Best Sports Card Websites and Blogs 2024

 


 

With major American sports as popular as ever, thanks to the proliferation of sports betting and daily fantasy sports leagues, there’s more of a hunger for sports related content than ever. But, there’s another major related interest, and that’s sports cards! Unfortunately, because of the major trading card boom of the pandemic, many websites came and went. Therefore, many lists of the best sports card websites and blogs quickly became out of date.

Raptor: Call of the Shadows - Obscure DOS Games

  Raptor: Call of the Shadows was one of my favorite PC games growing up. It was a top-down vertical scrolling shooter by Apogee Software & Cygnus Studios from 1994, running on DOS. It ’ s similar to another classic shooter PC game called Major Stryker, which I also enjoyed immensely as a kid. For whatever reason, Raptor has lived on, unlike many of its contemporaries.   Heck, I even found a YouTube streamer who played it on livestream in October 2017 ! This Raptor longplay on stream by cs188creations is super awesome. It ’ s 2 1/2 hours long, so don ’ t feel pressured to watch the whole thing. But, you can get the whole experience by watching it. He played it on Elite difficulty, the highest setting, WITHOUT SAVING! He died a couple of times, but that ’ s what you get from going hardcore!   Like many older games, there were some cheats that made the game easier. These included skipping levels and a “ god mode.” But, I always preferred to play the old fash...

The History of the Xperia Play Sony Ericsson Android Smartphone

    Plus, the Best Games for the Xperia Play Smartphone   The Xperia Play smartphone, released in early 2011, doesn ’ t have anywhere near the specs of today ’ s smartphones , of course. But, at the time, Android phones were still getting their feet wet in the smartphone market. I’d entirely forgotten about this gaming Sony Ericsson smartphone until I came across a YouTube video on the subject.   One of my favorite video gaming history YouTube channels is Lady Decade , who I discovered as a suggestion after watching a video from the Gaming Historian , another great channel. In particular, Lady Decade focuses her content on retro game systems, many of which have been forgotten by today. She also covers why major video gaming systems failed to live up to expectations at their time of release. Lady Decade also covers bootleg “ demakes” of popular Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games for the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. While these are amusing, it ’ s th...

Is Beedrill Good in Gen 3 and Gen 4? - Pokemon Competitive History

 In Pokemon Red and Blue, Beedrill was a quick evolving, but relatively underwhelming Pokemon. It had a below average dual typing with Bug and Poison, and no good moves besides Normal-type attacks which had to be learned through the use of TMs. But, in Generation 2, with the release of Gold and Silver, Beedrill gained considerable Special Defense and a brand-new Poison-type move with Sludge Bomb. In this second of three installments, we take a look at Beedrill ’ s evolution through Generations 3 and 4 of Pokemon. Unfortunately, Beedrill was one of many Pokemon not available in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Weedle, Kakuna, and Beedrill were only available to catch in Fire Red and Leaf Green, so they required trading over to the other games. This would even be the case in Generation 4. You can ’ t catch Weedle, Kakuna, or Beedrill normally in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum. It ’ s one of several Pokemon requiring Fire Red or Leaf Green inserted into the Game Boy Advance slot of the N...
