Whoops, I Dropped the Blaugust Ball

I'm skipping "Creator Appreciation Week" here for "Staying Motivated Week." There are no rules anyway, you can't stop me. Apparently I dropped the balloon Blaugust and have missed days. Which is fine, really. I mean it's 100% fine. I never intended to "post every day" to start with, it just sort of, started happening. My first "miss" was Saturday, which was a "What I've been playing" post. These are basically the only posts I can't pre write, and I was busy Saturday and tired, so I just, didn't. Plus it was just, "More Overwatch and Sky." My wife and daughter…

My Gaming Journey – Part 2 – 16bit Era and the Game Boy

The natural progression from the NES of course was right into the SNES.  I think the SNES may still be my favorite console, mostly for the graphics.  There is such a perfect simplicity to the sprits of the SNES.  It was just enough power and memory to make larger complex titles, but not overly complicate them.  I enjoy modern pixel graphics games, but they are always much higher resolution with so many more colors.  It's just not the same.  After the SNES, consoles became much more about polygons and 3D graphics. In case you didn't catch it, I had a…

Who Am I, What is Lameazoid?

Part of Blaugust involves some, optional prompts, and one is an introduction post. This is one I have done before many times and it's probably mostly all there on the About page linked above. But I'll recap a bit here for those just joining in. Welcome to Lameazoid, my first blog that I keep dragging along behind me. When it began life on Geocities it was The Chaos Zone but I did a sort of rebrand when I moved to Livejournal in the early 2000s. It's technically all the same.blog, though I have purg d and restored content on it…

My Gaming Journey – Part 1 – 8-Bit Era

Last year when I did Blaugust over on [BI], I dis a series of posts about my history of computer use.  I wasn't really going to try to go all "hardcore" at posting this year, but I decided it might be fun to try to parallel that series a bit with a history of my Video Game memories. Also, I have no idea if these are all 8-bit systems, it's just an easy way to segment things, don't @ me. Like my computer use, I've played video games, essentially my entire life.  I've played a lot of games.  My god…

Welcome to Blaugust 2024

Welcome to Blaugust.  A sort of, celebration of blogging, created by bloggers, and set during the month of August.  I first participated last year on Blogging Intensifies, I set a goal to blog daily over there, and I accomplished that goal.  It was, a little grueling to be honest.  this year, I'm participating here, on Lameazoid.com.  And I have no plan or real intention to post daily. The main reason for switching which of my two blogs I am using is well, frankly, a lot of the other Blaugust Blogs seem to be gamer style blogs, so Lameazoid just, fits…
