UNITED STATES—So far in our SNES Chronicles, we have discussed “Secret of Evermore” and “Super Mario World.” This week I want to discuss another game that reminds me of my childhood vividly and is a game that allows one to escape and get immersed into the Light and Dark World. Any guesses as to what game I am referring...

UNITED STATES—I promised that I would talk this week about a game and a name that I am certain is synonymous with any gamer. I mean who hasn’t heard of Mario, notably, Mario Bros from the 1985 NES video game system. That game was not easy people, and neither are any of its subsequent sequels. However, that is for...

HOLLYWOOD—There is something I learned about myself during the pandemic: I was always a great gamer, but as I got older my ability to game just hit the sideline because of becoming an adult. The pandemic gave me a bit more time to indulge in my favorite pastime, even more so the fact that I learned about this streaming...

UNITED STATES─There are people out there who are gamers and there are people out there who are really gamers. During my younger years, I was without a doubt a gamer, as an adult not so much.

First, Nintendo released the NES Classic, which flew off the store shelves quicker than you can count to three. The success of that system led to Nintendo unleashing the SNES Classic in September 2017 to major success. If you’re a kid of the...

HOLLYWOOD—I’ve talked about my gaming past some time ago. Like I told so many people who ask me why I no longer play video games? Well, the first would be the fact that I’m an adult, and the second would be life is so busy where is the time. However, I have started to carve out a small time...

UNITED STATES—The idea of autonomous vehicles (and yes it is still just an idea) does not appeal to me, as a car guy. However, automation itself, is not completely unappealing to me. An automated personal assistant for example is something everyone wishes they had. Something to help you with all your tedious/mundane tasks. Something to help keep your life organized...
