Finally it’s decorated… 5 years later

So hello, everyone. At least to those who may check in from time to time. I’ve owned my house for five years now, and I’ve just gotten around to decorating my office. A couple of light sabers, a LOT of vintage Nintendo Game and Watches, board games, and a lot of artwork and awards/degrees! This room exemplifies my life of interests and accomplishments. I’ve put together some pictures of everything lit up at night. The big problem is I can’t leave my lightsabers on because they “hum” the whole time they are on (collector problems).

Still have a lot of medical garbage going on, however, I am forcing myself to try and get back into the swing of things here. It won’t be daily or bi-daily like it used to be, but I hope at least one post a week – 3 posts at the most, but they would be short. Showcase and interest pieces.

So, without further ado, here is my computer room!

Hello everyone,

I know it’s been almost a month since a new post. I have to say my medical conditions are to blame for that. It seems like lately every single day I’m at a medical facility of some kind. Meaning my mood to create and write and photograph things is at a low again.

I have a few articles I just need to do photography for and my goal is to get them done at some point this week.

Coming up: California Games – The VHS board game of the late 80s, Nintendo Game and Watch – along with my collection, and a few NEW books that I have not shown here.

Due to my condition, I’ve also traded in my 12-foot camper for a 20-footer, which will be much easier to climb in and out of. Getting two 80+ lb dogs into it should also be much less of a challenge. And it has a shitter that will NEVER be used, so there’s that. So I can’t be like cousin Eddie dumping my sewage into the storm drain in the middle of winter “Shitter was full!”

So there you have a lineup of what’s the come not all this week my first goal is to cover California Games, a VHS board game! I have a couple of other board games also arriving this week I’ve wanted since one launched and the other when I was in late High School. Found them at great prices even with shipping (Come on do something about those shipping prices gov!)

Anyway, here’s the update and a road map! I just gotta get back into the swing of things after all this other real-life B.S. hit me.

Until then here’s a bit of a promo for Laser Disc!

A peek inside NES Endings Compendium!

I thought I’d show just a few pages of what to expect if you buy this book. No page shows off their book like Bitmap does. It’s an independent publisher. Enjoy the screen caps! If you like what you see pick it up. I’m enjoying it there are a lot of games I’ve not played which is hard to believe.

Fresh off the press!

As any reader knows I pledged to Kickstarter for 3 books. The first one is hot off the presses and just got to my house! It’s the second book in a set called NES Endings Compendium. I have the first one in hardcover (yes I’m a sucker for hardcover art books and fact books like this). So it came and the printing quality is spot on! I was expecting this one to have the quality of the first one and I was not disappointed. In the pictures of the book, you’ll see what I picked up at my pledge level.

First, we have the book. Second, a poster showing all the titles of 1990 with boxes for completed, sell, own (I think sell and own), and a bookmark. The picture of the book open shows one of my favorite games on the NES and then subsequent titles on other platforms to this day. River City Ransom! I have one too many books to get through and I have 3 more on the way one from England and the others as far as I know are stateside. The other two are the ones from my Kickstarter pledge post. The third is another Bitmap Book which I’ll post when it gets here from across the pond.

Not really an exciting post but hey I needed to fill the void! Enjoy the pics!

Troubleshooting over…PHEW!

Had a few days of helping users on the Codeweavers forum and Discord. Threw a troll into a cage for being a jackass and I’m beta-testing the new version. I know all of this is taking away from my site. We have some snow all over the darn place here. So today despite medical issues gotta go snowblow the driveway which isn’t short but isn’t crazy long either. I think I’m going to get an article up about yet another book but this one was one of the 3 I helped with Kickstarter so I wanted to show it off. I didn’t do the tier where my name is in the back on this one but that’s no big deal 🙂 I also have good lighting so far despite the overcast. I will set up a photo area to get shots of all my Nintendo Game and Watch games for the next story I have just about finished. So that’s about all I have at this 8 o’clock hour. Lots to do today. I’m going to get out and start snow blowing shortly so I can get my beef stew in the crockpot and start photography!

Till then here’s a picture of Nickelodeon bumper.
