arid mullet rah rah rah...

It's got to the air-conditioning time of the year in San Jose, again - but luckily, we do seem to have some of that. So I'm trying a laptop in the artificial chill.

So, work continues apace on my multiple projects. Looks like we'll finally give games a hub-page on Archive.org soon, but another sneak peek - this time from the videogame preview movies collection, with >2000 in-game movies from 1993-2003, many not available online before - check out the John Romero mullet action in the Doom 2 ad, for one. I dunno, if we organize it well enough and keep it well-categorized, it feels important to preserve for the future.

Otherwise, been enjoying some more good-quality Ovation TV documentaries on middle-of-nowhere digital cable, all nicked from the UK, including artfully constructed pieces on Blur, as well as Creation Records (which has Alan McGee unfortunately highlighting One Lady Owner as 'the next big thing' at the end of it.) Oh, and I'm currently watching The Hound of the Baskervilles, the Peter Cook and Dudley Moore version, which is dashed odd.

Elsewhere, some bargain bin hunting at EB showed up super-2D shooter Gekioh for PS1 and the super-Japgeek PS2 boardgame vs. CCG Culdcept, and some catching-up on UK-purchased reading with Bill Bryson's excellent and super-readable 'how science works' tome A Short History Of Nearly Everything. And I'm out.
