The evening of July 20th was spent with me watching the entirety of the Apollo 11 moonwalk as it had happened 50 years ago on that same date. I knew the whole event was only about 2 hours long but, like everything about watching the mission in real time, it was amazing to me how […]
Six and a half hours after landing on the Lunar surface on July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to step onto another celestial body. A goal set by President Kennedy back in 1961, and a dream that many cultures in humanity had had for centuries in the past had […]
I just completed watching the Apollo 11 landing in real time, and all I can say, in short form, was it was an incredible experience. I’ve watched the footage before — recall a few years ago I shared the PDI to touchdown footage, but I’ve never experienced the landing in its full context like the […]
This is it. Today is July 20th, 2019. The 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. To say that I’m excited would be an understatement — it’s just something different to think it’s been 50 years, half a century, since this event. I remember the 25th anniversary well enough (I have a poster related […]
It took a while, but we made it through Season 3 of The Angry Video Game Nerd! That only took about 11 months, but it’s done, and quite a ride it was! This was the point where I’d say the series really began to reach its peak. It was during this time James moved into […]
We’re at the final episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd Season 3 and to finish things off we’re looking at… Milon’s Secret Castle. Really? Milon’s Secret Castle? This is a strange one and a game that I would think, up until this episode was made back in 2009, not many people had even heard […]
No, really, I *may* have ordered one, as I’m not sure if the order will actually be processed! As a part of Amazon Prime day I decided to go ahead and get a PlayStation Classic – they were only $20, and for that I’d buy one as an emulation box, at the very least, if […]
The massive online retailer Amazon just finished up its “Prime Day” sale, a mid summer event where they offer deals which would normally be reserved for people with a “prime” subscription. At least, that’s the idea, there are claims all around the internet each year that the prices shoot up and then sales are taken […]
Today is the day. July 16th, 2019 marks 50 years to the day since the launch of Apollo 11 and humanities first landing on the Moon — an event which, to me, is the single greatest accomplishment in human history. It’s amazing how quickly we got to this point – from the Write Brothers first […]
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 […]
Time for another Angry Video Game Nerd episode review, and this time we have The Nerd’s review of Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis! This episode was filmed just a few months before Michael Jackson’s death and as such speaks of him in the present-tense when opening the video, contrasting how many forget that a man […]
It’s Christmas in July! Okay, not really, this is just how the scheduling (if you can call it that) for these episode reviews worked out, so today we’re taking a look at the second “Bible Games” Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This one is a bit of an interesting one — it was the first […]
In the past year as I’ve finally dived into the Mac OS ecosystem, one feature which stuck out to me as incredibly useful was “Back to my Mac”, an iCloud based system which allowed any computer running any version of Mac OS X / Mac OS from 10.7 Lion to 10.13 High Sierra to be […]
Been a while since I wrote about a space related topic, hasn’t it? Well, I couldn’t let today go by at all without at least covering the sad end of one of my favorite parts of space history – Skylab. Today, July 11th, marks 40 years since Skylab re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere over the Indian […]
Yesterday I wrote about an email I had received regarding an article I had written well over a year ago about the Chernobyl Disaster. More specifically, the article shared a video I had found which had a visual effect of Ukrainian text for what was spoken in actual recordings of calls made to fire dispatch […]
