Gaming is, very clearly from this site, a major hobby of mine, at least in the context of it’s very important to me. I actually don’t play games as often as one would think – I spend quite a bit of time working on various projects and rarely actually find time to sit down and […]
What a case of deja-vu: I feel like I wrote an article virtually identical to this one back in January. Oh, wait, that’s because I did. That’s right, the PlayStation fan base is already on the absurdity of somehow using social media reaction to judge something being better, or otherwise more liked on a whole […]
A few years ago I got bit by the “BBS” bug – a phenomena among some of us in the vintage technology scene to hunt down and experience the pre-internet culture of Bulletin Board Systems. Contrary to popular belief, these services are still alive and well in the 21st century, albeit adapted for and living […]
I had no idea the other day when Microsoft announced the Xbox Series S that so much information would be put out in such a short time regarding not only the S, but the final price of the X (499, as I and others expected once the S was announced) but also the launch date […]
I got an email yesterday evening from YouTube regarding their partner program and some upcoming changes to it — the long and the short of it is they will no longer be allowing people to pre-sign the contract associated with the program; you’ll have to wait until you meet their stupid threshold to monetize before […]
After waking up early this morning to learn of the announcement of the Xbox Series S’s existence it should come as no surprise that Microsoft put out a video today promoting the upcoming hardware. It’s quite a nice looking piece, to say the least – I’ve rather enjoyed the style that Microsoft has been promoting […]
While I haven’t been paying as close attention as one would think to the upcoming release of new Xbox and PlayStation hardware (blame work and the toxic nature of the online community for that one) I had been active enough to notice people discussing a product mentioned on Xbox gift cards and the like described […]
If you’ve visited the site before, you know I like to update the look of things from time to time. That’s common – everyone does that, be it an individual and one of their social media accounts or a business completely rebranding itself (like Intel did recently.) In my case, I wanted to freshen up […]
Late last year I attempted to begin a series where I reviewed all 259 episodes of the animated comedy series King of the Hill. The show is one I absolutely loved during its run from 1997 to 2009/2010 and in syndication during and after this time span. As a bit of a tribute to it […]
To quote James in the opening of this video: “I’m back.” That’s right, I’m back to continue my insane project of reviewing every Angry Video Game Nerd episode and next up on the list is a video focusing on games based on films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This was the first episode to come after the […]
Time to enter another month of what has to be one of, if not the single craziest year of our lives. September 2020 is looking to be another wild time in the real world and as an escape from all of that I’m happy to say I’m about ready to get the ball rolling, as […]
Here we have the Games with Gold lineup for September 2020. It’s been quite the hit or miss year – many blame a focus on Gamepass for “killing” the Games with Gold lineup, something I find to be quite the over-posted comment without any reasoning behind it. Regardless of the reason, the lineup has been […]
I mentioned in the last post that I’ve been, quite literally, putting off the inevitable of getting back to publishing content to this site. It is, after all, my “main” presence online – my hobby, my method of expression to the greater world. It’s certainly not something I’m just going to give up, even if […]
I’ve been doing an incredibly good job at accomplishing absolutely nothing over the past few months with regards to this website. It’s one of those cases where once you break the habit of working on it, you never get back to it. That hasn’t been intentional, but the past 4 months have been quite transformative […]
Over the past few months I’ve written very little. I’ve been making a lot of time for myself, working on some other projects which I intend to write about here and, most critically, somewhat stepping away from so many things which are a source of stress in my life. Be it stupidity online, situations in […]
