Messing with Insignia. Is good stuff.

Category: Games

Growing up, I never got a chance to experience the original Xbox Live. I actually didn't have an original Xbox for a good part of my childhood, starting out with the 360. Well, now I am looking into a childhood experience I never had, and so far, I am loving it to death. Insignia is a service that aims to replace Xbox Live functionality for the original Xbox, which has been shut down since 2010. S... » Continue Reading

This Wii U making me nostalgically unwise

Category: Games

So I decided to make up a brand new Nintendo Network ID on my Wii U, just to see if anyone was still online on Mario Kart 8. There are a couple, but it seemed to be just a couple nostalgic pros or something, nothing I could ever go up against. Making this account and seeing all the ghost town remains of some of these services is making me a little nostalgic though. So many once populated spaces, n... » Continue Reading

Mario Kart 8 is one of my new favourite games

Category: Games

So I recently got a copy of Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. A little late to the party, I know. Now, I'm not really all too big on racing games, the only two I ever really played being Burnout and Mario Kart Wii. Well, after getting a not fried Wii U, and seeing that Mario Kart 8 was only like, $20 on it, I decided to give it a go. Holy hell, have I been missing out. This is just an absolute blast, feelin... » Continue Reading

I cannot believe Wii Fit is actually working for me

Category: Games

So I've had this thing for over a week now. My entire point of this whole thing was to be a fitness trojan horse. My brain is incredibly stupid and isn't motivated by such meaningless things like "Fitness", or "Health". Why would I ever take care of myself when I can spend all day, every day, lounging around drinking soda and mindlessly scrolling through Youtube and social media? No no, I need som... » Continue Reading

Seeing CRTs on eBay being advertised as "Gaming" or "Retro" unleashes a mild primal rage within

I don't remember Wii Fit being nearly as direct and brutal as it is

Category: Games

So I decided to grab myself Wii Fit Plus. I thought it would be fun, relive a bit of my childhood, maybe use it to help me get a routine going, all that fun stuff. Day one went mostly fine, with one slight issue cropping up. I gave it all my details, my height, my date of birth, let it take my measurements and weigh me, all is good. And then it just point blank tells me I'm obese, and that my over... » Continue Reading

After fifteen years, I have finally completed a childhood goal

Category: Games

I have finally, after all these years, beat the entirety of Super Mario Galaxy. All 121 stars as both Mario and Luigi. Mario Galaxy has always been one of my alltime favourite games. The atmosphere, the music, the gameplay, all of it was fantastic. Cosmic Luigi was a little bitch though lol. Finally, I can put this old favourite of mine to rest. Now to finish Galaxy 2 » Continue Reading

Looking at the ol' Tracker scene. I'm intrigued.

Category: Music

Not gonna lie, I know jack shit about this whole thing. All I know is that old computers make cool beep boop sounds and it is jamming. I've had a bit of an interest in things like chiptune, though I've never really dug into it. Just kinda listened to some of those compilation videos. This is sort of the same way, a few of these tracker compilations popping up in my recommended. Next thing I know, ... » Continue Reading

I really need to stop doing stupid shit with my PC

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

So I've been using Linux as my main system for a while. Works good, I can do work, I can play games, I can watch videos, all that fun stuff. One this remains annoyingly difficult, however: VR VR is one of the things keeping me tethered to Windows. Most of the games I play, Pistol Whip, Rez Infinite, Beat Saber, they all work, albiet with some minimal issues. One game, however, ChilloutVR, just doe... » Continue Reading

New update on my old junk tower: I found a purpose for it [Edit on OS choice section]

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

It's been a long while since I've thought about this machine. Decided to take another crack at fixing it up. I've been itching to play some of my old childhood games again. Bejeweled 2, Zuma, Luxor, Tumble Bugs, all the good stuff. Sure, I could play them on modern hardware, but that always presents some issues. Most of these games do NOT play nice on modern OSes, even through Steam. On Windows, m... » Continue Reading

Got myself Outlast. Some spooky shit

Category: Games

Had fifty bucks laying around, thought I'd nab myself a game, and Outlast was my choice. One of the few games that actually slows me down, not from difficulty, but from fear. The only other game I recall doing that was Deadspace. Even worse is that I remember watching a playthrough of it, but that was a decade ago, so I remember very little of it. Just enough to know v » Continue Reading

Just a note for anyone under 18, I will not accept your friend requests.

Category: Friends

I've been getting a few friend requests from some rather young people. I have stated on my profile that I do not accept friend requests from minors, but that doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent. It's nothing personal, and I don't doubt that you're a nice person. I'd just rather be friends with people closer to my age. » Continue Reading
