I kind of realize that the internet makes anyone a possible fan of any time in history. I saw a teenager with a Pink Floyd t-shirt and another with a King Crimson one. I was shocked, and pleased. 

That's interesting, but when I was at my job, the amount of phone time seemed to decline with age: teenagers used it constantly, Gen Xers a little less (but not much less), and Baby Boomers little or not at all. Of course, that's just a survey of maybe thirty people. 

Here's a haiku:

Master Chief's mjolnir
Is lived in by Cortana
As one they save earth

Wow. You've got a lot of versions of the game. I have the first four games for Xbox 360, the last four games for Xbox One and SuperChargers for Wii-U (even though I don't have a Wii-U yet). I'd like to have Spyro's Adventure for 3DS. 

I have a lot of figures for all the games except for Imaginators. I've been more choosy with that one. I just have the starter pack figures and Chopscotch. I have the three adventure packs for it though and I'm going to get Blaster Tron when it comes out in May. I'll probably pick up more when a sale comes around. 

I've been thinking of doing some photos of all the figures I have. Maybe I'll do that as a blog series right after I finish this autobiographical one I'm doing now. I want to think of an interesting way to photograph them. 

It's good all the way through. I just finished it for the second time. I so wish it would be made into a movie, but that won't happen. 

Soon as I saw bicycle bicycle, all I could think of was "meat bicycle", a phrase used often in the Borderlands games. 

I held the Zelda Breath of the Wild cart in my hand the other day. So small. How'd they crunch so much digital real estate in that thing? I had rented it thinking I'd have a Switch by now but I don't. Boy are people raving about how good it is. I guess I missed the Nintendo boat yet again. 

I was trying to find release dates for old arcade games and had to dig quite a bit to find them. I guess I could've used the Killer List of Video Games site for that. It's a bit better with arcade games. 

I used to use Allgame.com all the time, obsessively, but it shut down a few years ago now. I saved all the pages but I can't sort the database anymore, so I've used wiki instead. It's not perfect, especially for older games, but I'm making do. 

It's a small galaxy, everyone's related. Like a small town in middle America.

I'm still super impressed with the visuals of Phantom Menace. Amazing looking film, just lacks in the story and acting department. I liked Attack of the Clones for it's variety of locations and the battle with Grevious. I've largely forgotten about Revenge of the Sith. FA was great but derivative to the point it made me groan, but I still liked it. RO was better but who were those characters again? Pretty forgettable except that last scene with Vader. Much better screenplay though. 

Yea, I'll be excited for the next one. For sure. 

I have even stronger memories of the Battletanx sequel Battletanx: Global Assault because you could play the campaign co-op, which was a rare feature in 1999. Mark and I played that one a lot.
