Can’t Blog – Too Busy in Chernobyl
I haven’t written anything in a good while but can you blame me given it’s the hell that is the holiday season? I’ve gotta relax one way or another!
HBO’s Chernobyl And Possible Plagiarism – A Deep Look
Yesterday I wrote about an email I had received regarding an article I had written well over a year ago about the Chernobyl Disaster. More specifically, the article shared a video I had found which had a visual effect of Ukrainian text for what was spoken in actual recordings of calls made to fire dispatch […]
Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch, An Email From Ukraine, And HBO’s Chernobyl – A Strange Story
Back in April of 2018 I wrote a short article for the 32nd Anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster titled “The Chernobyl Disaster – Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch.” It was a simple article where I shared a video I had found by the same title which had audio recordings of calls made to firefighting […]
The Chernobyl Disaster – Calls To The Pripyat Fire Dispatch
Today marks 32 years since the explosion at Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in the Ukraine. While there isn’t too much to say today that I haven’t said in many previous articles on the disaster, I do have a few things to share. EDIT 6/13/2019: Wow, this entry is getting rather popular. […]
Chernobyl: 31 Years Later
It’s been 31 years since the Chernobyl Disaster, an event, alongside the 2011 Fukushimi Daiichi disaster, that ranks as the worst nuclear disaster in history. Last year, for the 30th anniversary, I covered the disaster in some detail. In the year since then, the Chernobyl remains have since, finally, been covered with a permanent shelter […]
The Chernobyl Shelter Object Is Safely In Place Over Reactor 4
File this one under news that reached me 2 weeks after the fact, in late November of 2016, the Shelter Object, a massive arch intended to seal the remains of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Reactor 4 was successfully moved over the structure with the intent of forever sealing the damaged reactor and its deadly nuclear […]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly is Good. Damn Good.
After replaying the 3 Stalker games, I finally decided to step into the territory of game mods and find myself pleasantly surprised.
Project Phoenix
File this one under “Chris writing about the blog he barely updates” but, fuck it, I wanted to get October off to an optimistic start. As we all know, the past nearly two years hasn’t been all that great — Covid has been a constant pain in our ass and we’ve seen stupidity on top […]
The “Casual” vs “Actual” Decade
It’s now the year 2020, and everyone, as they tend to be year after year, is celebrating the new year as some kind of chance for new beginnings as well as taking the time to look back over the past, and with this being a big round number everyone is also talking about how we’re […]
A Look Back At 2019 On Xadara
Well, that’s it. The final post of the year, the one where I take a look back at the previous 365 or so days and ask myself “was this all worth it?” Okay, not really, but I like to see what all happened over the past year. As I kind of “go with the flow” […]
Who Is Kurisu Yamato?
This is one of those questions someone has to have asked when seeing me online – just who in the hell actually is this person with the strange Japanese username? It’s a natural question to have, and I figured with us starting off the year why not provide a bit of an explanation as to […]
10 Years Of Xadara – What’s The Point?
So, I’ve explained to the best of my ability just what the name “xadara” actually means (if anything) and the origins and story of the website itself, but one question still remains: What’s the point? Indeed, that’s the question that is probably most important, but can be answered so simply, What’s the point? Well, there […]
