As I have mentioned a few times before on here, I’m a big fan of a music genre known as “Eurobeat.” Imagine 80’s pop gone, well, a little insane, and you kind of have an idea on what Eurobeat is. If you are familiar with Italio Disco, then you know the basic sound already. Interestingly, […]
I’ve mentioned before, primarily on my own podcast, that I absolutely love the YouTube channel “The Drunken Peasants.” This podcast, usually 2 hours in length, produced 3 times a week, has been one of my favorite things to watch online for over 2 years. As their slogan goes, “covering news from an altered perspective” they […]
Lewis’s Tech is somewhat of a legend among the anti-scammer community, and this video can quickly show you some reasons why. I’m sharing it not just for how fun this one is, but how quick it is to watch, at only 10 minutes, it goes over quite a bit. We have the usual remote support […]
In XadaraCast Episode 3, Prince Watercress and I discussed phone scammers, namely, IRS scammers. At a point in the podcast, I made comment about how they behave, and wondered how it was people were stupid enough to fall for them. Without context, though, this almost could seem like I’m insulting people, and I wanted to […]
[UPDATE – THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN ABANDONED. THIS IS A LEGACY POST] XadaraCast Episode 3 is out now. In this episode we cover quite a few subjects, from the NES Classic release, various subjects regarding twitter, and at the end, a hilarious case of someone renting a movie from redbox for it to be porn! […]
As an Xbox gamer, this is an email I actually received, and thought not much of it: The email, entitled “GGGGGRRRAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH” somehow, in some way, offended people! Okay, more correctly, apparently there was a version that used the text “NNNNNGGGGHHHHAAAAAA” In either case this is an innocuous advert for a zombie game which just happens […]
Well known in the United States as a general small business services store, with a slight focus on technology such as computers, printers, and the like, Office Depot (and the somewhat recently merged Office Max) have been accused of running an in-store tech support scam. This is an accusation I certainly would believe, not just […]
I meant to get this post out last week, but I got caught up in quite a bit of stuff. Go figure! I also haven’t been posting as much about tech scammers, but it’s somewhat hard to do properly – there are so many videos with so much content that all really kind of is […]
Apparently Twitter is losing money at a rate large enough for them to not only lay off 9% of its total staff, but it’s killing off Vine, it’s video sharing service for 6 second looping video clips. Good riddance I say. Sure, some people used vine for more interesting clips; Voice actress Tara Strong, for […]
Mark, of Classic Game Room, released yesterday another video acting as a “preview” for his patreon exclusive content and it was met, once again, with quite the backlash. His 2 minute preview videos that then ask people to donate on Patreon just aren’t cutting it, and people are calling him out on it. Something I […]
YouTube is absolutely filled with video game reviewers of all types. The only way to be successful is to stand out above the rest, and one particular series, Classic Game Room, has done that successfully for almost a decade now. What started as an internet TV show way back at the turn of the millennium […]
Social media, by design, is an outlet for people to express themselves, and share their opinions. Anyone with any active social media presence will inevitably see someone, somewhere “complaining” about something, and if you are the average person, it probably annoys you. Hold that thought, for a moment. Them sharing their opinion annoys you, does […]
Not that I care whatsoever for such outright silly superstition, but it has to be said, because those posts are annoying the hell out of me. No, your Astrological sign didn’t change 1: NASA has nothing to do with such (I never understand why anything at all related to space has to magically have NASA […]
When you think of Nintendo, you think Mario, Pokemon, Metroid. When you think of Sega, you think Sonic. When you think of Marvel, you think Iron Man, Spider-Man, The Hulk. When you think of DC Comics, you think of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. These are all intellectual properties protected under a law statute known as […]
Last week I introduced you to the concept of the tech support scam. I only scratched the surface in that article, hitting on some of the absolute most common tactics used by support scammers. Today, I felt it good to share a video of these guys in action. Enter Carey Holzman, a computer tech with […]
