Over the weekend, my boyfriend was at his parent’s house digging through some boxes of old junk in the basement when he unearthed something that could practically be considered an archaeological discovery by gamer’s standards: the original Power Glove Instruction Manual from 1989!  And in almost perfect condition! As soon as I got over my immediate jealousy [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/retro-blast-the-power-glove-instruction-manual-from-1989/feed/ 1 http://shezcrafti.com/like-8-bit-music-youll-heart-leeni/ http://shezcrafti.com/like-8-bit-music-youll-heart-leeni/#comments Thu, 04 Aug 2011 14:51:56 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=1592
She’s got two Gameboys and a microphone. A girl after my own heart, Leeni is a 26-year old who spent much of her childhood firmly planted in front of the Nintendo.  Influenced by 8-bit artists on MySpace as well as classics like The Beatles and Elias Smith, Leeni’s music is an enjoyable  blend of the [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/like-8-bit-music-youll-heart-leeni/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/nintendo-at-e3-epic-yawn-for-the-most-part/ http://shezcrafti.com/nintendo-at-e3-epic-yawn-for-the-most-part/#comments Tue, 02 Jun 2009 18:39:42 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=349
Following along with Nintendo’s E3 press conference on Twitter, the live reactions were less than enthusiastic.  Well, it’s no wonder with a presenter like this: Does she look excited about Nintendo to you? For the most part, Nintendo’s presentation ambled along like an old woman with a bad hip.  The overall experience was so blah, [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/nintendo-at-e3-epic-yawn-for-the-most-part/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/sony-ps3-sales-slip-not-surprisingly/ http://shezcrafti.com/sony-ps3-sales-slip-not-surprisingly/#comments Fri, 12 Dec 2008 20:10:52 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=109
Today CNN Money reports that sales of Sony’s PS3 have plummeted 19% from last year’s figures and the console is literally “dying on the shelves.”  Meanwhile, Xbox 360’s 2008 sales have improved over 2007 and Nintendo’s Wii continues to be a sellout since its launch. So why am I not surprised? Huge Pricetag When it [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/sony-ps3-sales-slip-not-surprisingly/feed/ 2 http://shezcrafti.com/geeky-things-im-thankful-for/ http://shezcrafti.com/geeky-things-im-thankful-for/#comments Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:09:25 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=8

Gearing up for the long weekend has got me thinking about all the geeky things I’m thankful for. Here’s [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/geeky-things-im-thankful-for/feed/ 0
