HAPPY NON-OFFENSIVE OR PSEUDO-RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY TIME!!!

I actually just wanted to wish everyone I know a great Christmas and New Years... I seriously hope that 2024 is a much nicer year compared to the last few… at least until the AI/Robot Wars of 2027 begin.

TO THE BREEDING PENS!!!

All praise Riker and Troi for bringing sweet baby Jesus into the world. Party On, Dudes!

Share & Enjoy.

My ducks have never really been in a row. I don't know where some of them are anymore, and I'm pretty damn sure one is a fucking pigeon.

This epic bullshittery of the VR Gaming Community pissing and moaning about which VR Gear is better, utterly stinks of the whole Console Wars.

FACT: It is an massive win for ALL VR Gamers/Devs when anyone dives into VR on any damn platform.

Jack-In... Punch Deck... Loop it.

Trust your Techno-Lust!

Happy 23rd Anniversary to SPACED!

Edgar Wright is an eccentric artist that brought us an amazing show filled with anger, pain, fear and aggression.

The nature of friendship is such that you'll never know who will turn out to be your friends, but once you've met them you can't imagine you could have gone through life without ever knowing them.

HUZZAH!!!

Happy 40th Anniversary, Fight Fantasy!!!

I grew up with the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style books, mainly the Fighting Fantasy books created by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. Hard to believe that Fighting Fantasy books have been around for 40 years now. Some of the best RPG books made for sure, so many great memories and graph-paper maps made. “The Warlock of Firetop Mountain”, “Deathtrap Dungeon”, and “City of Thieves” are some of my favorites. I have all four parts of “Sorcery!” on my tablet now. Most are available on tablets and re-released in book form again. :)

Share & Enjoy.

I am 51 and next year I will be 52... I feel this Brain Cloud brewing...

It feels like there is this feeling that the whole world is holding it's breath. Almost as though we are all waiting for some sign or event that puts an end to this feeling of being put on hold.

This vague, unexplained unease we all feel. I feel like something terrible is lurking just out of our field of vision but we all feel it closing in. So many people have told me they wish that whatever is going to happen would just get on with it.

That this waiting for the thing in the darkness is unbearable... When is the other shoe going to drop... by the pricking of my thumbs...

Less than 16 hours till CERN dials up the chevrons and brings about GammaWorld for real. I HOPE!!!

Please. Please. PLEASE, let this happen shortly...

In 2022, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, embarked on a  new series of high-energy experiments. No one knows exactly what they were attempting to do, but a little after 3 P.M. on a Thursday afternoon came the Big Mistake. Something unexpected happened, and in the blink of an eye, many possible universes all condensed into a single reality.  In some of these universes, little had changed; it didn't make a big difference which team won the 2011 World Series, for example.

In other universes, there were more important divergences: The Gray Emissary, who was carrying gifts of advanced technology, wasn't shot down at Roswell in 1947, the Black Death didn't devastate the known world in the 14th century, the dinosaurs didn't die out, Nikolai Tesla did conquer the world with a robot army, and so on. The Cold War went nuclear in eighty three percent of the possible universes, and in 3 percent of the possible universes, the French unloaded their entire nuclear arsenal on the town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin, because it had to be done. When reality stabilized again, an instant after the Big Mistake, the familiar Earth of the 21st century was replaced by one formed from many different realities.

The year is now 2162 (or 151, or 32,173, or Six Monkey Slap-Slap, depending on your point of view). It's been a hundred and fifty years since the Big Mistake, and the Earth is a very different place.

Happy 50th Anniversary Atari!!!

Congratulations on influencing ALL of video gaming. Fifty years ago, Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney founded Atari and forever changed how we related to our televisions and video games.

“We had no money, no factories, no market presence, the only thing we had was creativity,” Atari founder Nolan Bushnell said.

There are many Atari games that I love but nothing compares to Tempest, Haunted House and Star Raiders... those will always be my all-time favorites.

MUSINGS: Five Point Dating Test...

Greetings Programs...

Danny Elfman once said he would take first dates to see Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures (a stunningly beautiful film). If they didn't love it, he knew they had nothing in common.

Here is my FPD Test: Beetlejuice, Buckaroo Banzai, Howard the Duck, Xanadu, The Evil Dead.

Share & Enjoy.

Sometimes I think I've felt everything I’m gonna feel and from here on out I’m not going to feel anything new... just lesser versions of what I’ve already felt. - Theodore

I deeply love this film. I see you, Theodore.
