They say the only thing constant is change. As much as I hate to admit it, they (whomever “they” actually are) are correct — it seems, in the end, the only thing you can really count on always happening is some form of change. It’s inevitable. Be it something natural, like a forest or a …

What’s Coming For March 2020 On Xadara
At the start of February I said that “change” was coming to the site – a slightly different focus and flow was going to be the name of the game, so to speak. March is, honestly, going to be no different. I got a little sidetracked in implementing some of my plans this past month …

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 7: Some Final Thoughts And Things I’ve Noticed

Introducing “Now Playing” – A Look At Whatever Game I May Be Enjoying At That Moment
I’ve recently finally really taken time to enjoy just sitting back and playing games again; I worked my way through Halo: Reach again recently and right now have been finally working through Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

A Final Commentary On The Whole PlayStation Classic Power Supply Mess
Over a year and a half ago in September of 2018, following the announcement of the PlayStation classic I wrote an entry on the then-hot subject of it not coming with any kind of power supply — you were expected to provide your own USB power supply, rated at 1 Amp. I felt this wasn’t …

Spam Showcase Vol. 3: The First Horizon Bank Scam Texts
Here’s a bit of a different one in the world of spam, at least for me — text messages claiming that my First Horizon Bank account has been locked and that I need to log into the website to unlock it. Normally, I try to cover spam that’s somewhat funny, but this one is a …

Well, here we are. Episode 100 of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it this far with these reviews — I figured I’d get maybe 10 or 20 in and then get tired of it. Nope. That’s not the case, and today we’re taking a look back to the (then) …

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 6: How Well Does This Thing Actually Perform?
Last time I went over the learning experience that actually was modding the PAL PlayStation 3 console I wound up with. It wasn’t the worst process to do, but man is it not explained well; at least, not in any video or written work I found in a cursory search. Regardless, I got things working …

The Only Articles I Truly Regret Writing
If you’re any kind of creative individual you will likely relate to the fact that, inevitably, something you create will become something you wind up regretting.

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 99: Star Wars – Episode Review
This is one of those Angry Video Game Nerd episodes that was seemingly destined to happen.

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 98: Day Dreamin’ Davey – Episode Review
It’s time for a bit more of a traditional Nerd episode. This time the Nerd is taking a look at Day Dreamin’ Davey on the NES. This is a bit of an interesting case since, instead the usual suspects like LJN being behind this game in some way, it was developed by HAL laboratories, the …
