Those Game Reviews ARE Coming. Seriously.
2020 has been a hell of a year for pretty much everyone on Earth. As is obvious I’ve even stepped away quite a bit from this website and many related projects (although my work in the BBS scene took over, so it wasn’t time wasted) and this has caused obvious delays in, well, everything. I’ve …

Giving Destiny 2 Yet Another Go Before The Vault Reset
For those not in the know, the MMO FPS Destiny 2 is going through what amounts to a massive reset come November 10th with the release of the Beyond Light expansion. In very basic form, much of what currently makes up Destiny 2, some of which has been there since the beginning, is going to …

I Tried To Preorder An Xbox Series S – That Went Down Like A Lead Balloon
Can’t blame me for trying, right? This morning I got up and waited for the stroke of 10 A.M. central time for Xbox Series S/X preorders to begin, hoping there was a chance I might be able to secure one. I failed in that task. Trust me, I wasn’t seriously expecting to actually snag one, …

Don’t Underplay Microsoft’s Acquisition Of Bethesda
The big news topic right now in gaming is Microsoft announcing this morning the purchase of ZeniMax Media and, by virtue of this purchase their acquisition of Bethesda, among some other smaller studios.

Why I’ve Chosen To Get The Xbox Series S
Gaming is, very clearly from this site, a major hobby of mine, at least in the context of it’s very important to me. I actually don’t play games as often as one would think – I spend quite a bit of time working on various projects and rarely actually find time to sit down and …

Sorry PlayStation Fans, Twitter Likes Only Matter For, Well, Twitter
What a case of deja-vu: I feel like I wrote an article virtually identical to this one back in January. Oh, wait, that’s because I did. That’s right, the PlayStation fan base is already on the absurdity of somehow using social media reaction to judge something being better, or otherwise more liked on a whole …

The Xbox Series X And Xbox Series S: So Much To Say, So Little Time
I had no idea the other day when Microsoft announced the Xbox Series S that so much information would be put out in such a short time regarding not only the S, but the final price of the X (499, as I and others expected once the S was announced) but also the launch date …

Xbox Series S Rumors Confirmed – An Interesting Play On Microsoft’s Part
While I haven’t been paying as close attention as one would think to the upcoming release of new Xbox and PlayStation hardware (blame work and the toxic nature of the online community for that one) I had been active enough to notice people discussing a product mentioned on Xbox gift cards and the like described …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 107: Schwarzenegger Games – Episode Review
To quote James in the opening of this video: “I’m back.” That’s right, I’m back to continue my insane project of reviewing every Angry Video Game Nerd episode and next up on the list is a video focusing on games based on films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

September 2020 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Here we have the Games with Gold lineup for September 2020. It’s been quite the hit or miss year – many blame a focus on Gamepass for “killing” the Games with Gold lineup, something I find to be quite the over-posted comment without any reasoning behind it. Regardless of the reason, the lineup has been …

After the pretty terrible showing last month from the Games with Gold lineup, I’ve gotta say I wasn’t hoping for much this time around.
