In 2020, I wrote a 33,000 word article on the history of Apogee/3D Realms. It has some personal stories about myself and my 17 yrs there. I also give some thoughts on every game the company released from 1986 thru the time was written. Labor of love. Available here: joesiegler.blog/2020/11/my-s...
#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 175 - What We Leave Behind - 31 May 1999 1/4
We reach the end of DS9 - and Sisko. I almost don't know where to go with this. The ending is spectacular - it wraps up everything, and in my favorite part, doesn't just "end" (like Voyager does). We get to

The penultimate ep of DS9 is where all the war shit hits the fan. First off, we get a new Defiant ship to fight with. Kira & crew go super deep in their underground mission - great stuff. We also touch on the

This is a video of Rudy Sarzo, Alex Grossi, & Johnny Kelly of Quiet Riot doing a segment from Ozzy's Crazy Train before launching into a Grossi guitar solo (8 Nov 2025). I never did see Rudy play live for Ozzy Osbourne, so it was nice to see him slap that bass on this occasion playing Crazy Train.

#AllMyVinyl #157 - "Metal Health" by Quiet Riot. #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinyl #BangYourHead
Decided to write about this album now as I'm seeing Quiet Riot live tonight. Spinning this on the turntable brings up a lot of memories (most of 'em laid out here), as I bought this brand new in 1983.

I'm watching an old 1973 TOTP vid of Slade doing "Cum on Feel the Noize". I can't help but thinking the outfit guitarist Jim Lea was wearing would fit in nicely with the outfits in Daleks' Master Plan. ;) #DoctorWho

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 173 - Extreme Measures - 17 May 1999 1/2
My least fav of the war arc as it spends nearly all its time on "We must save Odo" when you know he won't die. Nearly all it is spent with OBrien & Bashir chasing down a cure in a weird scenario in Sloan's mind.

Happy 20th to Tony Martin's Scream album, originally released today (8 Nov 2005 in the US, 18 Nov in UK/Europe).
Listened to it this morning, it's been awhile. Bitter Sweet, Rising Hell with Cozy Powell, The Kids of Today, and the title track are all great songs. Lots to like here.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 172 - Tacking Into the Wind - 10 May 1999 1/2
Several ongoing plots - Kira & Odo and the Cardassian rebels (now w/Odo sick), Bashir/OBrien try to work around Starfleet & Section 31 to find a cure for Odo. The best one is the "Klingon shit hits the fan"

The war takes a different tactic, relying more on the Klingons. Kira is sent to Cardassia to train rebel troops there. Great angle for Kira, loved her angle here. Gowron reappears and takes over the Klingon fleet

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 170 - The Changing Face of Evil - 26 Apr 1999 1/2
One of the best action eps of the series. First off, the Breen attack Earth and wreck Starfleet HQ. Damar moves into open rebellion against the Dominion, which is probably my fav part of all this stuff.

@lon.tv Hey Lon, thanks for that video about gear. I was in the market for something like this. I'm never gonna be a full time podcaster but I could use an upgrade off the stuff I occasionally do from time to time.

I know there's several fans of the movie Elf amongst my friends. Went to my local coffee joint today (smaller chain called Scooter's) - they have a promotion this holiday season surrounding Elf. Thought I'd share what their coffee cups look like. There's also a pink-ish design they have too.

Well, got this single for Halloween. Cute little piece of #vinyl, loved the color. Song's a bit of a novelty track, but for Halloween? Yeah. :)
I noticed some singles (not this one) are being marketed as "tiny vinyl". Apparently "single" isn't sexy enough?
