[My entertainment budget is close to $0.00]

Oh yeah, there's a bunch of games in the Atari Age store that I want too...dammit!

[TAKL]

I received notification that I'm accepted as an official TAKL provider, so now I can start taking jobs. Cool. Although, at first look, there's not much available at the moment. Cross my fingers that this app will get more customers.

[Bought my house 1 year ago.]

It seems like I've been painting the entire time I've been here. Slowly but surely the entire interior is being painted by me and my girlfriend. It takes time to get the right colors, and to carefully do this crap. I'm now working on the basement, so it's going to be done this winter I'm hoping. I just work on it a little bit at a time, when I get home from work, I'll put about an hour into it while I have my work clothes on anyway.

 

This is the big payoff as my basement gameroom is getting the business now.

[Quartet]

Very disappointing port of a fun 4 player arcade game. The timing of the arcade release and home port is unfortunate. It would have actually made for a stellar Genesis game, but it was already pretty old by 1989.

[Atari Jaguar. I just want to play and talk about the games, Man.]

The thing about the Jaguar's games, when I think of the term 'video game', the Jag has a few of these really, really awesome video games that are the purest form of the term. It has some of the best 'video games' of all time IMHO. I could justify owning the system just on Tempest 2000 alone.

[FINALLY! (Atari Lynx RAIDEN)]

I have Raiden on the way too. I overpayed for the complete version though cuz I wanted it bad enough.

[Empire: Wargame of the Century]

That was a very well put together blog entry! Kudos.

[Sold my Nintendo to GameStop]

I regretted selling my Jaguar to get a Playstation. Not saying the Playstation was bad, but after about 2 years I really missed those awesome Jag games, especially after I bought Tempest X and realized that the Jaguar T2000 was much better.

 

I think I could however sell my Sega Genesis 32X and not lose any sleep over it. lol.

[Sold my Nintendo to GameStop]

Every single time I've sold an entire system and games to purchase the next big thing....I've always regretted it and just end up buying it all back again.

[Cubs moving in positive direction]

Wow...right after I posted this the Cubs lost...and now they've just lost a game to the Rockies....The frickin Rockies!!

 

Dusty Baker must be trying to get fired...he pulls some of the stupidest shit I've ever seen in this game. Bottom of the 7th, 2 on, 2 out...and its the Cubs pitchers turn at bat....now most reasonable managers would pinch-hit in this situation, given the fact that the Cubs were DOWN by 2 runs at this point...but Dusty leaves him in to bat for himself!!! WTF????

 

I'm bout to call Jim Hendry and tell him that I can do Dusty's job and fail all the same for a hell of a lot less money than Jonny B Baker gets paid. This team is a joke this year...the Brewers are ahead of the Cubs in the standings....thats a bad sign. One things for sure...don't get your hopes up over a Cubs team.
