Unfortunately, anything into/out of Canada for me needs to go through customs.
I grew up about a 2 hour drive fron Kingston, ON (on the US side) so getting to Ontario growing up was easy (Niagara Falls under 3 hours too.) Now, Canada is 5+ hours away and QC and NB are the two closest provinces.

I hear you man. I got my SNES version 2 modded from him and will do likewise for my NES US version too. Allow for RGB output.

I once defeated Link to the Past with 0 deaths, 0 saves. It was glorious. Right up there with 100% on San Andreas and 1 quarter Double Dragon victories.
Next time my son is taking a big draw in a game at a big moment, I’m telling him to growl that to the opposing centre.

I think if you one day find yourself interviewed on a news program where you are referred to as a "semi-pro Tetris player", you'd best prepare yourself for an endless line of ladies at your door.

Holy crap. Totally forgot I had this. Based on the Sega Naomi 2 arcade architecture and joint venture with Nintendo named Triforce.
I even have the stickers to add to the controller board.
At that time my plan was to build an arcade cabinet.

Such a good game.
Kind of a random additional comment, but if all goes according to plan, I’ll be releasing my first commercial video game this fall! Given I only work on it in my spare time, a lot will depend on how busy my work life is this year.
Congrats and good luck.
I’ve released my own game lately. It’s called “Try Putting on Your Socks Without Sitting/Falling Down”.
It’s very challenging, and some days I win and sometimes I lose but the outcome is always in question and my wife enjoys watching, which tells me it has real spectator potential…..
Thank you! I’m excited. Early play testing feedback has been pretty good so far, though I know I need to expand the test group soon! It’s not the smartest thing but I’ve actually been developing 2 games simultaneously so I had to pick one to focus on in 2024. I think I should hopefully be able to release the second in fall 2025.

Too much gaming talk, back to important stuff. I was looking for something at the LCBO yesterday and happened to see this on the shelf. I'd never tried the cask strength stuff but I've read about it lately, I like Laphroaig so on an impulse, I bought a bottle even though it was damn pricey. I tried some last night, holy smokes what a peat bomb. I'm honestly not ever sure I like it, perhaps my palate isn't sophisticated enough or maybe it's just too peaty but I guess I'll have to try it a couple more times to decide for sure. I don't normally add water to scotch but for this stuff it's a must, completely changes the taste and opens it up. This is batch 16, in batch 15 there are apparently instructions on the package to add double the amount of water to the scotch, but for this batch is says to add just a little bit. An interesting experiment anyway, next time I try it I will probably add more water than I did. If I had to say right now, I'd say I won't be buying any more of Laphroaig Cask Strength as I'd rather just by Lagavulin (8 or 16) but who knows. It's different anyway from any scotch I've tried before, VERY different!!
