RIP Gaming PC!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE?! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!!!!

I don’t know what happened. I was playing Pokemon and then suddenly black screen, weird noise, and it won’t turn on again. No warning or signs or anything. Just POOF, dead. I save nearly everything to external drives, so there shouldn’t be any significant files I lost. But now I need to buy a new computer, and they’re so expensive…

It was a Chinese mini pc… I guess it was time to upgrade to at least a name brand basic tower…

It don’t want to bad mouth it though. It ran very well for the price. And it’s not like I needed a powerhouse to play retro games. I will miss it.

RIP Gaming PC

30 Minute: Tales of Phantasia (GBA)

Tales of Phantasia is the first entry in the long running Tales series. I’ve tried several of the newer games, but I simply couldn’t get into the unusual battle system. Maybe the first game in the series will be more accessible. So join me as we check out Tales of Phantasia (GBA).

Article: Monopoly (NES)

Another year has gone by, which means another end of year panic review. Join me this year playing the classic family board game Monopoly (NES).

Yet Another Year Gone By

Well, it’s getting to that time of year again where I only have a few weeks left to post SOMETHING before the year ends. How did I ever manage to write so many articles back when I first started? … Oh, right, I wasn’t working 70 hour weeks back then…

Anyway, I’ll try to get something up soon. I do have a few games I’ve played and recorded, but no time to actually write articles for them. So it’ll probably be a small game I pull out of my library to play quick.

Also, just because I love it and want to show it off whenever I can. Check out this Gecko that was made of me by Rayterni. She is an amazing artist, and has some big projects coming up, so check her out.

Hello Geckos!!!

I’m not sure when the official announcement is going to be made. When it is made, they said they would include my website in the thanks, so I figured I should say something too so people know they’re at the right place. First off, for those people confused, I am a huge fan of the Twitch VTuber Zentreya, and her chat is nicknamed Geckos. Over the past couple months, I have been helping the Zentreya Twitch Vods Youtube Channel fill in some holes in their collection by sharing my own collection. Her 2D Redebut as a cyborg as well as her 3D model debut are two from my collection.

Onto my point for this post…Well,…I guess I don’t really have one. If I do get any gecko traffic, thank you for checking out the site, spread the word. Maybe reach out to me. I don’t really use them much, but I have the Facebook and Twitter accounts. I’m also a member of Zentreya’s Discord as “DeadPark121”. In the time I’ve been running the site, I’ve never really gotten any feedback. I’m not even sure my traffic is real people or just bots. So I’d be happy to hear from someone actually enjoying the site. Maybe recommend a game for me to play. Hopefully a little push from you geckos will encourage me to post more.

I guess that’s it. Check out Zentreya if you’re not already a fan, and Rock On!

30 Minute: Mendel Palace (NES)

Every company has to start somewhere. For Game Freak, who up to this point had been a fan magazine, that start was Mendel Palace for NES. With their first entry into the gaming market, Game Freak would go on to catch the eye of Nintendo higher ups, and eventually create the behemoth that is the Pokemon franchise. So let’s take a look at this piece of gaming history that is Mendel Palace (NES).

Another Year Almost Over…

How is it already December? Once again I’m at the end of the year and haven’t posted a single thing. I even wrote out a whole article back in February to avoid exactly this situation. Why haven’t I posted that yet? It WILL get posted before the end of the year. IT HAS TO!!!! Then i still need to rush a 30 minute review. What game can I play and write about quickly…

 

My panic attacks aside. I hope everyone had a great year. Happy Holidays and New Year! Check back for new content soon… maybe… I hope… See You Next Year!!!
