Just a quick heads up for those of you who are following my new podcast, XadaraCast, I just wanted to provide a minor heads up that I’ve changed the file formats for episode 1 and episode 2 from .ogg to .mp3. For some reason, the .ogg file format isn’t as well supported as it should […]
This months Games With Gold list is something else. Another 4 great games, for free, what’s not to love? Okay, the games range from titles that are probably alright to ones known to be absolutely awesome, and vary in genre, so your mileage may vary. They are, of course, free with an active Xbox Live […]
Right now it’s almost 3AM on October 25th, and I’m beginning this mini-article, which will be retroactively dated to the 24th, just to keep up with the perfect month of at least one-a-day posts I’ve been doing October. WordPress is great like that, you can just fudge things if need be. Today has been quite […]
So, just as I expected, the Switch is not going to be able to play (at least physically) Wii, WiiU, or 3DS titles. This isn’t surprising, since the console uses a physical cartridge port, rather than an optical drive, for games. What I’m surprised at, although I still expected it, is how upset people are […]
When I wrote earlier about the announcement of the Switch, I said that it was “Exactly what I thought it was going to be.” I didn’t quite explain it well, which happens when I first get writing about something spur-of-the-moment. I thought I should explain myself better. We all knew the NX was going to […]
Today Nintendo finally made a proper announcement on the project previously known as Nintendo NX – It’s now known as Nintendo Switch. Not the best name, but not as bad as Wii and WiiU. Seriously Nintendo, hire a new naming person. Anyway, this comes after over a year of rumors, reported into leaks, and more. […]
No, I still can’t get past the insanity a few weeks ago on YouTube when I brought up the fact that the SpaceX booster has a large number of engines, and that increases the chance for something to go catastrophically wrong. To recap, not only did people get mad at me over even daring to […]
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 […]
Game Journalist Jim Sterling released a video in his Jimquisition series this week which discussed, quite critically, the current state of, and concept in general of virtual reality. I wrote earlier this year about some of my criticisms of the entire idea, and practical application of VR on a whole. To sum it up, because […]
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 […]
Hello awesome readers! Today I had a few articles planned, but I got delayed by a wonderful little project today, that being a computer from 2002 that I picked up for all of 10 dollars, and it works fine. Well, it works fine from a machine standpoint. However, the machine, as it was, needed work. […]
The European Space Agencies Rosetta mission ended today, September 30th, with the crash landing of the Rosetta spacecraft on comet 67P, its primary target over its 12 year mission. Even though its original launch was delayed resulting in a change of target, and its secondary payload, the Philae lander, had a much shorter mission than […]
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 […]
Today marked the release of the final Destiny expansion, The Rise of Iron. Yes, that’s right, the final expansion. That “10 year plan” they spoke of apparently only went for 3, going in to 4 years. Their next plan is to release a full on new game, currently spoken of as “Destiny 2” and to […]
I don’t know all that much about horses. At least, not to the degree people who do ride and care for them, and who would own a store dedicated to them would. I do know they are expensive creatures, as are the items related to them; even the things you wear when riding can be […]
