Aron Ra’s Systematic Classification of Life – Episode 1: The Root of The Tree
It’s time for something a bit different — in this entry we take a look at the first video in Aron Ra’s amazing “Systematic Classification of Life” series, and get a basic primer on what life actually is and the origins of taxonomy.
Why I Will Never “Debate” Kent Hovind
Debating Kent Hovind would be an evolutionary dead end, to say the least.
The Outright Insanity Of Kent Hovind
It’s time to take a broad look at one of the most out-there people online.
Solstice
A look at some of my thoughts on the state of my hobbies, projects, and online presence this past year, as well as things going forward into 2022.
This Steve Jobs Quote Perfectly Fits How I Feel About Life
I only just realized that today happens to mark the 10th anniversary of the passing of Steve Jobs. In realizing this I began thinking to how in the past few years I’ve gone from seeing him in a purely negative light to, while not ignoring his human faults, seeing him as a kind of inspiration. […]
I Just Can’t Do The Online Gaming Discussion Scene Anymore
I’ve been thinking quite a bit recently about my time in the online gaming scene — especially the past 2 or 3 years — and I’ve come to realize I simply can’t do it anymore. The scene has become virtually nothing but a might-makes-right popularity contest where passion, knowledge, and logic mean nothing — do […]
October 2021 Xbox Live Games With Gold
All right, it’s October now which means not just Halloween season is upon us but also time for a look at a new set games in the Games with Gold lineup. In the modern lineup we get Aeero and Hover. Ah, simple title names I don’t have to constantly triple check the spelling of as […]
September 2021 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Fashionably late to the party, here’s the September 2021 Games with Gold lineup. Is it good? Is it bad? Well, that’s what we’re here to take a look at. We open up with Warhammer: Chaosbane and Mulaka. Another Warhammer game? Mkay, this one is another rogue-like (or “Diablo Clone, if you prefer) and while I […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 135: Darkwing Duck – Episode Review
We’re long overdue for taking a look at a Nerd episode. Way too long overdue — Cinemassacre is back to pretty regular AVGN episodes, along with other content and it’s about time I do the same. Picking up where we left off we have Episode 135: Darkwing Duck for the TurboGrafx-16 (pronounced “Turbo Graphics Sixteen” […]
30 Years of Sonic
Today, June 23rd 2021, marks 30 years since the release of Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive for the rest of the world.) Quite a different beast in gaming compared to other platform titles like the Super Mario Bros. series, Sonic the Hedgehog was, first and foremost, based around speed. In fact, […]
Don’t Call Me Negative When You Ignore Things Like This
Yesterday was May 4th. Star Wars day to many. While I consider myself certainly a fan of the franchise, I honestly find May 4th a bit annoying. The date doesn’t actually have anything to do with Star Wars or George Lucas — it’s not the latters’ birthday or the release date of any film in […]
The Greatest Test Flight – STS-1
Today marked the 40th anniversary of the launch of Columbia on the first mission of the Space Shuttle Program, STS-1. It’s a little hard for me to think that it was that along ago, or that the program would go on for just over 30 years, ending in July of 2011 after 135 missions. Of […]
I Grow Tired Of This Bullshit From Full Grown Adults
While I was at work today the phone rang, as it regularly does. After all, I work in a video game sales and repair store — people are always calling wondering what we have, how much a service costs, or just wanting some advice on something. It’s a fun job, for the most part, and […]
14 Years Of Xadara
5,113 days ago I decided that I should register a domain name and select a hosting provider for a website to host what was, at the time, nothing more than a collection of music game related files and some discussion forums. That site was the very one you’re on, www.xadara.com, and in that time things […]
