It’s day 3 of Shitsmas and this time around the Nerd is taking a look at a Sega Genesis game. This one is quite the oddity of note in that it’s a Venezuelan game made in 2004 that, for some reason, was put on a cartridge and is actually available to physically play on actual […]
For the second day of Shitsmas the Nerd opens up a game for the Sega Master System – ALF, based on the 80’s TV show of the same name. This is one of those super frustrating one hit and you’re dead games. Add that in with poor overall design and controls and, well, if you’ve […]
We’re moving right along to the 2014 Holiday season and this time around we have not one, not two, but twelve episodes to cover! Yes, 2014 marked an interesting Cinemassacre spin on the “12 days of Christmas” concept with the “12 days of Shitsmas” – 12 days, 12 quick reviews of 12 often requested games. […]
It was back on Halloween I published the last XVGR article (of all two which have been written so far.) I’ve been wanting to write more but my priorities with the site have been a bit shifted recently, and I’ve just not found good time that I felt like working on one. As things stand […]
It’s time for the Halloween AVGN episode for 2014 (yes, this was a relatively short year for episodes) and this time the Nerd is taking a look at Beetlejuice for the NES. Yep, it’s another LJN game, based on a very good 80’s film, so you know the game is going to be bad. Incidentally, […]
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 […]
This is a bit of a special AVGN episode. It was released 10 years after James had originally recorded the original “Bad Video Games” video on Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, and acted as a bit of an anniversary video on that front. It also was the last episode before the AVGN Movie, and equally acted […]
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 don’t hide the fact I’m a bit of a packrat, especially when it comes to data archived on computer systems both local to me and remote. Earlier in November I wrote about finally cleaning up my email inboxes of mail that, in some cases, has been archived for over 15 years. That’s, in some […]
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 […]
