Funny how things go, sometimes. The moment I published my previous article on the NROL-37 launch, United Launch Alliance uploaded 2 videos of their own – One being the complete livestream of the mission, and the other being a “Launch Highlights” compilation, capturing the feel of the pre-launch and early boost phases in a very …

NROL-37 Successfully Launches On A Delta IV Heavy
Ah, the Delta IV Heavy. The most powerful active launch vehicle in the world. While other launch vehicles have surpassed its capacity, few of those actually had successful flights, and regardless of their successes, or lack thereof, none of these top tier boosters are in production anymore. In December 2014, a Delta IV Heavy booster …

Looks Like I Spoke Too Soon About McJuggerNuggets
Just a few days ago I wrote about the end of the McJuggerNuggets YouTube channel. At that time, it did indeed seem like he wasn’t going to make any more videos, until today, where a new one randomly popped up. At the end of his last video, before revealing the entire “Psycho Series” and the …

When People Strive To Be Incorrect
One of my many many quirks is a desire to be as correct as I can be in what I say, do, or think. I’m in no way saying I’m always right, but I am saying I try to avoid being incorrect where I can be – I like to use the proper terms for …

McJuggerNuggets Ends The Psycho Series
Edit: The original title of this article was “McJuggernuggets ends his YouTube Channel. Obviously he has continued his channel, which I may cover more of in the future. However, I am leaving the article here as is for archival sake. At the time, that’s what everyone thought had happened – that the channel was over. …

Burger King Toy Turned Into A Working Game Boy? *Yawn*
So the most current bit geeky pop culture news floating around, that at least caught my attention, is this story on Kotaku about a guy turning a Burger King toy from around 2000, into a functional Game Boy. At least, that’s what the article states, and while this isn’t a lie, it isn’t quite what …

When Open World Games are Too Open
I’ve been playing Farcry 4 off and on for the past few months. Yeah, it’s a 2014 title, but it’s still a good one – in fact, it was the first game I bought for my Xbox One when I purchased it last year, but only in November of 2015 did I get around to …

YouTube Has Broken Their Subscription Listings. What Else Is New?
When I go on YouTube to watch a video, I expect it to just work. More precisely, I expect the fundamentals to work as they should – I’m able to log in, watch the videos I want to, and go about my day enjoying content. The subscription listing is key to this, since those content …

Ghostbusters Trailer 2 Isn’t Any Better Than the First One
Back in March I took a look at the first trailer for the new Ghostbusters film, and while that article was an overly long meandering mess of thoughts, I felt it accurately portrayed my thoughts on the trailer: it may be functionally a well produced trailer, but the core content in the film looks to …

Finding The Perfect BBS For Me
Last week, I finally took the plunge into old-school computer usage by perusing various Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes) via Telnet. Always fascinated by the early days of “modern” computer usage, I wanted to experience the pre-internet digital community as best as I can in 2016, and since then, have been hunting around off and on …

The Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 140 – Paperboy
I’ve been meaning to write about Angry Video Game Nerd episodes for years now. The videos, while extremely crass and possibly intolerable for some types, are also well loved by so many others, especially gamers of my age range who grew up playing games on the Atari 2600, the NES, and later consoles. We grew …

June 2016 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Many gamers felt the Games with Gold offerings in May 2016 were sub par. Even I felt they were rather hit and miss, but I never turn down a chance for free games, and I always look forward to what the next month will offer – you never know when a random game will become …
