The Pen Is Mightier Than The Frontier? (Or, Another WordPress Theme Change)

As you might have noticed, things look very, very different around here. That’s because I found a new theme I liked — this one going by the name of “Pen” and amazingly, for all its raw power, complex code, and beauty it’s free (with some premium options, of course.) To say the previous theme, Frontier, […]

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 7: Some Final Thoughts And Things I’ve Noticed

In the last entry I wrapped up the testing of the system following its modding and found everything was in good shape – the project was, as far as I’m concerned, a complete success, and I had a European PlayStation 3 with a US power supply, modded to be able to play any game I’d […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 101: Spielberg Games – Episode Review

Here we go: Episode 101 of the Angry Video Game Nerd, and the end of Season 5! This time the Nerd is taking a look at a bunch of games based on films by the acclaimed director Steven Spielberg. Of course, since we’re talking about games based on the NES (for the most part) based […]

Introducing “Now Playing” – A Look At Whatever Game I May Be Enjoying At That Moment

I’ve recently finally really taken time to enjoy just sitting back and playing games again; I worked my way through Halo: Reach again recently and right now have been finally working through Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. During the past week or so of playing it I’ve made the occasional post on twitter about […]

A Final Commentary On The Whole PlayStation Classic Power Supply Mess

Over a year and a half ago in September of 2018, following the announcement of the PlayStation classic I wrote an entry on the then-hot subject of it not coming with any kind of power supply — you were expected to provide your own USB power supply, rated at 1 Amp. I felt this wasn’t […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 100: R.O.B. the Robot – Episode Review

Well, here we are. Episode 100 of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it this far with these reviews — I figured I’d get maybe 10 or 20 in and then get tired of it. Nope. That’s not the case, and today we’re taking a look back to the (then) […]

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 6: How Well Does This Thing Actually Perform?

Last time I went over the learning experience that actually was modding the PAL PlayStation 3 console I wound up with. It wasn’t the worst process to do, but man is it not explained well; at least, not in any video or written work I found in a cursory search. Regardless, I got things working […]

The Only Articles I Truly Regret Writing

If you’re any kind of creative individual you will likely relate to the fact that, inevitably, something you create will become something you wind up regretting. It’s extremely rare for anyone who makes anything to not have at least something they feel was a mistake, wasn’t good as it was released, or otherwise simply doesn’t […]

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 5: Let The Modding Begin!

Finally, after a couple of weeks of tinkering off and on with the European PlayStation 3 I wound up with, the system was ready for home and the modding process. Let’s go over one more time just what I had: The system is a launch era European market PlayStation 3. This means it has partial-hardware […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 98: Day Dreamin’ Davey – Episode Review

It’s time for a bit more of a traditional Nerd episode. This time the Nerd is taking a look at Day Dreamin’ Davey on the NES. This is a bit of an interesting case since, instead the usual suspects like LJN being behind this game in some way, it was developed by HAL laboratories, the […]

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 4: A New Power Supply And The Past Life Of The System

The past few articles have covered a week and a half word of time, from the system originally being left at the shop to this day about a week ago where I finally had time to do what I needed to with the system to make it usable at home. Keep in mind since the […]
