Here we have it – the most requested game for the nerd to Nerd review — the one everyone wanted, covering what has for many years been called the worst game ever – E.T. for the Atari 2600. This also is certainly the most unique episode as it’s not actually a real episode – it’s […]
I’m in the process of copying nearly 400 gigabytes of data to an external hard drive for archival purposes – some of it certainly will be deleted, if not most of it, with the remainder organized and stored away where it needs to be. The bulk of this is all data from previous projects which […]
Here we have a bit of an odd one in AVGN history, as it wouldn’t be a game you’d expect yet it’s the perfect candidate for the Nerd’s review style: Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. This is a rather infamous PC title from as recently as 2003 (just a little over 10 years before […]
In part 2 of this holiday wish list themed episode the Nerd spends more time covering an assortment of video games he has been often requested to review — a “wish list” as it were of reviews. We get right to the chase with this one, opening up with “A Boy and his Blob” for […]
It’s Time for the holiday 2013 episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd – a two part set of episodes based on the classic holiday idea of a “wish list.” Yes, in this pair of episodes the Nerd goes over quite a few games that many fans have been wishing he would talk about but, […]
It’s time for what has to be one of the most “meta” episodes of the series, as this time the Nerd takes a look at games based on himself! Yep, Angry Video Game Nerd games are the subject of episode 115. This was done primarily as a promotional effort for the then new (and recently […]
I know, I know – it’s the beginning of December, but the Halloween 2013 episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is what’s next in the queue, so it’s what we’re looking at today. The episode opens with a plug for Monster Madness, the annual Cinemassacre Halloween event which would have been underway when this […]
It’s the end of 2020. One more month to go, one more chance to make up for what was otherwise lost time this year. I’ll make this one quick, as it’s pretty much the same overall idea as last month – stay the course. That is to say, I’m just going to keep on writing […]
It’s time to scrape the bottom of the barrel. In this episode, the Nerd takes a look at games produced by Tiger Electronics. As is discussed in the episode, any kid who grew up in the late 80’s or early 90’s will certainly remember these things and just how terrible they were! Before the episode […]
Here we have what is, by far, my favorite episode of the entire series: Ikari Warriors! This is apparently a game James has had a problem with since he was a kid, and this is his chance to finally tear into it. He wastes no time either – beyond a few side comments early on […]
On November 22nd, 2005, the Xbox 360 launched to quite the celebration, both in the gaming scene and in the Mojave desert via an event known as “Zero Hour.” If you had told me then that 15 years later I’d be writing this article about the event, I’d have probably thought you were crazy. I […]
A couple of years ago I set out on a goal to have a more regular publishing schedule here on Xadara. The idea was Monday through Friday publishing which would result in around, if I posted an entry per day, a little over 20 entries a month. On the surface it was a fine idea […]
The same night I did repairs on my Core 2 Duo Mac mini, nicknamed “Lion” I found out there was a bit of an issue with my other Mac mini, the Core Duo system I used as a basic file host and affectionately dubbed “Miniserv” for its role as a Mac mini “server.” In this […]
I generally try not to get too political here, but given that 2020 has been one hell of a year on virtually all fronts I figured now is as good a time as any to just kind of let loose with what I’ve been wanting to say on this subject. That is, the way the […]
Yesterday I took one of my Mac mini’s (Lion, for those curious) to work again so I could do a bit of a deep clean on it. Something was rattling around in it and I didn’t want to turn it back on (it’s been out of use since the Spring) without getting whatever it was […]
