I’m going to get to reviewing Season 2 of the Angry Video Game Nerd soon enough, and I thought it would be cool to share the general idea of how I’ll go about it, as while Season 1 was straightforward, Season 2 provides some challenges. Season 2 consists of 24 episodes, spanning through 2007 and […]
I can’t tell if it’s intentionally them avoiding the issue, or if they are truly that stupid that they don’t understand the hate they are getting, but Photobucket is seriously not actually saying anything on what people are giving them hell for. To capitalize on this, they posted this link on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/photobucket/photos/a.10150566349440632.667777.52045600631/10158873616505632/?type=3&permPage=1 […]
As we discussed the other day and as you probably well know by now if you’re even reading this, Photobucket eliminated hotlinking on all but their most expensive account forms, basically ruining untold numbers of blogs and other websites across the web, and the internet, needless to say, isn’t taking kindly to this. Now, that […]
I thought updating readers to plans for the upcoming month would be a good idea, and so, here we go! This will probably become a regular thing, if only to fill article space, so, eh, take it for what it is. First up, we have a return to sharing some old videos about various subjects […]
The long-lived image hosting website Photobucket just gave a big middle finger to the blogging community in the form of a change to their terms of use which disables any form of hotlinking on any account save for the quite expensive top tier account type: the “Plus 500 Plan” Let me back up a bit, […]
A week ago, there were somewhere around 4 posts a day, as a side effect of E3 going on. Now, a week later, it’s been far more quiet. The reason behind it is quite simple: I’ve been taking some time for myself, trying to enjoy gaming, and just relax. E3 proved this year to be, […]
Last night I made a post about an issue I discovered while begging the article-storm that is my coverage of the more interesting announcements of E3: The fact that a main blog sharing tool I use, Triberr, has a 14 post per week import limit, and the storm of 8 articles over 2 days pushed […]
So, you may recall that Podcast I was working on late last year, titled XadaraCast (yeah, not the most original name, sure). Well, as it stands, I’ve taken down the only 3 episodes that were produced and am putting the project on Hiatus, for now, for a general reboot. The reasons are varied, but it […]
I took the opportunity this weekend, though not by original intent, to work on other things, away from Xadara: namely the day jobs, and just going out and enjoying some things. I’m well beyond behind on articles, and video making, but that’s fine; the previous few articles have trended quite well, for what they are, […]
It was bound to happen, sooner or later – I’m starting to get slightly burnt out on writing about some things. Oddly, of all the things it could be, rocket launches. Not classic ones, far from it, but current ones. It’s all the same stuff, really, and while each launch is unique to watch, it […]
So, I’ve explained to the best of my ability just what the name “xadara” actually means (if anything) and the origins and story of the website itself, but one question still remains: What’s the point? Indeed, that’s the question that is probably most important, but can be answered so simply, What’s the point? Well, there […]
I’m sure it’s a question that’s come up to people who stumble across this site: What is Xadara? Does it have some kind of meaning? Is it just a name? How do you even pronounce it? Where does it come from? Might as well cover it all, for those curious. Let’s begin! What is the […]
That’s right, this little hole in the wall website has been around for a whole decade! Call out from work, school, or whatever you have going on and get ready to party! No, actually, don’t do that. Be a responsible person and continue your normal life. Seriously though, it has indeed been 10 years to […]
Sometimes, even when I have a massive backlog of things to write about, I just don’t want to write. I want to game, I want to go thrifting, I want to read a book, I wanna watch a movie; anything but writing for the website. It isn’t because I don’t care or because I don’t […]
Today I finally got started on some of the long-overdue site updates that I mentioned the other week (see Coming Soon: Even Better Site Organization). These updates will make for easier navigation and discovery of other articles and more long-term content that readers may enjoy. Anyone who follows the site knows I tend to write […]
