Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 62: Bible Games II – Episode Review

It’s Christmas in July! Okay, not really, this is just how the scheduling (if you can call it that) for these episode reviews worked out, so today we’re taking a look at the second “Bible Games” Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This one is a bit of an interesting one — it was the first […]

HBO’s Chernobyl And Possible Plagiarism – A Deep Look

Yesterday I wrote about an email I had received regarding an article I had written well over a year ago about the Chernobyl Disaster. More specifically, the article shared a video I had found which had a visual effect of Ukrainian text for what was spoken in actual recordings of calls made to fire dispatch […]

Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch, An Email From Ukraine, And HBO’s Chernobyl – A Strange Story

Back in April of 2018 I wrote a short article for the 32nd Anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster titled “The Chernobyl Disaster – Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch.” It was a simple article where I shared a video I had found by the same title which had audio recordings of calls made to firefighting […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 59: CD-i Part I – Hotel Mario – Episode Review

It’s time for the Phillips CD-i episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Not one, not two, but three episodes were devoted to this console and some of its games.

Old launches, more recent ones, it doesn’t matter to me, I just enjoy seeing these machines do their thing. These aren’t all going […]

Reddit And Computer Elitism (Or, How Not To Actually Answer A Question) – Part 2

Yesterday I told the story of what happened on Reddit when my friend Prince Watercress decided to ask a relatively simple tech support question in the Windows 10 subreddit. To put the relatively long story short, while one person provided actual advice (from their own experience) which didn’t solve the problem but was still helpful, […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 58: Frankenstein – Episode Review

Moving directly on from the previous episode on Dracula games, we have James covering games based on the Frankenstein story, with a nice little twist thrown in for his classic Halloween theatrics. James is playing the Nerd as Dr. Frankenstein (or, well, Dr. Franken-Nerd, I guess, to be accurate to the story) who creates a […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 57: Dracula – Episode Review

Is it Halloween already? No, not really. Not at all — it’s still June right now, but this is where we are in the Angry Video Game Nerd series and as such today we’ll be looking at an episode focusing on games based on the Dracula story. The Nerd isn’t doing the most obvious ones […]
