I know, I’ know — I’m beyond late for writing about this. Get over it, I wanted to weigh in myself on this hilarious little attempt Best Buy made back in late April on getting rid of some of their certainly slow-moving stock of the PlayStation Classic console. Here’s what the deal was – on […]
When you have a site like mine, one which has had well over 1000 entries posted over the years, things become a bit of a mess to maintain. It isn’t just as much an issue with tagging and overall organization, but actual site resources — old images you don’t use anymore being the main issue. […]
Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) is happening right now in San Jose, California and, as you can imagine, the tech world is focused on this event as sharply as they can be on every aspect of this event, given it sets the stage for the next year of professional end computing and the Apple […]
Here we have a bit of a unique AVGN episode. The game being focused on is a well enough known “bad” game for the system, called “Deadly Towers.” This time, however, the video script was a chance for the fans to participate in the production of an episode! The way it worked was this: As […]
It’s been a bit of a strange week for Xadara. I haven’t posted much in about a week, but my site traffic has been higher than it has in a long time for reasons I just can’t quite understand. The other weekend I had a spike in traffic which made sense – I was writing […]
Back in July of 2018 I wrote an article (YouTube Is *Still* Showing Me Channels I’ve Unsubscribed From In My Subscription Feed) discussing YouTube showing channels I’ve unsubscribed to in my subscription feed – a problem that many seem to have. I can presume others are having this issue, anyway, for one simple reason: the […]
In a last effort for me to milk the Firefox add-on issue from over this weekend, and to at least let people who may find the page know what’s up, Firefox release 66.0.4 was made available yesterday and contains in its release notes: “Repaired certificate chain to re-enable web extensions that had been disable” The […]
So, Microsoft finally got around to putting up the May Games With Gold video… 3 days late. Yep, they waited until May 3rd to upload it. Go figure. Whatever. We’ll cover it just like we do every Games with Gold announcement, so without any further delay, let’s get to it. It can’t be all bad, […]
Last night was a pretty big mess for Firefox users (like myself) as the add-on functionality of the browser was, effectively, completely broken, due to an issue involving a security certificate expiring, rendering every add-on for the browser invalid. To put it really simply, a while back Mozilla began validating add-ons themselves, giving them a […]
I was preparing for another late night of getting articles out for you when, while chatting with a friend on Facebook I got an alert that one of the plugins I use on the site was no longer active. I was surprised, but thought little of it until I noticed I was seeing ads on […]
As regular readers know, I like to cover the “Games with Gold” game selection every month by sharing the official video from Microsoft alongside my comments on each game, as presented in the video. If I know more about the game or have an opinion on it outside of Games with Gold, I’ll share that […]
Oh boy, another one of these. Why do I put myself through this monthly game of “make promises and never deliver them?” Oh, right, because I’m crazy like that. 🙂 Anyway, on to the question – What’s coming for the next month? The answer is exactly what you would expect: Stuff. I’ll put it this […]
I know what you’re expecting — you came here wanting to read what I have to say about the trailer, as a Sonic The Hedgehog fan. You want me to watch it and get mad at what they’ve done; you want me to flip out over every little detail that’s wrong or odd or otherwise […]
It’s been a while since my last post. Damn near a week, in fact. I feel like every moment I get closer to really having a proper article flow here, something comes up which throws a wrench in the works, and of course because I’m transparent as a sheet of glass on what’s going on […]
35 years ago today, in 1984, Apple held an event, appropriately named “Apple II Forever” where they launched the then new Apple IIc, a portable version of the incredibly successful Apple II computer. The event itself was designed to show Apple’s continued commitment to the Apple II computer line in spite of the Macintosh having […]
