Updates on Forum and Todays Posts

Been working pretty hard on the forum the past couple days. It's almost ready for users; it just needs a little more touch up work to make it look good. I'll post back here within the next couple days and let you know when it's up and running.

New posts will be ready tonight. I'm hoping to get them posted before I work today at 5:30, but if not they will be posted around 10:00. The album this week is pretty underground in Japan, and sort of obscure overall, but it's definitely one of my favorites. This weeks game is a forgotten classic by Konami on the Sega Genesis. Not many of my friends have ever heard of this one, but it's a gem. Obscure title and concept, but great addicting gameplay. I'll give you a hint...old horror flicks...

That's all I've got for you! Be sure to look out for those reviews tonight.

Peace...OUT!!

Shuffle Sunday has been posted! Forum is in the works!

Hello all! Just got done posting this week's Shuffle Sunday on Record Reviews. Bonnie Pink's "Last Kiss" this week. Plus, I've started putting together the forum for this site, and hopefully it will be up and running by the end of this week. I'll make sure to post when the forum will be accessible and such, so that you can start posting to your hearts content.

I also just want to say that I really appreciate any of you who swing by and check out the site every week, it really means a lot. I hope you all will enjoy the forum once it's all put together.

With that I leave you with Shuffle Sunday!

My Thursday and Friday...and finally Saturday

Here's a little tale about my last couple days...

Thursday: Energy company shut off the power in my house (miscommunication on address switching). Was unable to get onto the Internet.

Friday: Power was turned back on but not accessible, since I didn't get home from work and a wedding reception until 11:30 PM.

Saturday: Needed to leave the house for a couple hours in the morning while our landlord gassed the house to get rid of the bats that were living in our walls and ceilings. Came back home around noon thirty.

Nevertheless, the promised Contra review has finally been posted! I apologize profusely for the delay. I hope you enjoy it. Check it out.

New Record Review! Retro Review Coming Soon!

Hey all! Just posted a new record review on Rodey's Record Reviews about 3 hours ago. To continue Japanese artist month, this week's review is the album Happy Bivouac by Japanese alternative rock band, The Pillows. Check it out!

The new retro review will be a little delayed and won't be posted until tomorrow night. The game is by fan request this week, and I'll let you know, it's a classic. The game I'll be reviewing is Contra on the NES. So look out for it early tomorrow night!

Announcements! (Changes, Additions and So Forth)

Hey all of you few souls who have tread into my weekly reviews. I'm just posting here to surface some things that will be happening with my site over the next two weeks or so.

From now on, Rodey's Reviews will be updated weekly along with my separate review sites (Record and Retro), just to summarize what's been posted/reviewed on the sites, giving links to them respectively. I'll also be using this main page as a way of communicating things outside of my reviews with all of you. This will include anything from things I've been thinking about concerning general media, to questions that I have for you guys concerning your opinions on the aforementioned media.

I will also be putting together a forum for the site, where people can discuss anything they so please concerning music and/or gaming. Another section of the forum will be devoted to review requests and ideas you may have for the site in general. There will also be a garage sale portion of the forum where you can post albums, gaming consoles, video games, etc. that you are selling on sites like Ebay or Amazon.

Also, if you are new to the site or you haven't checked out this month's reviews yet, here's a little run down of what's been posted...

June has been dubbed Japanese artist month on Rodey's Record Reviews and so far I've posted two album reviews. The albums that have been reviewed are Uroboros by Dir en Grey and Jealousy by X Japan.

Shuffle Sunday posts on Rodey's Record Reviews have been "Loverock" by Guitar Wolf and "One for the Road" by Tak Matsumoto.

The June posts over at Rodey's Retro Reviews have been Mario Clash on the Nintendo Virtual Boy and Toy Story on the Sega Genesis.

Alright! I know that was a lot for one post, but I just wanted to get everyone caught up with what's going on around here. So keep your eyes open for all the changes that will be going on within the next two weeks and keep checking the updates every Wednesday and Sunday!

New Posts Coming Soon!

Since Monday, I have been moving into my new house in La Crosse, and it has been a lot more work than originally perceived.  Unfortunately the reviews will be slightly delayed this week.

The review will probably be posted some time on Thursday, so be sure to check back tomorrow!
