HBO’s Chernobyl And Possible Plagiarism – A Deep Look

Yesterday I wrote about an email I had received regarding an article I had written well over a year ago about the Chernobyl Disaster. More specifically, the article shared a video I had found which had a visual effect of Ukrainian text for what was spoken in actual recordings of calls made to fire dispatch …

Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch, An Email From Ukraine, And HBO’s Chernobyl – A Strange Story

Back in April of 2018 I wrote a short article for the 32nd Anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster titled “The Chernobyl Disaster – Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch.” It was a simple article where I shared a video I had found by the same title which had audio recordings of calls made to firefighting …

The Fun Stuff To Come – An Update

I mentioned a while a go that I’ve had a few idea on content I’d like to write — namely, a couple of review series which I think would be pretty fun to do, and would attract an audience. As you can imagine I naturally enjoy writing about things that I, well, enjoy. That’s obvious, …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 61: CD-i Part III – Zelda’s Adventure – Episode Review

Alright, we’re at the end of the Angry Video Game Nerd Phillips CD-i Trilogy! What a terrible show it’s been so far. I mean, the CD-i and the games presented, not the Nerd, he’s great here! Honestly these are some pretty good “golden age” Nerd episodes, and this one is a great ending to the …

Happy 4th Of July 2019! (With More Bonus Rocket Launches!)

It’s the 4th of July and, in what’s becoming a tradition here, instead of typical fireworks I like to celebrate online with something with a little more power behind it – rockets. Old launches, more recent ones, it doesn’t matter to me, I just enjoy seeing these machines do their thing. These aren’t all going …

Reddit And Computer Elitism (Or, How Not To Actually Answer A Question) – Part 2

Yesterday I told the story of what happened on Reddit when my friend Prince Watercress decided to ask a relatively simple tech support question in the Windows 10 subreddit. To put the relatively long story short, while one person provided actual advice (from their own experience) which didn’t solve the problem but was still helpful, …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 58: Frankenstein – Episode Review

Moving directly on from the previous episode on Dracula games, we have James covering games based on the Frankenstein story, with a nice little twist thrown in for his classic Halloween theatrics.

My Top 10 Michael Jackson Songs

A few years ago I wrote an article titled “My Top 10 80’s Songs That Aren’t By Michael Jackson.” That article was written with the intention that I would do a top 10 Michael Jackson song list, and as you can tell from the title, this is that article. Today, June 25th 2019, marks 10 …
