The "Mini Nes" Makes It Easy to Introduce Your Kids to Retro Gaming
I've tried introducing my own kids to retro gaming, with only a shred of success. If I can get them interested in checking out a title, there's usually some extraneous problem like the cartridge not reading, or not being able to find the game I was talking about in the first place.

'Pokemon Go' Not Friendly for Rural Gamers
I admit it - I was not too excited for Pokemon GO when I heard about Niantic, Inc. working on the game. It's not that I don't think Niantic is a cool company, just the opposite. They're doing great things and trying to get people out into the world to explore where they live. Unfortunately, where you live has a great deal to do with how their games play out. I played Ingress for awhile, and LOVED it. That is, until I was actually having to schedule when to make the drive to town to play the game.
