If we’re doing apocalyptic games just go for the gold. In the Nuclear War series you conduct nuclear combat toe to toe with the Rooskies.
I am sad/happy that it’s delayed, as I love/hate TLOU. It’s a great game with engaging characters and a terrific story, but I really hate zombies. So, I played it for the game play and tried to pretend that the fungus monsters were really alien space lizards or something. I’ll get TLOUII when it eventually comes out,…
You young people have no concept of the impact Goldfinger had on pop culture. Released in 1964, not long after the Beatles’ appearance on US television, it marked the beginning of The Sixties™ as a cultural phenomenon, and the start of the British Invasion. Bond was the coolest thing around; every boy wanted to be him,…
Too late by decades. I use a Flowbee, but I’m old, partly bald, and don’t care much how I look.
Sorry guys, but OK Go kinds of owns this.
Reader’s guide for young people: the lead photo is of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their March 1969 “Bed Peace” demonstration in the Amsterdam Hilton. They had just been married in Gibraltar, and were spending their honeymoon demonstrating for world peace by staying in bed for a week. They received visitors and the…
Fun fact: the tv set in the lead photo is a futuristic number from the ‘50s. However, it is as nothing to this one, the German Kuba Komet which out-Jetsons the Jetsons.
The Beatles were the best there ever was. I was 18 in 1967; I was there. In those days recording acts released long strings of similar/identical hits just to cash in; the Beatles knew this and decided never to do the same thing twice, to always try new things. It was inevitable that some would be more successful than…
Back in the ‘50s men wore hats all the time. Given that everything old is new again these days, I’m waiting for them to come back. There’s nothing jauntier than strolling down the street with your Stetson set at a rakish angle.
When I was growing up in the ‘50s men wore hats any time they left the house. My dad got me a kid hat, and I wore it all the time; I was adorable.
About 10 years ago I played World of Warcraft for a while. When I quit playing I left my level 100 Shadow Priest sitting in front of the fire in the Goldshire Inn outside of Stormwind City. I wonder what kind of bar tab he’s run up by now.
Reader’s guide for young people: the lead photo is of people operating card punch machines. From the earliest days of data processing until well into the 1970s paper punch cards were a principal means of data storage. Density was very low, as each card stored only 80 characters. My summer job in 1968 was running seven…
My family used to go to the drive-in all the time back in the ‘50s. We’d roll in early, load up on hot dogs and pop, find a good spot, then my brother and I would hit the playground just under the screen until showtime. I remember it vividly.
Vitamin C stops a cold in its tracks. Yes, yes... I know that so-called “experts”, you know, like doctors and PhD researchers and people like that, say it isn’t so, but I know they’re wrong. At the first sign of a cold I drop about 2 grams of chewable C, and the next morning it’s like it never happened.

Bzzzzttt... thank you for playing. The correct answer is Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard, which is criminally absent from your fridge. It is the best mustard in existence. It’s official; please comport your attitudes, actions and sandwiches accordingly. 66 out.

Lucy has had an on-again-off-again existence. Built in 1881 as a simple tourist attraction, she has served as a bar, office, hotel, restaurant and residence. I remember her well, visiting in the ‘50s. By the ‘60s she was in disrepair and scheduled for demolition, saved at the last minute, relocated and refurbished. In…
