One on One Basketball: Dr. J and Larry Bird?

Yeah, my sentiments exactly—that is, if I belong to the generation of basketball fans (especially of the National Basketball Association) that only knows Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Yao Ming.

Dungeon Keeper: Going back to basics

Okay, I’m stumped. Not that I mind, really. Not much anyway. It’s a little annoying knowing that you can’t beat a video game that you’ve played before. I’ll get over it, though.

Your Daddy played this game #1: Hard Hat Mack

Like I mentioned in my earlier post, the coolest thing about this writing gig is I get to write about games I’ve played before. So what’s way cooler than that? Why, telling you kids out there that your daddy used to play games that had blocky, two-dimensional characters, that’s what.
