Hola, GS Homeslices,

I hope everyone's weekend is going smoothly. Mine is moving along nicely. I wish everyone a pleasant Spring Break for 2013.

I'll be visiting relatives in Savannah GA during my Spring Break. It'll be good to visit my nieces for the first time in almost three (3) years. Though my mother's in the hospital, it'll definately be nice to see her again. My brothers and step-Dad, in Port Royal SC (45 minute drive from Savannah), will be a sight for sore eyes as well. Given that I intend to move to California in another year, this visit will be important.

Well, my video blogs are now dabbling in retro gaming subject matter. Not just on the PC front, but also on the handheld front. Given that I still own a DS Lite, the only propietary gaming device I care for anymore, it was only natural.

In this video blog, I reveal that most Gameboy Advance carts don't use backup batteries for game saves. I show viewers the tri-wing screwdriver (or security driver bit) they'll need if a GBA game using a backup battery requires maintenance. I also show the guts of both backup battery using and non-backup battery using GBA carts, just to enlighten folks to the differences.

Also, I'm throwing in some footage from System Shock 2 for PC (GOG, DRM-free version). In this video, I show the early segment of the game. I used FRAPS and skipped alotta the intro stuff, just to avoid the in-game tutorial and cut to the chase.

Well, I gotta bounce. Heading off to intern some more. Then, study for Finals this week.

Y'all Take Care
