Good lord, it’s been a while!

Yeah, yeah…  I know…  I’m the most inconsistent bloggor evor…  Anyway, TO THE SUBJECT!

During the holidays, I received a PS3, while despite only having a handful of games worth purchasing (so far), is undoubtedly one of the more futuristic pieces of gaming technology.  Quite Fancy!  In the last several days, I have wasted many an hour playing Little Big Planet, and Eden. Woo!

Those who are close to me would definitely define me as a pack rat…  I have ruins from back in the days of Elementary school still sitting around, because someday a situation may arise that calls for my 5th grade Spanish notes.  To segue into the topic at hand (using the PS3 as a juxtapositioning tool), I was rifling through some things in a closet this holiday, and came across some pretty amazing techno-gems from my past.  I thought I would share them with the rest of you biscuits…

My first laptop computer…  This thing actually plugged into a massive dock, that converted it into a desktop computer.  It easily weighs around 75 pounds.

Ahh, my original gameboy.  This muted grey brick is astounding in its heft, and can be described in one word: unwieldy… most likely because it contained an entire pack of AA batteries.  You may remember that the old-school gameboy’s screen was not back lit, not to mention impossible to see the minuscule screen, so you had to trick out your GB with a slew of accouterments.  I had a ridiculously large magnifying glass, that could also be used for focusing the sun and setting fire to large patches of pretty much anything, as well as a light, that attached to absolutely nothing, so I was forced to keep it in place in pure ghetto fashion- with some duct tape, or several rubber bands.  AMAZING.

I also located my more modern, slimmer gameboy color, as well as the gameboy camera, and its printer!  I was shocked to find that it actually still worked a little bit, as it pooped out a little “hello” message, which can be seen at the very top of the post.  Sidenote:  Check out those grotesque error screens!!

Here’s a few classic titles…  Some Ren and Stimpy’s Space Cadet, a little Beetlejuice, and who could forget the classic, Tiny Toon Adventures: Bab’s Big Break.

In this mess of fossils I came across my Sega Genesis, my Saturn, and my PSone to boot!  Pretty sweet if you ask me.

I’m hoping you all had a tolerable holiday!  Weeeehew!
