Update on my Grandmother and other things...

I had the chance to see my grandmother over the weekend, and she was doing fairly well. She had just started moving things out of her body that day so she was making progress. She should be eating solid foods by now, and is expected to be out of the hospital by the end of the week.   In other news...   I picked up GTA:IV for the PC this weekend...so far so good! This is truly an impressive game, and after playing for about 2 hours, I'm really getting into it. My only complaint is all th

My grandmother is sick...

Earlier this week my grandmother (on my mother's side of the family) went to the hospital for a colonoscopy. Nothing spectacular right? Well...during the exam the doctors located a growth in her intestines and they sent her to surgery immediately to remove it. After running some tests, it turns out it was cancerous rather than benign. This all happened on Monday.   I've yet to have a chance to see my grandmother, but I hear she's feeling very weak. I'm not sure if she's been able to eat a

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I've never been a big fan of this holiday. It's probably because I'm not Irish, either way, I've always been quite lost when March 17th rolls around every year. To me, this day is nothing more than my best friend's birthday (can you guess what his parents named him?). I live in central Massachusetts about an hour away from Boston so a lot the "festivities" are lost to me. Granted, the city of Worcester (pronounced wus-tur) has their annual parade every year, but I never go.   Don't get m

Classic Game Room

Has anyone heard of the review show, Classic Game Room?   It's probably the best and most unbiased (unless we're talking about the Sega Genesis) review program on YouTube. The show originally started back in 1999 as a small side project for two young web pioneers for the website USALive.com. Unfortunately, after a year, the site folded and the show went dark. Then in late 2007 it was revived. Now it has a thriving channel on YouTube, and it's site can be found at www.classicgameroom.net.

Anyone remember this?

This is a paid commercial for the Macintosh Peforma from Apple...it's from about 1995...I remember watching this back then and begging my parents to get us a PC...do you remember it?               Hope you enjoyed it!

Swordquesting...

I've heard numerous stories about how unplayable the Swordquest games are, and that they're some of the worst games for the VCS. I've also heard the contrary, that they're rewarding games that challenge the player to solve a complex adventure. Considering how much I like E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark, which are both maligned for their...er...unplayability, I figured I'd give the Swordquest series a shot.   I bought Earthworld and Fireworld on eBay yesterday, both with manuals which I know

The News

Ever notice how the news tends to trivalize and sensationalize every story? Ever notice how the evening news will take the smallest most insignificant story and turn it into their top story and focus on it for nearly 3 hours?   Me too.   I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened, but the news is definitely a lot different now than it was even ten years ago. The anchors that I grew up watching, many of whom were the best in the business in the Boston area, have either retired or have been f

It's Wednesday, and it's crappy outside.

Thanks to the change to daylight savings time this past weekend, I've been driving to work in pitch dark all week long. Monday we had a nice little snow storm which made things extra dark outside, yesterday morning wasn't as bad since the sun was just starting to peek out on it's long trek across the sky. This morning though, I think you would have been extremely surprised to see that it was morning!   We're in the middle of a nice little rain storm right now, and it's still pretty dark ou
