Here’s a pretty awesome video I found a little while back and just now am getting to covering – a tour of the Disc Manufacturing Inc. compact disc production plant, showing the process by which CD’s were actually made in their facilities per customer requests. The video is of course a promotional one designed to […]
In a strange mistake by Microsoft, this video was released slightly early, back around the 18th or 19th. It’s since been unlisted, which doesn’t stop me from showing it to you now, so, here we are! Not to give away the ending too early, but this is one of the best months in a very […]
This isn’t something that actually surprises me, given the nature of capitalism and the ability for marketing to make people pay for damn near anything, but seeing that it’s actually a thing now amazes me. There are now services you can pay for that will set up video game consoles. Yes, seriously. And yes, they […]
Since their inception computers have been business tools, machines designed to assist their user in efficiently doing work. It’s not a foreign concept to most of us – we all certainly use computers in some form in our day to day lives, some of us more in-depth than others. While the same was true in […]
So, we all know how YouTube has been, apparently, stealthily unsubscribing people from various channels over the past few years. This is a pretty well documented trend that is quite the annoyance for most users of the site, especially when compounded with how the site now no longer seems to wish to show people some, or […]
A new month, a new set of free games on via Games With Gold on Xbox. I don’t know why I enjoy covering these – I guess it’s funny, to me, to see just how random the game selections are each month. Besides, it gets hits, so it’s whatever. Right, you know the drill, let’s […]
Here we go, time to cover one of the more popular episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd! This time around, the Nerd doesn’t take a look at a game – oh no, he takes a look at the one thing that every kid who grew up playing Nintendo wanted other than the next new […]
It’s been a while since we took a trip back to 1989 and these old tapes discussing strategies on various games for the Nintendo Entertainment System, so we might as well get back to em! In this case, Volume 1, Tape 7. This tape features the games: A Boy And His Blob, Rolling Thunder, Castlevania, […]
This is a rather interesting, albeit outright strange episode of the Computer Chronicles. It discuses a concept known as the “Fifth Generation Computer” which when you first hear it sounds like a discussion on computers produced around the time of this episode, 1984. That’s not actually the case: The term “Fifth Generation Computer” in this […]
This weekend a visiting friend and I decided to grab a snack at McDonalds. He proposed some nuggets which got me thinking this might be a good chance for me to actually go and give that Szechuan sauce a try. I only haven’t had the stuff in, oh, 20 years, since the original 1998 Mulan […]
I’m not one to care too much for speed runs in games – while there are ardent followers of these record attempts, I find them an interesting curiosity at best. That being said, the ways in which players figure out nuances of the games in order to shave off fractions of seconds and achieve new […]
Back in October, McDonalds re-released their 1998 Szechuan sauce in conjunction as part of a promotion for their new buttermilk crispy chicken tenders. This promotion was heavily themed in a style similar to the cartoon Rick and Morty, a cartoon which early in 2017 had made mention of the long-gone Szechuan sauce, resulting in many […]
Time to go over the March 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold. This looks like it’s going to be a… fun.. month? Oh who am I kidding, this is one of the more strange ones. Let’s just get into it. Okay, for the Xbox One we have Trials of the Blood Dragon and Superhot. There.. […]
We’re going to step back just a tad to 2017 and the event on YouTube known as the “Adpocalypse.” The Adpocalypse was a major slashing in income earned on YouTube from advertising, due to multiple factors, the greatest of which being ads simply not being run on certain videos deemed unsuitable, due to reasons we […]
Oh, look, it’s February 14th, Valentines Day. Hooray, or not, depending on who you are – you may love the day, or may not care much for it. In whatever case, I felt like it might be fun to share every Valentines Day Special video that one of my favorite YouTubers, Ashens, has done! In […]
