    I don’t know what possessed me to get one, but I believe I traded in my PlayStation for this guy. System: I know I got it freshman year of college, which might explain it. I had a crazy amount of disposable income freshman year, when all my work-study cash went to dvds and nonsense instead…

    I loved the Super Nintendo, but come 10th grade, there would be no denying the events of 7-7-97. System: I remember going to Funcoland (still called Funcoland, not GameStop, at the time) to trade in my SNES and games for the original PlayStation. Final Fantasy VII was out, and it was not to be denied.…

    Ah, the SNES. Stately in thy countenance, worldly in thy repertoire. I definitely consider the SNES to be one of the finest gaming systems ever created. System: I must’ve traded in my Genesis for the Super Nintendo, because I can’t remember owning the Genesis after I got the Super Nintendo. Clearly this was the right…

    At some point in my life (around 1992 or 1993), I garnered enough cash to pick up the Sega Genesis. System: By the time I got it, it was the late model Genny, or as it’s known, the “sexy Genesis.” I still don’t know why I would go for the Genesis over the Super Nintendo,…

    Yes, I was a child in the 80s. Guess what? I had a NES. System: We lived just outside a much nicer neighborhood, where it seemed like every kid in existence had a NES. My parents, wisely, deemed that we were allowed video games, but they would never fund the purchase of a system or…

    In honor of the imminent arrival of my Nintendo DS Lite, I decided to do a series of posts on the ol’ blog where I go through my history with video game systems, from the first up to the DS itself. Without any further ado, let us begin a journey through the recent past.

    I’ve been itching to start a band for about five years now. This is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the same amount of time I’ve owned my bass guitar. But something now is telling me it’s time. It is time to call my allies to my side and form a truly righteous band. As a bass player, I…

    I worked with many smart, talented improvisers during my time with The Spin, a political improv show I was part of last year. One of them, a particularly incisive and well-informed gentleman, produced a documentary about the origins and consequences of global poverty entitled The End of Poverty?. It was a selection at the Cannes…

    I spent the majority of my time at home last month watching, experiencing the entire run of Battlestar Galactica. I saw the miniseries on January 2nd, and somehow I was able to watch 60+ episodes and a tv movie by the end of the month. I was aided in this by not having my normal…
