Jeeeez, The Penguin Lessons is an obscenely pleasant and delightful little film.

Iโ€™m always a little sad that the least known and celebrated people in the games industry are the engineers and artists.

The commercials suck and so does the game. There. I said it.

Food can be both inauthentic and delicious.

Umpire clinics for our district start tomorrow, and Iโ€™ll be instructing along side some of my favorite guys. Very excited for the season to start!

I think there is a small creature in my wall. I am hearing a weird noise at night. Do not like.

Modding fairly common old consoles with modern power and AV solutions is always acceptable in my opinion. This Intellivision II now has USB C power and composite out.

Holy shit it even emulates lesser/known sound patterns as well as the correct white noise and speaker popsโ€ฆ. This is worth every single penny.

I take back what I said about Hamsterโ€™s Arcade Archives Space Invaders. The photo ver. of the moon backdrop IS in the options. It is THE most accurate emulation of a Space Invaders arcade cab I have ever seen. The sound is perfect, with the proper oscillating FX when hitting Invaders. Itโ€™s SO good.

Iโ€™m sure this goes without saying, but always check eBay sellersโ€™ other items. If theyโ€™re selling a cart as โ€œuntestedโ€ but have other carts as โ€œtested and workingโ€, it means the untested shit is broke.

Did you happen to see the presidentโ€™s comments about it on Truth Social?

Tim Robinson is funny as hell, but he also employs people of every race, age, gender identification, sexual orientation, size and shape. He strikes me as a genuinely good dude.

Folks, I have an insane announcement to make: I have come across, in the wild, an Atari CX-2000 โ€œVALโ€ prototype in functioning condition.

Christmas at the Santa Cruz Yacht Club. (I do not own a yacht, to be clear. I am just here taking a photo.)

As a 50 year old dad of a teen, I share your regret. But as the guy who made the Tetris game, Iโ€™m happy you played it with your family!

But seriously, why am I so obsessed with super old video games?

The Online Arcade update for MK:LK (which in fact includes online lobbies, our Khronicles of the Realm in-game lore section, as well as many other updates) is now live for PlayStation platforms!

Dead ball strike. Hit by pitch in the strike zone.

This is one of my favorite obscure and weird systems. I recreated all the color overlays for reprinting since most of them aged poorly.

I love the convenience of depositing a check just by taking a photo of it. They should start letting us do that with cash, too.

I'm confused: is the Virtual Boy headset available for pre-order on Nintendo? It looks like it's not, but I am not sure if there is some kind of bug where it doesn't realize I am a Nintendo Online+ subscriber?
