First off, thanks to everyone who’s been voting so far. The voting totals are climbing, which makes me happy. We broke 60 votes for the first time with this past poll! This past week, I managed, with many continues, to defeat 3-D Worldrunner. I then beat it twice more instantly. So that means a new …

Vote on the 9/6 Suffering Saturday!
While it took about 3 hours, I did manage to beat Blaster Master yesterday. I didn’t manage to make it through Snake, Rattle ‘N Roll, but that’s okay. That, along with 3-D Worldrunner (Read about both of these in the previous poll post), will re-enter the voting pool. Joining them is a new challenger. Those …

Vote on the 8/30 Suffering Saturday!
So today I had a successful Suffering Saturday stream, beating both Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts and the arcade version of Ghosts ‘N Goblins. Look for writeups on those in the Games I Beat In 2014 series soon. For now, though, it’s time to vote on what game I suffer through next Saturday! Since two of …

State of the Emptyeye- March through May
It’s been awhile since I did one of these. Let’s get to it. First of all, I’ve started my new job. It’s the same title as my previous one–Systems Analyst/Programmer–but my actual work is quite different. Without getting too into specifics, my first big job is moving data in an Access database out of Access …

State of the Emptyeye- February/Early March
Let’s check in with how I’ve been doing of late, shall we? The Games I Beat In 2014 series continues to grow. It now has 17 entries, six of which are games I had never beaten before. The most recent (As of this writing) in the series, Metroid Fusion, was a fun, expected entry that …

State of the Emptyeye for January
So I should use this “blog” thing I have more often. Since I made a Resolutions Post early in January, let’s see how I’ve done with those so far! Lose Some Weight: This is generally going pretty well–though my rate of weight loss has slowed down, I’m a little over halfway to my weighing-147-pound goal …

Resolutions
2013 was not the best year, to say the least. As we start 2014, I am currently Unemployedeye, among other things. I was never one for making resolutions. But with this being a year of big transition, I figure this is as good a year as any to do so. So with that, my first …

The Twitch.TV 2000-Follower Special Poll!
As of this writing, I have 1908 followers on my Twitch.TV page. That means, much like I did for the 1000-follower threshold, it’s time to make a poll for what I should play for the 2000-follower special. Since I’m not going to Awesome Games Done Quick this year, and since I’m starting farther out than …

Game Review- Scribblenauts Unlimited
Nowadays, it’s rare that I actually play a game that could conceivably be called “current”. The last time I did so was probably Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. With the advent of the latest Humble Bundle (As of this writing, the Humble WB Bundle), I decided to grab some games I had been meaning to pick …

On Charity Video Game Marathons
On Twitter and the like, various members of the speedrunning community have given their thoughts on the seeming glut of marathons in the community. Because I am a shameless trendchaser, these are my own thoughts on it. I have joked on Twitter about my less-than-stringent methods for choosing whether or not I will participate in …
