Getting into The Sims Online started me off in getting into long term community commitment. The 2002 game sparked the eventual long term goal of getting into online communities.
Greening!

Dog Days Of Podcast 2014 – Regret-Box – 13
Buying the xbox when I did may have been the biggest financially irresponsible thing I did in my young adult years. It was only the tip of the iceberg of things I screwed up during the early 2000’s.
It’s not us, but this brings back memories of that LAN party.
Dog Days Of Podcast 2014 – PS2 At UNO – 12
Today we start a more personal look at the world of gaming and it’s impact on my life. We’re starting in 2001/2002 and I gotta warn you the next couple of episodes cover a time in my life I’m not happy with.
No video today. Just remember to hug someone you love.
Dog Days Of Podcast 2014 – Plays the Station – 11
The Playstation was a fun system to check out. Seeing the first real contender post the Nintendo Vs. Sega Console Wars in action was a cool experience. It was also the first game console that wasn’t a gift to one of us kids. Lyle bought it himself with his money and that seemed to make it that much cooler.
Final Fantasy VII’s remaster introduction is awesome:
Dog Days Of Podcast 2014 – First Podcast Shooter – 10
You know what helps getting a podcast rolling? Exporting the file before you sit down to RP.
This Episode, we talk about First Person Shooters, and console vs PC debate, and the adrenaline high from gaming.
Check out Rooster Teeth’s Achievement Hunter group in a great console shooter, Titan Fall.
Archivist’s notes: CAUTION, this video contains a certain someone from AH that at the time when this DDoP entry was made, was not known for their actions they would take in the years to come. We are not naming him, and are only including this video for the sense of posterity in the original posting. I do not encourage you to watch this or any other video in which AH might make money off of this individual’s presence now or ever.
Dog Days Of Podcast 2014 – Stalling For Time – 09
Dog Days Of Podcast 2014 – 3DDDDDDDDD :D – 08
The Nintendo 64, the first time I experienced three dimensional gaming in the console world. While 3D gaming had been around for some time, playing the polished gems of Nintendo and related titles made for great gaming experiences with my friends and family.
Playing Oddjob on Goldeneye is still bullshit.
Some Goldeneye 64 multiplayer (I haven’t watched it, so maybe language?)
Dog Days Of Podcast 2014 – Full Motion – 07
The era of Full Motion Video games and the cradle of first person shooters dominated much of my non-console experiences in the mid-90’s. These games were part of the building structure of my gaming world but many of these games wouldn’t make it into my rolodex of perfect games, but they would serve as good experiences to anyone looking to understanding the gaming choices made in years to come.
Some Eye Of The Beholder love:
Followed up by some Quake action. 52 minutes speed run of the entire game. Even I don’t have enough gamer drive to try and master this.
Dog Days Of Podcast 2014 – Of Dice And Men – 06
Role-Playing Games are the glue that ties my connections to people and virtual worlds. They’ve been a guiding light during my online experiences, and there’s a pretty clear point by point path from my introduction to the dice based hobby in the summer of ’92 to the finding myself sitting at my desk and writing this post. This one gets a little heavy at times so be prepared.
Check it out! The Dragonstrike VHS! Sweet.
Dog Days Of Podcast 2014 – The Idol – 05
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System was and is the go to system for fun and perfection in the gaming universe. These claims are colored entirely by nostalgia, a statement I will easily admit. The games were my baseboard for story, adventure, and fun. Having recently read the book Console Wars recently, my view on that world has shifted a bit but I still find that time probably my favorite time in gaming.
It’s a great read and I highly recommend it. I’m super biased as it covers a very dear time to me in my life, but the impact of corporate politics and how they drive the world of entertainment is a great reason to check it out.
