I hope this is the last I have to write about HTTPS and this site. I’m going to keep this one short and to the point, but I feel I’m going to have to commit to HTTPS only going forward with this site. This isn’t what I want to do, but in the week or …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 53: Batman: Part II – Episode Review
Moving on immediately from the last episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, we have James, dressed as Batman and playing various Batman video games, being held captive by Mike Matei, playing the Joke, forcing the Nerd to play more Batman games, these having more of a focus on the Joker himself rather than more …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 52: Batman: Part I – Episode Review
Moving right into more DC territory after Superman, we have not one but two episodes devoted to Batman games! This set of games is a bit more promising than the previous Superman games we looked at, and in this set of videos James goes all out in more classic, themed Angry Video Game Nerd style, …

No, XLink Kai And Xbox Live Are Not The Same Thing
When I originally noticed that flub in the April 2019 Xbox Live Games With Gold video saying that online game play modes were available for Star Wars BattleFront 2, an original Xbox game, I made the comment that “there is no way to play Original Xbox games online.” That’s not entirely correct, but for the …

Microsoft “Fixed” The April Games With Gold Video Saying You Could Play Battlefront 2 “Online” – Why Did It Matter Anyway?
You may recall when I published my article on the April 2019 Games With Gold game announcement video that there was something I had serious contention with: the statement that there were “online gameplay modes” available for Star Wars Battlefront 2. Why was this such a bad thing to say? Because, the original Xbox Live …

The Strange Case Of GameAnyone And Auto-Generated Accounts
There are a ton of gaming websites out there. One which I’ve never heard of is gameanyone.com. It appears to be more of a content aggregate site, mainly a place to post gaming related video links from YouTube and the like, alongside it having its own discussion forums, apparently. At least, this is what I …

I Gave Destiny 2 Another Chance – It’s Changed, But Is Still The Same…
I mentioned the other week about having not played Destiny 2 for nearly a year, and that I wanted to get back to it as on a whole I really do enjoy the game and would love to play it more, but I had gotten kind of bored with it as it began to just …

More HTTPS Annoyance… I Think, Anyway
Yesterday was a bit of a mess for me publishing anything. I had a bit more intended than what I got out (which was only the review of AVGN episode 51) but with limited time to actually write and publish I had to pick my battle, and that article was the one I decided to …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 51: Superman 64 – Episode Review
Here’s an episode that, at the time, fans of The Angry Video Game Nerd were begging for – Superman on the Nintendo 64. However, since fans like to call it “Superman 64” James takes this opportunity for a joke he can’t even keep a straight face through – he opens by covering a Superman game …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 50: Superman – Episode Review
Oh, look, we’ve finally made it up to episode 50. Damn, that took longer than it should have. For perspective, we’re up to the Summer of 2008 in AVGN history. At this time the show was a major hit, and showed no signs of slowing down. In fact, production at this stage began to ramp …

Goodbye Google+. I’ll (Somewhat) Miss You
Today, April 2nd, 2019, marks the death of Google+, Google’s much maligned social network service. For many, this is something that has been a long time coming, but I actually have a different outlook on this event. The reason? I actually liked what Google+ was! At least, in general idea, and a few things it …

What’s Coming For April 2019 On Xadara
Yep. A new month is upon us and as always that means another excuse for me to write what amounts to a filler post disguised as an update. Yeah, it’s real content but content that only those who read every post will care about. Then again that’s who it’s targeted at, so I guess it …

The Pains Of TLS / SSL And Old Web Browsers
Considering how many old computers I’ve been messing with recently (only a very few of which I’ve gotten around to writing about) it’s only natural that as part of my trying them out I’d take them for a spin on the web. Yeah yeah, dangerous to do and all that jazz, but when you only …

April 2019 Xbox Live Games With Gold
You know the deal – new month, new games. I’m not wanting to draw out this intro as, honestly, writing about these feels like a bit of a chore but it’s sometimes nice to get to address something about these games that may (or may not be) mentioned in the Microsoft video, and this month …

Installing “Classic” On My Power Mac G5 – The Hard Way
This article is going to be written presuming you at least know a bit about the history of the Macintosh and Mac OS X in the early years. If not, I’ll leave some links for reading in the article, but I’ll hope to explain things well enough that it all makes sense on that alone. …
