Microsoft pushed it till the very end of the month again, but here we go: Another month, another set of free games with an Xbox Live Gold membership! I know I often am disappointed in these lists, but each month I always hope for the best from the upcoming lineup, as you never know when …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 58: Frankenstein – Episode Review
Moving directly on from the previous episode on Dracula games, we have James covering games based on the Frankenstein story, with a nice little twist thrown in for his classic Halloween theatrics. James is playing the Nerd as Dr. Frankenstein (or, well, Dr. Franken-Nerd, I guess, to be accurate to the story) who creates a …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 57: Dracula – Episode Review
Is it Halloween already? No, not really. Not at all — it’s still June right now, but this is where we are in the Angry Video Game Nerd series and as such today we’ll be looking at an episode focusing on games based on the Dracula story. The Nerd isn’t doing the most obvious ones …

My Top 10 Michael Jackson Songs
A few years ago I wrote an article titled “My Top 10 80’s Songs That Aren’t By Michael Jackson.” That article was written with the intention that I would do a top 10 Michael Jackson song list, and as you can tell from the title, this is that article. Today, June 25th 2019, marks 10 …

The Computer Chronicles – File Compression (1991)
It’s been quite a while since we last looked at a Computer Chronicles episode, and I thought today would be a good day to rectify this. Today we’re going to take a look at an episode from 1991 involving file compression. Yes, exciting, I know. In all seriousness it is a somewhat interesting topic – …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 56: Dick Tracey – Episode Review
Ah Dick Tracey. That name takes me back to the early 90’s quite well. As this episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd explains in its opening, Dick Tracey was a major motion picture release in 1990, based off of a somewhat obscure comic strip from the 30’s. While there had been other media based …

A Filmmakers Perspective On The New Mac Pro
To say the “new” Mac Pro is controversial among the enthusiast Macintosh fan scene would be an understatement. For as many people are out there who can say positives about the machine, there are just as many who have quite a bit negative to say, usually focusing on the price more than anything else. That’s …

Prince Watercress Comments On New Coke
From time to time I like to give a little space for my friend Prince Watercress to share thoughts, comments, what have you. Today I thought I’d give our echidna obsessed friend a chance to share his comments on New Coke. He ordered some the same time I did, and, in retrospect, had this to …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 55: Battletoads – Episode Review
Moving on from the relative disaster that is the Deadly Towers review, we get to an Angry Video Game Nerd episode that’s much better – Battletoads. Battletoads, developed by Rare (the same people who would later create titles like Donkey Kong Country and Goldeneye 007) released this rather well loved game in 1991. It blended …

Honestly, I Thought Apple Had Killed The Whole iPod Line
A few weeks ago, just a bit before WWDC, there was a small Apple announcement which caught me by surprise — an update to the iPod Touch product line! I know, I’m late as hell to write about this but whatever. I’m going to be completely honest here. As the title suggests, I thought Apple …

The New Coke Experience
Last Tuesday my Stranger Things Coke order, which included 2 cans of the infamous 1985 “New Coke” formula, came in . This is something I’ve been wanting to try for much of my life, but especially over the past few years have been thinking Coke as a company should bring back in some capacity and, …

Goodbye YouTube
Yes, I know it’s quite the dramatic title. Figured I’d use tactics that were common on YouTube to get some extra attention to this article — more than it already would get naturally. “Play their game” as they say. The other night I finally committed to a decision I had been considering for some time …

10 Years Ago: The Digital TV Transition In The United States
Today, June 12th 2019 marks 10 years since the mandated day that terrestrial television — you know, the “over the air” type you get with an antenna — was set to end analog broadcasts and go “all digital.” It’s actually one hell of a complicated story — far too much for me to go into …

My Thoughts On The New Mac Pro
It’s been a week since Apple’s WWDC event where, among many other things, they finally announced a new Mac Pro, nearly 6 years after the release of the, in retrospect, maligned “trash can” 2013 system. I wanted to let a little time pass before I gave my thoughts on the system, not only so I …

The Xbox E3 2019 Presentation
I know, I know — I said last year I wasn’t going to cover E3 this year and I’m not. Hell, I didn’t know and wasn’t intending on watching Microsoft’s presentation yesterday but a friend made me aware of it and suggested I check it out so we could talk about it later in actual …
