Happy Halloween you ghouls and goblins out there. I come bearing a treat. I made a game for Halloween. This year has been a bit of a "brush off the hell that we all experienced for 2 years and do things" kind of year so I set the kid ...

Today Sonic turns 30 years old. This fact alone makes me feel nostalgic and old at the same time. I'm not sure why, but I feel more kinship towards the blue bomber than I felt when Mario hit the big milestones. I'm not a Sonic fanboy,...

Man I'm spending a lot of time on here lately. I guess I've kinda missed writing these things. That or it's the drugs I'm taking for this cold. I guess getting vaccinated made me a little carefree. I forgot to Lysol my body when I got...

At one point these blogs were a semi-regular way for me to unload my thoughts on a hobby I grew up to love. I'd refer to them as brain dumps and they were mildly therapeutic ways to kill time. While it's been a number of years since m...

Earlier this year I experimented with creating a visual novel. I have a lot of experience with the genre, but like many people once you start with something you tend to collect a lot of things similar. Woodworkers buy chainsaws when t...

So, it's Father's Day today and I wanted to share a bit of pride I experienced recently as a father. My daughter made a game. I mean I made one too, but that's not all that important. With this Corona Virus situation throwing the worl...

Man, I am really slow at getting thank you letters out. That being said, I want to thank the fine publisher of Slam Land, it's developers and the good people here at Destructoid who saved me some bacon when I entered a random contest ...

Marvel Trading Card Game When I was growing up in the 1980s and continuing into the 1990s, comic books and baseball cards were becoming a major force. The cards were crossing into mainstream appeal as people read newspapers about how ...

Video games have always interested me as a medium. In many ways they can present much of what we want in life. Friendship, despair, love, hate, creation, destruction and so many other feelings come alive when we decide to play our fav...

Uh...Hi guys! It's been...a while. All right enough of this idle chitty chat. What you see above are the RetroforceGO! videos I did circa 2009 for funsies based on an amazing podcast that helped me learn more about the games I m...

  Andrew Dice attempted to kill himself earlier this year because of Trails in the Sky The Second Chapter. This came as a shock to me because I'd followed Carpe Fulgur for a number of years as a translation studio. After I b...

I am streaming for the Children's Miracle Network event Extra Life. If you would like to come join me, do so. If you don't, that's just fine. I am doing this to raise funds for sick kids so if you could spare any change, that would be ...

Well it is time again to give back to the less fortunate by giving to the hospitals that treat them. That's right, it's Extra Life time. This year at random, I've chosen to randomly represent a hospital system in New Jersey. I encourage you...

Hi guys. It's...uh...been awhile. My god, December??? Look how time flies.It's been so long, that I doubt many of you will have remembered me. The ones that do, god bless you. The ones that don't, don't worry about it. I quit my job o...

Hola. It's getting to be Christmas time. Hope you had a nice Chanukah. I know nothing about Kwanzaa, so if you celebrate it or any other tradition this month, good will to you. Anywho, it's time again for what I have dubbed as a mind dum...

I'm sick. Again. The doctors have me on some sort of clear pills that look like beads you'd wear around your neck and then they gave me a laundry list of things to take over the counter. Since I'm sick and I am in some sort of daze, I'll...

[UPDATE: Just beat SFxMM and man did that take longer than I expected] We are LIVE! Today (and even some of Sunday as well if you'll have me), I'm going to be spending my time with you lovely people playing video games in an attempt to r...

The eve of G3 is upon me, and you as well if you choose to join me. This year I have chosen to support the University of Mississippi's Batson Children's Hospital. I'm focused on spending most of Saturday October 26th with you lovely people...

Alright, now that I've got my ducks in a row, it is time to talk of Extra Life. Unfortunately, as most of you gathered from my last blog, my schedule has been tumultuous at best. This leaves me in a bit of a conundrum. Since I can't marath...

Hola. Long time no...blog? It has been well over a year since I last communicated with you beautiful people. The reason? Well, to put it lightly, I'm divorced. With a bit of precaution, my lawyer advised me to get off the electronic gri...

So, I made a visual novel for Glorious Trainwrecks' (the Pirate Kart guys) special SPAAAACE themed game jam. Okay, it might not be a game in the traditional sense, but I have absolutely ZERO coding experience. None. So while this migh...

Yesterday started out as probably the most depressing day I've had in a while. I had come down from the euphoria of completing the marathon, and I had finally realized one thing. I had not reached my goal by about 1/2. That's not to sa...

UPDATE Alright, now that I've had some time to think things through, I'm going to return all the codes for this event to their proper owners. That is all except for my game codes. These are all the codes that I personally own, and I thin...

Update: It is about 9:25 PM as I sit down to write this. I woke up 2 hours ago, cleaned the house, ate and shook off some of the fatigue of this event. Right now we sit at $608.28 raised for Children's Miracle Network. I want to thank you...

Wow, it's been a while. I'm not even sure if I remember how to do this...whatever this is. Brain Dump? Yeah, I think that's what it was. It's been a long time coming for one of these. I've been busy at work, my kid is now fully aware t...

This post is a direct response to the super awesome Stephanie K and her blog titled BIG BANG BUST. I just got a bit too wordy in the comments. Read hers first for any kind of clue as to what mine is kinda about. You can watch the episode ...

Ugh...I am tired. I left the hospital not too long ago because my Mom is having chest pains and her PCP refused to see her. EKG/Bloodwork shows nothing serious, but they are keeping her overnight for observation purposes. She's kinda p...

I can't believe Madonna was the classy one in the sandwich It's been a long week and I've not been sleeping very well so I'll try to keep this somewhat sensible. It's only Wednesday and I'm already kinda burnt out. Anywho, words... Did...

So yeah, I went to Disney World. This is like my 3rd time going, but it was my first time going to Epcot. We only went for a day, but we were able to see the Animal Kingdom and all of Epcot, so I say we did what we wanted. Also, I fo...

The year that was 2011 has come to pass. Gaming has taken many great leaps forward this year (and some backwards), but overall the year has been another smash hit for the industry. With all the amazing things that happened this year,...
