It’s been a little while since any major space related news, but then again it’s been a rather quiet front on the side of launches of note – or at least, ones I feel it good to write about. In this case, we have another SpaceX Falcon 9 launch, this one of a communications satellite […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 150: Polybius
Since I’m planning to eventually review every single episode of the series (probably a never ending task, as I think about it) I’ve been avoiding covering AVGN episodes on release – as nice as it would be to hit them while they are hot, I feel like I might wind up, down the line, running […]
The Kinect Is Dead
So, in more gaming news over the past few days, Microsoft announced that they were ending sales of the Kinect accessory and, I can only presume, no more game software will be released that supports, or at least none that will absolutely require, the device. I’d say, about time. While the Kinect in principle isn’t […]
November 2017 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Looks like Microsoft released this list a little later than they normally would, but that’s okay. Here we have the next set of Games with Gold for November, 2017, and honestly, even I’ll admit, this is a pretty pathetic list. Let’s begin: On the Xbox one we have Trackmania Turbo and Tales from the Borderlands. […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 26: Sega 32X – Episode Review
The Nerd takes a look at another Sega Genesis add-on, the 32X.
Web Servers, Inodes, And Doing What I Want Online
This one is going to get a little bit technical, so try to keep with me. As with the vast majority of the web, this site is hosted on a Linux based server. Of course, like any computer, this has practical, and logistical limitations. My hosting package is pretty nice and quite liberal with what […]
It’s Over For Lego Dimensions
More gaming news regarding things ending, Lego Dimensions – the youngest of the main 3 “Toy to Life” video games – is no longer going to have any new figure or level releases. This comes after the game being on the market for just over 2 years of what is reported to be a 3 […]
Windows 95 – A First Look (1996 VHS Tape)
Windows 95 was a big change to how many people used their computers. Beyond introducing the Start Menu, it was in some ways so different that it could prove difficult for many users to adapt to. To that end, many companies produced VHS tapes designed to help ease people into the new, but very capable, […]
The Nintendo Wii Shop Is Shutting Down In 2019
The online shop on the Nintendo Wii is being shut down in an oddly long phase out over 2018 and 2019. For those who don’t know, or have forgotten, the Nintendo Wii shop was a feature of the console where you could buy additional software (Wiiware, as it was known) for the console, as well […]
The New Raw Thrills Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Game – A First Look
Reports are popping up left and right on game journalism sites about a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game coming soon – those reports are true because, as some articles hinted at, there is actually a test location machine out in the wild! In this case, by sheer coincidence a social media connection I […]
China’s Tiangong-1 Space Station – Out Of Control And Coming Down
Forgive me for the title – I needed something that wasn’t the same “Tiangong-1 Will Crash Into Earth” article title that every other place covering this seems to be using. The statement is true, though. For whatever reason, contact and control of Tiangong-1 was lost in early 2016, and over the past year and a […]
I Ain’t Dead Yet – An Update
The past 2 days have been quite inactive for a good reason – I’ve been quite ill! I don’t say this to alarm anyone, but for the sake of clarity and giving readers a slice into my life. This is a personal website, right? To keep a long story short, from early Thursday until late […]
The Great GIF Debate Redux
Long time readers will recall sometime in early 2016 I wrote an article titled “The Great GIF Debate” where I laid down my thoughts and points on the pronunciation of the “GIF” file format. Last night I had a friend share a joke image regarding this pronunciation, and when another person chimed in on how […]
It’s Been A Very Busy Month For Space Related Subjects – An Update
I feel like this month has been far more active on the Space subject than previous months for me – that is, on the end of launches and active flights. I’m actually overdue on mentioning a few other launches since they all occurred around the same time as the launches that I have covered – […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 25: Sega CD – Episode Review
In this Angry Video Game Nerd video, the Nerd takes a look at the Sega-CD console, an add-on for the Sega Genesis which, as the name suggests, used Compact Disc media for game storage.
Spoiler — it isn’t very good.
