Lost Ohio Travel Blog Post: Today marks the permanent closing of Caesar Creek Flea Market. While that may not be a big deal to some, I spent a LOT of time here, and am going to miss it. Here's some pictures and thoughts from my final visit 2 weeks ago.

Late night Ohio travel blog. Come visit the Nelsonville Brick Park. A place where bricks can laugh, play, and run free.

More correctly, this was one of the largest brick making factories in Ohio, producing 25 million bricks a year.

Nelsonville Brick Park
In the mid-to-late 1800’s, Ohio had become a central location for much of the industrial growth in the country, thanks to its abundant natural resources. There was a great need for bricks at …

I was drowsy when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray.

I wrote a blog post about a mysterious game called Frontier-6 that was released in 1980, and there is virtually no information about it online that I could find.

Dusting off the mildly interesting blog to write about a weird older board game. Of course, there is backstory. About 9-10 years ago, when I was working at a board game store, a friend came in, bur…

My coworker has been in a bad mood, and is playing a playlist of modern country music. Every song sounds the same, and every song is about whiskey. #PuttingMeInAWorseMood

How about a Steam Demo of a deckbuilder / roguelike stock market simulation with a funky retro vibe?

1985 hot music take: if any other band had recorded it, "We Built This City" would be considered the greatest song of the 80's.

Steam Demo time! "Dice A Million" mixes Balatro and Yahtzee to make a weird little roguelike that's been happily frustrating me of late.

New video game play through! The Three Stooges for the Commodore 64. A fun board game / minigame hybrid. Kind of a solo Mario Party, several years before that became a thing.

Woohoo, just beat Ascension 20 with The Defect in Slay the Spire. Staring bonus was a boss swap into Snecko Eye, one of my least favorite starts, but I made it work.

3 of the 4 characters down, only Watcher (my least favorite) to go.

Forgive the stupid plays.
