Sometimes, even when I have a massive backlog of things to write about, I just don’t want to write. I want to game, I want to go thrifting, I want to read a book, I wanna watch a movie; anything but writing for the website. It isn’t because I don’t care or because I don’t […]
With inspiration from his friend Mike, James makes another Bad NES Games style video to round the series out to a trilogy. Little did they know what they were creating when this review of The Karate Kid on NES was uploaded to YouTube.
It’s tax season, in case you didn’t know. Today, most people do their taxes online, via some preparation software or via a third-party service that invariably uses custom software, or some electronic filing system down the line. to get the actual data to the IRS. 30 years ago, however, it was a different story. Electronic […]
As is well known by now, both through general discussion and via many YouTube videos, the actual game cards for the Nintendo Switch taste terrible. The games are physically tiny, similar to a thick SD card, and would be very easy for a child to swallow. Nintendo’s answer to this problem is to make the […]
I didn’t think I would need to write a follow up to the 1st EliteCon article (as seen here) but clearly since a couple of people can’t read (either between the lines or in general) it seems like I just have to address a few things that, for whatever reason, either were not understood in, […]
Many of the people I socialize with on Facebook stem from the local anime convention scene. While I’m starting to get burnt out on conventions on a whole, I do still go to them and pay some attention to the scene; at least, when I feel like it. Making the rounds on my feed though […]
It’s time to head back to 1983, to a time when the PC as we know it was in its infancy, and the home computer market was still dominated by the likes of Commodore, Atari, Apple (pre Macintosh, mind you), and Tandy (at least, here in the North American market – it was a slightly […]
YouTube is getting to a point where many content creators are just plain sick of it. There are as many problems as there are people who produce content for the site, it would seem, and many people are finally letting their opinions be known. A much needed vent.

It’s getting to the point where there are so many rocket launches day in, day out, that I can’t keep up. In this case, we have a rocket that I’ve never covered before, the ESA’s “Vega” booster, and a pretty nice launch from the Guyana Space Centre. Vega is a somewhat unique rocked in that […]
Ah, Super Mario Bros. 2. A classic game, beloved by many. Not so much me – while I don’t hate the game, it honestly isn’t one I’m super fond of, or enjoy playing much. Still, it’s one hell of a game, with one hell of a story behind it. I’m not here to talk about […]
It’s been quite a few months since I wrote the first part of this small article series. Never intended to make it take so long, but I got caught up in many other things and honestly, for a while, forgot about the events of last year. Now, however, is as good a time as any […]
A decade after it’s release, the Apple II, one of the “holy trinity” of affordable microcomputers released in 1977, was still going strong. Constant updates and improvements kept these machines in use far beyond their original designed life, and beyond the life of 8-bit computers on a whole: I dare say in the early 90’s […]
Today I finally got started on some of the long-overdue site updates that I mentioned the other week (see Coming Soon: Even Better Site Organization). These updates will make for easier navigation and discovery of other articles and more long-term content that readers may enjoy. Anyone who follows the site knows I tend to write […]
Following up from the Castlevania II review, James takes a look at Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, also on NES, to cap off his “Bad Video Games” film pair.
This is it. Tonight. Midnight (or opening time for stores not doing a midnight run) is the launch of the Nintendo Switch. March 3rd, a day many a gamer has been waiting for is finally here. Already friends of mine are waiting outside for the chance to get theirs at midnight, with others planning to […]
