Yep. A new month is upon us and as always that means another excuse for me to write what amounts to a filler post disguised as an update. Yeah, it’s real content but content that only those who read every post will care about. Then again that’s who it’s targeted at, so I guess it […]
Considering how many old computers I’ve been messing with recently (only a very few of which I’ve gotten around to writing about) it’s only natural that as part of my trying them out I’d take them for a spin on the web. Yeah yeah, dangerous to do and all that jazz, but when you only […]
You know the deal – new month, new games. I’m not wanting to draw out this intro as, honestly, writing about these feels like a bit of a chore but it’s sometimes nice to get to address something about these games that may (or may not be) mentioned in the Microsoft video, and this month […]
This article is going to be written presuming you at least know a bit about the history of the Macintosh and Mac OS X in the early years. If not, I’ll leave some links for reading in the article, but I’ll hope to explain things well enough that it all makes sense on that alone. […]
We all get Spam email. It’s quite simply a fact of the internet. What’s more, the vast, and I mean vast majority of the spam email received is also some kind of scam in some form — be it the classic “Nigerian Prince” scam, the old school “malware in an attachment” email which now will […]
Ah, Star Trek – a well beloved staple of Sci-Fi culture, and a franchise which has had its fair share of video games, some good, some bad, all seeming to do what they can to capture at least some aspect of the series. In this episode, James takes a look at a few of these […]
Ah, Indiana Jones. A rather well loved film series from the same man who brought us Star Wars… and a film series which seems to have gotten the same treatment as Star Wars all those years later. This Angry Video Game Nerd episode focuses on games from the Indiana Jones trilogy and was released originally […]
I’ve been running this website in some capacity nonstop for 12 years now. Bloody hell! It’s honestly kind of amazing that I’ve been keeping at this for as long as I have, given all the ups and downs over the past decade plus, both online and in my personal life. The rough early days where […]
I’m in the market for a new phone right now. Having been an Android user who went to Windows Phone then back to Android for the past few years, I’m pretty certain I’m wanting to grab an iPhone this time around. In fact, I already know the one I’m wanting to get – no, not […]
Today, March 12th, 2019, marks effectively the 30th birthday of the World Wide Web; the most well known aspect of the greater computer network known as the internet. More accurately, today marks the 30th anniversary of Tim Berners-Lee the “father” of the Web, submitted his paper, titled ” Information Management: A Proposal” to CERN, which […]
Following up from the end of the previous episode, this time The Nerd takes a look at many accessories produced for the Nintendo Entertainment System during its life. Really, it’s a subject that a book could easily be written on, but here I think James does an okay job demonstrating some of the items available […]
Far back into last year (far longer ago than it should have been) I wrote about an idea I had to cover the BBC Computer Literacy Project here on Xadara. It being a major part of computer history and one that, as the title implies, is very much British, I felt taking a look at […]
Finally back to the chaos that is my attempt to review every Angry Video Game Nerd episode, we hit the amazing Super Mario Bros. 3 episode! Yep, just as the Nerd himself says in the opening, he’s reviewing a good game. One of the best, if you ask me. It’s a bit of an interesting […]
I know, I know, it’s already March 5th, almost 6th as I write this, but hey, I haven’t done an update since last months “Coming Soon” article which I thought would feel more natural than these, but in retrospect was even more forced feeling! Instead of talking specifics, I’ll be a bit more general on […]
I had a long post planned here, but didn’t feel it was quite right, so I’ll try to keep this as short as possible. No, I won’t have the usual in depth explanations of what I mean here – I’ve done enough of that, and and won’t waste my time explaining it further. People choose […]
