Auctioning ROMS for great justice

So, there’s this little museum I want to start. But it’s a big, hairy, long ass plan, so I won’t go into it here. Suffice it to say that the IRS needs $ for the non-profit application to be considered, and it’s money I kind of don’t really have. Not to mention the money needed [...]

Why Gamers Suck

Over the years, I have met my fair share of gamers. One-on-one, in person, there are few I cannot tolerate, or get along with, or even befriend. They’re a generally nice bunch, and there are many types: board, video, PC, Role Playing, LARPers. I love all manner of gamers, and I really don’t have a [...]

GameRanger Arrives for PC

Anyone who loves old PC games knows what a pain in the ass it is to play them online. Or even at LAN parties. But my friend Scott Kevill in Australia has a solution. He’s ported the GameRanger player matching service to PC, and it is fabulous. It supports 500 games, including Baldur’s Gate and [...]

Cabbage Patch Kids Atari Box

CPUwiz, over at Atari Age made up this box for his copy of Cabbage Patch Kids Adventures in the Park. A very well done piece!

Warhammer: Age of Reckoning Launches

The Mythic follow-up to Dark Age of Camelot launched today. Warhammer, Age of Reckoning is a hoot. I’ve been playing for a few weeks now, and I have to say that I’m plesently surprised. The game is a lot of fun, for an MMO. The emphasis is on team work, and large battles between opposite [...]

Who Knew Mega Man 3 Had Lyrics?

Good stuff.

insertcredit.com Is Still Radical Ninja

If ever there were a site deserving of my favorite approbatory “Radical Ninja,” it were insertcredit.com. Today, Brandon broke a Brazilian story about a new stand-alone console for that country. Long live the Mega-Drive 3! Even if it’s just being pressed onto a board with no cartridge slot. Course, it’s not Sega really doing the [...]

Boom Town Back Plate

My wonderful friends at the MCRC were wondering what to do with this piece that they had donated. It’s the back glass plate for a pinball game, obviously named Boom Town. The Internet isn’t exactly a hotbed of pinball information, but from what I gather, this is from a 1941 machine made by the small [...]

Box of Carts from Laney Swap Meet

Hit my favorite flea market this past Sunday at Laney college in Oakland. While I didn’t score anything amazing, I did get a legal box full of carts for $30. The guy wanted $50, but I walked away, and by the time I was 2 booths down, he was shouting “$30!” All of the above [...]

The Idiots of Garry’s Mod

Garry’s Mod is an addition to the game Half-Life 2, and it allows you to, essentially, play with everything in the game. That includes the people, places, things and even the physics. A buncha folks make movies with it, and I think the best of the bunch comes from the Idiots of Garry’s Mod. Above [...]
