I loved the 2600 because that was all we could afford when I was a kid. I liked the ColecoVision and Intellivision graphics better though. Luckily, some of my friends had both.

Try a Couch to 5K program. You start off mostly walking and slowly increase the amount of running. There are a bunch of great phone and watch apps. I like Watch to 5K for the Apple Watch (one-time purchase, no subscription).

Glad to see HP match the warranty from Intel.

Great game! Gives me the same feeling that I had playing Duke Nukem back in the day.

Jedi Survivor. It now runs well on PC. One lingering issue is the huge stuttering when a cutscene triggers in the middle of gameplay.

Found the El Guapo fan.

There’s an integration to Open Weather Map. You have to sign up for an API Key, but it’s free. One of the sensors is cloud cover.

Blue’s News - Video Gaming, Technology and General Interest. I think it’s been around since the mid 90s.

Why do they make a big deal about Cohen being a felon? He’s a felon because of the same crime that Trump is on trial for right now!

Scary. Thanks for posting this.

VR

If you are a huge Fallout fan, it’s pretty fun. It’s a bit of a mixed bag though. The story and quests aren’t as cohesive as the other entries. In some ways it feels better than FO4 and in others it feels worse.

It never goes below $30 dammit!

My guess would be Mr or Mrs of XYZ Company.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 - A very unique RPG. The new combat is a lot of fun.

Cod MW3 Zombies - Very few games master the smoothness of shooting like CoD. The gameplay loop is quite addictive. Cons - micro transactions and the tweaking required to get it stable on Steam.

They used to have a rental program for audiobooks at Cracker Barrel.

Amazing game!

I had a Commodore 64 as a kid but we couldn’t afford the disk drive (it was as much as the computer). I had to settle for a cassette drive. About 15 years later, I was at a garage sale and saw a C64 with disk drive but no cords. I asked the seller if it still worked. He said “For a dollar, does it matter?”. Still have them.

I’ve played and enjoyed most of the Quantic Dream games. This is the one where it feels like they finally perfected the formula. Thanks for the reminder - I need to put this on my replay list.
