All Things Atari, Vintage Gaming & More
As 2022 draws to a close, I reflect back upon the ways in which I have closed yet another chapter of my life with writing about the past and have moved on. I hope everyone had a happy, healthy & joyous holiday with those you love the most, while opening your heart to new friends & giving back to your communities. Here's to an amazing new year! Here's to the future! There's a big new road ahead of us all. -BB #poetry #writing
In case you missed it! It's the "No Filter HD" #Holiday Special! This time, I play 3 games on the #AtariVCS purchased during the 2022 Holiday game sale! These include: #Guntech2, #SirLovelot & #HeroesofLoot on the #Atari #VCS! Each #game is so different, but I found them so enjoyable. Here, I play the game without interruptions, then speak before and after the game on my initial first impressions. Which game do you think I'll like most? Tune in to find out! #HappyHolidays!

Remember when 2021 held such promise? After an extremely bleak 2020 filled with deaths of loved ones and mass confusion the world over, 2021 seemed like a shining diamond on the parched horizons. Did 2021 live up to my expectations? No. Nothing does. With the global pandemic still burning, it's been yet another rough year... Continue Reading →
It's that time of the year again. Since 2004, I've written this poem annually to do a check on the state of affairs of myself during the holiday season. Here's this year's version. It's "Wintertide XVII" from my poetry book for Oct-Dec 2021, 'Earthly Delights in a Closed Type Universe.' Have a wonderful holiday! -BB... Continue Reading →
