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 …

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” …

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 …

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 1: How I Got This Thing
Over the past 2 weeks I’ve come into the possession of quite the atypical piece of gaming tech — a PAL format PlayStation 3 console. This is odd, of course, because I’m in the United States and we aren’t exactly in a location where a PAL system has any real use. Still, it came through …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 96: Lester the Unlikely – Episode Review
Here we have a much more traditional Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This time, James takes a look at an SNES game that I had never heard of up until this point called “Lester the Unlikely.” Picking the game “at random” the Nerd right off the bat doubts the game is going to be good …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 95: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Revisited – Episode Review
Here we have what was 2010’s Halloween episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and also the second part of James revisiting some of his early review subjects — in this case, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the Nintendo Entertainment System. He opens by discussing that, to his horror, even though he warned everyone …
