Everything away for the coming months...

Well the move started and that means everything must go out. Sadly, I had to pack up all of my collection and store it for the coming months.

Gotta love HDMI!

Well today was the first day I was able to try out the HDMI input my laptop came with(I got this laptop three years ago!) I'm happy to announce that it kicks ass!

Retro Game of the Week 046: Primal Rage(Gameboy)

Here comes one of the more decent fighters for the forgotten portable handheld. Primal Rage brings you dino-busting action to the palm of your hand and even though our handhelds nowadays do this with ease, this was a tough task back in the golden age of gameboy. Lots of other...
