I am replaying The Guardian Legend yet again, and it's somehow even better than I remembered. I bought it new for 10 bucks at a toy outlet in 1990 or so, and it transformed what I thought games could be. Space Zelda Compile vertical shooter where RPG elements affect both modes?! Yes please.

I just found the source code to my original 1UP Text Adventure from 2009, the little homebrew game that got me my first gig in gaming freelancing at 1UP.com. Should I clean it up, recompile it, and put it online?

It's May the 4th, a good day to go all the way back to 1977 when a beautiful movie taught kids the proper response to entrenched fascism: get together with your friends and blow it all up with some proton torpedoes... and don't cry for dead Stormtroopers.

I don't think enough Americans fathom the megaton-scale systemic racism SCOTUS just unleashed on the Republic. And worse, many of those who do get it are celebrating. So many people died to claw us out of Jim Crow. Turns out the bad old laws died on the books, but not in the hearts of White America.
