Super Mario Bros. 2 was one of my favorite games when I was a kid. I didn’t have a Nintendo because my best friend Ryan had a Sega and so that is the console I got. But during the summer I would go over to my friend’s the Hanley’s and Billy and Kevin would let…… Continue reading Super Mario Bros. 2

Dragon’s Lair
I was watching Stranger Things and they had a quick cut to this old game from 1983. This is why that show appeals to people my age (41), it reminds them of their youth. I had forgotten all about Dragon’s Lair but was immediately transported back to the old arcade at putt-putt golf and games…… Continue reading Dragon’s Lair
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
I’ve finally completed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I’ve always wanted to play Zelda ever since I was a kid and saw my friends who had a Nintendo playing. My best friend had a Sega and so that is what I wanted and I remained in the Sega camp all the way…… Continue reading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

It is 3:48 AM on Saturday, January 20th 2018. I woke up around 3:00 AM and couldn’t get back to sleep so why not get some things accomplished in the quiet, still morning? I’ve had a nasty cold for the past two weeks and so haven’t gone to karate class. Our Shihan never asks where…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.20.2017
Zelda – Breath of the Wild
I had always wanted to play Zelda ever since the the very first one came out in 1987. First there was Atari, which I remember playing from my earliest memories. One of my favorite memories in fact was going over to my older neighbor Kevin Heinzenberger’s house and we played Joust together in his room…… Continue reading Zelda – Breath of the Wild
Elementary School Programming in 1985!
Watching Stranger Things on Netflix makes me think about my childhood. Perhaps this is one of the reasons it is so popular: it is set in the ’80s and so for the 37-45 crowd we’re reminded of our own childhoods with the bikes, riding out in the woods, and those fantastic walkie-talkies to keep in…… Continue reading Elementary School Programming in 1985!
Journal Entry – 12.3.2017
It is 4:17 AM on Sunday December 3rd, 2017. Yesterday was a very busy day. After writing my previous post I was getting ready for karate class when I received a call from my neighbor Steve! It turns out my fears were unfounded about the fence because I got to talk to him (as opposed…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.3.2017
