I write about gaming quite a bit here. It’s one of my main hobbies and something I’ve enjoyed for as long as I can remember. The thing is, I don’t actually sit down and play games as often as people may think, or as I’d like to. While you may think I spend all my […]
I mentioned a while a go that I’ve had a few idea on content I’d like to write — namely, a couple of review series which I think would be pretty fun to do, and would attract an audience. As you can imagine I naturally enjoy writing about things that I, well, enjoy. That’s obvious, […]
It’s the 4th of July and, in what’s becoming a tradition here, instead of typical fireworks I like to celebrate online with something with a little more power behind it – rockets. Old launches, more recent ones, it doesn’t matter to me, I just enjoy seeing these machines do their thing. These aren’t all going […]
We’re at the end of the month, which means another update article on this chaotic little site I like to call my digital home. We’re at the middle of the year now – 2019 is halfway done and so far, eh, it’s been an okay year. I’ve been busy, a bit more busy than I […]
From time to time I like to give a little space for my friend Prince Watercress to share thoughts, comments, what have you. Today I thought I’d give our echidna obsessed friend a chance to share his comments on New Coke. He ordered some the same time I did, and, in retrospect, had this to […]
Yes, I know it’s quite the dramatic title. Figured I’d use tactics that were common on YouTube to get some extra attention to this article — more than it already would get naturally. “Play their game” as they say. The other night I finally committed to a decision I had been considering for some time […]
When you have a site like mine, one which has had well over 1000 entries posted over the years, things become a bit of a mess to maintain. It isn’t just as much an issue with tagging and overall organization, but actual site resources — old images you don’t use anymore being the main issue. […]
Way back in the far off space year of 2016 I wrote an article titled “The Review Plan” where I discussed the basic ideas I had for reviewing media of all types. I outlined my 1 to 5 rating scale and a few thoughts and ideas on how things would go. It seemed straightforward but […]
Oh, is it really the start of another month already? It seems like May was quite short, but that was probably due to a combination of being extremely busy followed by extremely sick throughout the entire month! Anyway, right, what’s the plan? I obviously haven’t been able to get to as much this past month […]
It’s amazing how long it takes to actually fully get over some illnesses. In my case, I’m fighting the tail end of that sinus crud that’s pretty much been pulling me down all month, and while I didn’t miss much work due to it, I haven’t had the energy or drive to write stuff here. […]
Oh yes, it’s time for another one of these posts. As you can tell it’s been kind of dead around here recently, and that’s not for lack of trying. I’ve been rather sick the past few days, in a buildup that’s been about 2 weeks in the making! I’ll keep this brief, but I felt […]
It’s been a bit of a strange week for Xadara. I haven’t posted much in about a week, but my site traffic has been higher than it has in a long time for reasons I just can’t quite understand. The other weekend I had a spike in traffic which made sense – I was writing […]
It’s been about a good week since the last post here on Xadara and I felt like updating everyone – at least, in short form – on what’s been going on. It’s been a pretty active and rather chaotic week for me. Between preparing for Free Video Game Day at work (this past Saturday, which […]
Oh boy, another one of these. Why do I put myself through this monthly game of “make promises and never deliver them?” Oh, right, because I’m crazy like that. 🙂 Anyway, on to the question – What’s coming for the next month? The answer is exactly what you would expect: Stuff. I’ll put it this […]
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 […]
