Just found a file on my PC called "mylife.jpg" from January 31, 2006:

Okay these are just screenshots of a bunch of adventure games in my Steam Library but I am happy with them. Most of the Sam & Max ones are official ones I made in the last few years, and the Monkey Island ones are 99% fan made from original or restored key art.

Ask Jeeves though.

😕 Two weeks ago I thought it ended perfectly and would have been happy if it was the last ep. Last week I thought it ended perfectly and would have been happy if it was the last ep. This week I was kind of bummed out about all of it and am anxious the next two will be more cameos. I’ve never loved Breaking Bad but I love this show and its cast. Annoyed after six years to have a sudden BB intrusion. It just feels *old*, an unwelcome guest.

Searching for Zak McKracken on Amazon: not even once

Better Call Saul might be my favorite TV show of all time? I hope the last few episodes are good. I’ve never seen a slow burn work so well for this long, but they’ve done it so far.

I’m glad the sequel to Knives Out has a real and separate title, like a mystery novel would, but I feel like they didn’t give “Knives Out 2000” its due consideration.

It’s so weird that the sequel to the Blues Brothers is called “Blues Brothers 2000,” and that it came out in 1998.

I think this standee and the associated giveaway was only distributed to US computer game stores, but we all know it would have killed in Germany where the true Zak-heads reside. (Case in point, this moment in time @Remo and I noticed — in 2003 yes, but can never forget — where a Zak fangame absolutely demolished Gamers Hell's German mirror and the German mirror only.)

Finally scanned in this old Zak McKracken promotional standee. It used to have a pair of actual nose glasses on it, and a bunch of order forms for your own pairs.

If anyone wants that desktop wallpaper for some reason, which I assure you I was not using as ironically as I probably thought I was, here you go.

I apparently can keep traveling back in time. Here's my high school bedroom from 1999, right before I went to college with my brand new PowerMac G3.

And this photo of my computer desk from the same apartment.

Found this photo of my apartment circa December 2004.
