I’ve mentioned before about the massive backlog I have of articles to write, Many of them are so far gone from being important that they just aren’t worth it. Others are, at most, a week old and are still relevant enough. The internet, however, seems to want to run on its own time — a …

The “Casual” vs “Actual” Decade
It’s now the year 2020, and everyone, as they tend to be year after year, is celebrating the new year as some kind of chance for new beginnings as well as taking the time to look back over the past, and with this being a big round number everyone is also talking about how we’re …

What’s Coming For 2020 On Xadara
Here we go, the first post of 2020 and of course it’s the obligatory “What’s Coming” post. You can’t say I’m not starting off optimistically, right? Right, let’s begin. First thing I’d say is it stands right now I’m hoping to keep up with my post schedule. It really has made things better on a …

A Look Back At 2019 On Xadara
Well, that’s it. The final post of the year, the one where I take a look back at the previous 365 or so days and ask myself “was this all worth it?” Okay, not really, but I like to see what all happened over the past year. As I kind of “go with the flow” …

2009 Me Would Have Hated 2019 Me
Earlier this year I realized something — in a great many ways I’ve pulled a complete 180 from who I used to be a decade ago. Namely in opinions about some topics, preferences for some things and general interests. It’s kind of funny to think back, but given the stuff that can happen to a …

A Week Of Transition
Here we are, the final day or so of 2019. While I’m not one to get into the whole “new years resolution” thing (mostly due to the arbitrary nature of years, more on that in the future maybe (joke not intended)) I am one to take the opportunity of such an event to shake things …

How To Care For Your Xbox One Or PlayStation 4
With the Christmas holiday behind us I thought I’d do something nice for the community at large, for what its worth, and share some simple tips on taking care of the console you, or a friend, may have gotten (new or used, it’s all the same here), all from the perspective of someone who’s been …

Christmas Memories – Sega Game Gear, 1994
Another Christmas has come and gone and, being the nostalgic person I am, I realized much like Christmas of 2018 marked 25 years since I got my Sega Genesis as a kid, this Christmas marked 25 years since I got a Game Gear, Sega’s very awesome (and very battery hungry) portable console of the early …

Angry Video Game Nerd – Season 4 Review
Ah, Season 4 of The Angry Video Game Nerd. My favorite season by far for a great many reasons. Firstly, it was the first season I began watching as it was new, and thus marks the point where I was “current” with the series. I do believe the Metal Gear review was the first one …

The Darkest Part Of Every “Apocalypse” Scare – The Scams And Lies
Today happens to be December 21st. Many of you may recall back in 2012 (that’s 7 years ago now) everyone was talking about this whole “Mayan Apocalypse” thing, as one of their calendars happened to end on that date. Well, it actually didn’t, as it was misinterpreted, and the Mayan calendar naturally had beginning and …

January 2020 Xbox Live Games With Gold
In the past I’ve mentioned how late Microsoft can be about putting out the Games with Gold video for each month — sometimes waiting until a few days into that month to get it up. This time, they jumped the holiday gun early and pushed out the video on the 19th! That’s right, a week …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 89: Pong Consoles – Episode Review
Ah, Pong. Not the first video game, but the first one to really become popular. Through the mid 70’s Pong was pretty much it — the genesis of gaming in our cultural consciousness. In the wake of the success of the original arcade hit, a home version was made. Then another, and another, with tons …

Has Scheduling Improved My Writing? I Think So.
Ah yes, another one of those oddly meta “blog entries about blogging.” I’m mostly writing this one because, as with most of December, it’s been a bit of a long day and I don’t feel like cranking out anything more substantial. In any case, over the past few months I’ve set myself up with a …

A Look Back At 30 Years Of The Simpsons
Ah, The Simpsons. A show I pretty much grew up with; as much as one really could say with regards to a television series, anyway. Today, December 17th, 2019 marks 30 years since the premier of The Simpsons as a stand-alone television show, starting with that holiday classic “Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire.“ Honestly, …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 88: Swordquest – Episode Review
The Atari era of gaming was something special. It was a time period where things were kind of wild and companies were throwing pretty much anything out there to see what would take. Atari itself, as a company, was doing wonderfully and the VCS, later renamed the 2600, was dominating the gaming scene. This success …
