I thought this was kind of a funny coincidence since the Tetris movie had just happened and everything. So I and some friends and colleagues have a Tetris high score board going. We play the NES game on game A, and for a while I was in second, then eventually bumped down to third. Last week I hopped in for a round, not really planning on doing much, but just playing to play. And I…

The Tetris movie released on Apple+ this past weekend, so of course I had to see it day one. I'm happy to report that while I was a little nervous going into it, overall the movie was very enjoyable, the actors were great, and most things didn't feel embellish too much, just enough to heighten what was already a really crazy story to begin with.

To get in the Christmas spirit I played some Home Alone for SNES (3 parts) and NES: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJhi5yPIjtM&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGsNffWi1fo&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqXoKVOCy58&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1UA5f09PLk&w=854&h=480] Then that was followed up with some E.T. on the Atari 2600: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ5A5PqCygU&w=854&h=480] And then finally Battletoads on the NES: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guk2OoxBFDE&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W2uyC0NIH0&w=854&h=480] The new "let's play"-style of videos are certainly much easier and faster to record, so…

Oh well, guess we'll have to wait for Battletoads another day! For now, enjoy Popeye for NES, an often overlooked classic by Nintendo!

I've been mainting the teen blog for Sellers Library since I started my job, and have been concentrating my blogging there. We cover lots of events going on in the library, from anime club to book clubs to crafts and even video games! It's a busy library, and I…

Well, at least with this year having the (still fairly newish) new job, and trying to get packed up to move, I have an excuse for missing out on most of the Halloween movie watching and gaming I would like to be doing. I did get to see a double…
