The other day Ogre and I briefly chatted about bringing back some of our old sites. He’d like to bring more gaming info to his blog, but there’s no substitute for his old Through The Ages (TTA) fan site for Age of Empires. The same is true for my fan site for RollerCoaster Tycoon, RCT […]

This is hilarious. It’s too bad it’s so true.

The other night I had the opportunity to watch a movie called Matchstick Men. I remember hearing a little bit about it when it originally came out in theaters, but I don’t recall seeing a whole lot of press. But it’s now airing on cable and is obviously out on DVD now. The film’s biggest […]

For a little while, I played around with a new theme. I doubt anybody saw it, but I like the overall look of it. It took quite a lot of customizing. One of the problems is the site has a lot of pages (my OLD episode reviews), and those all showed up as links. That […]

Last night Ogre and I decided to try and play Age of Empires again. He tried to get Railwolf, but he wasn’t reachable at that time, probably because he’s sick. Without Rail to serve as host, Ogre offered to host, which is fine by me. Unfortunately, Ogre couldn’t figure out the port forwarding for the […]

Over the past two months a number of stories have come out about HD DVD and BluRay. All signs are pointing to a win for BluRay over HD DVD. When Warner announced they were switching to BluRay, that was a huge blow to the HD DVD format. Most recently, Netflix announced they’re not going to […]

It wasn’t but a few minutes after I made the previous entry that Ogre came on AIM and said he and Rail were ready for a game. Well, I agreed since I was just researching, nothing too important at that time of night. In the first game, I attacked Railwolf a few times early on, […]

The other day I mentioned I ordered some games from Amazon. I was eagerly awaiting them, much like any other package. For some reason it’s always nice to receive a package, even if you bought it for yourself. Anyway, the only game I opened was the big Age of Empires collection. Much to my disappointment, […]

Just under a year ago I installed the original RollerCoaster Tycoon on my PC. I hadn’t had it installed since I closed down RCT Station a few years ago. When you go a long time without playing a favorite game, it’s only natural to go back to it at some point. Well, since I can’t […]

Exactly one year ago I began working on another fan site. I hadn’t worked on one since RCT Station. I don’t know why, but I miss that sort of work. I seem to get some sort of sick, twisted sense of pleasure hand-coding pages, especially once the design is done and it just comes down […]
