Atari's 2600 hooked me on gaming, and I spent my youth in every #arcade I could find. Much love for 80s pop culture, video games, books, music, and movies. Avid fan of VHS, vinyl, Tank Girl comics, and AFX slot racing. #eatTheRich
When I saw an email about an #Atari x Deadmau5 collaboration, I assumed it would be hats & hoodies.

Turns out it's a 7800+ game. In fact it looks like a retrofit of sprites into Food Fight. Not what I was expecting, lol

This Double Feature version of #Pacman arrived today with a bright yellow 2600+ console. It's the pack-in cart.

This cart has dip switches to play the 2600 version of Pac-man or the 7800 game

Beenox, the studio behind Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, could be working on a new game in the series. This all emerged due to a new profile image the company used which featured Crash Bandicoot in his kart. The notable thing is the Crash Bandicoot used was from Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, which launched after Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled. Whether a new game in the series is under development remains to be seen.

Yesterday's #vinyl buy was a used copy of Draw The Line and Excitable Boy.
Gotta love those werewolves!

Stopped by the local record store after work. Browsing #vinyl is great therapy and a welcome start to the weekend

The temp is dropping and I broke down and fired up the fireplace. Coincidentally I'm in the mood for #Gamecube :)

Since Halloween has passed and you may be shifting from watching horror movies to Fall centric films... you should know that #OverTheGardenWall is delightful AF!

Yeah, we're watching horror year-round too ;)

If it was Saturday night, it was time for Headbangers Ball! I’m digging up a classic video from a hard rockin' band each week to keep the tradition alive. 🤘

Here's #JudasPriest – “Turbo Lover”

The synths may have thrown some fans, but this one still rocks. A sleek and underrated gem from Priest!

Found this mail-in offer inside Ace Frehley's Solo Kiss album. Imagine the Kiss Army for only $5 and that belt buckle!

Merch was pretty cool back in the day :)

I don’t write long-form stuff much anymore, but today is an exception. If you know me, you know exactly why that is.

The original PlayStation and I have a lot of history. More than 30 years of history. And it’s worth writing about my related experiences & feelings on its American birthday.
Happy 30th, PlayStation!
It was 30 years ago today, September 9th, after weeks of paying down my preorder and waiting impatiently for the "next generation" to arrive that I picked up my PlayStation console from Electronics Bo...
