I have absolutely no recollection as to how I acquired 8-Bit Commando. I assume it must have been through one of the Humble/Indie/Mega/Ultra bundles which have become so popular. I’m a sucker for a good bundle, especially if it supports indie developers. That’s also why I installed Desura. While I think Steam’s Green-Light program is great, sometimes it allows great games to slip through due to virtual popularity contests. At any rate, I went in knowing nothing about this game, save for the icon design and the title. The icon looks a lot like Contra. The title hints it could be a Contra clone as well. I assumed that 8-Bit Commando (being a Contra clone) would be punishingly difficult. I was half right.

With my Steam game list now creeping past the 800 mark, I’ve decided that it’s time to put my mouth where my money is and put this huge collection of games to use. I’m going to review every one of my Steam and Desura games in chronological order, starting at the first steam game to be released all the way to games I picked up in the 2013 summer sale last week. I’ll not leave out any wart-covered toads, nor any big-name blockbuster releases. Everything gets reviewed, in order.

As soon as I saw Timeline.JS I knew what had to be done. I had to take my existing Impress.JS resume, and make a Timeline.JS version. It’s actually quite simple. You just copy this Google spreadsheet template, and fill in your data. The JS generates the timeline from that. You can see the spreadsheet I used to generate the timeline here.

Last week at the thrift shop I had an amazing find. A “practically new” AlphaSmart digital typewriter for 3$, untested. It was in great condition, so I had to take a chance. I got more, way more, than I bargained for.
