Over the past 2 weeks I’ve come into the possession of quite the atypical piece of gaming tech — a PAL format PlayStation 3 console. This is odd, of course, because I’m in the United States and we aren’t exactly in a location where a PAL system has any real use. Still, it came through …

A Look Back At When Apple Banned Typewriters Inside The Company
In one of those funny moments where multiple hobbies of mine (in this case typewriters and old computers) cross paths I thought it would be fun to take a look back to a February 1st 1980 internal Apple Computer memo regarding the banning of typewriters (and any similar devices) from the company by January 1st, …

What’s Coming For February 2020 On Xadara
I can sum up this entire article in one word — Change. That’s really, in its most base form, what’s coming to this site over the next month. As I prepare for the 13th anniversary of the site being started, I’m once again coincidentally put in a place where I feel some change is due, …

35
It’s that time again — the annual birthday post. It’s funny, what people tell you is true — the older you get, the quicker the years go. Ah well, that’s the nature of life, is it not? Change, as well, is the nature of things. The world, and our lives, are ever changing whether we …

I Don’t Like The Term “Metroidvania,” But Not For The Reason You May Think
Apparently there’s been a bit of drama surrounding the term “Metroidvania” recently. This has come mainly in the form of gaming journalism (you know, the hotbed of genius that is) saying that the term isn’t “accessible” to outsiders. or other crap related to how specific of a term it is in structure. I only even …

No, The PlayStation 5 Is Not Going To Look Like This
I absolutely hate the time period before any new gaming gadget is released as it’s the time when the internet rumor mill is at its strongest and damn near everyone is chomping at the bit for information on stuff they won’t be able to buy for months. These people get so obsessed with information that …

Remember Vine, that annoying as hell 6 second video sharing service that was big in the early-mid 2010’s, that service that Twitter bought, kept around for a while then killed off in 2016? The one that spawned the “careers” of many an annoying and, in some cases, controversial to be internet celebrities (I’m looking at …

I Still Haven’t Opened My PlayStation Classic. Seriously.
Loyal readers may recall back on Amazon Prime Day I ordered a PlayStation Classic. After nearly a month it finally arrived and I just let it sit there and not get opened. That hasn’t changed at all. Yep. Over 5 months have passed, and I’ve still not bothered to even open it and mess with …
