Weekend Discussion takes a rare serious turn to let you know what you can do if you ever encounter ICE. Stay safe.

I'm a Maniac!

For this year's Halloween episode, the Angry Video Game Nerd explores Maniac Mansion.

I'm a Maniac... again!

AVGN knew what he was getting into, but meanwhile, Grand POOBear had never played a minute of Maniac Mansion. So how does he fare?

Oh my car

Maximilian has reached the bonus stage.

Ozzie Mejia Senior Editor

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
