From the looks of things, tech support scammers don’t hide their tracks well. They use fake pop-up warnings and fake software to scare people into calling and paying for their services, and these pages and software often have traces of the actual owner buried in them somewhere. The people at the tops of these scams […]
Ah, the 90’s. 1990, in this case. The Nintendo Entertainment System was still the champ, but the Sega Genesis was nipping at its heels. These were the days I started my love of gaming in, and it’s fascinating to watch videos like this from that time period that show when these consoles were new and […]
Given that my post about the entire 2017 Switch Presentation is 1,500 words long, I figured I would do well to give you all a summary of my thoughts on the system, for what they’re worth to you. In the event you want the full article, here you go. Anyway, the Switch, generally I like […]
So, Nintendo finally told us what we needed to know about the Switch. About damn time, now all the worthless rumors and speculation can end and the real anticipation and hype can begin. I’ve always hated the pre-announcement period of consoles, games, and what have you, since it’s inevitably filled with nonstop speculation of the […]
Tonight, or should I say tomorrow morning in Japan, Nintendo will finally tell us what we need to know about the Switch. Oh yes, that console, which will release in March, will finally be unveiled to the masses in detail, and the online gaming community is hyped. I for one, am passively excited. As cool […]
This article is a follow up to my previous entry here. I wound up going to bed yesterday around 1PM. By about 23 hours or so awake I just couldn’t keep going, and I had to crash. By 5PM I woke back up, and went back to normal operations for the evening. I wasn’t feeling […]
Sleep. Everyone loves sleep. What’s more, everyone loves sleeping at a reasonable time, for their schedule. The holidays, sadly, completely mess up many retail workers sleep schedules more than you can imagine. For the past few weeks since the holidays subsided, I’ve had a problem of going to bed around 6AM, and waking up around […]
It snowed down here in Memphis today. Here in the Mid-South (seriously, that’s what the region is called) snow is usually met with moderate, but reserved panic. People don’t quite know how to drive in it, since it’s usually only an issue a little under once a year, on average. Schools close, stores shut down […]
The oh-so sought after NES Classic Edition (or NES Mini as everyone wants to incorrectly call it) apparently was a holiday item, and not planned to be produced for a long term. This information comes to me from a Nintendo representative, and may or may not be old news – I don’t go hunting for […]
At least, if you want to buy a new one. It indeed looks like the WiiU is done with retail sales. I haven’t seen hide nor hair of one since before Christmas, and upon checking the day job, the console is sure enough in a discontinued status for sales. It’s only a matter of time […]
Well, here we are. It’s the year 2017. Damn… that sounds futuristic as hell doesn’t it? Of course, I’ll be saying that about every forever, so it is what it is – 1984 sounded like the future way back when, after all, so it’s all relative. In any case, another year is upon us, and […]
I finally rediscovered an article, a year later, which I wanted to write about and contrast much like I did the previous Re: 21 Things You Have To Explain to Out-of-Towners About Memphis article. Notice how all these articles, from all these random sites, are so nearly identically written? Funny how these clone websites actually provide […]
The popular web browser Firefox appears to finally be ending support for Windows XP and Vista based systems “sometime in 2017” based on this article from Computerworld. Firefox looks to be the last holdout on the major web browser side of things to still support the, in all honesty, ancient operating system. Microsoft ended support […]
Crossing my radar today is an article from a few days ago on the website WGG (never heard of it before today) stating that it would seem the WiiU, which we now know is no longer produced in any capacity, is no longer properly available, at least from Best Buy. I can’t say at all […]
I didn’t expect to wake up today to the news of the death of Carrie Fisher. The last reports I had read were that she was stable after her heart attack a few days ago, and it seemed like she would recover, and hopefully be back to herself soon enough. Sadly, this wouldn’t be the […]
