Game of Thrones as a Throwback


My homeboy +Chris Simms shared this with me on G+.  This is great work, not only is it funny but they did some great video editing and effects.  The music helps out a lot too.  Enjoy, and don't worry the real Game of Thrones will be back soon.

If Only I Still Had SNES & Genesis Games...



I saw the following article on Engadget this morning and though that it was a great gadget for any of us 80's babies.  I would have to say that the two systems that dominated the game industry for the longest time when I was a kid was Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.  Now they have a small device called the Retrode 2 that will allow you to play these games on your computer.  If you still have your games and maybe a controller you can plug them in to the device hook it up to the computer and enjoy some nostalgic fun via your computer monitor (which probably has a better picture than any TV you used back in the day).  Well  either way check out the other articles and product pages for yourself.  If you get one and you still have games, let me know...I'm tryin to play!

Check out Tech Crunch for more coverage on this simple but beautiful device.

Heavy D the Overweight Lover Tribute Mix


As I've blogged about before a friend of mine, DJ Dublee, provides streaming DJ Mixes via his website (DJ at your desk for Free).  He usually makes his 12 O'Clock drop mixes relevant to current events or holidays.  Today's Mix, as it should be, is dedicated to the Overweight Lover, Heavy D.  Who some of the younger croud might not know of his music, but those of us that enjoyed hiphop in the late 80's and throughout the 90's we are very familiar with him and enjoyed practically every song he put out or had dealings with.  This is a great loss for HipHop.  Rest in Peace Dwight Myers.
