Pardon the relative silence, I’m right in the middle of a very busy week. Still, I felt like posting this relatively short entry to share that I’ve got some interesting phone equipment coming in which will certainly make for some quality text and video content — at least, for the more traditional telephony inclined kind […]
Every year I like to share the thoughts of my partner in crime, Prince Watercress, regarding the previous year and the upcoming one. His ceaseless stream of Let’s Plays and wrestling recaps are nothing short of incredible in their sheer volume and detail, and he’s really carved out a niche for himself – he handles […]
It goes without saying that 2020 proved to be one hell of a year. While for me it actually wasn’t all that bad, beyond a major spot in the early portion of Spring, it was still a rough one between work, personal life, and my online existence. Still, it was also a year of growth […]
It’s just about 6PM Central time for me as I begin writing this, and the year 2020 is coming to a close. Normally I’d take a bit of time to do a retrospective of the past year but, as we all know, it’s been a bit of a mess, to say the least. Even I […]
Would you believe I didn’t even find out about the event until nearly 12 hours after it happened? Yeah, I had apparently stayed off social media so well on Christmas day that it wasn’t until near 5PM that I learned anything had even occurred in my states capital! So, we know the deal – early […]
It’s the 12th and final day of Shitsmas and, as hinted at in the previous video the final gift the Nerd opens is a product by LJN. This time it isn’t just a game, but an entire game system! Well, not quite — it’s more of an early computer graphics device. Of course, it’s bad. […]
It’s the 11th day of Shitsmas. We’re almost done with game after horrible game, but not before we hit the final two, and today we have a pretty big one to contend with – Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure for the GameCube. Now, this seems like an awesome idea — a video game where you […]
For the 10th day of Shitsmas the Nerd opens not just a single game, but an entire freaking game system! Yep, for this one he gets a bit more than he hoped for with the Hyperscan game console released in 2006. Yes, James was already well into the AVGN series when this console was released […]
We’re at the 9th day of Shitsmas, and for this wonderful day the Nerd opens up an Atari 2600 game – Porky’s, based loosely on the 1981 film of the same name. This is actually one of the longer Shitsmas episodes and, quite honestly, is a complete review and really feels like a proper AVGN […]
New month, new year, new set of games with the Games with Gold program. Of course I’ve got take a look at them and give my take on the offerings, for what it’s worth – that’s been a damn near 5 year tradition now and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! That said, let’s […]
It’s the 8th day of Shitsmas, and today we have another movie based game. Incidentally, however, this game is not published by LJN – no, Ocean took the reigns of this one and did a perfectly average job. The game in question is Lethal Weapon on the NES. Yeah, after introducing what the Lethal Weapon […]
Time now for a bit of unscheduled comedy. I got an alert that the program which manages my graphics card had an update. I, naturally, began to install this update and was surprised at how slowly it was actually downloading – at something more akin to 56K dial up than any proper form of broadband. […]
Welcome to the 7th day of Shitsmas, and for today’s present the Nerd is greeted with the PlayStation game V.I.P, based on the TV show of the same name starring the actress Pamela Anderson. James wasted no time in opening up with something that anyone in my age range already knows — this woman’s name […]
It’s day 6 of Shitsmas – that’s right, we’re halfway through this insanity, and here we are looking at a rarity for the Nerd – A GameBoy Color game! In this case, a game based on the Olsen twins and a then-current TV show they were the stars of. This has to be awesome right? […]
The title isn’t entirely true – there are a few very unimportant entries which had been deleted a while back which are lost. They had no value anyway, unlike the entries I restored this evening. If you have been following this site for long enough or know me to any real degree you will know […]
