I got an email request for some video of my game room. I immediately thought, “Hell ya, man!”. Soon after that I completely lost interest. Then I was thinking about it a couple days later and just hours ago decided that it might be a pretty rad idea, so I used my New Media Communications [...]

I recently read AJ Glasser’s feature over at Kotaku.com wherein she breaks down how to throw a gamer party. That’s all fine and good if you like playing new games, but what about all the other games? What about the TurboGrafx and the Super Nintendos? Luckily, I have you covered. Having just thrown a classic [...]

Before I begin, I know that I promised a review last Friday, but Thursday night I got pukey sick and Friday my one year daughter did, so needless to say it wasn’t much of a relaxing weekend. The review still needs some work, but in the mean and in between time, I did get a [...]

I finally got a chance to get to the post office to pick up my package this weekend. It had been sitting there since Dec. 31st, which was all the more heart breaking. But it was well worth it when I opened up the securely fastened box to find:
