Here we have the finale of Jim Browning’s “Bank Login Scam” video series. In part one he showed from his end one of these scams in action and was successfully able to bait the scammer into installing a remote access tool into their computer giving Jim access to the scammer’s machine. In part two, Jim […]
Now we get to the meat of Jim Browning’s Bank Login Scam video series. In this part, we get to see behind the scenes what is actually going on with the scammers computers, and how this all works. If you haven’t seen and read about Part One, check it out here! In part one, Jim, […]
It’s time for another set of scammer videos from none other than our good friend Jim Browning. Today we have the first in a trio of videos he produced this past summer on scammers going through very.. obtuse, shall we say, methods, to get into a victims bank account, and how he got into their […]
Oh, it’s the first of the month. Might as well get this article written because, why not, right? August wasn’t a bad month, I’d say. The highlight was, of course, the Parker Solar Probe launch, which was a hell of a show. I got quite a bit of progress done on fleshing out the site […]
Time to get into Season 3 of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and this particular season starts off rather strong with the Nerd’s review of Nintendo’s first true failure of a gaming system, the Virtual Boy. The Virtual Boy is quite the unique console, seemingly designed for virtual reality, it really never got much further […]
As I’ve been slowly documenting, I’ve had quite a few Macintosh computers enter my digital life recently, and naturally I want to incorporate these machines into my workflow. Sure, I’m a blogger primarily, and you can do that on damn near any machine that can manage to run the WordPress back end, but I feel […]
I thought I’d take a bit before we get into Season 3 of Angry Video Game Nerd episodes to express just why I’m reviewing all of these episodes, as well as touch on a few other points on James and the Nerd series that are worth me saying here. The very short answer to the […]
It took over a year to do, but the episode reviews for AVGN Season 2 are complete. I’ve covered all 24 episodes and it’s a strange thing to do – going back over these videos somewhat nostalgically and taking a slightly different look at them, trying to figure out just what makes them work, for […]
Time to finish off Season 2 of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and we have quite the review to go out on – Rambo, on the NES! Now, this is a game I actually had for my NES when I was a kid. I have vague memories of playing it and not having a good […]
As I said I wanted to do in a previous update, comments here on Xadara are now open to whomever – no registration required, unlike how things had been for the past, oh, 5 years or more. It is my hope that this will spawn healthy discussion and fun conversation about the subject of the […]
We have another odd Nerd episode here – one discussing the timeline for “The Legend of Zelda” game series, at least as it was in 2006. This comes off the previous “Movie and Video Game sequels” video, but was shelved, only to be tweaked a bit and released in January 2008, making it out of […]
As I mentioned in a pair of previous articles, I’m beginning a slight cleanup of Xadara. By slight, I mean probably 50 articles being deleted, and a shift to the general structure of the site. Of course, this is all for the better. Regarding articles, I want to clear up some of the more negative […]
I’ve been on the internet for a long time. Well, not that long, but long enough to remember when people had web pages and not whole sites. Not often, anyway, did an individual have their own complex site. I remember when message boards were something special, IM chats were actually fun, and most importantly (for […]
I consider myself a moderately tech savvy person. I’m not some kind of expert, but I manage to keep this website up and running. I understand in general what’s going on, the logic of a PHP database and other things, at least far enough to keep things functioning here. So, when I got the news […]
In an article I wrote back in April, titled “I’m Quite Certain YouTube Is Re-Subbing Me To Channels I’ve Unsubscribed To!” I discussed that YouTube was showing in my subscription feed channels which I was certain I’ve unsubscribed to. Well, it’s still happening. I’m not just sure it’s happening this time, I *know* it is […]
