Well, you can’t say April wasn’t a productive month here on Xadara. Hell, things almost felt down right normal the past month, especially when you consider everything going on globally right now. So, with one month ending and another beginning, it’s time for the “What’s Coming” article for May 2020. Right now I’m in a […]
Something I’m known for among friends, family, and co-workers is the fact that, since mid 2018, in any situation where I carry a laptop with me my go-to machine, 99 out of 100 times, is a 2010 MacBook from Japan. Yes, I’m completely serious — my main portable computer, of all the options I have, […]
It’s the end of the month once again, which means another look at the upcoming free games on the Xbox One and Xbox 360 via the Games with Gold program. This time, unlike last month, we do get the traditional video, so I can actually cover these games in the same style as I normally […]
Just over a year ago I finally made the switch from a relatively modest Android phone to an iPhone — in particular an iPhone SE. No, not the new one, of course — the older one which, apparently, many feel is the “best iPhone ever made” given its form factor and inclusion of a headphone […]
I’ve got a bit of a habit of planning out articles but never actually writing them. Sometimes I just have to say “forget it” and let them go, as they wind up being too dated and no longer relevant, or I just have better things to cover. Still, other times I feel like they would […]
Moreover, remember when the motto of the site was “Broadcast Yourself?” I sure as hell do, and at this stage the platform is about as far away from what It was when it started as is possible — it went from being just a simple place to share videos, to a place to really be […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
File this one under “random things that happen in your life,” today marks one year since I was greeted by a very tiny, very toothy and very angry little visitor – a baby Opossum! Yep, one of the more random things to write about but I’ve been wanting to talk about this guy for a […]
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 […]
I was intending to write this article a month ago, around the 13th anniversary of this sites founding, but given how much chaos last month was it got delayed while I worked on some other more critical tasks. Today, to finish off this week I figured now would be as good a time as ever […]
Yesterday I told the story of how I wound up having to put a new hard drive in one of my Mac mini systems and, thanks to that, also reinstall Mac OS so the computer would be usable. After an entire night of messing with the system and figuring out just what had gone on, […]
You ever have one of those night where you just have to get something done before you can go to sleep? That’s how last night was for me, thanks to the death of a hard drive in one of my 2 Mac mini systems. The unit in question is an old Core 2 Duo system […]
From a period around 2013 until maybe 2017 or 2018 at the latest, I tried my damnedest to have fun with a YouTube channel which focused on my various projects, interests, and the like, much like any other even remotely “geeky” person tends to do. For a while it was fun, but soon, thanks to […]
