Stone Temple Pilots: Yet Another Victim of Classic Rock Radio

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

I’ve mentioned previously on this blog the treatment of the band Bush based entirely upon their radio hits. Now it appears the same thing is occurring with STP. This band has existed since 1992 (1991 if you count the non-grunge Mighty Joe Young demo material) Stone Temple Pilots – Fast As I Can (Mighty Joe [...]

It’s been a long week…

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Haven’t had any new posts in almost a week. Here is what’s going on in my life: 1. Started going to Bingo at my local church two weeks ago. Last week I won 3 games. 2. Went to a Tea Party march yesterday. I was surprised how many people honked and cheered for us on [...]

Except now this song is stuck in my head…whatever…

Funny “Action 52″ Review – The other two parts

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

There were actually 3 parts to the review I posted yesterday, I only put up Part 2. Here are all 3. Apparently Warner fucks are roughing up minors again, so #3 might get “muted” in its entirety for a Whitesnake clip in the credits (it is muted on other usernames). (Click here for the previous [...]

Funny YouTube Review of “Action 52″ Game

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

In 1990, a game was released for the Sega Genesis called “Action 52″, a series of 52 arcade games which were priced as “52 games at a discount” rather than the price of a single cartridge. The game consisted of simple arcade-style jump-and-shoot games with goofy graphics. Not a bad idea, but definitely not worth [...]

Some commenters have been asking whether or not the site can be quoted or reproduced. I have been putting off deciding this – I will not use the popular Creative Commons licenses because later versions include a sneak GPL-style provision allowing relicensing under “compatible licenses” approved by Creative Commons (the organization) as “in the spirit” [...]

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

my stomach hurts everytime i hear a song i listened to back then, every time i think of those abandoned papers in the other room and the radio show and software associated with it, even an old show returned and got me upset too. i can try again, but there is a catch – not [...]

Two new games added to “Download Library”

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

I have added two freeware games to the Download Library section above, ScopaFree (an implementation of the Italian card game Scopa) and TrackWords (a Boggle-style game). The developer’s home page was hosted on Geocities and the files were hosted on Winsite, both of which have shut down. Go to the “Download Library” tab above and [...]

dammit man i knew it was a mistake…

At the suggestion of Computing Minimalists, I’ve been getting used to using the keyboard instead of the mouse in most cases. I was always a Vim person, and started using Vimperator today, and have been using MouseKeys (PDF link) and Windows XP’s shortcuts for a week or two. As you get used to using the [...]
