It’s finally up on Engadget.com. Click here to be whisked away to it.
Please keep in mind this is a hardware retrofit, and thus shouldn’t be affected by the “modifed firmware bans” than have occured recently on Xbox Live. To quote a classic 90’s movie – “that sort of thing isn’t my bag, baby!”
Here’s another interview, since I guess my readers like knowing about them:
It includes the not-often-told connection my first portable had with me seeing “The Green Mile”. In future interview news, a spot on MTV’s Gametrailers is coming next week (probably Tuesday the 22nd) and a Spike TV segment for GameHead on June 8th. I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks to the folks at Fair Ratings 4 All, we now have a new host for my movies and all of them are finally available. You can access them directly from the “Movies page”, also found as a link over on the right column. Enjoy!

Again, sorry for the delay. One of these weeks I’ll get back releasing podcasts on a Wednesday! The fates have simply been against it lately.
In this episode we talk about society’s love affair and dependence on cell phones, gaming news items, Spider-Man 3 and then do a listener mailbag, with slightly better answers than usual. We also plan a Vista re-visist, probably in the next podcast. Enjoy…
Disclaimer: This episode contains more profanity than usual, both during the main content and intro. Not recommended for younger listeners.

Well I’ve finally started getting the first batch of VCSp Rev 5.1’s made. These are the finalized versions compared to the prototypes shown about a month ago. They include more features and actual PCB’s designed by myself for the support circuits.
One of the first production-style VCSp Rev 5.1 to be built (not including the prototypes)
For more information and photos see the rest of this article. If you’d like to buy one of these please shoot me an email. Cost is $350+trade of an Atari 2600 4-switch. I’ve got to build the first batch of about 10 orders first, but it’s good to keep adding people to the list.

Every summer there’s a swell classic gaming expo here in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin called the Midwest Gaming Classic. Taking place on the weekend of June 9th and 10th, it has become quite the show and, in my opinion, surpasses the Classic Gaming Expo out west. Here’s a handy visual reference of the location:
The heart of the Midwest, as seen from space.
The show is a lot of fun with many great vendors, a museum, food area, demonstrations and – last year at least – cheap beer! As an added bonus I will be speaking and doing a panel at the show, so if for some strange reason you’d like to see me “live, in person, one night only!” here’s your chance.
If you’re anywhere remotely close and like videogames you should think about coming. Did I mention the loads of arcade machines and pinballs, all set to free play? Check out their site for more details, and we’ll see ya there!
Sony has a track record of making very good products with “2” in the title but then having the “3”‘s be subject to critical lashing. The trend continues with Spider-Man 3, which is storming into theatres this weekend. What did I think of it, myself being a person who considers Spider-Man 2 the best comic book hero movie ever and Batman Begins good but quite overrated? Read on!
