  • Playing Myst Again After 25 Years

    Playing Myst Again After 25 Years

    This game really got under my skin back in the day. Sadly, I never finished it and as PCs became more advanced you could no longer play the old software on the new systems. Cyan tried keeping up with the times by releasing new editions and sequels to the original. Since this milestone 25th anniversary…

  • Sorry But This Blog Is About to Become All About Myst.

    Sorry But This Blog Is About to Become All About Myst.

    Since I got the game on my Switch (and phone and pc) I am determined to give it my best effort. What that means for you, dear reader, is a bunch of posts about my endeavors. I know there are a ton of walk throughs out there on the web. I am not trying to…

  • Merlin the Most Awesome 70s Handheld Game

    As a kid I got a Merlin for Christmas or my birthday one year and I loved that game. I still have my original Merlin sadly one of the LED lights is burnt out. I will probably need to try and fix that at some point. I spent so many hours playing with this game.…

  • Kerplunk

    Growing up we did not have the game Kerplunk. Our cousin, Carla, did. So it was a fun thing we got to play whenever we went over to our Aunt’s house as kids. I remember going up to her room and pulling out the game, putting it together and playing it (and probably losing  —…

  • Tonys Pizza Rules Snack Time

    This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Tony’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine. OMG! Have you tried the new Tony’s Pizza yet? It’s the new Crispy Crust Pizza from Tony’s and it is yummy. We almost always have a bunch of Tony’s frozen pizzas in our freezer, but did not…

  • Violent Video Games: To Ban or Not To Ban

    I was just over at SheSpeaks.com (trying to sign up for a product test) when I stumbled onto their blog post about this video game that even I think is rather disgusting (coming from me that means a lot). Mind you, I am not one for censorship, but this game pushes the envelope (even my…

  • Name the 50 Aliens on This Shirt

    I had so much fun with my friends trying to figure out the 51 Robots on my other Chop Shop t-shirt that I thought I would do the same here with the 50 Aliens shirt. (Both of which are highly recommended by me as being both uber cool and uber geeky.) Here’s what I got…

  • Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

    Who knew that the game of rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock shown on the Big Bang Theory was and actual game? Not I. I found out the other day while poking around ThinkGeek.com they made a t-shirt (which is pretty cool in its own right) and they linked to the guy who came up with…

  • WTF is 31337?

    It is true that you learn something new every day. (You may not know you learned and you might forget it soon after you learn, but you do.) For me today I learned what 31337 was and no it isn’t the lottery numbers. I thought I was a geek, but there is a lot of…

  • Thoughts on Jodi

    I am not really the Jodi Foster fan in the family, I just get pulled along for the ride, so to speak. While I do enjoy most of her films, I am not ga-ga over her like some people I know. So then, why am I writing about her today? Sometimes one of the keyword…

  • Real Life Mario Kart

    Mario Kart is one heck of hard game to find. I had to borrow a friend’s to see if I like it before resorting to ordering it online. I guess I might have to buy it, as it is pretty fun. Although I do suck at it guess I’ll get better with practice. I ran…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Rock Band for Wii

    This week’s I Want It Wednesday post is pretty simple. As you can see by my earlier posts I obviously have a Wii. It took me a while and at first I wasn’t sure I was falling for all the hype. Then my nieces got one and I went over to play. Big mistake. First…
