  2. “Lakeview Terrace” was the movie with Sam Jackson as the crazy cop neighbor. Decent flick, I enjoyed it!

    I personally love movies that scare the ever-living piss outta me! It’s rare that a movie will make me jump at shadows, but when they do, I totally love the adreneline high. “The Strangers” (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_strangers/) was the last movie to freak me out. I was glad when the wife decided to come downstairs and watch it with me half-way through, lol.

    “Blowing on the cart” – I’m sure that refers to the old trick with the NES when a game wouldn’t work. You pull it out, blow on the cart and in the NES slot and try again!

Gaming Flashback: DOOMGaming Flashback: DOOM

DOOM is a PC game titlat that wasn’t initially released in stores. It was uploaded to an FTP server in the University of Wisconsin-Madison and on the Software Creations BBS on the 10th of December; released as a shareware game, people were encouraged to download and spread the game around to all their friends.

In days before social networks and the wildfire of the Internet (or high speed networking) this game still managed to spread around to everyone in the gaming community. From1993 to 1995 the title had an estimated install base of 10 million computers. We were one of them.

Granted, ten million copies were installed but most were not registered and simply remained as shareware. However, over one million copies were sold for the registered version of DOOM and this brought momentum to their next non-shareware copy of the DOOM series. The Ultimate Doom (version 1.9, including episode IV) was released, making this the first time that Doom was sold commercially in stores.
