It’s by a strange coincidence that I would write a small article late yesterday about the city of Pripyat, Ukraine – the city where the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was located. It’s explosion is one of many events that is called “the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union” and while writing that article […]
Since hearing about the movement and successful installation of the Shelter Object at the remains of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, I’ve been in a weak version what I call a “Chernobyl” mood, where I’ve been hunting for information, photos, and videos of the subject off and on this past month. Nothing too out of […]
I didn’t expect to write anything else today. I expected to get down to enjoying the holiday with friends and family. During a lull between events, I hopped on twitter to find a tweet, only a minute or so old, from the BBC saying that George Michael, the more prominent member of the 1980’s band […]
Ah, what gaming YouTuber doesn’t eventually do a video on this game at some point in their career? In my case, that time is clearly now. Bible Adventures was Christian Bible themed game developed by Wisdom Tree for the NES. It’s idea is pretty straightforward – take some stories from the Bible and make a […]
It never ceases to amaze me how many people decide the days right before an event are the optimum time to purcahse gifts and other items for that event. These same people are then amazed when the stores are out of stock of items, and quickly complain about lines being backed up and everything taking […]
2016 was a hell of a year. It had its good points, its bad points, and all in all, it was pretty much just like any other given year. The biggest element was about halfway through the year a focus change in my efforts from YouTube to this site proper. This was a change that […]
A little while back I wrote about the eurobeat music YouTube channel “Eurolovers” being taken down. Following that, I found out that someone had shared it on Reddit, not once now, but twice. Not only that, it has also been mentioned on Eurobeat Prime, one of, if not the top Eurobeat fan site out there. […]
Microsoft wasted no time tossing out next months Games with Gold game list, and what a nice list of games it looks to be starting off January 2017. As always, these games may not be everyone’s cup of tea, so to speak, but it’s always worth trying out something new. Let’s jump right into it: […]
Just like October means Halloween and with it a horror themed episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd series, December means a holiday themed episode. This year, it looks like James decided to go with more of a comedy skit than general review style video, which is fine with me, although many fans aren’t happy […]
Another day, another launch it seems. A United Launch Alliance Atlas V booster (431 configuration) launched the Echostar 19 communications satellite today, marking the 68th Atlas V launch. Normally I would go on waxing poetically about the payload, the booster, and what have you, but this time, there isn’t anything to say that hasn’t been […]
The holiday season is an incredibly mixed bag – deep down, I do enjoy this time of year, with classic movies and memories of years gone by, but at the same time it’s a point in the year that I can’t stand. Working in retail has a pretty negative effect on a persons love of […]
It’s coming down to the wire for the holiday season, and one thing that is invariably going to happen, and has already been happening day in, day in, the past few months is items being out of stock in stores. This is just how it works, and, amazingly, some people just don’t seem to grasp […]
Yep, that happened. During the chaos of Tommy Sotomayor DMCA takedown chaos on the Drunken Peasants youtube channel, we have Complex, an entertainment and news publication with a somewhat urban slant, filing a copyright claim resulting in the blocking of Drunken Peasants episode 309 worldwide. https://twitter.com/DrunkenPeasants/status/809472968938045440 I was only able to watch half the episode […]
NASA pushed out quite a few videos following the death of John Glenn. The other day I shared some video of the launch of STS-95, Glenn’s 1998 return to space. There was one video I found during the planning of that article, though, that I didn’t share due to its length, and thought more worthwhile […]
I’m not going to lie – I avoid Reddit. Something about open discussion sites of that nature has just never appealed to me. I could go more in depth, but that isn’t the point here. The point is, I don’t go there. The other day, I noticed my traffic was oddly high (and at the […]
