Posted under People of RFGeneration, RFGen, members, interview, Captain Nintendo

So I decided I would do my first "tie-in" interview. My last one was Tynstar and I had mentioned how Cap'n here was his partner in crime. Cap'n was also the leader of a couple of the many clans I was a member in back in my Halo 2 days. Remember the Drunken Pelicans? What about Guesswho, Mr. Winky, nickm and the rest of the old crew?
Maybe i should have thrown those into the interview instead of as an after thought Wink

Let's get to it Wink

GENERAL
How did you find RFGeneration?
I found RFG because of my best friend (tynstar / Scott)

What made you join?
I really like the community feel, and felt I could contribute.

What made you stay?
Over the years RFG has made huge advances, and the community here is THE BEST

Have you met or personally know any of the other members of the website?
Obviously I know Tynstar, but I also know Jagdiesel. I've met several others who are members here while I attended CGE2K7 (Classic Gaming Expo 2007) Most notably, I remember meeting National Gaming Depot.

Are you an active game collector? If so anything specific?
Well, the last few years have been a bit slow on the collecting side, but yes I am a collector. Specifically, I love NES games. I haven't updated that count in a while, but I am very close to 700 NES games. Of which, I probably have 600 of them CIB.

What's your favorite game or series? Why?
Hmm, my favorite game or series... The easy answer would probably be something like Zelda or Castlevania since I cherished those games when I was a kid. But to be honest, Phantasy Star Online, and Phantasy Star Universe have really captured my interest in the past several years.

As far as why I like this game and series... I like the fact that it's an action RPG, and while it doesn't qualify as an MMORPG it certainly has an MMO feel to it.

What are your passions?
As far as gaming goes, I'd have to say finally completing my CIB NES collection. Other then that, my Son, family and friends.

What do you do outside of RFG?
Well, I work as a facility manager, but my interest outside of RFG and gaming include playing hockey (goalie) and classic Ford Mustangs. I haven't worked on a Mustang in nearly 10 years, but I plan on buying another classic and restoring her.


SPECIFICS
I thought for sure you had finished off your NES collection. Are you still seeking them out or are you taking a hiatus for the time being?
I am always looking for missing pieces, but collecting has taken a back seat to a few things over the years. I will finish it off eventually.

In the same vein as the last question are/where you seeking out any major/minor NES game/hardware variations to your collection?
The 3 Panesian games are probably going to be the hardest pieces to add at this point. However, I'm not sure if I am going for non-licensed games at this time.

Do you still game with your son? If so what is your favorite game to play together? My son loves playing games! I know he loves playing Castle Crashers with me.

How many complete collections(if any) do you have now?(I thought you had NES and VB)
My NES collection and Virtual Boy collections are getting there, but I think realistically I am only going to complete the NES collection.

You mentioned you haven't worked on a classic mustang in 10+ years. I remember you used to own one(that i knew of) what happened to it? Also please brag about how totally bad ass it was Smiley I love classic cars.

Basically, I have owned 8 classic mustangs. I've also bought a few, made a few restorations and sold them for a profit. My 3 favorites of which I owed were 2 1965 Mustangs and 1 1966. The 66 Mustang was my pride and joy, I probably spent 10k on a full restoration of this beauty. Sadly, I was involved in a very bad accident with this car, and it was beyond repair.

The last Mustang I owned was a 1965, and it was a GT. When I got a divorce, I needed to buy an everyday driver in wich my son could safely drive in. And the cost of the divorce forced me to sell the 65 for the cash I needed for a everyday driver.

I'd really like to buy another classic Mustang in the next few years, and get it ready for a full restoration in which my son could help me with. That way I could pass on a love of classic cars and the knowledge of working on cars to him.

I'll try and dig up a few photos of my cars when I get a chance, as I'd like to "show them off" a bit Wink But basically, the 66 was a very clean powerful looking pony. I once had her up to 140 MPH.(I realize now how stupid this was) I still remember feeling the front end of the car getting lighter as I reached 140... And even to this day, I feel like the car was about to lift off and take flight. laugh

GAMING FIRSTS
What was the first game you played and on what system and how old were you?
The first system I played was the Atari 2600. The first game was Combat if I recall correctly. The year was 1978 I believe, and I was 5 years old.

First console owned?
The first console my family owned was the Atari 2600

First game you bought yourself?
The first game I bought myself was Either Mario Bros. or Metroid for the NES.

What made you decide to buy that particular game?
Seeing as I can't remember which game it was in particular, I'll just give a general answer. I'd have to say that at the time, there were just so many great games out there to play... And I just ended up buying something that looked fun.

First game you beat?
I really had to think about this one... I actually believe the first game I beat was Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari 2600.

First time you wanted to destroy something because of a game?
Hmm, I can't recall any specific first times. But I do recall Kid Icarus for the NES making me want to destroy my controller.
Recently, I was a bit upset with a level on Army of Two.



2 things i want to note before I publish this.

1. I couldn't use his real username in the tags because he has an Underscore which is apparently a no-no in the blog tags.

2. The car question was an afterthought and isn't quite a polished nice looking question but it was a cool question with an awesome answer.

Huge thanks Rick. Dig out them pics for us!

Posted under Matt, Awesome

So this guy Matt is pretty awesome. He goes by the name Kimoosabi and almost three years ago got married to me. That was cool. So Matt's really sweet and nice to me. But if you're not me, he'll make fun of you. If he really likes you, he'll REALLY make fun of you. That's just the kind of guy he is. I'd just like to say that he's the super bestest guy ever. He's also Canadian and yay Canadians! Okay, thanks for reading!

Disclaimer: I still have no clue what Froggin Ashbowl is yammering about.

Super Disclaimer: This blog post is suppose to be a silly one and was more of a joke between Matt and I because I had said I was making a review for a game and he said "Do one about me!" so I did and again, Froggin Ashbowl, what the freaky deaky were you talking about?

Posted under Treasure Hunt Chronicles, Treasure, Trophies, Collecting, Deals, Finds, Collecting

It's been a while since the last installment, but for once this year, it's not because of a lack of sales, but because I simply couldn't go to many sales these last few weekends. Last Saturday, I was in Cleveland the entire weekend so I couldn't do any garage saling. I had planned on going to some gaming stores that were only 10 minutes from my hotel, but I had limited Internet connectivity in the hotel and had a tough time getting a map and directions so I wrote down basic instructions on a piece of paper, but it disappeared the morning I was going to go and then I couldn't get back online to get new directions, so I wasn't able to make it. This past Saturday, I spent the first half of Saturday volunteering at our new township park, so I missed the best garage saling times, but did manage to get in a few sales after 1:00, but I didn't find anything. Luckily, I was able to get to the flea market yesterday and found enough stuff to make a worthwhile post.

Hello, and thanks for all the comments on Part 1, 2, and 3.

I contacted the guy again, about a week later, and still no one else had bought any.

So I went back to his house and I bought all that he had left except for 6 games that I already had CIB.











This was my final trip to his house, 63 CIB NES games in all. Most of them so Minty Fresh you could brush your teeth with them. Smiley




Thanks again everyone for the comments on my 3 previous blogs. I have never made a blog before, so this was all new to me.

Posted under Collectors Corner, MGs Collecting Take

 

The Collector's Corner
Edition 1 : Privacy and Protection

This series of articles focuses on the real life tribulations, joys and helpful tips for all
collectors in our shared passion - video games and the hardware that drives them.  


Monster video game collections - they are out there, but so few of them are rarely displayed to the general public.   This is true of most significant compilations, regardless if the passion of said person are video games, stamps, coins or even Barbie Dolls.  There are really two main reasons for this - security and privacy.  These are genuine concerns for any avid collector, especially in today's economic climate.  This is a sad reality, but appropriately pragmatic in nature.  The well known collection displayed above is an exception rather than the norm - but yet he has remained completely anonymous to most everyone. 

I don't classify myself in the class of collectors that I am referring to, but I still nonetheless take the following safeguards.  These are a few items that I would recommend to alleviate the stress in owning a large collection (however you define it).
 

Insure Your
Collection


This seems like a no-brainer, but do not overlook this most important aspect.  Take pictures, catalogue items and keep your insurance company updated.  You will need to provide a value for everything (if you truly want to insure your collection).  This will take some time, but it will be well worth it.  Not doing so might have you underinsured.
 

Be Wise When
Posting Pictures


Eliminate/erase any personal references in the pictures that you do choose to share with the general public.  This includes personal photos of family members, menus, anything that might be in the background that may identify you.  Do not unnecessarily subject yourself - black out/blur completely where appropriate.
 

Be Verified via an
Alternative
Address


Do not use the address of your collection (or your personal home) when making purchases.  You can get verified easily through PayPal without having to reveal this information.  This is completely legit and will in no way harm your reputation as a buyer or seller - you just have to have a safe haven to sign/receive goods and a verifiable payment source.  Do not have things delivered directly to your homeplace of your collection.  This will unknowingly result in the widening of your 'circle of friends', regardless if you think so or not.  Also, make purchases from trusted sources when sharing this info if you must, and only with those whom have as much to lose as you do.
 

Remain
Anonymous


Prudently share information, and with only those you completely trust.  This is of paramount importance.  Ensure that your 'inner' circle is completely trustworthy.  Not doing so will put you at risk.  Make certain that members in your circle of trust are limited to a select few.  Even with this small number, do not trust that their own respective inner circle(s) can be trusted.  Instruct them that this sharing of your collection is privileged for one - not the many (including family). Can they guarantee that none of their personal entourage will spout off at some point about what they saw. This is important to consider when sharing.  I have hurt someone in the past by having to instruct them not to share any info about my collection (modest as it is) with their family simply due to the fact that I was aware they were a bit too loose with their mouth after having a few pops on a Friday night at the local speakeasy.
 


This article is not meant to be a "fear-for-your-collection" piece at all, more of how to take the proper precautions in protecting your investment, both now and in the future.  Trepidation in sharing what one has amassed is natural.  Taking some steps to be able to alleviate this stress will put your mind at ease.  You can share your collection - all of us gamers love seeing it.  Just be wise when doing so.

Hey everyone, over the past month, I have been adding in loads of variations to both the Atari 2600 and NES databases. So far, there have been a handful of people who are aware of these variations and have added them to their collections. I'd like to go ahead and make everyone aware of these variations so that it will make it easier for everyone to update their collections. Here is a list of variation titles to look out for:

Atari 2600
Numbered
Text Label
Picture Label
Rerelease
"Use With Paddle Controllers" Error

NES
5 Screw
3 Screw
3 Screw w/Round Seal
3 Screw w/Oval Seal
Round Seal
Oval Seal

If anyone has any questions regarding these variations, please don't hesitate to PM me. Thanks! Smiley

Posted under Review, Dragon 32

Review: Mined Out, Dragon 32

I know that the older tape based systems don't seem to get much love or attention, but I really enjoy revisiting some of these games. Mined Out is one of the gems from my childhood, I originally played a friends copy - the same friend who donated his Dragon 32 to my collection last year in fact - and I loved the game even then. I don't think I ever really understood it though. The mechanics are pretty straightforward, you have to manoeuvre your character from the bottom of the screen to the top, avoiding the hidden mines along the way. After each move a little message tells you how many mines are adjacent to you, similar to Minesweeper in windows. From there you have to make informed decisions about how to progress, risk it and push forwards, or back track and look for a safer route, with the added danger that you might be caught by the chasing bug which appears after a length of time. Step on a mine at any point and it's instant game over, and you're given the option of starting again from the previous level, although the layout of the mines will have changed. After almost 25 years I finally feel able to tackle the perils of rescuing Bill the Worm.

Progression through the game was fairly easy, reaching level 3 presented no difficulties. There are seven levels to the game in all, of progressing difficulty, usually adding more mines to avoid. Level 4 included a wall with a moving gap half way up the screen which you must pass through, and other levels included 4 question mark boxes which contain bonus points, and sometimes mines. The choice here then is ignore the potential bonuses, or risk it all for higher score? The bonuses do nothing for later levels, they simply add to the final score. On level 7 I got sight of Bill the Worm - he's imprisoned in a walled enclosure in the centre of the screen, and again there's a  minefield to navigate to reach him.

I didn't really have any problems with the game now, and I can't say the challenge is that great, it's amazing what the addition of 25 years experience makes to playing a game. The only times I really had difficulties were getting over-confident with my mine-logic, hitting a mine when I was sure there wasn't one. Back-tracking to the previous level and re-doing it presented no further problems. When the bug appeared for the first time I got myself into a bit of a tangle and managed to head straight for it, instead of away, but that was the last time I made that mistake. All in all the game took me about an hour to complete, which is not exactly great by today's standards, and for something that cost GBP8.00 in 1983 that was a lot of cash, for not much return. I can understand why dad was always so reluctant fund a regular supply of games now, it would have cost him a small fortune.


It's a great little game to while away an hour or so, especially if you try and beat your score. Attempting to shave a couple of moves off levels is good fun, but it doesn't have long term appeal and the sound effects will probably get to you before long.

Posted under RFGeneration, friends, community

Over the years, gaming has gone from a sort of niche hobby to a full-blown, mainstream activity. I seen gaming go from an activity that only a few of my friends growing up did to dorm room gaming to my 1080p, 5.1 audio setup at home. The first community I was a fairly active member of was the GameFAQs forum. Did the collection on IGN, tried out Digital Press forums before finding my way here. I lurked for a while, primarily using only the Collection tools. I finally started posting more and more, and the people here are extremely nice and really my kind of people. Then came the chat.

I jumped in, and as the new guy, I sort of found it difficult to jump in. After 2-3 times (that I could tell), I felt like I was starting to feel as a part of the group. I am now on a first name basis with pretty much everyone in chat. This type of small community is what I need. I grew up in a small town, and that's the sort of vibe I get here. These people are RFGeneration, down to the roots.

I'm very thankful for this place. It's kind of hard for someone like me to put myself out there and jump into conversation, but when I did, I wish I would have sooner. I plan on sticking around for a long time and I really hope that the community grows while keeping the roots of the small site. I consider all of you my friends and hope to meet many more of you along the way.

Thank you.

Posted under Glitches, Super, Mario, Bros, 1, Nintendo, Entertainment, System, Minus, World, Glitch

Welcome to a world where a game's physics engine doesn't dictate what happens. Welcome to a world where damage means nothing, or everything. A world where random spawns are the norm, where accidents DO happen. Welcome to a world of Glitches. Welcome, to The Glitch Files, where you will encounter some of the strangest, most bizarre, and downright odd glitches of the gaming world. Not only will we show you footage of the glitch, but will give directions on how to exactly preform said glitch for yourself!

Today's special features the Minus 1 World Glitch, from perhaps the most popular game on the planet, Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom in Japan. This glitch, which occurs in World 1-2, takes you to an infinite loop underwater level, and has no real purpose, because the only way to get out is to die and get a game over or reset! Nevertheless, it is still a fun and interesting glitch to preform. More info after the break. Wink

Posted under 21, legal, drinking, lame

My 21st b-day was nothing like how i hoped it would go.
It had decidedly less drinking than i had hoped for and involved much less fun in general.

Midnight(yes it literally started sucking the first minute of the day)
I wasn't very tired and kind of restless so i was kicked out of bed by Aubrey because i kept waking her up.

12:30-1am
Aubrey comes out and tells me to stop leaving the closet light on. Its a pretty much dead florescent so when i want it on it doesn't turn on. When i need it it either doesn't turn on or is so dim its useless.

2-3am
One of the dogs starts whining. I promptly smack its crate and yell at it to shut the fuck up.

6-7:30am
family is all getting ready to go to work/school i wake repeatedly

7:30-8am
Aubrey wakes me up because she was going to make me breakfast. She doesn't know the only breakfast items we have is oatmeal so i know i will not be woken back up since nothing will be cooked.

8:30 am
Rowan slept in late Smiley

9am-1:29pm
Rowan has breakfast. Me and Aubs smoke cigs, rowan plays outside, we watch TV and Heroes after Rowan goes down for a nap.

1:30pm
Electricity gets shut off. For a few hours because somehow the dumbass in the vehicle was unaware we had payed our bill.

2pm
I spent the last half hour smoking, lifting weights, punching our freezer/refrigerator, looking for the phone number to the electric company so i could bitch them out. Rowan is awake now so we get him ready to go to the park.

3ish pm
We make it to the Park after picking up a mutual friend so she could get out of the house.
Rowan stares at kids, doesn't like the swings this time, does like the slides this time and just runs around and discovers things.

4:30ish
we are back at our friends house. She makes hot dogs and mac and cheese for everyone. Yum breakfast/lunch. Butterscotch pudding for dessert.

6PM
We get back home. Rowan is pretty cranky from having lots of action and not so much naptime earlier. I get a card from my grandmother with 20 bucks

7:45-8pm
Rowan goes down for bed a little early. We watch wheel of fortune and Jeopardy.

8-9
I go to the packy and pick up small bottle Grey Goose and a bottle of Mudslide.
Get home and get ready to watch Lost. Mom gets home gives me a cake and 50 bucks.

The rest of the night we watched lost. I had a strong vodka and diet pepsi drink and a shot then i crashed on the couch again since Aubrey had to go to bed early to get up early for work.

Not how i had wished it would go. I did have alot of fun with Rowan but the day was pretty much tainted by the overwhelming sameness of it.

Posted under Sega Mega CD, Game, Room, Collecting

On Monday I was able to get (with the help of my mum) new shelves to put all my Sega games. Originally, my Sega Mega CD games were in a small black box kind of shelf, with my Mega Drive games in a wicker basket. Until now this was kind of awkward, especially getting out the games.

This is the new shelf units and as you can see, there is still room for more games!



Left to Right: Unless I say so all games are CIB, any games are stacked will be listed top to bottom

Above: Lethal Enforcers Box (with innards but no manual), Konami Justifier and you can barely see a CD game case which has my two copies of Lethal Enforcers.

Top:  Sonic Spinball, Sonic 2, Olympic Summer games and Vectorman (cart only), Ecco the Dolphin, Flicky, Gunstar Heroes, Marble Madness, Micro Machines: Turbo Tournament '96, Micro Machines 2 Turbo Tournament (no manual), Rocket Knight Adventures, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic & Knuckles (no manual).

Middle: Dragon's Lair, Keio Flying Squadron, Road Avenger, Microcosm, Sega Classics Arcade Collection, Sensible Soccer, Sol-Feace/Cobra Command, Sonic CD, Soulstar, Starblade, Thunderhawk, Time Gal, Tomcat Alley, The Adventures of Willy Beamish, Fahrenheit, Panic!, Revenge of the Ninja, Sewer Shark, Datel Pro CD-X

Bottom: Sega Master Converter, Tom & Jerry: The Movie, Taz-Mania, Sonic Chaos, Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

My MP3 player is on the floor, on the right side is a folder with all my Demo disks (including the Roadkill soundtrack and the DOS game Novastorm) and my Dancing Stage Dance Mat.

This is my collection as of 29th April 2008

Posted under Site News, Birthday, Contest

You know what? Five years on April 28 we came into being. Five years ago seems like such a long time ago, but it's true. We're really five years old. Are we getting up in age? You tell me.

A lot has changed in those five years, lots for the good, and some for the not so good. Whatever the ups and downs though, the truth is that we're still here and we're still going strong, thanks to people like you. Without you guys we'd be nothing, and for that we're truly grateful.

You know, with our birthday we like to do contests. This year is no different. As for what the contest is... why, it's the PAIN YOURSELF WITH SUBMISSIONS AGAIN CONTEST. We're evil, we really are, and we like to see you work for your spoils. Want to play? Here are the rules:

Submissions, they make the site go round. We just don’t grow if we do not have anyone submit stuff. Funny how that works, and well, we do have one heck of a community that loves to do submissions. Perhaps, with this contest, you’ll be interested in doing submissions as well. Submissions will garner you points, and these how are they are ranked:

   Title Addition: 4 Points
   Variation Addition: 4 Points
   Page Edit*: 2 Points
   Review*: 30 Points
   Overview*: 10 Points
   Image Upload: 15 Points
   Submission Review**: 1 Point
   Blog Post*: 30 Points
   Blog Comment: 1 Point
   Forum Post: 1 Point
   Forum Karma: See Explanation

*Regarding the asterisk: For page edits, it is noticed that you are consistently only adding one field per edit multiple times for a single ID just to up your points, you will be disqualified. Any review or overview completed will count as a page edit as well the points for an overview or review. To get the points for an overview or review you MUST contact me via Personal Message so that I can keep a tally. In addition, the review or overview must be on the actual game / hardware page. A review or overview of poor quality could result in less points than stated being granted. The same statement holds true for blog posts.

Because we want the forum to be a lively place of fun and interesting posts, we're enabling Karma during this contest. Karma rewards members that make good posts and smites those who do not. Your Karma will play a wildcard role in posts. Positive Karma at the end of the contest will increase your point total by a factor, while negative karma will decrease it. The equation used to decide how karma affects your points will be announced at a later date before the end of the contest.

As with any contest, there is fine print. Any submission that you make must adhere to the RF Generation guidelines / policies. We wrote these policies and guidelines for a reason, and well, we’d like everyone to adhere to them. Failure to adhere to the guidelines could result in a disqualification.

Any point reduction or disqualification can be contested. In the event that you wish to contest, you must explain why the reduction or disqualification is unfair. If you win the contest, we’ll restore your greatness, but if you lose, you shall be pelted with figurative rocks and garbage.

**KICKER!  Everyone, except for the directors of this site, is in this contest. There is a catch though for staff members… their final score will be halved. So, that should lead to a lively competition. I think halving their scores is fair, and I hope you do as well. Oh yeah, there is that 1 point for a submission review, that unfortunately only applies to staff members because they are the poor souls who must review your submissions.

What do you win? Well, we’re a poor bunch here at RF Generation, especially since we're on a dedicated box, but we've got a lovely prize for the top winner:

Gaming swag not to exceed $60 and an RF Generation Ringer T.

Also, anyone in the top 5% of points gainers shall get some sort of recognition, to be determined later.


So, won't you get started? The contest starts as of 20 hours ago (midnight last night). When does it end? It ends at MIDNIGHT, JUNE 8th, 2009. (Sunday 12:00AM) So, what are you waiting for? Have your cake and eat it too! Good luck!

Posted under RFG Aside, Gamestop, CONTROVERSY, ha, Subtle Commentary

Gamestop, we all love them and their whole LET'S SELL OPENED GAMES AS NEW thing they like to do. Taking a stance against that policy, a clever eBayer by the name of newyorkrarebooks has put a "Gamestop NEW" copy of Valkyria Chronicles up for sale at $4,995. What's so special about this copy? I'll let the seller exlplain:

Quote
This is extremely rare to find in this state considering most other "new" / "sealed" games don't have the scratches on the disc nor the fingerprint smudges nor the somehow missing instruction manual that this version has.


Kinda funny, isn't it? Well, at least I found it funny.

Also, here's a fun anecdote about Gamestop and Valkyria Chronicles. As you may know, VC was one of the games Gamestop had as part of the recent Gamer Days thing they had. They were selling it new for 30. Initially I was like "BAWWWW IT'S GAMESTOP NEW SCREW THIS". But then I looked over at the used games and saw they had Valkyria Chronicles used for 30 and immediately stopped my whining. I even thanked the friendly Gamestop associate for saving me the hassle of having to open up the game myself.

Originally spotted on Sega's official blog.

Posted under Treasure Hunt, Playstation, Playstation 2, XBox

It's been over a month since my last Treasure Hunt post, though not for lack of searching. It has been the least successful month I've ever had, so bad that I've had to resort to eBay for most of my gaming goodies, although to be fair there has been quite a lot of Dragon 32 software kicking around, so my collection has grown to 78 CIB titles, only another 1100 to go.

I even used the first camping trip of the season to do a little hunting, but again totally failed to find anything.
(Note for non-Europeans: Camping in England doesn't involve campfires, woods, bears or rifles and is normally done in the equivalent of a farmers field, generally including toilet and shower blocks of varying cleanliness, and close to some tourist attraction)

Anyway, this month has netted me the following items:

PS1
P4270003.JPG
Disney's Jungle Book Groove Party, which replaces my Platinum version
Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness
Machine Hunter
Starsweep
Midway Arcade Party Pak

for a total of GBP4.40

P4270002.JPG
Complete in box: G-Con 45 and Multi-tap, for GBP4.99 each

PS2/Xbox
P4270001.JPG

Pitfall: The Lost Expedition
Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon
Galleon
The Simpsons: Hit & Run

We are a community of collectors, gamers and the likes, and some of us enjoy to let the world know what is on our mind. For those members, we have the community blogs, a place where they can publish their thoughts and feelings regarding life, universe, and everything. Some of those members might even choose to write about gaming and collecting! Whatever they write about, you can find it on their blog. You can either see the latest community blog entries in the feed you see to the left, or you can browse for your favorite blog using the menu above. Interested in having your own blog hosted on RF Generation? It's rather simple, first be a registered member, and then click the "My Blog" link that you see in the navigation above. Following those two steps will certainly get you on your way to blogging.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy our entries, rantings, and completely unrelated series of thoughts. We write for you to read, so we certainly hope that you enjoy our material.
