Just a quick note, if you’re in the Boston area next week you should consider joining the Games for Health Conference 2010.
It’s an amazing event where industry professionals, health advocates and researchers get together to discuss how gaming can help with the health and rehabilitation of people. Accessibility is also discussed and I’ll be taking part in a workshop to come up with new ideas in that field.
Check out their website here, and we’ll see you there!
Making a PS3 laptop really wasn’t an “uncharted” course for me.
Here it is, a new PS3 Slim laptop and this time it’s black! With blue accents. Specs:
You can check out more pictures and video below. Remember, if you have a crazy idea and the money, I can make the time!
In this thrilling new episode we’re joined again by Dale Nauertz for fun and profit. Topics include:
1) The iPad, iLiver, Apple Store and new pinball machine ideas.
2) TV shows that need to die and the zeitgeist of Mad Men.
3) Do celebrity spokespeople actually cause products to sell? Which do we find effective?

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since I completed my first portable the VCSp but it’s true. Many things have happened since then, including the Xbox 360 laptop, Commodore 64 portable and of course, Possumus Woman.
In honor of this momentous occasion I’ve prepared some fun stuff for our visitors to enjoy:
The Atari 2600 Portables Site – Explore the site as it appeared back in the olden days. Most of the navigation works, so have fun!
VCSp Making Of – The very first story about portables I ever published to the web
SNESp Making Of – A classic, completely overdone ‘making of’ from 2001.
Plus you can check out a bunch of classic Benheck videos after the break. Enjoy…
Recorded live from the Midwest Gaming Classic , it’s the Benheck.com podcast with special guest Dale Nauertz!
Listen and be amazed as we discuss:
1) The “Best Actress Curse” and the hotness of Sandra Bullock.
2) L-shaped bedsheets and the plot of the never-going-to-happen Port Washington 2, plus what we’re planning for the going-to-happen Possumus Man 3 in 2021.
3) The 3D “movie tax” and the death of documentaries in IMAX.
And much, much more…
Where else can you walk by a car and see this in the passenger seat?
Now while I know a lot of you are going to PAX East, I would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone in the Midwest to come to the 2010 Midwest Gaming Classic.
It is being held at the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel which is on the west-ish side of Milwaukee, right off the interstate. And within range of the MKE airport shuttle. Sweet.
There is all sorts of cool stuff to do including my favorite – loads of free pinball. And arcades too. You can buy all sorts of videogame stuff, hang out with other enthusiasts oh and course… play Bill Paxton Pinball. We’re going to log scores (if you wish) and have a “Best of 4” playoff at the end of each day (via the 4 player mode). Winners will appear on this website and… I dunno… get a signed copy of Possumus Woman or something.
Benheck.com has an entire room this year so be sure to come on down and check us out. Saturday we’re doing a live podcast, then on Sunday I’ve got a panel to discuss the creation of my pinball.
See you all there!
