I know, I’m late on this. It’s been a week, whatever. I still wanted to write about this one. Last week when Sony unveiled the PlayStation 5 logo it was met with, shall we say, mixed reactions. The internet quickly mocked the fact that it looked just like the previous PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 […]
Yesterday, January 14th 2020, marked the end of support date for Windows 7, and with that came the same cries of anger that came when Microsoft finally killed of Windows XP support back in 2014. All over the internet (especially Twitter) you can find people actually angry at Microsoft for ending support for the decade […]
Back in early 2016 I wrote an article titled “Blocked for a Reason.” The article covered the subject of blocking people on social media – in simple form, the reason behind such (at least for me) and what it actually means when that event happens. I thought it would be good, since it’s been nearly […]
Time to start on Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd, and what a game James chose to look at for this episode — Action 52 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game is legendary among gamers for the same reason many games James has covered in the series are: it’s terrible. The difference […]
I really didn’t want to end today without having written something. I’ve been on a bit of a hot streak recently with posts here, but today work really demanded my all and since I’ve gotten home I’ve felt like nothing but trying to relax. Still, I want to keep the momentum of this hot streak […]
Next up on the absurd rumors surrounding the upcoming consoles from Microsoft and Sony, we have the price question on launch – a pretty big question for early adopters and, historically, a factor which can actually set the course for sales rates on a given system compared to another — people are likely to buy […]
Yesterday Sony decided to show at least something related to the upcoming PlayStation 5 console by showing us…. The logo for the console. Okay, that’s fine. We have an official logo to use in media. Great. Awesome. Time to move on with my day and oh, this is being talked about.. quite a bit… by […]
I know, I’m late to this one. I’ve been busy but didn’t want to let this one go by without saying my peace on the subject. A week and a half ago Mike Matei (of Cinemassacre fame) posted a tweet which became a pretty “hot take” for a while regarding the use of “rewind” features […]
This rumor has been circulation for quite a few months now, but it really got into gear this past weekend when an article was published on comicbook.com (yes, a comic book website… what they are doing covering games is beyond me) saying that, based on speculation from some guy called “HipHopGamer” (someone I’ve never heard […]
I’ve mentioned before about the massive backlog I have of articles to write, Many of them are so far gone from being important that they just aren’t worth it. Others are, at most, a week old and are still relevant enough. The internet, however, seems to want to run on its own time — a […]
It’s now the year 2020, and everyone, as they tend to be year after year, is celebrating the new year as some kind of chance for new beginnings as well as taking the time to look back over the past, and with this being a big round number everyone is also talking about how we’re […]
Here we go, the first post of 2020 and of course it’s the obligatory “What’s Coming” post. You can’t say I’m not starting off optimistically, right? Right, let’s begin. First thing I’d say is it stands right now I’m hoping to keep up with my post schedule. It really has made things better on a […]
Well, that’s it. The final post of the year, the one where I take a look back at the previous 365 or so days and ask myself “was this all worth it?” Okay, not really, but I like to see what all happened over the past year. As I kind of “go with the flow” […]
Earlier this year I realized something — in a great many ways I’ve pulled a complete 180 from who I used to be a decade ago. Namely in opinions about some topics, preferences for some things and general interests. It’s kind of funny to think back, but given the stuff that can happen to a […]
With the Christmas holiday behind us I thought I’d do something nice for the community at large, for what its worth, and share some simple tips on taking care of the console you, or a friend, may have gotten (new or used, it’s all the same here), all from the perspective of someone who’s been […]
