I thought some of you out there might find it a little funny, after waiting nearly a month for the thing to come in, and having it in my possession for over a week and a half, I still haven’t even opened the dang thing! There’s a few reasons. For one, I’ve just been preoccupied […]
The time frame before the release of a new game console is an interesting one. Thanks to the nature of things, companies tend to hold off on announcing many details of their products too early. There are various reasons for this — building up fan base hype (something I rather dislike,) to avoid letting competition […]
The other night, after publishing my review of episode 67, I finally began the task of adding images to my previous episode reviews. I wanted to “liven up” the reviews since I had never put in episode images before — I thought it wouldn’t be necessary, and I didn’t want to waste space in the […]
I’ve been meaning to toss this one out there but have been a bit busy the past few weeks, but now that I have a bit of time I might as well share this little tidbit, for what it’s worth to you, the reader. Late the other week, around the 2nd of August, I was […]
Ah, Metal Gear. Quite the well loved series these days, it had a rocky start in the West, not really gaining popularity until the PlayStation and Metal Gear: Solid, in 1998. Metal Gear has quite the interesting history, having started in the MSX computer platform in Japan. The NES “port” of the original game (if […]
Remember back on Amazon Prime day back in the middle of July? Remember how they had the PlayStation Classic going for 20 bucks? Well, I ordered one, as mentioned in this previous article, and it only just the other day came to me. Amazing had over-sold units by quite a bit, it would seem, and […]
The 90’s was an interesting time for animation. After a few decades of what amounted to “cartoons are just for kids” thinking, things had begun to change. On one hand, Nickelodeon introduced their Nicktoons line, animation made for the kids that adults could watch and enjoy with them — made for entertainments sake. On the […]
You know, I never expected the Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to get as far as they did — I’m in Season 4 and am incredibly optimistic on where this is going, as it’s gone from being just a fun little side project to something to really enjoy! In retrospect, however, I didn’t plan […]
Moving right along from where the previous episode left off, we find the Nerd playing a selection of Atari Jaguar games. This gives us a good look at what the system had to offer over the course of its life. The Nerd begins by taking a look at what are probably the best games for […]
It’s time to begin taking a look at what I consider the best season of The Angry Video Game Nerd (Season 4) and what a better way to start off than a history episode! No, I’m not being sarcastic, I actually rather like the episodes where the Nerd talks about the back story of some […]
Sometimes, in the life of a web site, you need to start fresh. The thing is, you can’t just delete everything and truly start like new. Well, you can, but that isn’t exactly the best course of action since it would greatly hurt ranking in search engines and already existing back links to content. That’s […]
Welcome to August, one of the hottest months of the year in my area and probably the greatest month of the year where I’d rather stay inside and game than go out and do much of anything. Of course a new month means a new set of games from Games With Gold, and this month […]
It’s been a few days since my last post here, and even with that the last few posts were all Apollo 11 related. The 50th anniversary was quite an event to be a part of, even passively as I was. More so than the actual shared experience, intensity and emotion was found in my own […]
The evening of July 20th was spent with me watching the entirety of the Apollo 11 moonwalk as it had happened 50 years ago on that same date. I knew the whole event was only about 2 hours long but, like everything about watching the mission in real time, it was amazing to me how […]
Six and a half hours after landing on the Lunar surface on July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to step onto another celestial body. A goal set by President Kennedy back in 1961, and a dream that many cultures in humanity had had for centuries in the past had […]
