Retro game designer, retro game shop owner (ghettogamer.net), nerdy dad just trying to make it, y'know? I was @longie_long on Twatter. I guess technically I still am.

A while back, my wife agreed to star as the hero in a game I was making. We had a great photo shoot. She was such a good sport and a really good model.

The game has changed so much now that we're going to have to re-shoot in the new costume and settings. I'm excited!

I miss the days of the late 90s/early 2000s going to a Fry’s (or Incredible Universe!) or Electronics Boutique, and browsing those (huge) PC game boxes with box art I thought looked so cool but never got to play. They were like windows into other worlds.

Simpler times. I’m old.

Retro Blast 🎃 @retroblast.bsky.social · 6d

Episode Update!!

After months of writer's block, I made it out.

I've written 23 pages, just under 11,000 words... so far. It's DENSE.

This is my biggest "Memories" episode yet. I hope it'll be a cozy listen for anyone who feels nostalgic about working at or going to gaming stores growing up.

An image featuring a FuncoLand video game retail store that the poster used to work at in 2002.

I know Generation X was a fairly blatant attempt to keep/make Marvel and X-Men more appealing to too-cool-for-school 90s tweens, but i love it so much.

I see I see. I don't know man, it just makes me want to reinstall Deep Rock Galactic. 😅

I paid money for Helldivers 2 and played it for about 2 hours and I have to say,

I've heard so much praise for it I expected something really special. Honestly it feels like a free-to-play but not as polished or sexy as Rivals, Destiny or that other one.

Am I Helldiving wrong? What gives!?

Yeah and movie tie-ins tended to be especially bad.
