Snowflakes? Over here when we're not dodging hurricanes it's still summer pretty much.

I've been drinking good porters and stouts since everyone breaks them out for October. I just started on season 2 of Castlevania and overall it is a good improvement on season 1.

Been a good month so far...and busy. All geared up for Halloween tomorrow, been watching the Walking Dead season 8 on and off all month. I do love this time of year, Thanksgiving and Christmas is right around the corner.

I wasn't planning on doing anything for Halloween, but the head librarian needed an adult volunteer to supervise and help the younger tykes with the pumpkin carving/painting portion of last night's annual Halloween party at the local library, and, since I'm an arts & crafts kind of guy, and I had nothing better to do, I said I'd do it.

Here I am staring at a box of acrylic paint, like it has the secret of life printed on it, shortly before the guests started to arrive. The hair on the top of my head is getting even thinner than I thought . . .

And here are things in full swing. A woman's head is blocking the view, but I was probably scooping pumpkin guts/seeds into a plastic bag.

Just show'em how gaming looked on the MSX Tak, and I'll dust off my Coleco. I can imagine they'll run out screaming like hell, hehe.

Heh, I have a better idea, I put my C64 in the hall and load up Friday The 13th. If the wacky gameplay doesn't chase them away screaming for momma, the graphics and sound will. Yes, kids, this is how survival horror looked like in '85.

Well, I liked the game when it came out to be honest. It wasn't hyped with a massive ads campaign over here like in the UK, the gory advert with the bloody ice hockey goalie mask and the knife (see above, just done with a real mask, knife and movie blood) obviously was too much for gaming mags over here, we only got small versions of it. The hype took its toll when it was released, most people and reviewers didn't like it. Well, it could have been so much more and is full of bugs, most of which are quite hilarious but don't exactly help to make the game more playable.

Still, it's a game I came back to for months on end, there was something in it that sort of drew me in. Hearing the music change to Beethoven's Funeral March and seeing Jason running towards you was kinda exciting. I've completed it a few times which was difficult due to the bugs but really felt like an achievement.

Nice post. You just reminded me when I was a child around 5 I rented Friday the 13th on NES and as bad and unplayable as it was, it scared me when I got to see Jason.

One week in November and it sure would be nice if it was still October.
