Lazy, Hazy Summer

July 11, 2006 By Glenn Turner

We're back from our (extended) July 4th vacation, and what better way to celebrate than to post a new article?

But why write about a fifteen-year-old port? Simply because it's summertime and we're straddling video game generations, which means that there's just not a whole heck of a lot out in the new release department right now.

Consequently, for the rest of the summer I'll be digging through the hundreds of games garnered through our garage saling activities, trying to mine them for content. That's not to say we'll only be writing about decade-old games until fall arrives, but don't be surprised if a similarly-aged game graces the front page next week!

Seems like releases for both games and movies are disappointing at the moment, and I've usually been able to count on the American summer for lots of new toys and things to watch.

I liked the Columns write-up, though I haven't made that apparent to anyone but myself and Brutus the rat until now.

Also, I'm happy knowing that the gaming industry is having a relatively tepid summer, as I have no means by which to play anything now.

I'm happy it's slow because I'm not required to spend $50 every week on something new and tantalizing.

Though I do so love to be tantalized... :?
