It's all about fun games and the systems that drive them!
I'll admit, when I was young I wasn't a big fan of the Nintendo Entertainment System (a.k.a. NES). I think because I grew up with the Sega Genesis, the NES seemed inferior to me at the time, probably due to graphics. Oh young naive me, if only you knew what I know now. What I…
A few weeks ago, I managed to snag a Wii U Mario Kart 8 bundle in an early black friday deal. I can already tell you, it was worth it! I've been completely hooked on Mario Kart 8, and I'm still impressed with just how good the game looks and plays. But it doesn't just…

In a couple of previous posts, I mentioned something I'm working on I call "The Museum." When I got into game console modifying/collecting, I started planning a way to tastefully display my collection. What I mean is, I'm going for "what a nice collection" over "you have a problem." I don't want any visible wires, no unorganized…
While some may say the the 32X is the worst idea to ever come out of Sega, I can't help but admire the ingenuity and ambition for trying to make an add on to improve the graphics of a console. I know the 32X was one of the key factors in the growing consumer and…
I was talking to an old friend a few days ago. After getting all caught up, being the gaming geeks that we are, the topic turned to games. My friend was a proud new owner of an Xbox One, and I was genuinely curious as to what he thought about it. The conversation went something like this:…
