A few weeks ago, just a bit before WWDC, there was a small Apple announcement which caught me by surprise — an update to the iPod Touch product line! I know, I’m late as hell to write about this but whatever. I’m going to be completely honest here. As the title suggests, I thought Apple […]
Last Tuesday my Stranger Things Coke order, which included 2 cans of the infamous 1985 “New Coke” formula, came in . This is something I’ve been wanting to try for much of my life, but especially over the past few years have been thinking Coke as a company should bring back in some capacity and, […]
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 […]
Today, June 12th 2019 marks 10 years since the mandated day that terrestrial television — you know, the “over the air” type you get with an antenna — was set to end analog broadcasts and go “all digital.” It’s actually one hell of a complicated story — far too much for me to go into […]
I know, I know — I said last year I wasn’t going to cover E3 this year and I’m not. Hell, I didn’t know and wasn’t intending on watching Microsoft’s presentation yesterday but a friend made me aware of it and suggested I check it out so we could talk about it later in actual […]
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 […]
I know, I’ know — I’m beyond late for writing about this. Get over it, I wanted to weigh in myself on this hilarious little attempt Best Buy made back in late April on getting rid of some of their certainly slow-moving stock of the PlayStation Classic console. Here’s what the deal was – on […]
June 2nd marked one year since a work colleague gave (yes, gave) me a Power Mac G5 computer – my first working Macintosh system and, of more interesting note, a specimen of the last generation of PowerPC based Macintosh computers. With me being the kind of tech enthusiast I am the machine was naturally a […]
Way back in the far off space year of 2016 I wrote an article titled “The Review Plan” where I discussed the basic ideas I had for reviewing media of all types. I outlined my 1 to 5 rating scale and a few thoughts and ideas on how things would go. It seemed straightforward but […]
We’re coming up on another month and you know what that means – another set of games in the Games with Gold lineup. After a somewhat disappointing past few months I’m not expecting too much great, but let’s take a look and judge once we’ve seen what’s available. Starting with the Xbox One we have […]
Here we have a bit of a unique AVGN episode. The game being focused on is a well enough known “bad” game for the system, called “Deadly Towers.” This time, however, the video script was a chance for the fans to participate in the production of an episode! The way it worked was this: As […]
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 […]
So, Microsoft finally got around to putting up the May Games With Gold video… 3 days late. Yep, they waited until May 3rd to upload it. Go figure. Whatever. We’ll cover it just like we do every Games with Gold announcement, so without any further delay, let’s get to it. It can’t be all bad, […]
As regular readers know, I like to cover the “Games with Gold” game selection every month by sharing the official video from Microsoft alongside my comments on each game, as presented in the video. If I know more about the game or have an opinion on it outside of Games with Gold, I’ll share that […]
I know what you’re expecting — you came here wanting to read what I have to say about the trailer, as a Sonic The Hedgehog fan. You want me to watch it and get mad at what they’ve done; you want me to flip out over every little detail that’s wrong or odd or otherwise […]
