Joe was born in a time of war. A console war. Two electronic titans were locked in a heated battle for the living rooms of America. Which titans, you ask? Well, the Fairchild Channel F and the Atari 2600 of course. You see, Joe is old. So many of his favorite games tend to be on the older side as well.

As awesome as the San Diego Comic Con is, there is one huge drawback to the yearly event. The vast majority of people who want to go to it can’t. Whether it’s time, or money, or a lifetime ban from the state of California which is totally unfair because it was just a big misunderstanding and if the Governor would just listen to me for five minutes I could explain the whole thing…..

Hey, so let me ask you a question. When’s the last time you heard any good news out of Sega? Take your time, I’ll wait…….. Nothing, huh? Don’t worry, it’s cool. I couldn’t think of anything either.
