YouTube Terminates Kent Hovind’s Primary Channel. About Damn Time!
For once, YouTube actually did something good.
I Just Can’t Do The Online Gaming Discussion Scene Anymore
I’ve been thinking quite a bit recently about my time in the online gaming scene — especially the past 2 or 3 years — and I’ve come to realize I simply can’t do it anymore. The scene has become virtually nothing but a might-makes-right popularity contest where passion, knowledge, and logic mean nothing — do …

SLOWEST. UPDATE. EVER!
Time now for a bit of unscheduled comedy. I got an alert that the program which manages my graphics card had an update. I, naturally, began to install this update and was surprised at how slowly it was actually downloading – at something more akin to 56K dial up than any proper form of broadband. …

The “Archive Of Hate” – A Collection Of Social Media Negativity Over The Past Half Decade
I’m in the process of copying nearly 400 gigabytes of data to an external hard drive for archival purposes – some of it certainly will be deleted, if not most of it, with the remainder organized and stored away where it needs to be. The bulk of this is all data from previous projects which …

YouTube, Microsoft, And Sony Are Limiting Connection Speeds To Help Conserve Bandwidth
With many people being forced to stay home during this pandemic the overall infrastructure of the internet is being somewhat taxed by far more people than normal using it for video watching, gaming, teleconferencing, what have you, at any given time. While the overall infrastructure seems like it can handle the overall load the fact …

Blocked For A Reason – 2020 Edition
Back in early 2016 I wrote an article titled “Blocked for a Reason.” The article covered the subject of blocking people on social media – in simple form, the reason behind such (at least for me) and what it actually means when that event happens. I thought it would be good, since it’s been nearly …

I Think I Misjudged The YouTube / COPPA Situation
On Friday of last week I wrote an article about the YouTube / COPPA situation and how I felt like people may have been making a bigger deal out of it than they should. As it turns out, this is a case where I was very, very wrong. Let me explain that traditionally people have …

YouTube Changed Their API. Again. This Broke Video Downloads. Again.
I really don’t much like YouTube anymore. I haven’t for years now, but it, like Google, is one of those necessary evils in the digital life of most everyone. I’ll fully admit it’s where a majority of the video content I watch originates, but that’s simply because everyone puts their content there, and I watch …

Making Time For Myself For Once | Escaping Social Media
So, there’s been another gap in me writing here and as usual I’d like to write about it, for what use it is to others who may read this. As usual, it’s had to do partially with me being tied up with other things, but also has to do with me spending time doing something …

Updating AVGN Episode Reviews, And More – An Update
You know, I never expected the Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to get as far as they did — I’m in Season 4 and am incredibly optimistic on where this is going, as it’s gone from being just a fun little side project to something to really enjoy! In retrospect, however, I didn’t plan …

Goodbye YouTube
Yes, I know it’s quite the dramatic title. Figured I’d use tactics that were common on YouTube to get some extra attention to this article — more than it already would get naturally. “Play their game” as they say. The other night I finally committed to a decision I had been considering for some time …

Another Adpocalypse? Cry Me A River.
Apparently, in the YouTube scene, we’re going through another “Adpocalypse” — a situation on YouTube where advertising revenue takes a dive because advertisers got pissed about something some big YouTube content creator did and YouTube decides to be more strict on what content can actually be monetized on the site. For those keeping track, this …

YouTube Is Still Showing Me Channels I’ve Unsubscribed From In My Feed – A Follow Up
Back in July of 2018 I wrote an article (YouTube Is *Still* Showing Me Channels I’ve Unsubscribed From In My Subscription Feed) discussing YouTube showing channels I’ve unsubscribed to in my subscription feed – a problem that many seem to have. I can presume others are having this issue, anyway, for one simple reason: the …

An Update On The GameAnyone Situation
A few days ago I shared the strange discovery my friend Prince Watercress made in that a game walkthrough / let’s play sharing site known as “GameAnyone” apparently has a tactic of making “fake” accounts for various content creators, auto publishing content they create or share to the platform without that content creators consent. Note: …
