Ah, the 80’s. An amazing time in entertainment. The era that brought us the rebirth of the video game industry also brought us some of the best music in history; at least, in my eyes. I’m a big fan of much of the music from the 1980’s, and I thought it would be nice to […]
After years of production, the Angry Video Game Nerd Movie was released online on September 2nd, 2014. As a fan of the work of James Rolfe, I was anticipating this film ever since it’s announcement back in 2011. Of course, everyone knew the film would be about the Atari 2600 game “E.T”, from the fact […]
What has been showing up in my news feed as a rumor has come true today. Microsoft, the company behind the Windows Operating System, the Xbox game console series, and many other well known products, has purchased Mojang, the company behind the worlwide hit game Minecraft, for 2 and a half billion dollars. Yes. $2,500,000,000 […]
Doctor Who Series 8 seems to be off to a solid start. The 50 year old science fiction saga is still going through the process of re-introducing us to the titular character of The Doctor after his regeneration, and as seems to be tradition early in the introduction of a new Doctor, the second episode […]
After a nearly 9 month wait, Doctor Who is back on the air with Series 8, Episode 1 “Deep Breath.” This episode is important because it is the premier of Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. The change of any actor in a show is a major one, but for a character like the Doctor, it’s […]
I’ve been playing video games virtually my entire life. I grew up during the Nintendo era, and as far back as I can remember, all those bright lights and cool sounds have caught my attention more than most anything else. Elementary, Middle, and High School years were spent with much of my free time in […]
As I mentioned in my previous article, I have switched from an Android 2.3.4 based smartphone, to a very affordable, but also very modern, Windows Phone 8 based phone: The Nokia Lumia 520. Just how good could a $99 phone be? Just how usable is the Windows Phone operating system? I decided to dive straight […]
A few weeks ago, I made the decision to move from Android to Windows Phone. “Madness,” you might say. “Why would anyone switch from Android for Windows? Are you crazy?” Well, while the latter might be true, the switch was a very thought out decision on my end. It boils down to how one uses […]
So, on August 4th, the BBC announced who would replace Matt Smith in the role of the mysterious title character in the nearly half-century old Science Fiction series “Doctor Who.” The person chosen? Peter Capaldi, an actor who had actually already been in the series once before, in the 2008 episode “The Fires of Pompeii.” […]
The BBC announced it today: The Christmas 2013 Special of Doctor Who will be the final episode to feature Matt Smith as the role of the title character known simply as “The Doctor.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Matt-Smith-to-leave-Doctor-Who This comes weeks after the amazing Series 7 finale, which teasingly addressed the issue of the characters real name, as well […]
One of the defining characteristics of the Guild Wars series has been its use of instances; unique events in MMO worlds that are separated from the bulk of the normal world. In many games, such events are used for unique mob spawns, such as boss battles, or special events that for whatever reason are an […]
So, it has been about 2 weeks since the release of Guild Wars 2. Let’s just say it has taken up quite a bit of my time. 😉 I have to say, the game is one of the best I have played in years. It has a unique quality among MMO’s in which random cooperation […]
Minecraft. A game that has seemingly taken over as one of the must-play games of the past few years. A game where you can build virtually anything, and do virtually anything. A game I never bothered with after a trial play a few years ago. Back in early 2010, I started to see the game […]
