I got an email yesterday evening from YouTube regarding their partner program and some upcoming changes to it — the long and the short of it is they will no longer be allowing people to pre-sign the contract associated with the program; you’ll have to wait until you meet their stupid threshold to monetize before […]
While I haven’t been paying as close attention as one would think to the upcoming release of new Xbox and PlayStation hardware (blame work and the toxic nature of the online community for that one) I had been active enough to notice people discussing a product mentioned on Xbox gift cards and the like described […]
Late last year I attempted to begin a series where I reviewed all 259 episodes of the animated comedy series King of the Hill. The show is one I absolutely loved during its run from 1997 to 2009/2010 and in syndication during and after this time span. As a bit of a tribute to it […]
To quote James in the opening of this video: “I’m back.” That’s right, I’m back to continue my insane project of reviewing every Angry Video Game Nerd episode and next up on the list is a video focusing on games based on films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This was the first episode to come after the […]
After the pretty terrible showing last month from the Games with Gold lineup, I’ve gotta say I wasn’t hoping for much this time around. At first glance the selection looks like a joke, but once I looked a little more closely I’m seeing more to enjoy this time around. Let’s take a look. Starting off […]
I’m not going to lie – I didn’t even want to write this one. I know I’m normally one to be optimistic about the games coming each month, but for July 2020 the selection is a joke. Yes, I’m saying that. I certainly always try to look on the good side of what’s being offered […]
Right, I’ve spent pretty much all of June taking a break – as my buddy Prince Watercress put it, kind of a “lost weekend” situation, but an intentional one of me just not caring about writing stuff. I’ve put out a few things here and there, but have otherwise been slacking very intentionally, resulting in […]
I’ve not written much this month as I’ve been recently taking quite a bit of time to just indulge in some other hobbies of mine and detach from all the chaos going on in the world right now. I covered this in a bit of detail in a previous entry, and touched on some of […]
Yesterday Sony finally showed off the design of the PlayStation 5 and all I could think upon seeing it was that it looks nothing like the developer systems which everyone seemed to think the actual hardware would resemble. In two entries I covered this subject. In January I wrote “No, the PlayStation 5 is not […]
It would be just like me to not get the “what’s coming” article for the next month out until we’re already 3 days in the month, but what can I say, I’ve been working on other projects the past few days and really making some headway into some things that I will, hopefully, write about […]
Yes, you’re reading that correctly – XadaraCast is back! Yes, I make that sound far more exciting than it is, because we all know the internet totally needed another podcast but damn if I haven’t for years really wanted to have one of these going and damn if each time I try things just kind […]
You know the drill – new month, new games to look at with the Xbox Games with Gold program. The Xadara tradition continues with what looks like a pretty okay month. Let’s get going. On the Xbox One we have Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse and Coffee Talk. Okay, another Shantae game. Cool, I still […]
Nothing lasts forever, especially in the realm of technology, and as much I hate to admit it even the items in my modest collection can, and sometimes will, give up the ghost and just become inert hunks of plastic, metal, and sometimes glass. That, however, will not happen without me putting up one hell of […]
I feel like I need to address a bit of an “elephant in the room” with regards to my Angry Video Game Nerd Episode Review project. For over 3 years now I’ve taken time to, in order, review every single episode of James Rolfe’s much loved web series, and as it stands I’ve completed over […]
In the late Summer of 2018 I was really getting into a big kick of collecting and using old Macintosh systems. It wasn’t long after getting the MacBook mentioned in a previous article (and thus becoming “current” in the Macintosh ecosystem) that I had an idea to get a Mac mini system and use it […]
