You Wanted Game Reviews? You’re Finally Getting Them!

Okay, I’m sure you probably didn’t or, at the very least could “take or leave them,” but regardless of how you feel on the subject that multi-year overdue goal I had of shoving the most obvious content of all on this website – classic video game reviews – is finally happening. Probably. Most likely. I […]

Just When You Think It Can’t Get Any More Crazy, It Does – Pandemic Log 4/22/2020

It’s been just shy of a month since my local area finally began pushing for the closure of non-essential businesses and taking the situation seriously. I’m still working and, in an interesting twist, business is quite high right now — the demand for game console repairs and, of course, games to go along with said […]

For What It’s Worth, James Rolfe Is Aware Of My AVGN Episode Reviews

That’s right, the man himself is fully aware of the fact that I’m working to review every single AVGN episode. There’s a bit of a story behind it that’s at least somewhat worth sharing, so I felt today would be as good a day as any for that — gotta knock out that backlog sooner […]

What’s In A Name – The Origin Of “Kurisu Yamato”

Here’s a topic I’ve been long overdue on covering as I sometimes do get asked about it and some may find interesting; the origins my online alias “Kurisu Yamato.” At first glance most people just chalk it up as another weird Japanese styled name, probably from some “weeb” kid who’s really into some particular anime […]

It’s been a nice break from work, current events, and music related studies […]

What The PlayStation 5 Controller Design Can Tell Us About The PlayStation 5 Console Design

Last night Sony posted a blog entry showing off the new controller for the PlayStation 5. I covered that in the previous article, but at the end of that entry mentioned that the visual style of this controller may give us a clue as to what the PlayStation 5 console itself may actually look like.

Getting Back To My Vintage Computer Collection

Over the past year or so my “office” in one room of the house has become pretty much nothing but storage, and in the process my Macintosh systems as well as a few other Windows machines of varying vintages have been effectively inaccessible. Over the past week some work has been done on that room […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 106: Bible Games III – Episode Review

It’s time for the 2011 Holiday episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and in this case we have the third and, so far, final installment of “Bible Games” — games produced with Christian themes targeted towards religious audiences, with virtually all of them, by the nature of their subject matter, being (ironically) unlicensed by […]
