Ah, Doom. Arguably the FPS of the Halloween season, and certainly one of the most legendary games on the PC side of things. With a new release this past years, Doom, as a series, is still alive and strong. Let’s go back, however, to the early 90’s UK gaming scene: The IBM-PC computer architecture that […]
Apparently Twitter is losing money at a rate large enough for them to not only lay off 9% of its total staff, but it’s killing off Vine, it’s video sharing service for 6 second looping video clips. Good riddance I say. Sure, some people used vine for more interesting clips; Voice actress Tara Strong, for […]
On October 27th, 1961, the first Saturn booster, SA-1 lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 34 on a 15 minute sub-orbital flight to test the booster. This first flight beget a series of 10 Saturn 1 test flights, 9 Saturn 1B flights, and 13 Saturn V flights. Saturn 1 was a […]
It’s coming down to the wire, this last week before Halloween! This is one of the absolute best weeks of the year, with everything reaching maximum levels of spooky horror goodness! It’s also well known to be my favorite time of the year, and for good reason: candy, creepy stuff, and an end to the […]
I go thrifting often, so often I should (and will soon) start a video series on it. Of course, I’m on the hunt for electronics, and I’ve found some amazing things – that Nintendo Wii that I modded with no issue, my original Xbox that has since been so heavily modded it’s barely anything like […]
Mark, of Classic Game Room, released yesterday another video acting as a “preview” for his patreon exclusive content and it was met, once again, with quite the backlash. His 2 minute preview videos that then ask people to donate on Patreon just aren’t cutting it, and people are calling him out on it. Something I […]
[UPDATE – THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN ABANDONED. THIS IS A LEGACY POST] XadaraCast Episode 2 is not only out now, but it has been for several days, and I just now got to writing the official xadara entry about it. Go me! In any case, this is a shorter, more to the point episode than […]
Just a quick heads up for those of you who are following my new podcast, XadaraCast, I just wanted to provide a minor heads up that I’ve changed the file formats for episode 1 and episode 2 from .ogg to .mp3. For some reason, the .ogg file format isn’t as well supported as it should […]
This months Games With Gold list is something else. Another 4 great games, for free, what’s not to love? Okay, the games range from titles that are probably alright to ones known to be absolutely awesome, and vary in genre, so your mileage may vary. They are, of course, free with an active Xbox Live […]
Right now it’s almost 3AM on October 25th, and I’m beginning this mini-article, which will be retroactively dated to the 24th, just to keep up with the perfect month of at least one-a-day posts I’ve been doing October. WordPress is great like that, you can just fudge things if need be. Today has been quite […]
This time we are hitting up videos 16 through 20 of Monster Madness X. We’re over halfway through the month, and unless I get to cranking out the 5 pack articles, I’ll never have these perfectly end right on Halloween, now will I? That being said, let’s get to the videos, this time covering Silver […]
So, just as I expected, the Switch is not going to be able to play (at least physically) Wii, WiiU, or 3DS titles. This isn’t surprising, since the console uses a physical cartridge port, rather than an optical drive, for games. What I’m surprised at, although I still expected it, is how upset people are […]
A few days ago China launched a crewed mission to it’s newest space station, Tiangong 2. The crew has since successfully docked and are, as far as reports indicate, having a perfectly normal mission on board the orbital laboratory. Obviously in reading this you know that they are space stations, sure, but just what are […]
When I wrote earlier about the announcement of the Switch, I said that it was “Exactly what I thought it was going to be.” I didn’t quite explain it well, which happens when I first get writing about something spur-of-the-moment. I thought I should explain myself better. We all knew the NX was going to […]
