I just found out there is a BEAUTIFUL senior cat named MRS. DOUBTFIRE up for adoption in Centre County, Pennsylvania! So, of course, I had to spread the word.
If you’re in Central Pennsylvania, please help this elegant lady find a home!

The first game here is Wasteland, a pivotal title for me. Unfortunately, one of the programmers passed away this week. She won the first national video game competition in 1980, co-founded Interplay, and pirated video games before it was cool. Much respect to her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

RIP "Burger" Becky Heineman. My heart goes out to her legion of fans, friends, and family. A kind soul. Can we take 2600 Space Invaders out of the High Score rotation to freeze her World Record as a way to commemorate her?
