Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 20: Atari 5200 – Episode Review
First Thoughts On Sonic Mania
I’m a huge fan of the Classic Sonic the Hedgehog games, so Sonic Mania was a game I just had to play day 1, and play I did. I actually played for quite a few hours today a somewhat rare thing for me to do, and I had a hell of a good time. That […]
SpaceX CRS-12 Successfully Launches To The International Space Station
Today marked another Falcon 9 launch, carrying a Dragon cargo spacecraft on a resupply mission to the International, Space Station. As usual, it was a nominal launch with a successful first stage landing, and successful insertion into orbit of the Dragon spacecraft which should be getting to the Space Station about the time I publish […]
The WatchMojo Public Relations Fail Explained – By Top Hat Gaming Man
Continuing with the WatchMojo Public Relations nightmare of the past few days, we have Top Hat Gaming Man back with another video explaining this situation with a little more nuance, and a little more detail and focus on the issue at hand: The hostile elements of the “apology” that was sent to Larry Bundy jr, […]
WatchMojo Responds To Top Hat Gaming Man’s Video
In the previous article, I shared a video from Top Hat Gaming Man regarding the issue WatchMojo stealing research from GuruLarry regarding video game consoles which failed to sell. Not just that, alone, but also the quite rude email they sent to Larry regarding this after they had taken the video down – this itself […]
WatchMojo Steals Research From YouTuber Guru Larry
Ah, another day, another batch of insanity on the internet. Today, we have an event that happened yesterday and I just now got to writing about: WatchMojo, you know, the YouTube channel that does nonstop top 10 lists? Yeah, apparently they stole the research that YouTube content creator Guru Larry had done for his “Worst […]
Repairing the Melcor 390 Calculator Part 1 – An Exercise In Patience
So, after many many delays, I got the Melcor 390 calculator fixed. Oh, it was an absolute joy to get done soldering the capacitor in and finally seeing the LED’s fire up with “EEE1” and other garbage data, as this little calculator does when it’s first powered up. If you don’t know what I’m talking […]
We Return To Your Regularly Scheduled Programming
Oh, hi! It’s been a little while, hasn’t it? Yeah, it has – About 4 or 5 days that I just decided to go do something else for a while? Why? Well, the opportunity came up, so I decided “let’s do it!” Some time away with minimal network connectivity. Yeah, I could well have written […]
Here’s Ashens First Video, Because I Had Nothing Else Ready To Post Today
So, Thursday has become somewhat of a “too busy to post on Xadara” day for me – indeed, the past week has been slightly more busy than normal, so I haven’t had the chance to get going on too much in depth content – hell, it’s only usually the last hour of the day I […]
An Atari 2700 Was Found At A California Thrift Store!
Crossing my news feed a few days ago is something rather interesting to me – An Atari 2700 console that was found in a thrift store in California… for $30! Yeah, if you know the story of the 2700, it’s amazing to read about. If you don’t, well, let me explain it to you. The […]
Terrible Games And The Playstation 4 Online Store
Apparently, the Playstation 4 online store has, over the past half a year or so, become quite flooded with games that are, to say the least, of sub-par quality. Now, every online store has its share of terrible games, and it used to be that Steam was the poster boy for terrible game repository – […]
A Reminder: I Don’t Hate SpaceX, I Just Hate How Some Fans Behave About It
SpaceX Builds The Final Dragon V1 Capsule
It looks like SpaceX has, as the title states, built the final Dragon V1 capsule, in preparations to get to production of the Dragon V2 capsule going – this is the vehicle that will be crew-capable. So, this means that SpaceX wil be re-flying their Dragon capsules for the foreseeable future, as their role as […]
Photobucket: It’s Not That You’re Charging, But How Much You’re Charging
As the Photobucket drama continues, we’re starting to more often see tweets and other such content criticizing those complaining about the changes Photobucket made last month. They virtually always seem to follow this same pattern of insulting those complaining, followed up by making the claim that the reason for the hatred is that people just […]
The Computer Chronicles – Web Plugins (1998)
With the death of Flash coming in a few years, it only felt right to share (as I did in the previous article) this episode of the Computer Chronicles from 1998 discussing web plugins – after all, that’s how Flash got started, as a web browser plugin. Oh, those were the days. Granted to a […]
