What If The Dreamcast Had Survived?
Last month marked 20 years since the release of the Sega Dreamcast console in the United States.

The Computer Chronicles – Secrets of Word Perfect (1992)
It’s been a while since we’ve taken a look at a Computer Chronicles episode, so tonight I thought it might be fun to take a look at this 1992 episode on Word Perfect. Word Perfect was a very popular piece of word processing software in the 90’s and early 90’s, only relenting dominance of the …

Copyright Honestly Isn’t That Hard Of A Concept To Understand
Ah, Copyright, something that most everyone in the internet age is at the very least aware of thanks to the ease of copying media in the digital age and the ubiquity of “issues” people have tended to have, primarily on YouTube, involving the concept.

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 74: Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties – Episode Review
Ah, here we have one of the best episodes of “The Angry Video Game Nerd;” Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties. The game in question is, as I can best class it, a “storytelling” game for the short lived 3DO platform, an early CD-ROM based 32-bit system, with all the quirks and nuances you would expect of …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 73: Mario Is Missing! – Episode Review
It’s time for a trip into “Edutainment” territory here with some Mario games which I’m quite certain disappointed every single kid in the early 90’s – Mario is Missing and Mario’s Time Machine.
