Battlefield 1942

Well, after hearing my brother-in-law was a hardcore Battlefield 1942 player still, I decided to pick it up so he could experience my wrath. I also pulled in a few friends (Ken and Doug). I finally got it installed and even played a quick round this afternoon to get used to the controls. So – […]

Jappler Recommends: McDonalds' Online Monopoly Game

If there is one thing I absolutely love about McDonalds (besides their superior Coke mixture) I love their Monopoly game. I even dreamt about the game a few nights ago that I pulled off Park Place and Boardwalk from the same Coke…and won $246. With that said – the excitement of pulling off the little […]

back playing socom ii.

It has been at least a year – probably 2 since I stopped playing SoCom II but a few weeks Doug started playing again and got me interested again. I have to say, playing it on my new TV which is almost twice the size of my old TV is definitely nice. It is equally […]

Random Cool Web Findings

I wanted to share some interesting recent web finds: Zamzar. Convert your files without downloading any software. Yahoo! Food. Recipes, restaurants, videos…basically the Food Network done Yahoo! style. Super Mario Brothers Synthesizer. Everyone who played Mario will at least get a kick out of hearing some of the great sounds again. PDF Pad. Downloadable calendars, […]

Road To Respect (PS2 Sopranos game)

I do not have much time to play games anymore, but I am very excited to buy Sopranos Road to Respect when it comes out on November 7, 2006. I happened to catch the “making of” show on HBO this past weekend and it looks like the developers have done a great job with the […]

Oregon Trail Goodness

Oregon Trail is one of my favorite games of all times. As I was watching RocketBoom on Monday (brought to me by my TiVo), I had to laugh when I saw Amanda’s shirt “You have died of dysentery” because I absolutely loved it. As a die hard fan, who still plugs in my Apple IIgs […]

Quake 4 for Mac, SoCom for PSP

Today was an exciting day! I do not think I have ever spent as much time with a computer game, as I did with Quake III Arena. So, no surprise when I found out Quake 4 Invasion was announced for the Mac, I got excited. Now the question is…will this push me to buy a […]

That Time of Year

Well, I have one last weekend before the madness begins. The Penn State fight song and other Blue Band classics will be heard blasting from my office and iPod. My priorities shift…golf on Saturdays will take a back seat to college football. I, of course, love Penn State football and Joe Paterno, but living where […]

Oregon Trail

Not too many people appreciate my computer collection…and fewer even give me the opportunity to show them what I really have. Tonight was a rare exception. A friend and I were hanging out in my “office” and she looked over at my Apple II GS and asked me if I remembered playing Oregon Trail. I […]

Old Fun Technology

I love technology, both new and old. When my friend Ken was visiting last week, we went to an awesome exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry: Game On. The exhibit featured a lot of my favorite childhood games (mostly console) and made me think about all the cool “tech” toys I had as […]

The Rubik’s Cube

I have a friend that has been in the hospital for over a week now, and for fun her mother decided it might be nice to bring in some games, etc to play with as we wait in the waiting room. Well, two Saturdays ago, I decided it was time for me to finish something […]
