After well over an hour of being down effectively globally, YouTube is back up and running as… er, well… as ever. While I’ve not yet seen any info on what the cause of the issue was, it does look like it was resolved, so we can all go back to watching whatever absurd junk we […]
It’s not every day that one of the top visited websites in the world seems to go down for most everyone, but when it does, it’s kind of incredible. In this case, as I type these words it’s 8:30 in the evening central time and YouTube has decided to go down. Well, not completely, you […]
Yesterday news broke of a flaw in the Google Plus API which from 2015 till recently in 2018 had the potential to expose otherwise private user data, something which would be bad enough on its own if it wasn’t for the fact that when Google became aware of this problem, but Google also apparently felt […]
I was slightly concerned yesterday morning when I saw that I had to manually log in to Facebook. I normally keep my browsers set to automatically log me in, so any situation where I would need to log back in would be cause for some kind of alarm. I figured maybe someone got ticked by […]
It’s September 27th, the tail end of September and the end of my self imposed “Entry A Day” challenge where, regardless of the content, I have to publish at least one entry to this site every day in September. So far I’ve had some close calls, writing and publishing some shorter articles within minutes of midnight, […]
I know I’m well over a week late for this one, but this is one of those things that was just too hilarious to pass up – the single worst custom computer build video that I think most people have ever watched! At least, as far as serious videos go, anyway. The video, published on […]
This Entry Has Been Superseded By This Article: A Final Commentary On The Whole PlayStation Classic Power Supply Mess When the PlayStation Classic was announced earlier in the week the reception was mixed, with most of the commentary following the same lines as Nintendo’s retro-console entries. There was one complaint that was rather specific to […]
Well, at least they tried… No, I don’t know offhand what this is about – it looks to be someone promoting Macintosh systems (against Windows 95 based PC’s) but beyond that, I don’t have a clue right now. I’ll look into it more in the future. Also, this may become a regular thing – […]
Moving on from the explosive end of the previous episode, we have part 2 of Double Vision. Just as part 1 covered the Intellivision, part 2 covers the Colecovision, a mighty system in its own right. Released in 1982, the Colecovision came a few years after the Intellivision, and well into the life of the […]
I’ve got more normal content coming tomorrow, but for today I wanted to cover a thought I just had with regards to what I write on any given day; a problem that most any blogger will understand and relate to. Should you write about currently trending topics, or about topics which have withstood the test […]
It’s funny, over the past few months I’ve had quite an influx of older Apple computer hardware come into my possession – were I any other kind of person you would think I would have been all over the Apple announcements today, but nope. Don’t care. Not in a bad way, just in the “eh, […]
This is the point where, from a historical perspective the Angry Video Game Nerd start to really get interesting – the “Double Vision” episodes. For those previous years, the character and the series were generally focused on games from the Nintendo Entertainment System, with some branching out Sega Genesis and Super NES topics with only […]
One of the older articles I’ve written here that tends to get steady traffic is the April 2017 article I wrote on the release of the Documentary for the Psycho Series by YouTube user McJuggernuggets. This (and a review article which, oddly, never seems to get hits – go figure) happened to include links to […]
The Wizard Of Oz episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is one I consider somewhat pivotal at the very least in my personal experience with the series, as this is actually the first episode of AVGN which I saw when it was new. I recall a friend and his brother watching it in early […]
Oh, dang, I’ve got like 20 minutes to crank out an article before we hit midnight. Time for another “eh, let’s just get this out to keep up my 1 article per day challenge” entry! Right now I’m scouring through some old hard drives from various computers which I’ve gotten over the years – some […]
