Sometimes, with some projects, you bite off a bit more than you can chew. Over the past month I’ve found this to be true with my my attempt to cover every episode of the animated series King of the Hill. It’s one of those things I wanted to do because the idea sounded fun, and […]
Earlier today I published an article on a social media mishap which happened last week. The article went through quite a few permutations during creation, including a few name changes. I didn’t like the original title I had given the article and, after a few tweaks, had found something that fit what I was going […]
Spam email can be quite hilarious at times. Especially hilarious are spam emails which threaten you with some kind of horrible outcome if you don’t comply with the demands listed. Yep, extortion email! These, sadly, actually work in some cases, hence why they keep going. You can find a previous example of this in an […]
As mentioned in the “What’s Coming For October 2019” article yesterday, I’m planning on a Monday through Friday schedule for posts this month, on a trial basis at least, to see how that affects things. There’s a few reasons for this, which I’ll go over here. Perhaps other bloggers may enjoy my insights and thought […]
Oh boy, another one of these “what’s coming” posts where I talk about all the stuff I want to do, but never get done, around here. This months article will be no different, so let’s cut to the chase. Last month I decided to just “go with the flow” and while that was quite relaxing, […]
I feel like I write these kinds of entries far more often than I should, but then again I feel like there’s always something new coming up throwing a wrench into the works. I’ll keep this one brief — I’ve got a nice little list of topics I’ve wanted to cover recently (consider it the […]
Fall begins here in the Northern Hemisphere on September 23rd. When you think of fall, you think of cool winds coming from the north, leaves falling off trees, Halloween and maybe Thanksgiving, jackets, and not having to run the AC all damn day. At least, that’s the way television and such have portrayed it for […]
It took quite a few hours of downloading, image selecting, editing, uploading, and article refinement to make it happen, but it’s actually complete — every single Angry Video Game Nerd episode review here on Xadara has at least one image associated with it! I’d estimate it took about 5 hours of solid work to make […]
When I said at the beginning of the month that September was going to be a “when I feel like it” month for publishing content, I wasn’t kidding — I’ve written almost nothing the past week and a half, but for good reason. As mentioned in a previous update, I’ve been taking a break from […]
Last month a began a process to update all of my previous Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to have images from the episode being reviewed. This was something I neglected when starting the project and in retrospect wish I had done from the beginning. In any case, the last batch of episodes I did […]
At the end of every month I like to set up a “goals list” for the next month on this website in the form of these “What’s coming” articles. Each month I make some progress but never really “complete” these goals. This month is going to be different, as I’m not going to set any […]
I was watching an old episode of Oddity Archive the other day and while it was based on a rather grim topic (nuclear disaster preparedness in the UK) an image was shown in the episode for a brief moment which, I would have to guess based on context in the episode, is from a film […]
The other night, after publishing my review of episode 67, I finally began the task of adding images to my previous episode reviews. I wanted to “liven up” the reviews since I had never put in episode images before — I thought it wouldn’t be necessary, and I didn’t want to waste space in the […]
The 90’s was an interesting time for animation. After a few decades of what amounted to “cartoons are just for kids” thinking, things had begun to change. On one hand, Nickelodeon introduced their Nicktoons line, animation made for the kids that adults could watch and enjoy with them — made for entertainments sake. On the […]
You know, I never expected the Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to get as far as they did — I’m in Season 4 and am incredibly optimistic on where this is going, as it’s gone from being just a fun little side project to something to really enjoy! In retrospect, however, I didn’t plan […]
