Work, Food, Sleep, Repeat

Ha ha, I kind of forgot to put this here.

Of course I live, etc. Not much happening. Cooking has been nice and simple (step 1: throw a bunch of things into rice cooker, step 2: done!). Wondering how waiting for mail from approximately 5 hours away by car can take 4+ days. Finally getting back to work on something I probably should have gotten done quite a while ago, but... you know how I am with projects. It will be done with time to spare, though. So long a I keep remembering to rest. *cough*

So, links. Fistful of Rupees (part 1) was actually quite delightful. As were the other two parts, by the way.

Another article about how fucking difficult it is to preserve video games. It's something I find important. Like DOSBox and ScummVM.

The surprising, stealth rebirth of the American arcade. Between nostalgia and alcohol, I'm betting nostalgia is the stronger drug.

A Horse Named Gizmondo: The Inside Story of the World's Greatest Failed Console is another of those fascinating, heartbreaking, mind-shattering things that makes you wonder who was on what at the time.

Namco Bandai may also be interested in supporting the OUYA console.

A potentially helpful link: Tip of My Tongue. I can't say it's helped me find a lot of words yet, but then I suppose my brain would have to work in a very specific way... that it does not.

And finally, An Evening With Jim Henson and Frank Oz from 1989 was just... nice to watch. So I pass it along.
