  1. April 5-7 I'll be arriving Friday night -- usually not much happening then, but I just want to get there so I can wake up the next morning and be there. Leaving Sunday afternoon.
  2. Pie Factory Podcast is back with episode 144! Today we discuss the ins and outs of opposing prepositions, while our listeners enjoy complex sentences and the deep meanings of racing with superheroes. Enjoy, dear friends, for this will likely be the last ever episode of January 2024. https://piefactorypodcast.wordpress.com/2024/01/30/episode-144-buggy-boy-and-x-men/
  3. I think it's 90 miles, 90 minutes. Train is about the same as driving.
  4. Just thought I'd start a thread. I'm going -- I didn't get to go last year. Have my ticket, staying at the Hilton, just need to make sure I get to my Amtrak train! (I learned in 2022 that the Amtrak station is only a few blocks away, and if I don't want to walk, the Uber ride is cheap enough.) Baird Center (formerly Wisconsin Center) in Downtown Milwaukee. Might take a break and venture out and explore some of the city; downtown Milwaukee is usually dead during the weekends, but I might take a bus or Uber or something to check out a neighborhood or two (at the very least to do some record shopping!). I keep saying it, but I SWEAR this year I WILL play Werewolf with the Guys, Games & Beer crew. (They are really, really nice people, btw.) Familiar guests to me -- Dr. Philip Ahn and Daniel Pesina from the arcade Mortal Kombat games (both really nice guys, the former who doesn't even like video games!), Paul Niemeyer (Midway artist, also a really nice guy), Tim Kitzrow (NBA Jam play-by-play voice; he is such a hoot!), Eugene Jarvis (famed -- to us, at least! -- Williams programmer who once got thrown out of a Chicago arcade after losing his temper at a Defender cabinet!), Marty Goldberg (he was kind enough to sign my copy of Atari: Business is Fun a few years ago), and Ben Heck, among others. Surprised I didn't see Brian Colin's name on the list; I was pretty sure he said he's going this year, as always. Pretty sure Svengoolie will be judging the cosplay contest.
  5. Free is still way overpriced to play that "game". Ughhh.
  6. Episode 0: an introduction to my weird records! A new year brings new hope, new beginnings, and…a new podcast! In this introductory episode, Sean talks about how he got into collecting records that even their vendors don’t know how to categorize. On the way, he’ll also share some general record collecting and maintenance advice. https://myweirdrecords.fab4it.com/2024/01/01/episode-0-an-introduction-to-my-weird-records/
  7. There are exactly two things that everybody likes: podcasts and video games. Nothing else. And boy, do we have some good news for you: for the first time ever, Jim and Sean have put the two together! Your 2023 will certainly go out on a high note as the two trade barbs over two arcade compilations. Who will win? What will their ultimate settlement be? The world may never know. But listen to episode 143 for at least some clues. https://piefactorypodcast.wordpress.com/2023/12/27/episode-143-namco-classic-collection/
  8. We here at Pie Factory Podcast do not do turkey drops; we do EPISODE drops. And today we're dropping episode 142! There's more to do in the world than just eat (although, listening to this episode, you'd never know that). We also like to play video games from time to time. So join us! https://piefactorypodcast.wordpress.com/2023/11/20/episode-142-join-em-and-phozon/
  9. Just in time for Portland Retro Gaming Expo (kinda), we present episode 141! This time, instead of the usual booing from people listening, the boos we here are from the spooky creatures that come herewith and thereto and therein with two creepy-themed games. Join us for our usual reviews, commentary, and side-splitting hair-raising banter! https://piefactorypodcast.wordpress.com/2023/10/14/ghosts-n-goblins-and-monster-bash/
  10. Episode 53: Where I've been, where I am, and where I'm going Whatever happened to this podcast? Well, listen on and find out! Lotsa new homebrews out, so little time! http://homebrew78.fab4it.com/index.php?name=hbh_episode_053.mp3
  11. Rumor has it that episode 141 has been released. Well, we're here to completely dispel that rumor: it's actually episode 140 that's been released. But not even a party band outside of Pie Factory Podcast's south headquarters could prevent Jimmy G from bringing you all the important news about a couple of 40-something-year-old video games, with the somewhat undying help of his cohost Sean. It's all about dedication, friends. https://piefactorypodcast.wordpress.com/2023/09/06/episode-140-astro-invader-redux-and-astro-fighter/
  12. Yeah, I'm a no-go on this unless they can guarantee that I can somehow load ROMs onto it via, say, Harmony, Concerto, or Dragonfly...or even via SD/microSD card. For me the attraction is HDMI. BTW, if you use the interest-free financing option, you actually save three cents. 🙂
  13. Normally not a fan of a cappella performances that reproduce the instruments too, but day-yum, this is GREAT!
