Every day, I’m going to try to beat the original Super Mario Bros. on the Wii Virtual Console. I’ll post an update the next day.
Update #1: After about a dozen tries last night (going 1-1 - 1-2 - 4-1 - 4-2 - 8-1 - 8-2 - 8-3 - 8-4), I got as far as the [...]
In the spirit of the “vacation” I took last week, I’m going to do a little tidying up in this post, hitting a lot of points with no real theme.
DG and I took Thursday and Friday off last week for a little mini-vacation. I’ve got vacation days that expire at the end of June and [...]
Like many New Englanders, DG and I have been impoverished by incredibly high heating bills. We have electric heat, so that gets wrapped into our electric bill. Given the high bills we’ve had the last two months, DG suggested that perhaps the new Xbox 360 was eating up a lot of power.

Well, the battery managed to survive that incident (despite one mechanic’s assurances that he would need me to buy an expensive new battery) only [...]
Thanks to a hot tip from Ed, DottyGale snuck out under cover of early morning to Target today and scored a Wii. That’s right, we are now officially a Wii60 household—for the price of a PS3!
Thanks again to Ed. Now we’re off to play Rayman Raving Rabbids…
I was really excited to get an Xbox 360 back in December. Thinking back, though, I can’t remember exactly why I decided I wanted a new videogame system. I’m not sure which games I was looking forward to, other than, obviously, Halo 3.
I found out about Gears of War and that became the reason I [...]
