Corey Haim Loves Space Ace

Check out Corey Haim’s personal website—the blinking evilness will take over your MIND! (Just when I thought Tom Cruise had the title.)
From the about page:
When COREY isn’t busy filming, he enjoys: participating in ULTIMATE FRISBEE and other fun outdoor athletics, cooking for his friends and family, playing video games (especially MYST & SPACE ACE!), chillin’ […]

Look — when the aliens get here my child will be horrified if Daddy just lays down and lets them take over. She expects Pops to keep the reflexes sharp, crack a brute over the head, grab his weapons and get to saving New Mombasa.
How to do that while she is sleeping in the next […]


Seems Gibson, maker of fine guitars, feels Activision is infringing a patent it holds around guitar simulations.
It seems, however, that Gibson isn’t at all satisfied with the arrangement it has with Activision. Gibson has sent a notice to Activision declaring that the games publisher is infringing upon the guitar maker’s patent for a concept similar […]

An 18 year old in Florida died while “surfing” a Cadillac Escalade. Evidently he was in a shopping cart, holding on to the Caddy. They hit a speed bump and his eulogy will be very embarrassing.
Cameron Bieberle, 18, of Winter Park was thrown to the ground after the Cadillac sport utility vehicle he was holding […]

I’ve posted an interview that Seann did with Gygax back in ‘03 on Boing Boing Gadgets.

Deadliest Catch: The Game

This is odd, but perhaps a smart tie-in: they’re making a Deadliest Catch videogame. I want to be the salty but fair guy!

I’m normally okay with the creativity and dedication it takes to participate in cosplay, but this instance just pisses me off. I’ll give these fighting Tetris cosplayers some props for originality, but there are some big problems. First, it is at an anime convention. Second, the T-block has four blocks, not five. The T-shape is […]

Barcadia will be what its name suggests: a mishmash of a watering hole and a 12-game arcade situated in a 3,000-square-foot building at 1917 N. Henderson Ave. … Remember Galaxia? Ms. Pac Man? Frogger? Would-be players won’t be forced to feed six coins into games to play. Barcadia’s owners, Humphries and Billy Blatty, are […]

There is something mysterious about the coffee table. This simple, shorty version of the traditional table can magically turn into the nexus of any living/entertainment room. This $7,600 coffee table also includes a functional and miniature foosball game. Miniature versions of bar games are so darn cute!

D&D 4.0 Announced

I haven’t played Dungeons & Dragons for years, but I do like to occasionally see what the rules are up to. It appears the rules are shedding the husk of the third (and third-point-five) edition to erupt crackling in a new “4.0″ edition sometime next year.
I’ve been trying to get other writers in New York […]

The Art of Glen Angus

I recently stumbled on the art of Glen Angus and was struck by his talent, despite the fact that military pin-up posters aren’t the sort of thing for which I’m typically ga-ga. But the guy knew how to paint, for sure, and I passed the link on to friends.
I didn’t realize it at the time, […]
