The Legend of Zelda was a great game, but its first sequel, The Adventure of Link, was a very different type of game and really wasn’t what a lot of people were expecting. The Legend of Zelda: Outlands for the NES is a proper sequel that continues the style of gameplay that made the original…

J Allard was the man in charge of the XBox 360 project. He was also its hip-and-edgy posterboy, the guy that Microsoft paraded about at every 360 press conference and product launch fiesta. He’s moving on to other things now. The point is he used to be a pretty normal looking guy before Microsoft’s marketing…

The Library of Congress has just opened up a photo exhibition called “America from the Great Depression to World War II“. While it might not sound very exciting at first glance, it’s worth noting that 1600 of the pictures are in color. How many depression-era photographs have you seen in color? If you’re like me,…

Have you ever thought to yourself “Man, this DayQuil is delicious. I love it so much, I wish I could brush my teeth with it. YUM!” If that sounds like you, your day has finally come. Aquafresh Extreme Clean: Original Experience tastes exactly like DayQuil. I bought a four-pack of these things yesterday at Costco…

Tammy’s been out of town on business this whole week, so I’ve been spending my evenings glued to the TV playing Dragon Quest VIII. It’s not a stellar game or anything, but it is pretty fun and horribly addictive to boot. Apparently this series is huge in Japan. You may remember it from its beginnings…

Now that Thanksgiving’s come and gone the King of Jingaling has resumed his weekly postings of vintage Christmas albums over at FaLaLaLaLa.com. There was some really awesome stuff posted last year, so keep your eyes peeled for something new every Saturday!

I finished Castlevania: Curse of Darkness last night. I thought it was pretty solid all the way through – very satisfying! The Innocent Devil system wasn’t as tedious as I thought it would be and combining items to build awesome weapons turned out to be lots of fun. I definitely felt it was much better…

I think I can safely recommend the Hoover SteamVac. I messed around with it over the weekend and it worked pretty well. Lots of smaller stains have disappeared completely, and the ones that were there before have been lightened up considerably – to the point where you really have to look to see them. It…
