Well my N64 Died

Not sure if I should have a funeral, or just hold my horses until I get another one...

The dutch in me is angry about wasting money... but such is life.

From what I remember, it was a POS system anyway...

Some may wonder, Jason, why are you spending all this time with old game systems / games?  Well, to be honest - the new games are not as good.  Quite that simple.

So dust off those old treasures and have some fun, you never know when they are going to die *sob*

Oh, shameless plug -- I will take all your old games. systems anything.  I am having a blast with this side hobby of mine.

Old School Video Games

Well, time to live out my dreams of having every video game system I ever wanted.  Growing up in the golden age of videogames (late 70's early 80's) I became quite the addict.  As my brother would confirm a bit of an asshole, you know selfish playing all the time, not sharing being an overall jerk.  Our parents did their best keeping us up with technology (well, they fell off the wagon as of late) but we were lucky enough to have an Atari 2600 (wood grain) and about 30 games (Combat and Donkey Kong FTW).  Of course being a kid, dad never let us play as much as we wanted to - so when we did... man, I never wanted to let it go.

Time passed and the Nintendo (NES) came out.  Shaun and I REALLY wanted one (moreso me - please note the selfishness) but it did not happen.  Fast forward to Christmas 1989 -- Santa got Shaun and I a Sega Genesis!!

Finally we were on top of the gaming world!

And again, jerk older brother had a hard time sharing..

Not sure about anyone else, but due to $$$ our family said we have a SEGA and that is all we will have... so alas, no Nintendo for us... lol

Long into for me to say selfish Jason is aquiring all the older systems.  I may be older, but I love that crap.

As of writing I have an:

Atari 2600
Nintendo (NES)
Super Nintendo (SNES)
N64
Wii
Sega GENESIS
Sega CD
Sega DREAMCAST
Sony Playstation (PSX)
Sony Playstation 2 (PS2)
Microsoft XBOX
Microsoft XBOX 360

And assorted games...

Masterplan = basement reno, RETRO styles.. haha... My wife will kill me.. haha

Empire Ave

Beta testing a new social website called Empire Avenue ( EAVB_HSOOBSIYKP )

Long and drawn out, but basically you are stock symbol.  Your value goes up or down based on what you do online and if people want to buy your shares.

Its quite interesting...

A Blog??? Sheesh, like the internet needs more spam....

Not sure why I even bothered with creating a Blog... I guess I am a 'sheep' after all... lol

Some friends at work have one, nothing too serious - but I get the impression that having an online 'journal' is something that could be therapeutic... Not that I need therapy... maybe I do.. haha

Anyway, I guess I will document things that are on my mind (check out facebook or twitter for more of my randomness), projects I am working on and reviews of things.

Its pretty funny to offer a review that hardly anyone will read on a product that mass media will tell you to buy, but hey - why not!

First off, why no comic sans... sheesh...
