s Games With Gold. Not just were they late on it, but they also seem to have been at quite a rush on this as the game selection seems lacking – almost as if Microsoft had gotten so wrapped up in E3 they had …

The SNES Classic Edition Game List
We might as well take a look at the game list for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic console that’s being released this September; after all, a game system is defined by its games, and the Super Nintendo had an amazing library, to say the least. I won’t beat around the bush with this – …

We Knew It Was Coming: The SNES Classic Edition
It’s funny, I was just talking to some friends the other day, us all discussing what games we would want to see on a hypothetical SNES Classic Edition console, and what does Nintendo do today but announce it coming, with 21 games. Sure, not nearly as many as the NES Classic Edition had at 30 …

As Expected, Sony Was Pushing Virtual Reality Heavily At This Years E3
As the title suggests, Sony was pushing very heavily it’s PlayStation VR platform this year at E3, with several “new” games being demonstrated with the technology. I say new, but in many cases the games being presented are old titles with new VR updates – Superhot and (uhg) Skyrim are the most blatant examples, with …

Next Years 2K Sports Titles To Not Be Released On The Last Generation Of Game Consoles
This past week 2K Games did their announcement of the first of their sports games for this next year: WWE 2K18. The primary thing from the announcement (at least that I see, hell it could have been the main point for all I know) was simply that Seth Rollins would be on the cover (because, …

The Articles That Triberr Missed – The GIF Format And Some E3 Coverage
So, shortly after my last articles on the subject. Triberr decided to push one of the missing articles up: I figured it would throw the other article up there as well, but it never did – not only that, thanks to the 14 article import per week limit, and me not knowing exactly where I …

Metro Exodus – Again, Into The Radioactive Wastes We Go
The Metro games have quite the cult following among fans of the post-apocalyptic genre. While Fallout is the most prominent example of the genre, there are many, many different game series that use similar settings: the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series being my personal favorites. There is a very similar yet still unique series, though, based off a …

Matterfall – A Fun Looking PS4 Exclusive
This is one of those games that, while it certainly isn’t enough to make me go out and buy a Playstation 4 (hell, I couldn’t be bothered to buy a Playstation 3 even with all the Killzone releases on the system), this is one of those games that I just kind of hate is exclusive. …

Metroid: Samus Returns – The Spiritual Successor To Metroid 2
A few months ago, Nintendo successfully took down on copyright grounds a fan-made Metroid 2 remake: this led to rumors that Nintendo was working on their own re-release of Metroid 2, and it looks like this is, basically, it: It follows the same general gameplay of classic Metroid, seems to have many elements similar to …
