Wave at Saturn!

So, if one puts any stock into the Weather Channel’s invented, hurricanesque “storm names” for winter storms – names that are their invention and not recognized or sanctioned (but are, in all likelihood, giggled at) […]

I’ve got several “family portraits” of our cat family, most of which are down to luck. I’ve been trying to keep my eyes open for opportune moments to get both dogs together, but there just […]

You’re who, again?

I'm just your typical compulsively-writing, sci-fi-and-science-obsessed, classic-video-game-playing, action-figure-collecting dad.


That's me in red with the smooth round head.

I run theLogBook.com and host its daily Escape Pod podcast and the monthly podcasts Select Game and Don't Give This Tape To Earl. I've written several books (WARP!1, VWORP!1, VWORP!2, Fatherhood, Fandom And Fading Out, and The Escape Pod Logs), and produced the Phosphor Dot Fossils video game documentaries. Follow me on Twitter @LogBookGuy, like theLogBook.com on Facebook, or contact me here.

Robot City: for all your robot needs!  Or at least if you have need of a bunch of robots who are out to kill you dead at the first opportunity.  A really neat unreleased prototype from the European Videopac library (basically the Odyssey2).


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.

Sinistar: contains asteroids, crystals, worker ships, gunships, and one very hungry Sinistar.  He's so hungry.  He'll tell you so.  As he eats your ship in a single mechanical gulp.

Wait, am I the UFO or are these other guys the UFOs?  Aren't we all UFOs in someone else's sky?  And was Magnavox trying to hump the leg of someone else's UFO?  I mean...aside from this being the Odyssey2's lovely near-beer version of Asteroids, that is.

Phosphor Dot Fossils steps into the 1990s, and into the realm of Neo Geo arcade gaming, to take on Neo Turf Masters, a surprisingly buff name for a perfectly pleasant game of golf.
