Oh boy, another one of these updates. I’m sure you all just love when it’s one of these posts and not actual content! (That’s sarcasm, by the way.. just thought I’d clarify) Anyway, right, this is going to be a quick one. I’ve been a good bit more busy than usual with many other things, […]
Here’s another classic bit of rocket launch footage that I thought would be cool to share; the launch of the Gemini 10 Agena Target Vehicle on an Atlas-D booster. One of the goals of project Gemini was docking with, and working in relation to, a target vehicle in Earth orbit. The Agena Target Vehicle served, […]
I feel myself having to say this point blank every single year. The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, commonly known as E3, is a trade show. It is not some kind of contest. There are no “winners” or “losers” at the event, it is simply a trade show, just as much as CES is for general […]
Might as well cover this one while it’s still somewhat hot – here we have the trailer for the next expansion to Destiny 2, this one titled “Forsaken.” Given the track record for Destiny 2 content in the public eye, I’m not expecting too much from this one. Yeah, I still play Destiny.. sometimes.. when […]
I don’t know what I was thinking in trying to cover E3 this year. This entire event is, quite simply, far too massive for me to take a stab at given I’m just one person, and I don’t even like E3 all that much to begin with. The core presentations alone are far too much […]
Finishing out the “big 3” presentations for E3 2018, we have the Nintendo Direct stream from earlier today. The big deal for this one is, of course, details on the new Super Smash Bros. game, titled “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” but Nintendo did cover a solid assortment of new titles, some in greater detail than […]
Following up from the rather massive Microsoft / Xbox presentation, here we have the full Sony presentation at E3 2018. Now, I paid zero attention to this presentation. Why? Because I don’t have a Playstation 4, and the gist of what Sony offers doesn’t interest me. That simple. There are some cool games I would […]
Might as well get to the bulk of my E3 coverage this year: the actual presentation by the major players — at least, the ones I care to share here directly. As I’ve made known over the years, I only pay as much attention to E3 as I need to to be aware of what’s […]
You don’t see much of arcades anymore. Over the past decade they have all but disappeared in all but the most touristy, high casual traffic areas of the United States. In the video shared below, YouTuber AdamTheWoo takes a look at the “Fun Factory” arcade at Redondo Beach Pier near Los Angeles, California. This looks […]
Every year I make it a point to only halfway care about E3. The event is generally just a concerted hype show and nothing more at this stage, about as outdated to me as many consider newspapers and the like. That being said, I’m still a gamer, and still have to pay some attention to […]
Oh, hi. You might remember me. My name is Chris, and I’m the guy who used to write an article a day here at Xadara, but over the past 6 months has cut back on this, much to his own displeasure. As much as I’m trying to get back to heavy writing, I wind up […]
Yet another change with everyone’s favorite social media platform – Facebook is getting rid of the the “trending” section due to changes in how the user base uses the site. Facebook explains this in their post on the subject by saying “We’ve seen that the way people consume news on Facebook is changing to be […]
May 2018 proved to be quite a productive month for me and my blogging – 29 articles, more than I’ve done since January. I guess I’m getting back into the swing of things. Of course, the 45th anniversary of the launch of Skylab helped with that, giving me a set of articles to write about […]
I apologize that I don’t have more time to go into this in this article, but I wanted to throw this out there quickly enough for what it’s worth to other bloggers and those interested in the subject. Last year Photobucket began charging for the ability to hotlink images – something bloggers have been using […]
Every year, before E3 Microsoft seems to really get behind on some of their monthly videos – in this case, the “Games with Gold” videos at the end of each month which show you what next months games are going to be. At least, I want to say E3 preparation is the cause of the […]
