Introduction Duke Nukem 3D is officially 30 years old. I don’t usually cover video games, but this one meant something special to me growing up. I played the Nintendo 64 version that came out in 1997 — the “cleaner” version with less cussing and nudity because Nintendo wanted to keep things family‑friendly. Didn’t matter. It was still a classic. Video -  Click Here! The Game Itself I’ve played Total Meltdown and the 20th Anniversary Edition with Episodes 4 and 5, but the N64 version is the one burned into my memory. It was one of my favorite games alongside Doom. I’d play it for hours before I eventually lost the itch for gaming over the last 5–10 years. Duke had attitude, weird one‑liners from Jon St. John, and a ton of game modes. DukeMatch let you kick computer ass or play with friends. You had Survival, solo runs, and co‑op. Solo meant you had to be careful — die and you’re starting over or loading your last save. Co‑op meant you could die a million times, but you’d lose your w...

  Introduction Guns N’ Roses have been releasing new singles over the past few years, including “Nothin’” and “Atlas.” All of these tracks came from the old Chinese Democracy era. In a new interview, Slash confirmed that the vault is officially empty — those were the last leftovers. He also said the band plans to release a compilation of all the recent singles, and that the next GN’R album will be made up of completely new material. I break down what this means for fans and why this update matters. Closing Thoughts I have liked Slash more with Myles than anything GNR has done in years. But cool to see new music out of GNR. Are you excited or like me for the new album? Let me know your thoughts. Comment below!

  Introduction A lot of wrestling fans treat the person on TV like a hero or a friend. They’re not. They’re performers doing a job. I talk about a Twitter exchange I had years ago with Dustin Rhodes (Goldust) that stuck with me. It bothered me at the time, and it’s a good example of how wrestlers forget that their words online can hit harder than they realize. Closing Thoughts Fans remember things — sometimes for life. Feel free to share your story if you have one like mine or feel free to give your thoughts! Comment below!

  Introduction A quick breakdown of why Metallica’s No Life ’Til Leather reissue never happened — the credit dispute, the drama behind the scenes, and how it kept a legendary demo locked away. Also, a bit on if Dave got paid his royalties on Kill Em All and a little history. Video Closing Thoughts I think both bands are great, but I think it's time for Dave to move on. What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Let me know your thoughts! Reply below!

  Introduction I’ve listened to both Iron Maiden and Judas Priest for years, and while I enjoy both, I’ve always connected more with one of them. This post breaks down why. I’ll cover the eras of both bands, what I liked from each discography, and ultimately which band wins for me. Link to Video: Click Here! Iron Maiden I liked some of the Paul Di’Anno era of Iron Maiden. Paul sang on Iron Maiden and Killers . He was fired in 1981 because the band wanted someone more commercial for their evolving sound. Bruce Dickinson came in shortly after, with his first album being The Number of the Beast . Bruce would sing on the next several albums up through Fear of the Dark . Bruce left in 1993 due to creative stagnation and wanting to focus on his solo career. During the next few years, Blaze Bayley became Maiden’s new singer. Blaze was eventually let go in 1999 for business reasons. Bruce returned that same year, and his first album back was Brave New World . He has sung on every album fr...

  Introduction In this post, I talk about why social media can be bad for you based on what these platforms push. The type of material they promote affects your mental health, how you see yourself, and how you interact with others. People forget we’re all human. And honestly, if social media disappeared tomorrow, it might not be the worst thing. Video -  Click Here! Type of Material TikTok and YouTube can push helpful content — music, positivity, creators who make you feel seen. But both platforms have a toxic side depending on what you post. Facebook and X are no different. Facebook and X reward anger, arguments, and negativity. They don’t reward kindness or happiness. X pushes politics, adult content, and outrage. Facebook pushes rage and drama. People are tired of it, and that’s why both platforms are losing users. X is losing money and losing users to like 12 to 15% every year. If social media rewarded kindness the same way it rewards chaos, more people would want to join....

  Introduction In this post, I tell you about 10 stories around the music of Heavy Metal. From Metallica to AC/DC, you will read about ten stories that will rock you out of your seat. These stories if happened could have changed lineups or even bands like Pantera may have a different legacy. 1.John Bush Almost Joined Metallica In the early ’80s, James Hetfield wasn’t confident in his singing. He had the riffs, the writing, the attitude — but he didn’t think he had the voice. Metallica wanted a frontman who could command a stage, and John Bush of Armored Saint was at the top of their list. Bush had the grit, power, and presence Metallica admired. They asked him to join and become the lead singer for what would become Kill ’Em All .  But Bush turned them down out of loyalty to Armored Saint. That one decision forced James to step into the role he doubted — and his voice became one of the most iconic in metal history. Meanwhile, Armored Saint carved out their own legacy with clas...
