My new blog. Coming soon. Welcome to my new blog/web site. Guess it's a little of both. Or neither. I thought I would work on some content before going live and even then gradually publish entries. In addition to everything else I'm also trying to learn WordPress.

Title Last of Us Part II Platform: PlayStation 4Genre:Action/adventure, stealthDate completed:May 2021 Information on game Summary review: The sequel to what many consider a masterpiece from the PS3 era.

Better living through Scratch (Meta #8)
I'm not sure if this fits into my already ill-defined "meta" category but I'm going to go with it. Since my last meta, I actually started a new game which assuming I ever finish (looks like at least 100 hours for completion, probably more) I will post a review for.

The Arcade Cab Project Part 2: Parts and components
This is a continuation the prior post about about the - as of now - hypothetical arcade cab project. I thought I should start listing some details of the "Mark I" as listed in part I.

Extracting drivers from Windows
Since about 2014 (as I write this late-2019) I started buying these incredibly low-end and low-priced Intel Atom-based devices. There was something about a device running windows and coming in under $100 that never failed to fascinate me (actually I got a non-windows Atom device for around $45, as a novelty). Let me stop here … Continue reading Extracting drivers from Windows
