Summer Full 'o Movies pt. 3 - Indiana Jones

Some of us skipped out of work today... I mean... took an extended lunch... to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.   For an opening day, the theater was surprisingly not-that-full. Of course, being in the middle of a Thursday afternoon probably had something to do with it (also, they were showing it on three screens at the same time). And even though large opening-day crowds can be fun, it was still nice not to have to get to the theater two hours early and wait in long li

Welcome to the basement!

So, MLB Spring Training begins next week.   That magical* time of year, when baseball fans from across the league look forward to the new season with hope and expectations.   Especially those fans whose teams sucked last year.   Like my home team - Seattle.   Yes... we've had a few bad years up there. Bad signings (Chone Figgins - I'm looking at you), veteran players who faltered (Ichiro Suzuki - I'm looking at you), repeated injuries (Franklin Gutierrez - I'm looking at you... a whole b

New arcade classic

Some months ago, I posted an old drawing I'd done in high school of some sprites for a game I wanted to create. (Coming up with the rest of that game's description is still on my "to-do" list.)   Actually, truth be told, I drew videogame stuff a lot in high school. Mostly in my notebooks. Probably when I should have been paying attention in class.   This is the very concept behind a cool new game from Ambrosia Software: SketchFighter.   (The notebook drawings, that is. Not the part about m

New old music - part 2

I actually got this DVD months ago, but never got around to reviewing it:     The World of Maynard Ferguson was a TV special produced in 1970, featuring Maynard and his big band, plus some special guests. Just prior to this period, Maynard had hung out with Timothy Leary for awhile and had a brief fling with under-the-counter medicine, went to India where he was influenced by the culture and music and got bit by a snake, and then moved to England where he formed a completely new band. "The

More surgical high jinks

I never understood the appeal of watching one's own surgery on a monitor... I don't even want to watch someone else get operated on.   13 < PreviousIndexNext >

Announcing... The Countdown!

After an absence of 6 1/2 months...   The moment you - faithful readers of this blog - have been waiting for!   Even if you weren't aware of the fact that you were waiting for it, it's coming anyway!   Like it, or not!   Want it, or not!   The time is nearly here, for the biggest single event to ever hit this particular blog so far this entire year!!   (Drum roll, please.)         (Hello? Drum guy?)         (Okay. Forget the drum.)     Anyway...   Artie the Atari will

(Insert stupid Blog software here)

Well after AtariAge's big transition over to Invision POWER!!!'s latest blog software, I think I've finally gone through and fixed all of the formatting and dates in my blog that got barfed on. A huge thanks to Albert for his help, and all of his hard work in dealing with all of the other problems that happened throughout the forums. If you happen to see anything else in my blog that still needs fixing, please let me know (note: bad writing, atrocious grammar and stupid ideas don't count as thin

Wheeee! We? Oui.

I had the chance to play with a Wii at a friend's house this weekend. We played Wii Sports and Wii Play, and I was blown away by how fun some of the mini-games were. Sure, not all of them were to my liking, but there were enough keepers in there that the Wii has moved onto my "must have" list.   The interactivity of the games is completely addictive. For example, Wii bowling really "feels" like bowling, except without having to put on the smelly rental shoes or trying to find a ball that fits
