Fall begins here in the Northern Hemisphere on September 23rd. When you think of fall, you think of cool winds coming from the north, leaves falling off trees, Halloween and maybe Thanksgiving, jackets, and not having to run the AC all damn day. At least, that’s the way television and such have portrayed it for […]
It took quite a few hours of downloading, image selecting, editing, uploading, and article refinement to make it happen, but it’s actually complete — every single Angry Video Game Nerd episode review here on Xadara has at least one image associated with it! I’d estimate it took about 5 hours of solid work to make […]
When I said at the beginning of the month that September was going to be a “when I feel like it” month for publishing content, I wasn’t kidding — I’ve written almost nothing the past week and a half, but for good reason. As mentioned in a previous update, I’ve been taking a break from […]
Last month a began a process to update all of my previous Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to have images from the episode being reviewed. This was something I neglected when starting the project and in retrospect wish I had done from the beginning. In any case, the last batch of episodes I did […]
At the end of every month I like to set up a “goals list” for the next month on this website in the form of these “What’s coming” articles. Each month I make some progress but never really “complete” these goals. This month is going to be different, as I’m not going to set any […]
I was watching an old episode of Oddity Archive the other day and while it was based on a rather grim topic (nuclear disaster preparedness in the UK) an image was shown in the episode for a brief moment which, I would have to guess based on context in the episode, is from a film […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
No, really, I *may* have ordered one, as I’m not sure if the order will actually be processed! As a part of Amazon Prime day I decided to go ahead and get a PlayStation Classic – they were only $20, and for that I’d buy one as an emulation box, at the very least, if […]
I write about gaming quite a bit here. It’s one of my main hobbies and something I’ve enjoyed for as long as I can remember. The thing is, I don’t actually sit down and play games as often as people may think, or as I’d like to. While you may think I spend all my […]
I mentioned a while a go that I’ve had a few idea on content I’d like to write — namely, a couple of review series which I think would be pretty fun to do, and would attract an audience. As you can imagine I naturally enjoy writing about things that I, well, enjoy. That’s obvious, […]
It’s the 4th of July and, in what’s becoming a tradition here, instead of typical fireworks I like to celebrate online with something with a little more power behind it – rockets. Old launches, more recent ones, it doesn’t matter to me, I just enjoy seeing these machines do their thing. These aren’t all going […]
