Duke Nukem Forever Atari 2600

I’ve written about Duke Nukem a bunch, but one thing I never did was something I did ages ago – made a functional prototype of Duke Nukem Forever for the Atari 2600.   It was an April fool’s joke I released on the 3D Realms site back in 2003.   The page I released for […]

My Story of 3D Realms / Apogee

Those who know me (and have read my blog over the years) know that I spent quite some time working for Scott Miller & George Broussard of Apogee Software (later 3D Realms).  Was probably the single most fun job I’ve ever had in my life, and to this day, I still wish the old team […]

“Game Over” Atari 2600/E.T. Documentary

I just got done watching the documentary from Microsoft called “Game Over”, which is the story of the Atari 2600 and the E.T. cartridge being buried in a landfill in New Mexico.  Wanted to write about it a bit, because several parts were pretty powerful for me.

My Xbox 360 Died Part III

If you’ve followed my blog at all, you may remember that my second Xbox 360 died in March of 2008. I talked about it here. This after my original 360 died back in Feb of 2007. Well, my third unit has now died, too. I posted about it on a private forum I belong to […]

Breaking the Money System in Animal Crossing Wii

I’ve been playing a lot of Animal Crossing: City Folk lately. I was hooked on this game in the last iteration on game consoles (that being the Gamecube version). This new one is mostly the same, and that’s a disappointment, but there’s enough small stuff changed that it doesn’t feel 100% like the old version. […]

Iron Chef America

I was a fan of the original Iron Chef show from Japan, and watched Iron Chef America for a time. It’s a respectful enough sequel to the original, unlike that fiasco with William Shatner. Anyway, I guess I should have expected this. A videogame based on Iron Chef. But I wonder how the heck it […]

My Xbox 360 Died Part II

As the two or three of you who regularly read this blog might remember, back in February of 2007, I had a problem where my original Xbox 360 died. My original Xbox 360 was bought on January 1, 2006, and lasted until February 3, 2007. At that time, I had been just out of warranty, […]

My Xbox 360 Died

Saturday is the day my wife works, and Daddy gets to take care of Samantha. As that’s gone on awhile now, I’ve gotten better at it, and I find true enjoyment at spending time with my daughter, and watching her grow up right in front of me. Still, I do enjoy nap time. :) So […]

Xbox 360

So far I have to say I’m enjoying my Xbox 360 a lot. Part of it is the rarity thing, since they’re still not terribly easy to get, the fact that I have one alone is cool. But what’s terribly fun to me is the interface of the system. It is always available no matter […]

You bastards!

As most people who are interested in videogames are doing right now, I went on a hunt for an Xbox 360 this afternoon. I didn’t hit every store that could conceivably have one, but I hit all the major stores in my immediate area, especially after hearing the story on the net about the Best […]

Who Marathon: Patrick Troughton

Today I reached a second milestone in my Doctor Who project.  I’ve completed the Patrick Troughton era.  As I did with William Hartnell, I wanted to add some words about the Second Doctor. There were a total of 119 episodes made with Patrick, covering most of Series 4, as well as all of 5 and […]

Deep Purple Mk IV

I’ve been a big Black Sabbath fan for a long time, and when you know Sabbath, you know they have some lineup turnover – especially in the 80’s and 90’s.  But they’re not alone.  Nearly every band I like has some sort of turnover over the years (very few don’t – Weird Al & U2). […]

I went to see Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines over the weekend. I, like most folks hold Terminator 2: Judgement Day up as one of the greatest action movies ever. That still holds up today, as I watched T2 the night before going to see T3. T2 is still great. I was surprised at […]

Over the weekend, my brother and I attended the Austin Gaming Expo which took place in Round Rock, Texas. Most of it was related to classic gaming, with a big emphasis on the Atari 2600, but there was more modern stuff there (in fact, there were two seperate Halo tournaments going on). It was nice […]

One of my two Tonkinese cats just had a birthday yesterday. Kira Nerys Siegler turned 3 yesterday. She was the first of our two Tonkinese cats, and is a wonderful cat. She’s a great lap cat, a cat who loves to climb up on you and sit on your chest if you’re in the right […]
