YouTube user Thunderf00t, a scientist who also happens to make videos about a wide variety of subjects, has spent quite a bit of time in the week following the Falcon 9 explosion studying the event in detail and formulating his own ideas as to why the vehicle exploded – more accurately, describing the variables that […]

The Things You Get Wrong About Copyright: Part 1
When you think of Nintendo, you think Mario, Pokemon, Metroid. When you think of Sega, you think Sonic. When you think of Marvel, you think Iron Man, Spider-Man, The Hulk. When you think of DC Comics, you think of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. These are all intellectual properties protected under a law statute known as […]
YouTube Comments are Absolute Garbage
This whole article should go without saying – it shouldn’t need to be made, but screw it, I need to vent about this. YouTube comments are, as the title states, absolute garbage, in many ways worse than most of the internet as far as open commentary goes, and it’s really pathetic that this is the […]
I Guess People on YouTube Hate the Idea of Reading!
I did a little test today, to see what would happen if I uploaded a short, text and audio only video to promote to the YouTube audience that I had written the article yesterday about the NES Classic. It’s a 26 second video clip that gives a very basic summary, and mentions if you want […]
The Great YouTube Subscriber Purge – Or Was It Just A Glitch?
Many YouTube Content Creators awoke yesterday to find that they had lost many subscribers seemingly overnight. While some larger YouTube channels lost thousands, smaller channels lost maybe 10 – I personally went from 191 to 184, and I was somewhat surprised until I looked on Twitter and saw many others posting about similar losses, which […]
Looks Like I Spoke Too Soon About McJuggerNuggets
Just a few days ago I wrote about the end of the McJuggerNuggets YouTube channel. At that time, it did indeed seem like he wasn’t going to make any more videos, until today, where a new one randomly popped up. At the end of his last video, before revealing the entire “Psycho Series” and the […]
McJuggerNuggets Ends The Psycho Series
Edit: The original title of this article was “McJuggernuggets ends his YouTube Channel. Obviously he has continued his channel, which I may cover more of in the future. However, I am leaving the article here as is for archival sake. At the time, that’s what everyone thought had happened – that the channel was over. […]
YouTube Has Broken Their Subscription Listings. What Else Is New?
When I go on YouTube to watch a video, I expect it to just work. More precisely, I expect the fundamentals to work as they should – I’m able to log in, watch the videos I want to, and go about my day enjoying content. The subscription listing is key to this, since those content […]
Linux Is Freaking Weird – Bryan Lunduke
Linux is everywhere. It’s in your phone, on most web servers, and for those of us who enjoy or need such capabilities it provides, on our computers. What many people don’t know is that Linux is in many places you would never think, from Crock Pots and coffee makers to motorcycles, soccer playing robots, and […]
The Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 140 – Paperboy
I’ve been meaning to write about Angry Video Game Nerd episodes for years now. The videos, while extremely crass and possibly intolerable for some types, are also well loved by so many others, especially gamers of my age range who grew up playing games on the Atari 2600, the NES, and later consoles. We grew […]
Fox, Family Guy, Double Dribble, YouTube, and the DMCA
Proving yet again how absolutely broken the YouTube copyright system is, Fox has issued a DMCA takedown against a YouTube video of the NES game “Double Dribble.” The reason? The video clip, which was uploaded in 2009, was used in the most recent (at this time) episode of the animated comedy Family Guy. That’s right. […]
The Most Hated Video Game Trailer Ever – Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
When I wrote last month about the trailer for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, I never knew it would get as hated as it has been. Oh yes, a Call of Duty game is receiving massive hate.What a time to be alive! That’s right. You are looking at over 2 million dislikes! Okay, so […]

YouTube is “Improving Content ID for Creators”
So, in the event you have been living under a rock and not been aware, there has been, over the past few months, a massive backlash against YouTube and its content ID system, known as “Where’s the Fair Use” ( #WTFU). Any search on that tag shows video after video, post after post, tweet after […]
