Might as well cover this one while it’s still somewhat hot – here we have the trailer for the next expansion to Destiny 2, this one titled “Forsaken.” Given the track record for Destiny 2 content in the public eye, I’m not expecting too much from this one. Yeah, I still play Destiny.. sometimes.. when …

The Chaotic Mess That Is Any Attempt For Me To Cover E3
I don’t know what I was thinking in trying to cover E3 this year. This entire event is, quite simply, far too massive for me to take a stab at given I’m just one person, and I don’t even like E3 all that much to begin with. The core presentations alone are far too much …

The Full Nintendo Direct E3 2018 Presentation
Finishing out the “big 3” presentations for E3 2018, we have the Nintendo Direct stream from earlier today. The big deal for this one is, of course, details on the new Super Smash Bros. game, titled “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” but Nintendo did cover a solid assortment of new titles, some in greater detail than …

The Full Playstation E3 2018 Presentation
Following up from the rather massive Microsoft / Xbox presentation, here we have the full Sony presentation at E3 2018. Now, I paid zero attention to this presentation. Why? Because I don’t have a Playstation 4, and the gist of what Sony offers doesn’t interest me. That simple. There are some cool games I would …

The Full Xbox E3 2018 Briefing
Might as well get to the bulk of my E3 coverage this year: the actual presentation by the major players — at least, the ones I care to share here directly. As I’ve made known over the years, I only pay as much attention to E3 as I need to to be aware of what’s …

Fun Factory At Redondo Beach Pier
You don’t see much of arcades anymore. Over the past decade they have all but disappeared in all but the most touristy, high casual traffic areas of the United States. In the video shared below, YouTuber AdamTheWoo takes a look at the “Fun Factory” arcade at Redondo Beach Pier near Los Angeles, California. This looks …

The Xbox E3 2018 Briefing In Under 3 Minutes
Every year I make it a point to only halfway care about E3. The event is generally just a concerted hype show and nothing more at this stage, about as outdated to me as many consider newspapers and the like. That being said, I’m still a gamer, and still have to pay some attention to …

New Old Computers, A Week Off, And More – An Update
Oh, hi. You might remember me. My name is Chris, and I’m the guy who used to write an article a day here at Xadara, but over the past 6 months has cut back on this, much to his own displeasure. As much as I’m trying to get back to heavy writing, I wind up …

June 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Every year, before E3 Microsoft seems to really get behind on some of their monthly videos – in this case, the “Games with Gold” videos at the end of each month which show you what next months games are going to be. At least, I want to say E3 preparation is the cause of the …

The Xbox 360 Has Its First System Update In 2 Years. Yes, Seriously.
Last night I fired up one of my Xbox 360’s for a little bit of gaming before bed. I was rather surprised when I did turn the console on to discover I had a system update waiting. This would be the first update in 2 years, to a console that’s well past end of life …

Game Player’s Gametape Vol. 1 No. 8
Time to take another break from the usual, and take a look at the next Game Player’s Game Tape, this being tape 8 of the series. For those of you new to these tapes, they were produced in the late 80’s and early 90’s by the company responsible for the then new “Game Player’s” magazine …

Bits And Bytes – Series Review
Over the past year I took some time to cover every episode of the 1983 Canadian TV series “Bits and Bytes.” This was a television program designed to give its viewers some insight into the then-new home computer scene, covering basic principles of computing, showing some things you can do with various computers of the …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 36: Halloween – Episode Review
That’s right, we’re doing back to back Nerd episode reviews. In this case, we hit the second half of the Halloween 2007 videos, the other Atari 2600 game James bought in the last episode… Halloween. This game is, debatably, a little better. It’s got it’s own gory elements, much like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but at …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 35: Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Episode Review
Here we have the first of the Halloween 2007 Angry Video Game Nerd videos. This one focuses on the rather rare Atari 2600 game “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” which is based on the movie of the same name. At least, it’s supposed to be, but given this is Atari, things are, well, up for …

Free Video Game Day 2018
Today was quite the interesting one in the gaming community, and was something I actually wasn’t aware of till just a few weeks ago: Free Video Game Day. It functions much like Free Comic Book Day does for, well, the comic book community. The different is FCBD is sponsored by the comic book industry, directly …
