The wearables and fitness and sleep tracking dilemma

The wearables and fitness and sleep tracking dilemma

Oct 31, 2014

As a long-time technology and fitness enthusiast, I’m the perfect target for what is now becoming an avalanche of devices designed to help us be healthier, track our sleep patterns, and give us all kinds of purportedly useful data about our general state of being. Naturally, as a result, Microsoft’s recent announcement...

Armchair Arcade is now social media enhanced

Armchair Arcade is now social media enhanced

Oct 30, 2014

Just a quick heads up that I upgraded the Armchair Arcade Website to allow for major social media logins, commenting, and content sharing. What this means is that you can use your favorite major social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.) to more easily interact with the Armchair Arcade Website....

The Real Commodore Vic-20 Prototype

The Real Commodore Vic-20 Prototype

Oct 29, 2014

Thanks to Marty Goldberg and his post on the Facebook group, Vintage Gaming (& Computing), we were given the heads-up on John Feagan’s photo and commentary on some early Commodore Vic-20 history. Here’s John’s commentary: History of the Vic-20 development has been rewritten by the non-participants–but I have the pictures....

Why I’m switching back to the iPhone from Android

Why I’m switching back to the iPhone from Android

Oct 25, 2014

Soulless (Commodore 64) review

Soulless (Commodore 64) review

Oct 24, 2014

Soulless title screen Over the past several years, there has been a renaissance of sorts in the Commodore 64 homebrew community, with regular releases of commercial quality games on cartridge. Whether it’s with graphics, like with C64anabalt (2011, Paul Koller), which looks nearly as good as the modern mobile and...

Another Kickstarter disaster

Another Kickstarter disaster

Oct 24, 2014

Although it comes as no surprise at this point, it’s still worth it to report that yet another Kickstarter has failed to deliver. This time, it’s for the Writerase, which featured the tagline, “Simply write and erase, or ‘Writerase’, with our customizable dry erase notebooks!.” In this case, despite receiving over 32,000...

The Wasteland 2 Kickstarter boxed edition received!

The Wasteland 2 Kickstarter boxed edition received!

Oct 23, 2014

After 2 years, 6 months, and 6 days from when it was successfully funded on Kickstarter, I finally received my boxed copy of Wasteland 2. While the box quality and exterior design leave a little something to be desired, it’s still nice to have it in my hands. While I already...

Welcome to the new Armchair Arcade!

Welcome to the new Armchair Arcade!

Oct 22, 2014

It’s with great pleasure that I unveil the new Armchair Arcade. This is our third (and hopefully final) major site redesign since our inception in 2003. While the two previous incarnations of the Armchair Arcade Website still remain accessible (and a rough archive of the version prior to that), this site...
