WIL WHEATON dot NET: 1.5

Can I make it first comment twice in one week?

Donkey Kong - man haven't played that in a dogs age!

By the way, your insomnia is catching! I've had the worst two nights sleep ever this week! Grrr!

And Logger looks SHITE!

And Logger looks SHITE!

And I posted twice - what a dumbass!

Is there a record for a single person commenting on your blog in a row?

OK, I had a proper look at Logger, and it still looks shite. I always hated it when you got ripped off by a game that was a clone of something else. I felt dirty and used!

But like you say, once you put your money in, it's too damn late!

WTF?

How come as I'm the only one commenting here?

Wil, you put everyone off with that stuff about qutting your blog!

Hell, I was going to post a comment yesterday, but never found the option.
So I guess its just you and me Gabby? :o)
Donkey Kong was a kick as* game. I used to love playing against my grandfather when I spent summers with him. Luckily we never ran accross Logger.

Hey Anj!

Too weird this - I thought there'd be 100 comments by now like there usually is...

Yeah, Logger fortunately never crossed my path either thank goodness!

I always sucked at Donkey Kong though - I don't recall the sprite collision detection being all that hot.

Man, your bio lines alone are worth the visit. Even for hack game like Logger.

Did you review Bosconian and I missed it? That was the only game I was ever the best on the block at. All energy, no value to memorizing patterns. I miss games like that.

Good Morning Gabby!!
Once you got the rhythem of it, it got easier. I remember playing it until the break of dawn, only pausing to grab more cheese balls and another mountain dew.
As far as arcade games I was more of a Ms.PacMan girl. Ahh I remember the excitement of getting to the banana level...
Yeah the lack of comments is weird. But, it was nice getting to *meet* you. :o)

Hey Anj

My personal favourite was Bomb Jack. (sorry if I got the name wrong). I liked the backdrops of all the different places in the world, and floating around picking up bombs.

Another favourite I saw once and never again was Blueprint. I only played it a couple of times, and it was probably crap really, but I remember it made a big impression on me at the time!

Hope Wil doesn't mind us chatting up his comments section!

Found this on google http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=B&game_id=7172
Is that the one you remember? At a quick glance it seems like a decent site.
I dont remember seeing that one or Bomb Jack, but then, during that time in my life I was in the middle of Nebraska and they always seemed a little behind in the games department.
Sorry Wil, for chatting it up in your comments. Hope you can forgive us. :o)

Heh! Yes thats the one! Thanks Anj!

Happy days!

Sorry Wil - I'll shut up now...

Hey Wil! Wow, I have been slacking on your blog, but good to see you're still doing the AV club for theonion and all that jazz.

:) hope you're well!

Good lord, but I'm old. *lmao* Last game I actually played in an arcade was...was...Hm. Centipede. Sometime in the mid-80's. But I had a mini-arcade version of PacMan at home that I cramped my fingers on regularly due to those tiny joysticks. My brother had the one for Galaxian (and I was pretty good at that one too). Never came across Logger, though. I'm glad I didn't *hee hee*

Props, Wil, for posting a Danny Elfman lyric! (http://tinyurl.com/8usv5)

Since JumpMan was really Mario before he was Mario, wouldn't be be a plumber and not a carpenter? Okay, this is weird. I did some research and lots of folks claim he, uh, changed professions between DK Jr. and Mario Bros, but, for the life of me, I don't remember him ever having been established as a carpenter in DK. Where is it?

*snorts* extra points to you for the Monty Python reference, Wil...classic!
