I know what you’re expecting — you came here wanting to read what I have to say about the trailer, as a Sonic The Hedgehog fan. You want me to watch it and get mad at what they’ve done; you want me to flip out over every little detail that’s wrong or odd or otherwise […]
It’s been a while since my last post. Damn near a week, in fact. I feel like every moment I get closer to really having a proper article flow here, something comes up which throws a wrench in the works, and of course because I’m transparent as a sheet of glass on what’s going on […]
35 years ago today, in 1984, Apple held an event, appropriately named “Apple II Forever” where they launched the then new Apple IIc, a portable version of the incredibly successful Apple II computer. The event itself was designed to show Apple’s continued commitment to the Apple II computer line in spite of the Macintosh having […]
Today, April 21st 2019 Marks 30 years since the release of the Nintendo Game Boy in Japan. While the US would have to wait until July 31st, 1989 to get the console, and Europe even longer, today is the day that little brick of a portable gaming system hit the market, and oh did it […]
I’m a few days late on covering this, but the slightly crazy situation my friend Prince Watercress had with the website GameAnyone is, well, I wouldn’t call it over, but it’s come to a resolution. You can read Part 1 and Part 2 at the following links – I won’t explain the entire situation here […]
While I have been a little less active this week than the last week, anyone visiting the site will notice that the two most recent articles, one on the sinking of the Titanic and the other on the recent fire at Notre-Dame, are on rather serious subjects – this on a blog which normally covers […]
Along with history, another subject I’m quite fond of is architecture, and one particular class of building design that captivates me is the “Medieval Gothic” style, predominantly French Gothic architecture, and no building in the world best demonstrates this than Notre-Dame de Paris. The beauty of the building is absolutely indescribable, and it’s been something […]
Tonight, April 14th / 15th, 2019, marks 107 years since the sinking of the RMS Titanic. In fact, right now as I begin to write this, 10:31 PM Central Time, would have been 12:33 or so AM the morning of the 15th, 1912, for the Titanic – she would have struck the iceberg 50 minutes […]
Remember MySpace? The social network that was dominant before Facebook? They made news last month due to (somehow) losing all the music ever uploaded to the site from 2003 to 2015, apparently during a routine server migration. Yep, all that data just gone, no proper backups, no real recovery or redundancy plan, no nothing. Yeah, […]
As I’m sure most everyone has seen, a few days ago on April 10th the first photo ever of a Black Hole was released. An object that in effect should be impossible to visualize was captured, thanks to a lucky arrangement of the gasses surrounding the object. The entire story on just how it was […]
Today, April 12th, marked a few things – the 38th anniversary of the first Space Shuttle Flight, the 58th anniversary of the first manned space flight, Vostok 1, and the release of the teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode IX – The Rise Of Skywalker. No, a film trailer isn’t as important as those events, […]
A few days ago I shared the strange discovery my friend Prince Watercress made in that a game walkthrough / let’s play sharing site known as “GameAnyone” apparently has a tactic of making “fake” accounts for various content creators, auto publishing content they create or share to the platform without that content creators consent. Note: […]
I hope this is the last I have to write about HTTPS and this site. I’m going to keep this one short and to the point, but I feel I’m going to have to commit to HTTPS only going forward with this site. This isn’t what I want to do, but in the week or […]
Moving on immediately from the last episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, we have James, dressed as Batman and playing various Batman video games, being held captive by Mike Matei, playing the Joke, forcing the Nerd to play more Batman games, these having more of a focus on the Joker himself rather than more […]
Moving right into more DC territory after Superman, we have not one but two episodes devoted to Batman games! This set of games is a bit more promising than the previous Superman games we looked at, and in this set of videos James goes all out in more classic, themed Angry Video Game Nerd style, […]
