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.
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…

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 —…

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…

CBS Celebrates Twilight Zones 50th B-Day By Hocking Merchandise
CBS announces new licensing agreements to hock Twilight Zone merchandise inlcuding a US postage stamp (probably the reason stamps are going up to 44 cents in May). Other products will include games, dolls and Hallmark ornaments. So I guess the new Star Trek film isn’t the only thing CBS is whoring out.

I Wasn’t Gonna Eat It
Like Pooh Bear said, “I was only gonna taste it.” I don’t think this bad boy was only gonna taste it. He is known for chewing on wires. I had to pull up those PS2 cables before he got a chance to rip into them. Boris thinks anything and everything is a cat toy!

Review: Fly Fusion Pentop Computer
LeapFrog FLY Fusion Pentop Computer is more than just a digital pen. It is an educational tool as well. It is made by Leapfrog so we adults that are using it sometimes feel like we are using a kid’s toy more than a productive piece of equipment. I would say that the fly fusion is…

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…

Wii Let the Downloading Begin
Wii lets you download old school video games by buying points and using those points towards those downloads. Technically you are not buying the games you are licensing the games so I am not sure what will happen should Nintendo ever pull that license. I guess your Wii would just stop playing the games. Which…

Football, Baseball, and Basketball Oh My
Sports. Some of us hate them and some of us love them. I fall on the hate them end of that scale. But I am surrounded by fans so I see more than my fair share of sports without even wanting to. At least I am luckier than most as I only have football to…

Wild Party With The Kids
 Beer and cigarettes, not your usual treats for kids is it? When my nieces were little and my mom would be watching them they would stop by this little local general store and buy just that, beer and cigarettes. Okay, so it was root beer and candy sticks (called candy cigarettes back in my day).…

More Star Trek Handheld Games
After coming across the Coleco Star Trek game on the Handheld Games Museum I decided to poke around and see what other Star Trek games they had listed and which ones I did not know about. Here is what I found…       Milton Bradley Microvison Star Trek Phaser Strike Collins Wrath of Khan…
