LucasArts – You Will Be Truly Missed

  It was announced today that Disney is closing down the LucasArts studio.   So no more first party games.   Depending on how they license out the games, the properties may still live on.  However, I have a feeling that they will only leverage the Star Wars franchise and leave the rest to live

R.O.B. Saved But Now Will Suffer Life Imprisonment at Best Buy HQ

    This is my R.O.B.  I love my R.O.B.  I waited literally decades to get this robot and happy that I have him.   Heck, getting him was one of the last blog posts I did before I went hiatus.   Yesterday one of his brother’s took Reddit by storm.   People might have even
