The only thing cooler than beating Super Mario Bros. 3 (WMV File) in 11 minutes, is how perfectly the levels are designed, allowing you to pass most of them just by bouncing off the enemies heads, which are all perfectly spaced to allow you to do so. I’ve always loved the levels in Mario games […]
I ran across a picture of this system on a forum somewhere this morning, and recognized it as my first ever computer! I could never remember what it was that I used to play with when I was a kid, other than it was a Texas Instruments machine of some kind. So it was really […]
I was always interested in the game Thief on the PC… it focused on extreme stealth, forcing you to walk quietly, and in the dark so the guards didn’t see you. You had to think more than just have quick reflexes, time you moves perfectly so you could sneak into the next alley before the […]
Watched this over the weekend with a couple of friends… I hadn’t heard the first thing about it, no previews, no reviews, no trailers, nothing. None of us had actually, so we went into it without the first clue what it was about. To sum it up, this is the absolute strangest movie I have […]
My “Precious” (the name for my new eMac) arrived on Monday, after days of waiting and hundreds of visits to fedex.com to see exactly where it was every step of the way. So that’s why I haven’t posted for a few days, been too busy exploring the new system and getting everything setup! Not that […]
At one point in my “professional” web design career, my dad and I were quoting a job for the Chattanooga Symphony & Orchestra web site. It would have been a fun project, lucrative too, if they had taken our bid. But they didn’t. But I probably didn’t know enough back then to do the site […]
My wife has been asking when I’m going to post my thoughts on the last Matrix movie, so I guess I will even though I don’t really have anything enlightening to say about it.
We used Fandango to pre-order some tickets to the 5:00pm showing of the movie on its opening day, and I took off […]
I think I have pretty good balance, some people don’t. When I was a kid I was in gymnastics, and I pretended to be a ninja a lot, so that took some balance. Then there are other people that lose their balance just from turning around too fast or reaching for something. I don’t […]
I bought Final Fantasy Tactics Advance a month or so ago for the GameBoy Advance, and have played it about 25 hours so far. I thought I was getting pretty good at it until I skimmed over a game guide online, and realized that I haven’t even begun to understand all the strategy in this […]
Today is the day I’ve been waiting for for over a year, at the least. The day I order my first Apple computer!
I’ve tried to get a loan to get one before, but my credit is bad at the moment, so today I tried with my wife’s info, and was approved, hooray! So I ordered […]
