Guest post written by Brent Turlington I always think that it's funny when someone watches a show about essentially what their life or their job is about. My dad has always said that he doesn't like watching The Office because it reminds him way too much of the people that he actually works with. When I started watching the show The Big Bang Theory, I could kind of understand what he meant. But the thing is, I really love the show regardless of it reminding too much of my own life. I have a... Read Full Story

Oh how I adore anything by shepard fairey . I’ve talked about the artist before, but I have to say it again – their work is fabulous. If it wasn’t for this guy’s work, I would have never gotten fully into gaming. Now, hear me out. It’s like a 5 degrees of separation thing. See I’ve always liked games but never accepted that they and adulthood could coexist (this was before it was tres cool to like all things gaming). See, I was walking past a local strip mall, abouts 12. I saw that... Read Full Story

Man, sometimes I wish I had a pallet rack sometimes. When you realize the sheer amount of stuff you own requires pulley systems to move, much less your need to move them in rearranging stuff…yeah. It’s worse when the stuff you have to move is not your own. The guy has so much old Commodore stuff that has to be moved every time one needs to access a closet, I just end up wishing we had a gravity conveyor liftng stuff. And when I say ‘stuff’ I mean many MANY C64 monitors. Moving them... Read Full Story

Over the holidays and through to this month, I have started to search out a few haunts hoping to find deals. Especially video game deals. As I hunted I found a blog article about a place called nomorerack . Nomorerack? Sounds kinky until you drag your mind out of the gutter and note it’s a play on words about not shopping clothing racks. The site nomorerack.com actually is a neat idea. Instead of overwhelming you with millions of things you may never want they post a few items, different... Read Full Story

Well, after all that happened in the year changing its stripes, I find myself needing to plan a very harried trip overseas. A few days yes, but a few days to prepare is murder – you can't just up and tell hotel 'gimme a room!' especially when they're many countries away. You can't just tell a hotel to suddenly cave and give you last minute accommodation ! Ugh. A friend of mine who hand moved to Australia years ago with his cute little wife (is it wrong I totally expected that to not last a... Read Full Story

As I look up from jostling around solid bed skirts I am reminded on how annoying moving around my other lesser used game collections are. The bed skirts around my bed are a plain beige color; they go well with my stars bedsheets. Bed Skirts in such a random design is no small task. Considering I love stars both cause they remind me of serene skies (helping me relax) but of a certain video game villain, my bedskirts woefully do not match. My mattress covers though, do. Mattress Covers and... Read Full Story

The arbor . They, no matter where they are placed look elegant and whimsical. This is a fact. Now why the random talk about said arbors ? Well, I saw an art exhibit not too long ago. My local alma mater tends to let the art kids go wild, doing what makes for thought provoking pieces. Well this one was just as interesting. It featured old Commodore 64 monitors (certain friends of mine would've cried seeing this but I digress), pc monitors, TVs, and other electronic bric a brac stacked... Read Full Story

And so I leaf through my mail, the CBU Mailboxes crammed together. Apartment Mailboxes are okay, depending on where you live. The one that belongs to me was yet again a disappointment, nothing but junk mail. Arrgh where is my PSP?! Or at least the delivery slip for it? See, I ordered one for a 'gift' to myself. A, 'hey you've been so conservative with your money all year, go on, get yourself something nice'. And so just cause I got myself one from ebay. And as I stare blankly at the Cluster...

And in my quest to try out more types of games, I'm still getting a bit into gambling. Nothing too hardcore or anything. A few posts ago I wrote about slot machines , but I've now moved onto to roulette games . What you thought only slot machines where all there was to online casino games ? Well nope. That spinning wheel you see in all casino type films? You can do that online too. I just toss in my bet and hope for the best! Sometimes a game based on pure luck can be exciting too. It's a...

As I softly close my locker at work, I ponder...it's days till the new year. What will I do to set this new year off with a bang? The office lockers that I pass by everyday gleam with dings and rust. This small part time job isn't much; a seasonal job at a local Gamestop. It was something short and sweet to earn more money and to get out of the house. And hey, I wanted to buy me a PS3, at least in a sardonic way a game system was to be paid with money that was earned well hawking systems. The... Read Full Story
