I Just Can’t Do The Online Gaming Discussion Scene Anymore
I’ve been thinking quite a bit recently about my time in the online gaming scene — especially the past 2 or 3 years — and I’ve come to realize I simply can’t do it anymore. The scene has become virtually nothing but a might-makes-right popularity contest where passion, knowledge, and logic mean nothing — do […]
Project Phoenix
File this one under “Chris writing about the blog he barely updates” but, fuck it, I wanted to get October off to an optimistic start. As we all know, the past nearly two years hasn’t been all that great — Covid has been a constant pain in our ass and we’ve seen stupidity on top […]
October 2021 Xbox Live Games With Gold
All right, it’s October now which means not just Halloween season is upon us but also time for a look at a new set games in the Games with Gold lineup. In the modern lineup we get Aeero and Hover. Ah, simple title names I don’t have to constantly triple check the spelling of as […]
September 2021 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Fashionably late to the party, here’s the September 2021 Games with Gold lineup. Is it good? Is it bad? Well, that’s what we’re here to take a look at. We open up with Warhammer: Chaosbane and Mulaka. Another Warhammer game? Mkay, this one is another rogue-like (or “Diablo Clone, if you prefer) and while I […]
I Started A Phone Company. No, Seriously.
All the way back in October of last year I wrote an entry called “I’m a Phreak” where I laid out what my most recent extreme interest has become — the old telephone network of the 20th century, and all that entails — the history, the technology, the stories, the rise and fall of The […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 135: Darkwing Duck – Episode Review
We’re long overdue for taking a look at a Nerd episode. Way too long overdue — Cinemassacre is back to pretty regular AVGN episodes, along with other content and it’s about time I do the same. Picking up where we left off we have Episode 135: Darkwing Duck for the TurboGrafx-16 (pronounced “Turbo Graphics Sixteen” […]
The Gateway From Hell
Here we have a story as old as time — or at least, one as old as how long I’ve lived in this house. This is the tale of my absolutely rage endeucing internet gateway, a constant pain in my ass since 2013. That’s where the story begins, actually – July 2013 and me moving […]
August 2021 Xbox Live Games With Gold
It’s bloody hot. Too hot to go out and do anything, so why not stay inside and game? Okay, that was an introduction to this entry, but seriously, it is hot out there – August is here and with the new month are new Games with Gold and, amazingly, I’m actually getting to covering them […]
July 2021 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Damnit, I was late on this one again. I’ve been busy, though, and let time kind of run away with me. Well, at least I’m getting to them before the middle of the month. Right, let’s get down to it: We open up with Planet Alpha and rock of Ages 3: Make & Break for […]
An Update On Every Single Project I’m Working On
Given the past year has been one of me heavily neglecting this site (give or take, anyway,) I thought it might be good to do, for those interested. an update entry every major project I’m working on, so, if you’ve been wondering, well, here’s your answer. Right, no more fluff, let’s get right to it: […]
Let’s Get Back On Track
I’ve been neglecting this site for far too long. I know, I know, I’ve written probably a dozen entries this past year on just this subject, but it’s really starting to get to me that I go nearly a month between posts now, when I used to do near daily entries about something which caught […]
