In a bit of current gaming news that spawned some “discussion” worth commenting on, Microsoft had some issues this past week regarding their Xbox Live service. Now, I didn’t pay too much attention to this for two reasons – one, I was busy, and two, when I did fire up my Xbox One during said …

The 2019 Plans of Prince Watercress
Continuing a tradition started last year, I’ve decided to devote an entry today to the plans of my good buddy Prince Watercress. He’s certainly an awesome friend, and one of the most prolific content creators I’ve ever known. I’m completely serious. To give you a very simple summary, this guy has: a retrogaming blog, a …

What’s Coming For 2019
I’m a bit late to the party writing this one up, but as is tradition for the first post of the new year I’m taking to writing my possibly overly optimistic plans for the next 365 days or so. Right, let’s get to it. 2018 proved to be a rough year, much like 2017. My …

January 2019 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Woohoo! It’s about to be a new year and with that comes, well, a new month and new Games with Gold. 2018 wasn’t a bad year by any means – it had its high and low points, but on a whole provided a good selection of games and a few that I enjoyed checking out. …

Christmas Memories Part 3 – Sony PlayStation 2, 2003
2003 would prove to be one of the most, shall we say, interesting years of my life. I’ll spare the details but it was chaotic, to say the least, and at a point during it much of what I owned was stolen. Not a great start to your adult life, but I learned quite a …

Christmas Memories Part 2 – Sony PlayStation, 1998
When you’re young, 5 years is a long time. By 1998 I was 13 and in the 8th grade. Gaming wise I had gotten a SNES a year beforehand, in 1997, from a friend of the family (as SNES consoles were relatively cheap by this time) since my Genesis had long ago been broken, and …

Christmas Memories Part 1 – Sega Genesis, 1993
Being the age I am December 25th brings back fond memories of the Christmas days of my youth. This year was no different in that regard, but this year I noticed an odd pattern regarding those years and the “major” gift each year. Namely, the years 1993, 1998, and 2003. 25, 20, and 15 years …

The Incredible Failure That Is The PlayStation Classic
When the PlayStation Classic was announced in September 2018 I was pretty optimistic, as most of the internet seemed. The much-beloved PlayStation getting a “flashback” style console akin to what Nintendo did with the NES and SNES Classic Edition consoles seemed like a great idea. What could go wrong? The PlayStation had an amazing game …

Powering The PlayStation Classic – A Follow Up
This Entry Has Been Superseded By This Article: A Final Commentary On The Whole PlayStation Classic Power Supply Mess Over the past few days since the release of the PlayStation Classic, my article from several months ago titled “So The PlayStation Classic Doesn’t Come With A Power Supply, And That’s Absolutely Fine” somewhat blew up …

December 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Well now, it’s the end of the year. Time for one last set of games, and here we have… well, it’s games. I’ll spare the intro and get right to the video and my thoughts on this end of the year set of free games. Let’s begin! On the Xbox One, we have Q.U.B.E. 2 …

The Computer Chronicles – Computer Entrepreneurs (1984)
The early days of the computer revolution were an incredible time for people who happened to have the right combination of skills, money, and just plain luck – a successful combination for anyone, sure, but especially so in the computer revolution of the late 70’s and early 80’s. Well known examples of this are people …

So, Should You Buy A PlayStation Classic?
In the time span since the announcement of the PlayStation Classic and the subsequent announcement of the 20 games on the console, there’s been quite a bit of debate on if this latest mini retro console is actually something you should buy. People have done comparisons on the value of actual PS1 hardware and the …

Cinemassacre – The AtmosFearic Garage of the Supernatural
Here we have part 2 of the History of Haunted Tours, “The AtmosFearic Garage of the Supernatural.” Yes, it’s as corny as you can imagine, in a good way, of course. This was James’ last haunted house and as such it was not only his best (at least, we can presume so) but he also …

Cinemassacre – History of Haunted Tours (1993-1998)
Ah, Halloween, pretty much my favorite time of the year. I’m certainly not alone in feeling this way, of course, and one of the many people who shares this opinion of that oh so spooky end to October is James Rolfe! Of course, if you’ve seen any of his Monster Madness videos from the past …
