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 […]
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” […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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: […]
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 […]
Yesterday was May 4th. Star Wars day to many. While I consider myself certainly a fan of the franchise, I honestly find May 4th a bit annoying. The date doesn’t actually have anything to do with Star Wars or George Lucas — it’s not the latters’ birthday or the release date of any film in […]
As is obvious to anyone visiting this site I’ve been quite distant from it, and quite a bit of social media, over the past few months. This has been a way for me to clear my mind, or at least, an attempt to. I’ve been focusing heavily on other projects and shying away from the […]
It’s been a while since we looked at an AVGN episode, so why not jump back into the craziness with the next episode, Hong Kong 97?! This is one of those fan request type episodes, but a good one given Hong Kong 97 was, at the time at least, one of the more mysterious games […]
Ah, February has proven to be as dead a month here as January was. This isn’t for lack of desire, simply lack of time: I’ve simply been too busy with work and various other projects to actually write new entries. It hasn’t been a waste, however – I’ve made quite a bit of progress on […]
Last week I was planning to ease into the year with some “lighter” subject matter, ranging between some tech projects I’ve been working on to things a bit more serious but still nothing too extreme — some light social commentary. Then Wednesday happened – the Capitol “Siege” that has somehow been the most hilarious yet […]
Every year I like to share the thoughts of my partner in crime, Prince Watercress, regarding the previous year and the upcoming one. His ceaseless stream of Let’s Plays and wrestling recaps are nothing short of incredible in their sheer volume and detail, and he’s really carved out a niche for himself – he handles […]
It goes without saying that 2020 proved to be one hell of a year. While for me it actually wasn’t all that bad, beyond a major spot in the early portion of Spring, it was still a rough one between work, personal life, and my online existence. Still, it was also a year of growth […]
Would you believe I didn’t even find out about the event until nearly 12 hours after it happened? Yeah, I had apparently stayed off social media so well on Christmas day that it wasn’t until near 5PM that I learned anything had even occurred in my states capital! So, we know the deal – early […]
