Latest YouTube Video

Crazy Climber scales his way up the Colecovision homebrew heap in this brand new (and not remotely easy!) take on the arcade classic. Phosphor Dot Fossils ( http://www.thelogbook.com/phosphor/​ ) is one of the web's oldest archives of vintage console, computer, and arcade games; there was also a 2-DVD documentary of the same name, covering the early history of video games, produced in 2008 and 2009 (now available for download at http://www.thelogbook.com/store/​ ). And these days? PDF aims to bring a more laid-back, less-caffeinated, less-profanity-spewing experience to the retro video game longplay video. Check out my other projects and podcasts: eBooks "VWORP!1", "VWORP!2", "WARP!1" and "Fatherhood, Fandom, And Fading Out" available at http://www.thelogbook.com/store/​ and at Amazon! Select Game: Expanded Memories of the Odyssey2 podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/selectgame/​ Retrogram podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/retrogram/​ Don't Give This Tape To Earl podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/thistape/​ theLogBook.com's Escape Pod daily mini-podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/podcast/​ And, of course, the site that started it all, combining sci-fi, retro video games, book, music and toy reviews, and all sorts of retro-futurist fun: http://www.thelogbook.com​ All of the above podcasts are available on iTunes and Stitcher.
