Welcome to the year 2010! Well, at least 2010 for the Nerd! Yep, this was the first episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd for 2010. Still part of Season 4, sure, but the first new episode of a new year and, depending on who you ask, a new decade. The episode opens up by […]
In the latest case of “people who can’t even begin to read legalese properly,” quite a bit of a stink was made over a phrase in the most recent YouTube Terms of Service update, which is effective on December 10th 2019. The text in question reads as follows: YouTube may terminate your access, or your […]
They may be sparse, and they may be minor, but the Xbox 360 is indeed still getting the occasional update! The most recent of these was just a few days ago, on November 12th, with prior updates happening on August 21st, 2019 and lastly the “first update in two years” happening on May 22nd of […]
Back about 6 months ago the first trailer for the Sonic The Hedgehog movie was released and to say it was met with poor reaction would be an understatement. I, for one, wasn’t surprised by how poor it was — look at the history of films related to gaming and the like, they have rarely […]
Here we have the “Holiday” episode for 2009. Recall that Castlevaniathon went into November, meaning December 2009 had the previous episode, Little Red Hood, and this episode, Winter Games. Yeah, no Bible games this time around, just some frosty Winter gaming enjoyment. Okay more like frozen Winter crap. What we have here is a game […]
Last week I mentioned I had procured a ratty old Dell PowerEdge R310 server from work. It’s beat up, missing most of the hard drive carrier sleds (I still don’t know where those went) but it worked and was mine to do with what I saw fit. Over the past weekend I’ve devoted quite a […]
Coming hot off the heels of IGN’s terrible “Top 100 Games of All Time” list Polygon, another top notch dumpster fire gaming “journalism” site decided to publish their own top 100 list, this time on the “Best games of the Decade” spanning 2010 to 2019. I’ll spare the criticism that a decade really starts at […]
The great thing about working in a privately owned shop which has a long history of procuring and selling all kinds of surplus electronics (alongside the mainstay of video games and the like) is that, sometimes, you get to take home the most wild of things. I’ve previously mentioned a few 2007 iMac’s I got […]
James reviews the unlicensed NES game Little Red Hood, highlighting its bizarre cartridge design, random gameplay mechanics, ugly graphics, and frustrating difficulty, resulting in high Nerd rage.
Almost 5 years ago I bought a used Xbox 360 from a local game store. It was an original model, made in 2008, and was sold half jokingly with me reminded it could die on me at any moment. The console has not died on me, and indeed still works a treat. It’s been given […]
I know, I’m a little late getting at this one (as I am with virtually everything) but I couldn’t let this one happen without sharing my thoughts on it. When the list was first brought to my attention the main focus many had was how there were no Sega games, for example, on it, and […]
A new month means a new update on just what I’ve got planned for the next 4 weeks or so here. Not the most interesting content, unless you’re a particular type of person who really likes this kind of “what the person is thinking” content but hell, it wouldn’t feel right starting the month without […]
And here we are, Halloween day, and part four of “Castlevaniathon!” What a perfect day to finish this series on! Things pick up right where they left off — with James blowing his character up in Castlevania 64, disappointed with what the game was. As James would put it, he was looking in the wrong […]
In the third part of the “Castlevaniathon,” James reviews Super Castlevania IV on SNES and Castlevania on the Nintendo 64. He loves the former for its control and graphics but criticizes the latter’s awkward gameplay and camera issues.
Better slightly late, than never, I guess — it’s October 30th, and Microsoft finally released the video for the November 2019 Games with Gold lineup! Let’s dive in! Starting off on the Xbox One we have Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter and The Final Station. Okay, this looks kind of interesting at least. Sure, it’s […]
