Out of the blue, memories of playing Thexder pop into my head.

No Atari or Nintendo at my house.

    Better tag Paul V. for mecha.

    Ah Thexder, the first game I absolutely sucked at.  But not the last!

    I've never heard of this. Probably because there was never a PC at my house.

    But the mecha looks like a clunky ripoff of a Valkyrie from Macross.

    That's because it was, Paul V.. I liked it because it was like Jetfire from Transformers.

    Oddly enough, I've heard of FIRE HAWK.

    They were both hard, or I was terrible. Thexder was one of my first games.

    I remember this as the game where you turned into an airplane and crashed.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them.

Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
