We had been back in school for just about a Month. It was early in my Junior year, and it seemed like a pretty typical Tuesday. I don’t recall getting ready that day, but it is funny the things you do remember. In my case, I recall us on the bus discussing the upcoming episode […]
YouTube user Thunderf00t, a scientist who also happens to make videos about a wide variety of subjects, has spent quite a bit of time in the week following the Falcon 9 explosion studying the event in detail and formulating his own ideas as to why the vehicle exploded – more accurately, describing the variables that […]
Something I failed to dive into during my article last night on the short lived nature of hardware hacking scenes was the fact that so much of the software that is written for these systems, once modded, seems to disappear over time, becoming harder and harder to download and try out as each month passes. […]
I spent Tuesday this week reading old posts on hackmii.com, a Wii homebrew website, learning everything I could about the history of the Wii homebrew scene (at least, what is documented on that site) and trying to understand what I can about how the Nintendo Wii actually works. I’m a big fan of the actual […]
For the past couple of weeks now, I haven’t been posting nearly as much as I have wanted to, and while I have cranked out a few YouTube videos, there has been a noticeable decrease in content being created by me on a whole. As part of my transparency to my readers, and for the […]
I’ve written before about how I have somehow got interested in collecting HD-DVD format films. They are a cheap way to get a high quality film experience that, while not as good as modern Blu-Ray, is still better than a standard DVD. It is, however, a dead format, and has been since 2008. All the […]
Over the past 25 years, no item on the tech sphere has become as ubiquitous as the personal computer. Be it a Windows based machine, a Mac, or in the rare case of the tech savvy user, a Linux machine, virtually everyone owns at least one traditional machine. Sadly, much like smart phones and tablets, […]
As I make known enough for what it’s worth, my “day job” is in retail. Now, I do like what I do, but like any job it invariably has it’s less desirable moments. I sometimes share those, for what they are worth in either an educational sense, or just out of curiosity, for those who […]
Alright, I just wanted to throw out an update post to let readers know that some good things are coming soon to the site. It’s been a busier than normal week for me, and I’ve had countless articles and projects delayed. I’ve got videos coming to the YouTube channel along with plenty of articles, more […]
It happens all the time, in virtually every conversation. You are making whatever point you have, be it something mundane, or something major, and, somehow, you realize you are arguing something you didn’t even say, or, better off, didn’t mean. Someone has changed the subject on you, via some method or another, and by the […]
All too often I’m put into arguments that are absolutely pointless simply because someone else is too lazy to use simple context clues and understand what the point being made actually is. The end result is someone arguing a strawman of your position, rather than the actual statement you are making. Yes, this is a […]
James Rolfe, best known for his online video series “The Angry Video Game Nerd” is quite the fan of cinematography, the actual process of movie making. While the AVGN online web series is his best known work, and certainly makes up a vast majority of his video production work, James has produced well over 400 […]
As is always the case with every single new thing ever, the rumors continue to fly about Nintendo’s next console, the NX. Now, I’ve already heard that it is supposedly going to be more powerful than anything else on the market, and somehow be able to run other games in their native code (I call […]
This whole article should go without saying – it shouldn’t need to be made, but screw it, I need to vent about this. YouTube comments are, as the title states, absolute garbage, in many ways worse than most of the internet as far as open commentary goes, and it’s really pathetic that this is the […]
Sunday afternoon, while killing some time at a local mall, I wrote up a post on Pokemon Go. It wasn’t anything special, but it was a post nonetheless about something amazingly popular at the moment. I had some thoughts to share, and well, felt like sharing them – a mostly positive post from the point […]
