Yup, I did it.  I finally did it.  Formally known as Spunkyd99, I bit the bullet and joined the PixlBit writing staff.  Nick DiMola had encouraged me to join the staff back in June, but I ended up dragging my feet a bit…which would turn out to be months.    And after a much need sabbatical from blogging, I decided to return and contribute my thoughts to fine gaming site that is PixlBit.  After all, this place took me in when I needed a new place to blog after the whole 1Up “shutdown” incident.  I want help PixlBit be the best it can be.

So what will I be doing here?  The only thing I’m good at really-- retro game reviews.  It’s a section some of you may know as “Review Rewind”.  I intend to really beef it up with more old timey game reviews and add to the diverse offerings of this fine place.  I hope you all will enjoy reading them and get some conversation going about the good 'ol days.

This is going to be fun!

That didn't take long. But now we know yoru REAL name. Bwahahaahhahah!!

Why is that scary? i don't know...

Every site could use some retro love. If we don't remember the past we are doomed to repeat it, well the bad stuff specifically. Congrats on being on here as an official writer. I know you'll do great.
