'Tis the season!

It is the season to make my jack-o-lantern themed collection grow some more. I collect pumpkin/jack-o-lantern related things because Halloween is my favorite holiday. Also, because my birthday is two days after it I get presents as well. I went to the craft store and they had some Halloween things out already. The annual Spirit Halloween store has the banner up but the store isn't open yet. This is part 2 of my collection. Part 1 is on a old big green corner bookcase that used to be my grandma's

.orgfill

I was working on Frank the Fruit Fly making sure the passwords worked right. I tried level 3. I got four screens in when it started acting weird: So I went through the code and determined that the cause was code placement. I tried for about an hour trying to move code and stuff. I then remembered about the .orgfill statement. Perhaps that could help. So I tried putting that in the code in various spots. It worked. It also made my code 40kb larger. When I get all done adding levels, I

.38 Ambush Alley

So my copy of .38 Ambush Alley has a big hole cut off in the corner. I looked on eBay. I didn't want a sealed copy. Those ran ridiculously high. Not to mention the system itself, which a boxed system runs for $40, more if you add shipping. The thing is probably not worth that much, but I guess it is as a curio. And I was thinking: .38 Ambush Alley is probably the only video game title to begin with a decimal point. And HydroSub: 2021, that's only five years from now! I bet it sounded much more f

...want to bang on de drums all day...

I was looking for Game Informer issues in the pantry. There actually was a time where I was pressured into GameStop to get a one-year subscription to their magazine. I found one issue. It has a cardboard thing on it that says "RENEW NOW FOR UNINTERRUPTED DELIVERY!" in big, bold, black letters. I didn't. Well, anyway, out of all the issues I could have found (all 10 or so), I found one with a review of Donkey Konga 2 in it. So I scanned the review and put it up in the DK Bongos Society page. I wa

 7  

That is the low expected tonight. To tell you how this doesn't happen here, I looked in the newspaper for the record low yesterday. It was 18. We're talking Fahrenheit, not centigrade. I plan to be up between 2-4am (which is when this event is "scheduled".) I plan to tape Svengoolie tonight at 10pm-12am, and then wait two hours for it to reach 8 or so. Maybe 7. The snow from yesterday morning is still here, although I did think it melted a little due to the sun being out. Despite the sun's appea
