So, in my drive to constantly provide my opinion (for what it’s worth) on everything I like (or don’t like, in some cases) I’ve had the crazy idea to review every single Angry Video Game Nerd episode. That’s right, every single one. Why? Well, why not? Why not detail the evolution of the show, and […]
Now for something completely different and rather amusing, I bring you something quite random I found out about only towards the tail end of it happening: The Facebook page Super Deluxe had a live race between a Tortoise and a Hare, as per the classic story. https://www.facebook.com/superdeluxevideo/videos/417564681921421/ It looks like all the two had to […]
Ah, Pokemon Go – the game that took over last summer and then, oddly enough, quickly faded away. At the time, I was on a Windows Phone device, so I didn’t get the chance to experience it. Recently, I had to get a new phone and decided to give Android another try. This allowed me […]
Last week I was watching some videos receiving far-away TV transmission when this video was recommended by YouTube – it’s a 1986 American public access show which covers Soviet state TV recorded over 1985 and 1986 – this includes comedy programs, news (including an early Chernobyl report), game shows,special reports on their space program, and […]
I don’t just pay attention to tech support scams. I find most any type of scam interesting, not just in the actual application of such and spreading awareness of these things, but also the back-end of these scams: where these people come from, how they pull off what they do, and how they skirt the […]
Well, we all knew this was an inevitbility – A little while ago the NES Classic Edition got hacked, apparently, and the group behind such was able to add in around 60 games, or so I understand. Well, this past week that number grew to, oh, about 700. This basically covers the entire NES library, […]
In part 1 of this article series, I covered the general idea of sports, especially football, being so commonplace that fans find it odd when people don’t seem to care, but it’s perfectly fine and normal for people, well, not to care. Read Part 1 Here! In this post I wanted to cover more of […]
Today is Super Bowl Sunday. Oh wait, they don’t like it when you say Super Bowl, so it’s “The Big Game” day! Right, a day where the most boring, most over hyped event ever happens. Yeah, as you could tell from that opening line, and the title of the post, I just don’t give a […]
In this 1995 episode of The Computer Chronicles, Stuart Cheifet takes a look at the cutting-edge in gaming entertainment in the mid 90’s. This was quite an interesting time for home gaming, as 3D graphics rendering was reaching a point where decent quality images could be generated in real time. Windows 95 brought DirectX technology, […]
I was super late on my post about the NES Classic yesterday – I should have written it earlier in the week when I first got wind, but I got tied up in things. In any case, yes, the NES Classic Edition is back on store shelves, or at least, it is until the stores […]
UPDATE: apparently YES, the item has been on the shelves today, as of the day of me writing this. Talk about being late to post! https://www.xadara.com/the-nes-classic-edition-is-back-in-stores-and-its-still-rare Among the more interesting gaming rumors that have crossed my radar the past few weeks is one saying that the NES Classic Edition is going to make its way […]
I’ve been a fan of modern Korean music for many years now, primarily focusing on the music of the late 90’s and into the mid 2000’s, what I consider a golden time for the dance-pop styled music that I enjoy. This interest was heavily driven as a side effect of the Korean music game Pump […]
Defcon is quite the interesting convention, unlike most others. Instead of being devoted to anime, or video games, or comic books, this one is about technology and the hacker subculture. The talks can vary wildly, and I plan on sharing some of the best ones with you here, as I feel the urge. To start […]
From the looks of things, tech support scammers don’t hide their tracks well. They use fake pop-up warnings and fake software to scare people into calling and paying for their services, and these pages and software often have traces of the actual owner buried in them somewhere. The people at the tops of these scams […]
Ah, the 90’s. 1990, in this case. The Nintendo Entertainment System was still the champ, but the Sega Genesis was nipping at its heels. These were the days I started my love of gaming in, and it’s fascinating to watch videos like this from that time period that show when these consoles were new and […]
