I figure in this thread we can talk about all the different seasons of American Gladiator, especially since the series is back! Any who did you ever watch this show or are you currently watching the new season? I used to watched the original series when I was super young in the early 90's, then they revived the series in 2008 and I watched that as well. I watched the third episode of the new season earlier and I loved it so I think I'm going to watch this new season too. It's currently on Prime…

I wanted to let everyone know that I wrote a new article not too long ago. It's an opinion piece about consoles and why I believe future consoles going completely digital is not a good thing. You can read it here:

I tried getting Analytics setup for Thee Zone but I always ran into issues... I should look into getting it setup again. I need to setup cloudflare as well!

[…] Oh man the cut off on old tvs was annoying! I didn't have a computer hooked up to old CRTs but some of my game consoles couldn't be displayed properly on some of the CRTs I had when I was a kid in the 90's/00's. My parents got my sister and I a old tv from the early 80's and the HUD in some of the games I would play on my genesis would be cut off. Or I couldn't see enemies or obstacles that could hurt me in other games because of the cut off. […] LMAO dang cat! I'm slowly getting used to…

[…] I used a tv as my monitor a few years back as my cat broke my laptop screen, lmao. The screen was a bit too large, and I didn't like it too much. I ended up getting used to it, though, lmao!

I do have my site connected to Google search console. I check it about once a week. It's awesome to see what keywords are driving traffic to VPL. I'm quite surprised to see what keywords are driving in new users. Especially ones that aren't exactly related to my main niche and are from the general chat board, lol. But, we get a lot of traffic from the main keywords. I also use Cloudflare and Google Analytics.

I definitely don’t miss those days. I used to run a lot of TVs as monitors too, and the experience could swing wildly depending on the model. If the TV had a proper PC or Game mode, it made a huge difference; suddenly, the cut‑off edges were gone, the weird processing was disabled, and everything actually felt usable. But on older TVs, half the “fun” was just the battle to get things to line up and look right. Overscan, blurry text, random sharpening you couldn’t turn off… it was always…
