GFW: Shawn Elliott Stories

Alright, it's been a while since I've gone on a posting spree like this, but here we are. A full day of writing and searching the internet for reference points. 

Above is one of many stories that inspired me to step out of my terrorist cave of an apartment and share a bit of my personality with this small corner of the internet.

I've recently started playing around with audio editing software. Not saying you'll be hearing me regularly do a podcast, but you may hear something interview related in the future. In the mean time enjoy some of the messed up stories that consistently inspire me to tell others about my messed up stories.

Commercial Break: R.I.P. Weng Weng

It seemed like it was yesterday when I was listening to Shawn Elliott wax-poetically on an old GFW podcast about Weng Weng. The biggest little guy. Hopefully this little post finds plenty of his fans. Though he died almost twenty years ago, his powerful little fists and feet have left prints on my heart. 

That and I had a long day at work. I looked back and only seen one set of footprints. Weng Weng carried me.

Game Journalism - Jeff Green of 1up leaves for EA

Jeff & Sponge Bob. So Much Star Power

One of the reasons I started reading 1up and listening to games podcasts was because of the man...the myth...the Jeff Green. As a fan of games and; almost equally games journalism, one of the first articles I read was of a Diablo clone back in the 90's that Jeff Green wrote for the now defunct CGW [Computer Gaming World]. It is actually kind of good to see that he's going on to what I would call 'the even more BIG TIME' with working on the Sims with Electronic Arts.

The GFW podcast will not be the same with ya Jeffy G.
