The year is 2014. Gatorbox is part of the way through its third season on the air, a season rife with production delays and problems as I was in a prolonged process of moving from Hollywood Park, TX to Alamo Heights, TX and was essentially maintaining two apartments because I was itching to move out of the former but for credit score reasons did...

A lot of things happened these past 12 months, some good and some bad, and they all shaped the direction this channel took. The biggest change was me leaving the part-time job I had in order to work a full-time schedule for not just more hours per week bu...

This is kind of a weird post because technically this is something that belongs on the Patreon for BattleBots Update, the project I started in 2015 that followed the reboot of the BattleBots TV series. The Patreon associated with BBU was voluntarily closed down a few years ago when the slow erosion of diminishing returns killed off most of the g...

Over Memorial Day weekend Tuna Boat Tony swung by for a visit and we played through the entirety of a romhack of Pokemon Red known as "Cock Version". It's a basic hack that replaces most of the NPC dialog with really explicit and offensive things. The creator wrote some truly outrageous things and there are several moments where Tony and I just ...

Before there was Gatorbox... there was RFSHQ. Well, there actually were a lot of things "before Gatorbox" but this is one of them.

The series, named...

Since the turn of the millennium I've lived my life in front of a camera. Starting in the year 2000/2001 my friends and I put together a video series called "Code: BS".

I still want to do these videos, I just haven't been able to organize things and film one. Also, it doesn't help that picking hasn't been very good as of late. There's a lot of esoteric junk in this video but not much in the games category sadly, but still worth a look if only for the curiosities.
