I feel like I normally doom myself to procrastination when I speak of upcoming plans for the site, but the past few days have proven fruitful writing, and I’m feeling optimistic, so why not take a chance, right? I’ll be keeping this short, as I really just wanted to put up a list of subjects […]
After a long enough download phase, I finally gave Apex Legends a shot earlier and, as I said last night, I’m writing my first impressions here now. Let’s get the formalities out of the way – this isn’t a review this is just a capturing of my first thoughts. This is after all of 30 […]
I wanted to get my thoughts out on Apex Legends here on launch day before I give the game a try. It’s very rare that I would do something like this but for this game, well, I felt it at least worth doing, and getting thoughts out before I play it — when my opinion […]
In a bit of current gaming news that spawned some “discussion” worth commenting on, Microsoft had some issues this past week regarding their Xbox Live service. Now, I didn’t pay too much attention to this for two reasons – one, I was busy, and two, when I did fire up my Xbox One during said […]
It’s the tail end of January which means you know what around here – me taking a look at February’s Games With Gold lineup! January wasn’t a bad assortment at all, but could have been better — let’s see how February looks! Starting off as always with the Xbox One we’re looking at Bloodstained: Curse […]
Nothing lasts forever. Things break down over time, and inevitably everything needs to be replaced. This is something most people grow to accept pretty early in life, but no matter how used to this fact you get, it still sucks when something does fail, especially unexpectedly. In this case, as the title suggests, the graphics […]
In case you didn’t know, PlayStation 4 consoles, mainly the original series but this is still somewhat true with the Slimline models, have incredibly fragile HDMI ports. While no HDMI port will withstand deliberate attempts to break it, PlayStation 4 ports seem to break far more readily than most any other console in the past […]
Woohoo! It’s about to be a new year and with that comes, well, a new month and new Games with Gold. 2018 wasn’t a bad year by any means – it had its high and low points, but on a whole provided a good selection of games and a few that I enjoyed checking out. […]
2003 would prove to be one of the most, shall we say, interesting years of my life. I’ll spare the details but it was chaotic, to say the least, and at a point during it much of what I owned was stolen. Not a great start to your adult life, but I learned quite a […]
When you’re young, 5 years is a long time. By 1998 I was 13 and in the 8th grade. Gaming wise I had gotten a SNES a year beforehand, in 1997, from a friend of the family (as SNES consoles were relatively cheap by this time) since my Genesis had long ago been broken, and […]
Being the age I am December 25th brings back fond memories of the Christmas days of my youth. This year was no different in that regard, but this year I noticed an odd pattern regarding those years and the “major” gift each year. Namely, the years 1993, 1998, and 2003. 25, 20, and 15 years […]
Sony has a bit of a history of security failures over the years – PSN being hacked on multiple occasions, among other incidents, being the first that come to mind. Of course, such is common enough with most any major company — things happen. However, this case is a little more interesting in both what […]
When the PlayStation Classic was announced in September 2018 I was pretty optimistic, as most of the internet seemed. The much-beloved PlayStation getting a “flashback” style console akin to what Nintendo did with the NES and SNES Classic Edition consoles seemed like a great idea. What could go wrong? The PlayStation had an amazing game […]
This Entry Has Been Superseded By This Article: A Final Commentary On The Whole PlayStation Classic Power Supply Mess Over the past few days since the release of the PlayStation Classic, my article from several months ago titled “So The PlayStation Classic Doesn’t Come With A Power Supply, And That’s Absolutely Fine” somewhat blew up […]
Well now, it’s the end of the year. Time for one last set of games, and here we have… well, it’s games. I’ll spare the intro and get right to the video and my thoughts on this end of the year set of free games. Let’s begin! On the Xbox One, we have Q.U.B.E. 2 […]
