Some of you know that in my basement I have a bar sign of the Goonies logo. They look like neon signs but are actually top-lighted plexi that appears to be neon when lit. They’re very cool. It’s from Hong Kong and there is a little company over there that sells them on ebay for $3.99 plus $29.99 shipping. I think they’re worth the $35.00.
Check the Happy Sign Store on ebay! They have everything from Mario Brothers to X-Files.
I saw the Mario one and thought it an appropriate post to land here.
Despite the big titles that you see on store shelves everywhere, there is still a huge universe of little independent titles that you can find to play that can keep anyone occupied for years. The Independent Gaming Source is the best place I’ve found for keeping up with the scene. Where else are you going to find coverage of Duck Doom Deluxe (A surprisingly entertaining meld of Duck Hunt and Doom) or an entire week of reviews of weird little SHMUPs.
I broke down, and invested in Battlefield 2 today. I’m looking forward to trying some of the Naval/Air maps (of course, I’ll share my impressions as they happen). Has anyone else picked this up? If so, catch me online:

For a pickup game.
Far Cry is one of my favorite FPS games. It has incredible graphics, a truly encompassing environment, and intelligent AI. It even has “CryVision” which is sorta like a thermal vision. This was released several years ago and can now be found in your bargin bin for about $20 (which I highly recommend you pick up if you haven’t already).
I have been rather depressed by the lack of mods for it though, most are still in “production” stages or alpha releases. Well I have found something to give me my fix. Far Cry: Instincts. That is right, Jack Carver is at it again. This time he is better, stronger, faster, and more powerful.
I can’t wait.
