Old Arcade Games

I was at the PSP page today just browsing through all the games they have on there and I noticed they had these collections and one of them had like 50 Atari 2600 games and so I looked at the pictures and of course it is indeed the old 2600 games which were so bad but to 1980's standards, well, let's face it, they were still bad then lol. My cousins had Atari 5200 and it was more similar to the arcade games than the 2600 was. I was very jealous. My other cousin Stephen had a Nintendo and that was a bit cooler. Anyway, then I found another collection called Namco Museum Battle Collection. That has about 20 games like Pac Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, Galaxian etc. 4 of the games they redid for the PSP too. I know of 3 of them, Pac Man, Dig Dug and Galaga they totally redid to give them a little 3Dness so they look way cool. I found it on ebay new still in package for like $15 so of course I had to buy it. I don't know when I'll get it because I bought it on a Saturday and it wont go out until Monday probably and it's coming via USPS which means it will be longer than if it were coming via UPS or Fedex. That's fine though because the mail carrier can put it in the wood box outside and nobody will take it and I wont have to worry about staying home for it hehe. I can't wait to play Galaga and Dig Dug after all these years.

My Computer Is Slow

It appears that my computer needs to be reformated once again. I really hate it when that happens. I'm going to try uninstalling stuff that insist on running when I turn the computer on first and see if that helps as well as defragmenting (again). I want to try everything I can to avoid reformating. Everytime I get on EverQuest it takes forever to log in then once I get on it disconnects then I have to wait another 15-20 min before it lets me back on again. Last night I totally missed the raid because of it. It just kept freezing. I think it might be Yahoo Widgets that is doing it to me though. So I'm going to just make it so it doesn't start with Windows. Hopefully that will help. I do like the widgets though because of the TV Guide and Coke Rewards feature. Those 2 are really the only widgets I need. It makes it so much easier to enter my coke rewards and to view the tv guide without having to load the website and wait forever for it to load.

Games For PSP

We went to the mall today to pay for Chips Sears card and he decided he was going to buy me a game. I kept refusing but we ended up going to the Game Stop and buying a game but we came home and I played it and it was so lame. We are going to return it tomorrow. I've been looking for a game that is similar to Tetris that we can play on the PSP but there are none. Or are there? I found on Amazon.com a game called "Sega Genesis Collection" and it has 28 Sega Genesis games including Sonic the Hedgehog and Columns which is what I had when I had the Sega Game Gear. Columns is Segas version of Tetris which is a little different but it works. The other 26 games sound cool, I've never played them so it will give me a chance to see what they were like. It's cool that there are 28 games on 1 UMD so I don't have to keep switching the UMD's. It's gonna be awesome. And Chip will finally have a game that he can play. He doesn't get into all the games but when I got my Game Boy 14 years ago he loved playing Tetris.

Ugh I lost my atm card today. We went to a town near Lake Isabella to pick up a clock that needed to be repaired then we went to lake isabella and it must have fallen out of my coat pocket. I am very frustrated at this.

Chip Was Robbed At Gun Point

Tonight Chip had to go to the ATM machine across the street to deposit $110 so he could pay his credit card bill when that cleared and when he got there he grabbed his sears card instead of his debit card so he had to walk back home. This guy was sitting on the brick wall across the street from the ATM machine watching him and saw Chip go across the street and turn onto 3rd street and waited until Chip got up to the front door then robbed him. He held the "gun" up to his neck and said this is a robbery give me all your money. Well Chip had the $110 ($100 dollar bill and 2 $5's) and handed it to the guy and the guy started digging into his pockets. Luckily he didn't find the rest of the money, he was in too much of a hurry so he took off. Chip isn't quite sure if it was a gun or if it was the guys finger but when you are in this situation there isn't time to think. He could've taken the keys and the car or possibly come into the house and robbed both of us.

Bye Bye Guestbook

Well I retired the guestbook permanently. Nobody signs it except for spammers. So it's gone for good. It would've been nice if my friends had signed it instead. I don't know why people go through the trouble of visiting my website just to find a form to spam it.
