Oh yeah, I had that one.  I was never very good at it since I wasn't good at Donkey Kong style games back then.  We had a lot of games on the Apple PC.  My dad would just come home with stacks of disks of games.  I wonder now if they were all pirated copies.  I would've condoned him for it back then, but I was only in kindergarten so I didn't know any better.  But then, he did have a friend who worked for Apple, so maybe they weren't pirated after all.  That guy sold us that computer in the first place.  One of my earliest memories is sitting on that guy's lap when I was little and playing Pac-Man on the computer we were about to buy.  I remember he was wearing an Apple t shirt with the old rainbow apple logo.  I think my favorite Apple games we had were Spare Change and Aquatron.

The only tech figure I have is the original Trigger Happy that came with one of the Skylanders games I reviewed.  The makers of the game must like Trigger Happy, since they use him in the Toys for Bob logo.

You know, this will be the first year in like, six years that there's not a new Skylanders game.  It'll be weird for me to not have a Skylanders game to review.

To clarify, all three Splatterhouses are on the Splatterhouse 3-D remake on the Xbox 360.  The Switch Namco Museum just has the first one.

I never had an Atari 2600.  My first game console was the 5200, although I played the 2600 a lot at neighbors and friends' houses.  I never had to deal with the crappy 2600 version of Pac-Man because I was playing several good versions of it on our Apple ][+ computer!

Yeah I'm a little baffled on how Splatterhouse got on here either.

I really enjoy my PS4.  In fact, right now I'm enjoying it more than the Switch.  That may change later on, but right now that's how it is.  I do enjoy my Switch, too, as I've been playing a lot of Splatoon 2 lately.  I don't have an Xbox One because there aren't enough games on it that interest me.  Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Xbox.  In fact, I loved the 360 and it was my favorite console of that generation.  I even liked it better than the Wii.

I've been enjoying Hey! Pikmin lately, too.  I'm at the last world.  I'll probably beat the game in a couple of days.

I'd love to do a podcast or a YouTube channel, but I lack the money, knowhow, and time to do that right now.

I don't really eat snacks while I play games.  I don't want to get spilled drinks and crumbs on my controllers and games and such.

Pac-Man CE2 is good, but I like the first one better.

I didn't watch the eclipse.  I missed out on getting any of the special glasses.  But after thinking about it, I didn't feel too bad.  I've been reading reports of some glasses being faulty, and my vision is bad enough as it is, I didn't want to chance making it worse.  Plus I had to get ready for work when it was happening.

Speaking of which, i work at a hardware store and we sell welding equipment, including helmets and glasses.  Over the past couple of days, I've been getting TONS of customers asking for welding goggles.  None of the ones we sell are strong enough to view the eclipse with.  The next day I went to work, all the welding glasses were gone.  I sure hope the customers did their research and took caution since I wasn't there to warn them!
