At least, if you want to buy a new one. It indeed looks like the WiiU is done with retail sales. I haven’t seen hide nor hair of one since before Christmas, and upon checking the day job, the console is sure enough in a discontinued status for sales. It’s only a matter of time …

2017
Well, here we are. It’s the year 2017. Damn… that sounds futuristic as hell doesn’t it? Of course, I’ll be saying that about every forever, so it is what it is – 1984 sounded like the future way back when, after all, so it’s all relative. In any case, another year is upon us, and …

Re: 27 Things People From Memphis Have To Explain To Out-Of-Towners
I finally rediscovered an article, a year later, which I wanted to write about and contrast much like I did the previous Re: 21 Things You Have To Explain to Out-of-Towners About Memphis article. Notice how all these articles, from all these random sites, are so nearly identically written? Funny how these clone websites actually provide …

Firefox Support For Windows XP and Vista Ending In 2017
The popular web browser Firefox appears to finally be ending support for Windows XP and Vista based systems “sometime in 2017” based on this article from Computerworld. Firefox looks to be the last holdout on the major web browser side of things to still support the, in all honesty, ancient operating system. Microsoft ended support …

Rumor: Nintendo Recalling The WiiU?
Crossing my radar today is an article from a few days ago on the website WGG (never heard of it before today) stating that it would seem the WiiU, which we now know is no longer produced in any capacity, is no longer properly available, at least from Best Buy. I can’t say at all …

Carrie Fisher
I didn’t expect to wake up today to the news of the death of Carrie Fisher. The last reports I had read were that she was stable after her heart attack a few days ago, and it seemed like she would recover, and hopefully be back to herself soon enough. Sadly, this wouldn’t be the …

25 Years Ago – The End of the Soviet Union
It’s by a strange coincidence that I would write a small article late yesterday about the city of Pripyat, Ukraine – the city where the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was located. It’s explosion is one of many events that is called “the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union” and while writing that article …

Pripyat
Since hearing about the movement and successful installation of the Shelter Object at the remains of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, I’ve been in a weak version what I call a “Chernobyl” mood, where I’ve been hunting for information, photos, and videos of the subject off and on this past month. Nothing too out of …

2016 Takes Another Artist: George Michael
I didn’t expect to write anything else today. I expected to get down to enjoying the holiday with friends and family. During a lull between events, I hopped on twitter to find a tweet, only a minute or so old, from the BBC saying that George Michael, the more prominent member of the 1980’s band …

Last Minute Shoppers
It never ceases to amaze me how many people decide the days right before an event are the optimum time to purcahse gifts and other items for that event. These same people are then amazed when the stores are out of stock of items, and quickly complain about lines being backed up and everything taking …

2017 Plans: An Update
2016 was a hell of a year. It had its good points, its bad points, and all in all, it was pretty much just like any other given year. The biggest element was about halfway through the year a focus change in my efforts from YouTube to this site proper. This was a change that …

The Eurolovers YouTube Channel – A Follow Up
A little while back I wrote about the eurobeat music YouTube channel “Eurolovers” being taken down. Following that, I found out that someone had shared it on Reddit, not once now, but twice. Not only that, it has also been mentioned on Eurobeat Prime, one of, if not the top Eurobeat fan site out there. …

The Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 143: Sega Genesis Accessories
Just like October means Halloween and with it a horror themed episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd series, December means a holiday themed episode. This year, it looks like James decided to go with more of a comedy skit than general review style video, which is fine with me, although many fans aren’t happy …
