Have to update tomorrow, because I took on an extra-long shift at work tomorrow, and I have JUST enough time right now for dinner and sleep. Sorry, folks. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

Damnation.
Jan 3, 2007 | Site News
It's going on 12:30 as I write this, and I have to get up and ready for work at 6am. The update was under way.? Then my wife wanted to check something on GameFAQs. Then the computer crashed, and the update is now lost. All I can do is offer my apologies and ask that...

Just a note, PMO will resume its irregularly-scheduled programming (i.e. updates) tomorrow evening. Thank you for your patience.? Now go have some ice cream. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

And now, for an annual PMO tradition…
Dec 24, 2006 | Uncategorized
...neverminding that PMO hasn't been around for long enough to make any tradition annual, but I've been doing this for years now, and so now my tradition becomes PMO's. Kick back with a mug of warm cocoa and settle in as we regale in a little tale by the Wordsmith...

Over 10,000 Served
Dec 20, 2006 | Site News
Woo-ha, today is a banner day for the short life of PMO, as we reached over 10,000 unique visitors at 2:35 this morning. So, wonder what the next big milestone is. If I can figure out details, maybe I'll run some sort of contest, if I can. Thanks to everyone for...

A Goombah With A View
Dec 20, 2006 | Comic Books/Cartoons, Toys, Video Games
...they misspelled "Goomba." Anyway, the new issue of Toyfare has come out, and as if by some psychic granting of my wishes, the newest Twisted Toyfare Theater sports a story with a theme of which I am very fond. Enjoy! Get this, plus a feature on the return of...

No update tonight, I'm afraid, as I have to get up for work in a little over 6 hours. Naturally, double-time post tomorrow. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

VG Characters and You
Dec 14, 2006 | Site News
So, I've got this idea for a piece I may or may not do on PMO. Basically, it looks at the influence some video game characters might have had on you as a person, be it inspiring you, motivating you, or simply comforting you. Mind, I do specifically mean characters,...

The PMO 2006 Gift Guide
Dec 13, 2006 | Site News
Inspired by Matt's list over at Press The Buttons, I too elected to put together my own PMO 2006 Gift Guide. I'd have had it up sooner, but then I got a job, so that and the regular site updates helped keep me away. Truth is, the items were pretty much done, I just...

Pauly Shore in “In the South Now”
Dec 12, 2006 | Commentary
So found out from AF's thenekomancer that Pauly Shore is the latest celebrity to run afoul of the public. He was doing a stand-up routine, and the crowd was being a bit unruly, and one guy got up on stage, and after being egged-on by the audience, proceeded to punch...

Wii Launch
Dec 12, 2006 | Site News
So back in November, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Nintendo's Wii launch in New York City. And my initial plan was to do a report of the trip upon my return. But then, things happened, and I found myself employed with full-time work again, and the piece...

Weekend Waste
Dec 10, 2006 | Uncategorized
Sorry folks, no Weekend Wrap-Up today, got work too early in the 'morrow, so I'm going to lump in the collective Sat/Sun news with whatever we have on Monday.? No problem, as I have Tuesday off.? w00t and a half. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

Retronauts vs. Virtual Console
Dec 10, 2006 | Video Games
Meant to bring this up yesterday, but it somehow fell off the radar. One part caught my eye in particular: "Somebody coming in with absolutely no knowledge of Nintendo's back catalogue would look at the Virtual Console lineup and deduce that Nintendo was a game...

Always PS3
Dec 9, 2006 | Commentary
Just poured a small glass of Coke, as I'm waiting for my Crystal Light to chill. On the label, it boasts a chance of winning a PS3. "1 prize a day." It makes me wonder how many of the 400K went into contests like this. Or maybe just one of the prizes is a PS3, and...

Yeah, so I'm getting really bad at updating this all of a sudden. Fact is, I'm finally employed as of today, and so my schedule isn't what it's been since I began doing this, so I need to make some adjustments, and adjustments will be made, rest assured. Just at the...

Irritation
Nov 23, 2006 | Commentary
Two small bits of game-related bitching. 1) Why is it that in Animal Crossing for the GameCube, it seems that having a bed doesn't really matter at all, but in Animal Crossing: Wild World, every single person who visits makes a point to bitch that you don't have a...

Hol-Wii Crap…
Nov 22, 2006 | Site News
Man, I'm going to have my work cut out for me tomorrow on PMO. I'd do it tonight, but my follow-up interview is tomorrow morning, and I'd rather not jeopardize it. I love the updating thing, but it doesn't pay the bills (unless a LOT of people start clicking Google...

Wiikend in NYC
Nov 17, 2006 | Site News
So, leaving in about an hour or so to go to NYC for the weekend. As a result, PMO is not going to see very much in the way of updates. However, I have arranged for Delta to try to squeeze in at least one update, so hopefully that will help bridge the gap until I...

Blue Streak, Stumbles By…
Nov 17, 2006 | Uncategorized
Yikes. It sounds like the new Sonic the Hedgehog game is just about the worst thing ever, even though the story sounds pretty cool. Between this and Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, things are looking grim for Ol' Blue. Hope may only now lie in the hands of Sonic Rivals or...

All About PMO
Nov 14, 2006 | Site News
Or so the section says. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what sorts of stuff to fill that part of my page with. I definitely plan to keep my "Special Thanks" part, but the rest... I have to wonder if maybe some sort of FAQ or something would be in order. Be more like a...
