I am also amused by the serendipity of its place on my timeline.

I need to look into this.

gg, Mariners

Just some top-notch Friday night entertainment going on right now. Feels like an 18-inning game to me.

A-Maye-zing!

(That work? That a thing?)

Finished it yesterday--it's been a joy.

Funny enough, I had never finished a full season back in the day, not even close, but I'm glad I did this time.

Ever played The Multipath Adventures of Superman? Ever even HEARD of it?

Live stats for a Summer League game. One player has 9 fouls, and another has 7!

At an NBA Summer League game, and one player is up to 9 personal fouls. Gotta respect the effort there.

The Bayou Billy spot still open?

Oh wow. Yep, I still have it! I picked it up primarily for the box art at a retro show or shop many years ago. I only ever played it once.

Feels appropriate that this final gift was delivered a few days after the holidays. Fortunately, the late fees were waived!

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY I self-published a silly Kindle book about retro superhero video games. People seemed to like it.

Might as well make it FREE now through Christmas Eve to celebrate 🦸‍♂️ c-bake.com/oldcomicgames

And might as well throw in my celebration of Star Wars games, too 🦂 scorpionvader.com

lol. So true, as I learned a few years ago for the same reason.

Hey!
Well, maybe.

A toaster that is also a Nintendo 64.

Oh, ha! I made the trek out there the previous night. It was interesting chatting with the clerk about how they decided on pricing. It basically came down to being tricky for a one-of-a-kind item!

It was an awesome broadcast!

Added bonus: My son describing it to my wife at bedtime sounded like a fever dream: “…and near the end, all the Cowboys turned into Homers and the Bengals turned into Barts!”

Cool.
And is that just crazy lens flare, or was the picture taken from the car?

I don’t know if I ever played Lynx multiplayer. I think I may have one time, with the one friend who also had a Lynx, but I couldn’t tell you what game if so.

The Atari Lynx game Gauntlet: The Third Encounter, box, and Analogue Pocket system.

Weekend confirmed?
