Wow, could I be any later with this entry? Seriously, this is two weeks overdue, but I’d rather cover it now than just skip it completely! In a funny case I originally delayed this due to Microsoft announcing the games lineup earlier than I expected, but not having a video released until right near the […]
Ah, February has proven to be as dead a month here as January was. This isn’t for lack of desire, simply lack of time: I’ve simply been too busy with work and various other projects to actually write new entries. It hasn’t been a waste, however – I’ve made quite a bit of progress on […]
Alright, January was a complete wash – a whole 6 entries over the month. Why? Well, I’ll get to that in a follow up entry, but simply put I was damn busy with things and it was such a chaotic month on a whole that all I could do was sit back and watch the […]
Here we are, another birthday for me. This one was certainly a more introspective one than previous years for a few reasons. For starters, the way the past year has been for the world has obviously been a rather unique situation — never before have those of us alive today faced an event quite like […]
Okay, January was supposed to be a pretty damned productive month for me, and it certainly has been, but not in so far as this website. I’ve certainly been neglecting things, but not for lack of caring — I’ve been far too busy to actually focus on Xadara for the past few weeks. Hell, I’m […]
Last week I was planning to ease into the year with some “lighter” subject matter, ranging between some tech projects I’ve been working on to things a bit more serious but still nothing too extreme — some light social commentary. Then Wednesday happened – the Capitol “Siege” that has somehow been the most hilarious yet […]
Pardon the relative silence, I’m right in the middle of a very busy week. Still, I felt like posting this relatively short entry to share that I’ve got some interesting phone equipment coming in which will certainly make for some quality text and video content — at least, for the more traditional telephony inclined kind […]
Every year I like to share the thoughts of my partner in crime, Prince Watercress, regarding the previous year and the upcoming one. His ceaseless stream of Let’s Plays and wrestling recaps are nothing short of incredible in their sheer volume and detail, and he’s really carved out a niche for himself – he handles […]
It goes without saying that 2020 proved to be one hell of a year. While for me it actually wasn’t all that bad, beyond a major spot in the early portion of Spring, it was still a rough one between work, personal life, and my online existence. Still, it was also a year of growth […]
It’s just about 6PM Central time for me as I begin writing this, and the year 2020 is coming to a close. Normally I’d take a bit of time to do a retrospective of the past year but, as we all know, it’s been a bit of a mess, to say the least. Even I […]
Would you believe I didn’t even find out about the event until nearly 12 hours after it happened? Yeah, I had apparently stayed off social media so well on Christmas day that it wasn’t until near 5PM that I learned anything had even occurred in my states capital! So, we know the deal – early […]
It’s the 12th and final day of Shitsmas and, as hinted at in the previous video the final gift the Nerd opens is a product by LJN. This time it isn’t just a game, but an entire game system! Well, not quite — it’s more of an early computer graphics device. Of course, it’s bad. […]
It’s the 11th day of Shitsmas. We’re almost done with game after horrible game, but not before we hit the final two, and today we have a pretty big one to contend with – Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure for the GameCube. Now, this seems like an awesome idea — a video game where you […]
For the 10th day of Shitsmas the Nerd opens not just a single game, but an entire freaking game system! Yep, for this one he gets a bit more than he hoped for with the Hyperscan game console released in 2006. Yes, James was already well into the AVGN series when this console was released […]
We’re at the 9th day of Shitsmas, and for this wonderful day the Nerd opens up an Atari 2600 game – Porky’s, based loosely on the 1981 film of the same name. This is actually one of the longer Shitsmas episodes and, quite honestly, is a complete review and really feels like a proper AVGN […]
