Sega Saturn

Today we spent a good majority of the day cleaning our storage space. Most of the stuff we are getting rid of, but we are finding a gem here and there of things we want to keep.

My husband ran across a cache of Sega Saturn games. I had bought a Sega Saturn instead of the Sony PlayStation for 1 game that was suppose to be exclusive to the Saturn. Well, it wasn’t and didn’t come out for the Saturn until 6 or so months when it was promised. I’ve kept the Saturn. In fact, it is on our entertainment center right above the Xbox and just right of the television.

Finding the games and pondering over some of the titles including Warcraft, my husband insightfully says that this makes him want to buy a Saturn. Men can be so oblivious sometimes. I reminded him that in fact we do have a Saturn that is plugged up and ready to play. I have a feeling he’ll be playing Warcraft sometime this weekend on the old school Saturn.

A voice for your video game

I’ve scratched the surface of doing voice work. I’ve done a few voice overs for some local television commercials. It can be a lot of fun. I’d love to do some podcasts or eventually my own video game. I’m definitely sure I do not want to lend my voice to either project.

There are websites where you can find professionals to do voice overs for your multimedia project. The podcast will probably be my first multimedia project. Now I know where I can get some help if I need it.

Wits and Wagers

Wits and Wagers board game combines poker and trivia. It’s a great party game. Up to 21 people can play. Players are asked a series of seven questions. After each question, they guess the answer. Then the answers are placed on the board. Players make their wager on which answer they think is correct or the closet without going over. All answers are a numeric value. If you win the bet, then you win the payout listed on the board, and if it’s your answer your earn extra chips. After the seven rounds, the person or team with the most poker chip value wins the game.

Wits and Wagers is great fun and is a great game for non-gamers. Easy to learn but hard to stop from playing.

Gaming and Job Stress

Way Off Topic 1 Comment »

I use the Payperpost service. I get paid to blog, which is a great thing. It has helped me pay my bills and also have a little spending money. As a new business and with few employees, the job of their employees is not doubt stressful. Video confessionals are now being released of Payperpost employees who are getting a few things off their chest.

The first employee is the lovable Flaming Tamale. If you read the Payperpost blog then you know how witty and funny she can be. In her confessional, the Tamale sounds a very stessed out. Maybe she should play more video games? One of the most stressful periods in my life was made a lot easier thanks to the video games, especially Mortal Kombat. Oh how wonderful it was to come home and have a virtual punching bag. I don’t know if I ever properly thanked my friend who introduced me to Mortal Kombat. Maybe I should send the Tamale a care package of vitamin water and Mortal Kombat. Sort of a Pay it Forward thing.
