I am a coward. At sleepovers in my childhood, I’d close my eyes during particularly scary portions of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, I’m 25 years old and still can’t listen to Reagan’s “possessed” voice in The Exorcist and I only was able to watch about a half hour… Continue Reading »

Whenever I get nostalgic for those bygone days of videogames known as the early 1980s, I question my sanity when I come across things like this bit of videogame inspired lovliness. In an old box of comic books I unearthed for an upcoming garage sales, I found issue 304 of… Continue Reading »

With the recent releases of Punch Out and Ninja Gaiden on the Wii Virtual Console (see this week’s update for more information), I was spurred to pick up a Wii points card in order to download some nostalgia.  With old-school gaming on my mind, I opted to bypass the major… Continue Reading »
