I'm on YouTube!

I finally got a decent digital camera, and I've been experimenting with posting videos on Youtube. The first one I did was a digital tour of my game room, and the second one was about my Saturn collection. I'm thinking of doing one last video on my Sega CD collection before calling it a night in terms of experimentation.

What I'd really like to do are short video reviews about specific Genesis games. Discussion about the box art and manual would be included, as well as gameplay footage. I just have to figure out how best to work the camera (Peter Jackson, I ain't).

Anyway, it's nice to be able to finally join the YouTube era, and at least this way I have another forum for sharing my love of Genesis games.

Welcome 2010

The new year has arrived, which means I have a lot of things to which I can look forward. I plan to start my doctorate degree soon, but it shouldn't hurt my commitment to Sega-16, which is something I cannot see myself not doing. The site's 5 and 1/2 now, and there's still just so much that I still want to write about.

I at least started the new year off on a good note for Sega-16. I finally got around to creating a Youtube channel, where I plan to post some videos of the different games in my Genesis collection. I just got a new digital camera and decided to test it out today by making a video tour of my game room.

Another thing that I intend to accomplish is beating 40 games this year. I completed 39 last year, and I really would like to beat that number. I played so many awesome games this year, and the amount coming in 2010 is staggering. I just hope my wallet can take it!

Oh, and I do hope to blog more, schedule permitting.

Laziness Wins Again, It Would Seem...

Whoah, three months since my last post! I guess no matter how hard one tries to maintain a blog, time is always the winner. I really want to keep this thing going, and I won't go into the lame "real life messed me up" spiel. Suffice it to say that Sega-16 is really keeping me busy, but that's a good thing, right? I've been meaning to write for it more - or at least as much as a job and two children will let me, so my distraction there isn't entirely without merit.

And what writing I have been doing! My latest article will be up in two weeks, and it sheds some interesting relevations on the whole Sonic The Hedgehog 3/Michael Jackson urban legend. It's a lengthy piece, and it features new quotes from former Sega alumni that were given specifically for this article, including a new one from former SOA head Tom Kalinske.

I guess that no matter how much time I try to devote to other hobbies (like blogging), Sega-16 will always be the thing that takes the lion's share of my online time. I'll just try to share it here with the two of you that actually read - or used to read - this thing!

It's Time to Give This Another Go...

A few years ago, I used to have a blog over at 1up.com. At the time, I figured I'd use it to discuss all the different things that were going on over at my site, Sega-16 (http://www.sega-16.com/), and it was something of a challenge to actually remember to update the darn thing. After a few months, I let it die of starvation, and the world of blogging was left behind me forever...

... or so I thought.

Here I am, giving it another chance, and I honestly hope to keep it updated, at least weekly. What is it with people's obsession with blogs? Why do we feel compelled to share out inner thoughts with people we don't even know? Does anyone read these things? I'm not sure who'll be interested, but I look at the bright side: if no one is reading this, then I'm effectively talking to myself, and people will be none the wiser.
