I feel like I normally doom myself to procrastination when I speak of upcoming plans for the site, but the past few days have proven fruitful writing, and I’m feeling optimistic, so why not take a chance, right? I’ll be keeping this short, as I really just wanted to put up a list of subjects …

Apex Legends: First Impressions
After a long enough download phase, I finally gave Apex Legends a shot earlier and, as I said last night, I’m writing my first impressions here now. Let’s get the formalities out of the way – this isn’t a review this is just a capturing of my first thoughts. This is after all of 30 …

Before I Try Apex Legends…
I wanted to get my thoughts out on Apex Legends here on launch day before I give the game a try. It’s very rare that I would do something like this but for this game, well, I felt it at least worth doing, and getting thoughts out before I play it — when my opinion …

About Those Recent Xbox Live Outages
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 …

This Post Brought To You Buy A Dead Graphics Card
Nothing lasts forever. Things break down over time, and inevitably everything needs to be replaced. This is something most people grow to accept pretty early in life, but no matter how used to this fact you get, it still sucks when something does fail, especially unexpectedly. In this case, as the title suggests, the graphics …

I Replaced My First PlayStation 4 HDMI Port The Other Day
In case you didn’t know, PlayStation 4 consoles, mainly the original series but this is still somewhat true with the Slimline models, have incredibly fragile HDMI ports. While no HDMI port will withstand deliberate attempts to break it, PlayStation 4 ports seem to break far more readily than most any other console in the past …

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 …

Sony Inadvertently Leaks Player Totals For (Possibly) Every PS4 Game
Sony has a bit of a history of security failures over the years – PSN being hacked on multiple occasions, among other incidents, being the first that come to mind. Of course, such is common enough with most any major company — things happen. However, this case is a little more interesting in both what …

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 …
