Keeping portable was tough! Until now…. Right? RIGHT?!
The Game Keeper ad for Game Boy! Keeping portable was tough! UNTIL NOW!
Haha. Gotta love these old retro videogame ads. I mean look at the smile on that kids face! THANKS GAME KEEPER!
Here’s a look at something similar!
In all seriousness, I had something similar to this when I was young with my original Game Boy (which my mom purchased for me alongside amazing games Metroid II: Return of Samus and Zelda: Link’s Awakening) which fit over the screen and acted as both a magnifying glass and a light. I remember it being pretty cool and I liked the magnified view, although sometimes I’d remove it cause the game graphics were sharper without it… I do wish I had this case. It’s pretty neat…. but portable? Meh.
Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is “What Have We Become” from their landmark 1995 album Jesus Freak. This is track #11 of 13.
Such a powerful song that will bring one to tears. A slower piece from a fantastic album.
What Have We Become Song Lyrics
A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride’s a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that he’d been preaching
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretchin’ further
Than his heart would choose to go
Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Don’t worry about others or where you came from
It ain’t what you were, it’s what you have become
Mom and Dad are fightin’
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she’s overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With Christmas bells a-ringing
Little Rosie’d leave them grieving The gift she’d give her family
Would be the pills she’d take
An inconvenient child
She wasn’t worth their while
(repeat choruses 1 and 2)
What about love?
What about God?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?
You know it’s true
He is there for me and you
Doesn’t matter what you do
(repeat chorus 1)
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?
(repeat chorus 2)
Selfish…
With selfish…
Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Everyone of us
Gathered ’round in trust
What have we become?

Now this is easily one of the coolest pieces of art I’ve ever seen. As a HUGE fan of Super Metroid and the Metroid games in general, this piece is absolutely phenomenal! A cave setting is also PERFECT. Absolutely fitting!
Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is Consume Me from their 1998 album Supernatural. This is track #4 of 14.
Consume Me is one of the best songs on the Supernatural album, and was a big hit when this album came out in 1998. It’s a powerful song and a beautiful one at that. This song used to bring me to tears at times. :)
Consume Me Song Lyrics
Lovely traces
I can sense You in everything
The way that You move me
Takes me far away
I seek no escape
I’m dreaming through Your eyes
I am wandering through Your mind
I’m overtaken by the way that You deliver me
I’m transcended
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than here in Heaven
Without You I’m incomplete
It’s hopeless
You consume me, You consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me, You consume me
Wholly devoted
I immerse myself in You
Baptize me in Your love
Cause drowning in the thought of You
Floods my soul
I’m taken by the things You do
God, You know
It doesn’t matter what I lose
I’m Yours
You consume me, You consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me, You consume me
I am in Your hands
Under Your command
Like a puppet on a string
[Lord you know]
I am willing to
Put my faith in You
So before the world I sing
[Consume me]
You consume me, You consume me
Burning flame, through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me [oh, you know that I surrender]
I am consumed, I’m consumed with You
There’s no other way I can fly
It’s You and I, You and I
There’s no other way I can fly
It’s You and I, You and I

Track & Field 8bit NES for real olympic race wallpaper artwork! Look at that lil man run!
I never really played these games as a kid, but I do recall this one girl I used to like who was 8 years old and lived down the street. Her name was “Carolina” and she owned this game along with the Power Pad for NES. Of course, I always played the cooler games like Excitebike, Batman or Contra. Now I feel like I missed out!
I saw a funny comment with a guy saying him and his friends never actually stepped on that mat to play, they simply pounded their fists into it to make the lil olympian run!
If you never played these games, they were (in many ways) the precursor to the Dance Dance Revolution series and it’s mat-based Dance/Music/Rhythm gameplay.
Here’s a video of Track & Field NES gameplay in action.
Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is Time Is from their 1992 album Free At Last. This is track #9 of 17.
Time Is (Ticking Away) from DC Talk’s 1992 album “Free At Last”, in my opinion, marked a glimpse at the future, and at the Rock Band direction that DC Talk would take with their next album. Although “Time Is” has hip-hop elements, it’s a very rocking track that is absolutely awesome sounding, and in many ways feels out of place to the rest of the album (IMHO).
Time Is Ticking Away Song Lyrics
People watching, every life a mystery
Sunny faces, but you know the stories incomplete
Satisfaction, seems a million miles away
So I’m moving to another state of mind
I’m believing there’s no better place or better time
Everyday we live, there’s a chance to give
Every time we speak, there’s a chance for peace
Everyday we live, there’s a chance
Little sister, put aside your fear and breath
In the secret, do you hear the voice of heaven (sayin’)
Come together, hope is stronger than it seems
Where your standing there’s no running out on love
Only human, but you’ve set your eyes on the things above
Everyday we live, there’s a chance to give
Every time we speak, there’s a chance for peace
Everyday we live, there’s a chance
A chance for you, a chance for me
A chance to serve, in a time of need
A chance to live, a chance to tell
A chance to lose yourself (for somebody else)
