The Future of PlayStation [REPLAY]
When Sony officially announced the PlayStation 4, all I had to say in reaction was: Dang it, Sony; just shut up and take my money!
The 2012 GameStop EXPO, from the Show Floor to DANCING ZOMBIES!
Back on Wednesday, August 29th, I was in attendance (with VIP access, because I “rolls” like that) at the first-ever, open-to-the-public GameStop PowerUp Rewards EXPO at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in my hometown of San Antonio, Texas, which marked MY VERY FIRST GAME CONVENTION EVER!!

Land Heritage Institute’s Fundraiser at The Old Texas Star Inn
This past Thursday evening, I had the pleasure of being invited to (and attending) a benefit for the local Land Heritage Institute (LHI) of San Antonio, Texas. The LHI, founded in 2002, is a non-profit organization that is based upon 1,200 acres of open space that is being developed as a living land museum on the far (and I mean FAR) south side of San Antonio, immediately across the Medina River from the Toyota Manufacturing Plant. I was invited by Mark Oppelt, the President of the LHI Executive Committee and my former boss over at O’Neill Conrad Oppelt Architects. Read the rest of this entry
The ARTSLAM! 8-BIT ARCADE! (LEVEL 2) Show was a BLAST!
This past Saturday, March 31, I was able to attend the 8-BIT ARCADE! (LEVEL 2) event at the White Rabbit in San Antonio, hosted by ARTSLAM! San Antonio, and sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon and Montana. The premise for the event is to bring back the memories of childhood from going to the arcade, spending quarters upon quarters of our allowance money (or cash from our parents), learning team-building strategies from classic arcade co-op games like “The Simpsons,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time,” or “X-Men” with friends and complete strangers. Man, those were the days; too bad arcades (on a large scale) are pretty much dead in America (and NO, Dave & Busters does NOT count).
