Well, sometime soon after I started the blog, I decided to give it a more permanent home. It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t like <a href=\"http:\/\/posterous.com\">Posterous<\/a>, it&#8217;s just that I felt it needed something more. So now, the blog is housed at WordPress (alongside this one) and is called <a href=\"http:\/\/itsdangeroustogoalone.com\">It&#8217;s Dangerous to Go Alone<\/a>. The name is based on this seminal moment from the very beginning of the <em>Legend of Zelda<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/setebos.fathomthat.org\/nerdflood\/itsdangeroustogoalone.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See? It&#8217;s not only a Nintendo reference, it&#8217;s also a co-op gaming reference. Here&#8217;s a quick round-up of some of the posts I&#8217;ve already hastily pounded out over there:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/itsdangerous.wordpress.com\/2009\/01\/29\/square-enix-sequels-and-remakes\/\">Square Enix: sequels and remakes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/itsdangerous.wordpress.com\/2009\/01\/30\/crystal-bearers-makes-an-odd-but-welcome-appearance\/\">Crystal Bearers makes an odd (but welcome) appearance<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/itsdangerous.wordpress.com\/2009\/01\/31\/its-like-guitar-hero-if-it-was-made-in-1981\/\">It&#8217;s like Guitar Hero if it was made in 1981<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/itsdangerous.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/02\/my-kids-are-co-op-gamers-already\/\">My kids are co-op gamers already<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Obviously stuff you won&#8217;t care about unless you&#8217;re remotely interested in gaming. And even then, you have to care about gaming on <em>Nintendo platforms<\/em>, which I know is a stretch for a lot of people. But it&#8217;s fun to write, and it gives me an outlet for talking about games that doesn&#8217;t take up space here. There&#8217;s also a post there about my boys, along with a picture. Get your kid fix there, I suppose. It also talks a bit about what gaming what like for me when I was a wee little one, cautiously tapping at the tiny, clicking buttons of my NES controller so very many years ago.<\/p>\n<p>I might pop in one of these <em>&#8220;what&#8217;s going on at my OTHER blog&#8221;<\/em> sort of posts every now and again, just to remind those of you that still read this tripe here that there&#8217;s <em>another<\/em> place where I yammer away nonsensically about things that interest me.
