I was intending to write this article a month ago, around the 13th anniversary of this sites founding, but given how much chaos last month was it got delayed while I worked on some other more critical tasks. Today, to finish off this week I figured now would be as good a time as ever […]
I’ve been saying for years I want to get to doing game reviews on the website. As damn near archaic as the idea seems — reviews are quite “old hat” as they say that very fact that they are seen as so old fashioned and aren’t as common now as they used to be makes […]
From a period around 2013 until maybe 2017 or 2018 at the latest, I tried my damnedest to have fun with a YouTube channel which focused on my various projects, interests, and the like, much like any other even remotely “geeky” person tends to do. For a while it was fun, but soon, thanks to […]
Since finally getting much of my vintage computer collection back into a usable location I’ve somewhat run back into a kick of playing around with the old machines and watching / reading media related to them, their operating systems, what have you. It’s been a nice break from work, current events, and music related studies […]
Last week I made it a goal to cover all of AVGN Season 6 within a 5 day period. This was, by far, the shortest “season” of the Nerd, at only 5 episodes, and worked out perfectly to an episode each day. I completed this goal and pushed myself into what I consider the “Modern” […]
Last night Sony posted a blog entry showing off the new controller for the PlayStation 5. I covered that in the previous article, but at the end of that entry mentioned that the visual style of this controller may give us a clue as to what the PlayStation 5 console itself may actually look like. […]
Over the past year or so my “office” in one room of the house has become pretty much nothing but storage, and in the process my Macintosh systems as well as a few other Windows machines of varying vintages have been effectively inaccessible. Over the past week some work has been done on that room […]
It’s time for the 2011 Holiday episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and in this case we have the third and, so far, final installment of “Bible Games” — games produced with Christian themes targeted towards religious audiences, with virtually all of them, by the nature of their subject matter, being (ironically) unlicensed by […]
Here we have the 2011 Halloween AVGN episode – Dark Castle for the Sega Genesis. The Nerd introduces the episode pondering on why the NES had so many terrible games for it, and decides to give the big, bad 16 bit Sega Genesis a go as a change of pace, and the game of choice […]
Here we have a very special Angry Video Game Nerd episode. Not only is does this one cover an incredibly important game in Nintendo history, the Nintendo World Championships competition cartridge, but it also features a crossover between both James Rolfe as the Nerd and Pat Contri as Pat the NES Punk. During this time […]
Recently Sony finally got off its butt and actually announced some information about the PlayStation 5, including system specifications and details on its backwards compatibility or, more correctly, its lack thereof, but still left quite a bit to the internet rumor mill. I thought it would be nice to cut through the lies and attention-seeking […]
We’re in quite a unique time in history, what with the whole Coronavirus situation and how that’s affecting life for most everyone on Earth in some way. That being said, most people are trying to, in one way or another, keep things pretty normal in their lives during this, and that’s no exception here on […]
Next up in season 6 of The Angry Video Game Nerd we have a much more traditional episode than the previous one — this time an 8 minute look at the NES game “Kid Kool.” Of note is right at the opening we have the “new” Nerd intro for widescreen episodes, where 2 separate panes […]
It’s time again to take a look at the upcoming months Games with Gold lineup, but things are a bit different this time around. Thanks to the current Coronavirus issue, there appears to be no video for the April games with Gold assortment. Yep, no video to accompany things, just an image from the Xbox […]
Welcome to Season 6 of The Angry Video Game Nerd. At this time James was still getting production of the movie underway, and this time period, the late half of 2011, would mark a final spurt of Nerd episodes before a 6 month break as filming of The Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie would […]
