World War One, by all accounts I’ve heard, would be the closest thing to “Hell on Earth” that has ever happened in human history. In many ways, it was the first true “modern” war, and in an equal number of ways was the last “traditional” war. The Verdun video game is based on the events …

Writing About What I Want, When I Want, How I Want – An Update
So, over the past few months I’ve been writing more. Much much more than I have in months, indeed, in years past. I’ve expressed before that I am switching over from making YouTube videos to writing more. I still crank out the occasional video, but at this stage, it’s so much easier to write than …

An Odd Quirk About Halo 3 Game Saves
So, I’ve been playing Halo 3 recently. Both on the Xbox One, via The Master Chief Collection, and the original Xbox 360 release from 2007. It’s a fun game, sure, and since I own a copy, why not go ahead and play through it on the 360 as well as the Xbox One, right? It’s …

Why I’m Not Excited For Virtual Reality
Remember back around 2009, when 3D movies became a big thing? Avatar, a generic Sci-Fi film that was basically the story of Pocahontas set on an alien plant, became the highest grossing film of all time (more on that in another article, maybe) and for what reason? It was the leader of the 3D film …

Tech Scammers Tried To Hijack My Twitter!
So last night I was watching a live stream by Scammer Revolts where he was doing what he does best – calling in to various known tech support scam services to troll them. One of the things I hate most are tech support scammers (more on that coming later) and as you would expect, they …

Xbox Design Lab – Xbox One Controller
One of the more interesting announcements this E3 was a custom controller design and build service being offered by Microsoft for the Xbox One. For about $15 more than the price of a standard off the shelf controller, you can have one custom built using a color scheme you select, as well as, for an …

The Computer Chronicles – CES 1991
Before E3, there was (and still is) a tech industry event known as the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES. This show is exactly what it sounds like, a trade exposition where new consumer technology is shown off, much of the time in some active state, be it simply a demo version, beta software, or just …

Who Won E3? The Answer May Surprise You!
Hey, look, a click bait title! No, I haven’t sold out, I’ve got a point in this, which will (hopefully) make sense as you read. E3 2016 is over, and I, like so many other gamers, are looking over the fallout of it, as we do every year, to see what to make of the …

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Gameplay Trailer
Another standard E3 event this year was the first gameplay trailer for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, a game that you would think would be the highlight of the upcoming gaming season that instead is being treated like the worst thing ever. Why though? Why are people hating on Infinite Warfare? Because it’s too futurist? …

First Look at Titanfall 2 Single Player and Multiplayer Trailers
Make no mistake about it, I genuinely enjoy Titanfall. I’m a fan of mechs as is, and to have a FPS that is mech based was a great idea. Titanfall had massive hype, but sad to say, to the masses, it didn’t deliver. While being multiplayer only, usually a bane to my enjoyment of a …

Destiny: Rise of Iron Reveal Trailer
Looks like Destiny is falling into the yearly update cycle proper with this next expansion – a cycle started last year with The Taken King expansion. Steady content updates are good things, you have to keep games like this fresh for people to keep wanting to play, and considering the love it or hate it …

First Look At Watch Dogs 2
In 2014, Ubisoft released their highly anticipated hacking-centric open world shooter “Watch Dogs”, and it was met with mixed emotions. Many players loved the unique gameplay element of hacking into various electronics, and felt the city of Chicago was captured well, but criticized the driving controls, some story and character elements and most of all, …

Xbox One S
What better to start my E3 2016 posts with than what is probably the most major “ready to go” product announcement this year: the new, slimline Xbox One. I make no effort to hide that I am an Xbox fan now. Oddly, it was the Xbox One that made me want to try Microsoft’s hardware, …

As E3 Keeps Moving Along, My Plans for Covering All The News
E3 2016 has already been quite a bit of excitement, with announcements we all expected combined with some that are coming totally out of left field. So far I haven’t written much of anything about it simply due to me waiting for the bulk of the announcements I would care about (namely Sony and Microsoft) …

A Sham of a Shop in Wolfchase Mall
Not too far from me is the main shopping center for the Memphis / Shelby County metropolitan area. The centerpiece of this area is a mall called Wolfchase Galleria. I’m not the most fond of the place, but I don’t hate it. It’s mostly clothing stores, a few specialty shops, and a ton of cell …
