So yesterday was my birthday, yeah me.... What sucks is that I am out right now, work offshore. So my gaming is limited to my Vita or tablet, with no online play .
I figured I would do a quick intro on my blog. I am a 48 year old gamer (old right) who started gaming on Pong. I have been in and out f gaming almost all my life, from Atari, Intellivision to Dreamcast and Xbox. I also loved hand held units like Coleco Football, Sega game gear, up to the DS. I kind of gave up on gaming just before the 360 came out because of life but over the last 10 years I have been getting back into it. When i returned to gaming I started with a Wii. I chose the Wii for the user interface, the Wiimote and Nunchuck system.
Gonna try my hand at this whole Twitch.tv live streaming thing. Godhand Arcade will be (hopefully) a weekly vidcast of me, and sometimes a friend filling in the player 2 spot, as we play through an old school arcade title from start to finish, with possibly a short break somewhere in the middle.
Funny commentary, and sometimes rum will be involved.
First, I wanted to thank Sarcasmo Jones & Shamrogue for their input regarding my last blog entry. After considering what you guys said & not giving it any further thought (to avoid the possibility of self-sabotage), I decided to do all three, but not start them all immediately...
I found this on reddit, true or not this is one captivating story. Hopefully they follow up. I just stumbled across this on the front page and I'm fairly new to reddit (I know, I know... I need to get with the program), so I'm sorry if this is old news.
*Edit- Okay I just realized this is fiction writing. This is the description of the subreddit: NoSleep is a place for authors to share their original horror stories. Both nonfiction and realistic fiction are allowed.
Not for 20 somethings, not for teens, not for young kids, but, a gaming site for old farts like me?
I'm so happy I might moisten an eye.
I just hope I can finally make some friends to play games with that aren't 20 years younger than me and don't think Creedance Clearwater Revival is the name of a Christain ministry.
Wow, how time flies! I guess since my kids got older I started gaming with them. I just received the "new 2old2play" e-mail and stopped by to check things out.
