Back in 2010 I spoke about re-shaping Super Computer Geek, perhaps abandoning the Xoops platform I used at the time for Drupal. Unfortunately, I didn’t make good on any of my plans for this site. At the time my family had experienced several tragic loses in a very short amount of time and I found it incredibly difficult to make progress on any projects for quite some time.
Another Successful Extra Life!
It’s been a long time since my last post (428 days to be precise) and quite a bit has kept me busy. However, I’m going to keep it short and just focus on 2017 Extra Life. Brent and I continued with It’s Friday! to a total of 24, we’ll call them, episodes. We also did independent 2017 […]
IFBS 8: Nidhogg & Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
On the next live episode of It’s Friday! with Brent and Sean we play Nidhogg & Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet and then give them away. Join us at 6PM (PT) on Twitch or YouTube Gaming and jump into chat for a chance to win a game. We’re streaming as part of our Extra Life campaigns supporting […]
Announcing It’s Friday! with Brent and Sean
Brent and Sean (me) are at it again. Join us as the work week ends and the weekend begins for some videogame related shenanigans. We will be playing local multiplayer games, usually badly and sometimes with guest that will probably be better than us. Once again we’re doing this as part of our Extra Life […]
Extra Life $1,000 Challenge
Okay everyone here is my challenge to you. If my Extra Life campaign raises $1,000 for Children’s Hospital LA, I’ll run and live stream a tabletop or role playing game such as Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, or BattleTech. Make a Donation! Those that contribute $50 or more will get to […]
Game Day Approaches…
Since Extra Life Game Day quickly approaches I thought I would get my schedule of Extra Life activities posted. But first… Thank you to everyone that has contributed to my effort this year. My campaign has raised $450 for Children’s Hospital LA, of my $1,000 goal. At the moment Children’s Hospital LA is #1 in overall […]

This time it will be live streaming a ‘blind let’s play’ (my first play through ever) of The Walking Dead: The Game Season 2 by Telltale Games. I’ll be marathoning for the 9 hours prior to Season 6 West Coast Premiere of AMC‘s The […]
Walking Dead Marathon for Extra Life
On Sunday, August 23rd I’ll be playing Season 1 of The Walking Dead: The Game, by Telltale Games, from beginning to end for my first Extra Life Marathon this year, with all funds going to support Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Everything will kick off at 7:00am (PT) and conclude between 7:00 and 9:00pm (PT), just prior […]
Cutting the Co… Satellite Signal
After spending a few hours researching, cord-cutting appears to be the best option. At the moment I’m examining Sling TV and PlayStation Vue. Sling TV is $20/month and has Add-ons which range from $5-15/month. However I would be plenty happy with the core package. Sling is available on a number of devices, though sadly lacks Chromecast […]
Adventures in Corporate (Dis)Loyalty
Recently I became aware of an impending increase in my DirecTV bill due to reaching the mid-way point on my 2-year contract. This wasn’t a new subscriber contract either. After subscribing to DirecTV for almost 8 years and having DVRs that were released when I subscribed, I had asked about getting upgraded to the Genie since it had better […]
