This McDonald’s CEO shit is so cringe. My god, if this is entertaining, you need to rethink your priorities.

Umpired my first game of the season today, which turned into an almost 3-hour ordeal with extra innings and some crazy plays. Feels good to get back out there!

I sometimes wonder if I’m an attractive person, and then I remember I once dated a girl who said she liked me because I was polite to waitstaff and used good punctuation.

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

I’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 I’ll be instructing along side some of my favorite guys. Very excited for the season to start!

And we paid for all of it.

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 pops…. This is worth every single penny.

I take back what I said about Hamster’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. It’s SO good.

Legit. Where?

I’m sure this goes without saying, but always check eBay sellers’ other items. If they’re selling a cart as β€œuntested” but have other carts as β€œtested and working”, it means the untested shit is broke.

Did you happen to see the president’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 β€œVAL” 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, I’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!

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.
