Featured review
Anyone that knows anything about video games already knows about this story. Heck, I even watched the awful Video Game Nerd movie portraying this. What made the film for me was the personal side that a lot of people brought it the table. Howard Scott Warshaw's reaction when they found the cartridges was genuine, especially for a man that comes off as incredibly sure of himself. I can only assume a 30-year regret came to pass, especially when he was surrounded by so many people.
These little slice of life documentaries honestly bring little to the table, but not everything can be Titicut Follies. I found it incredibly interesting that the top waste management guy in Alamogordo put so much time into this. So kudos to him. Plus last thing...why does Alamogordo seemingly have so many darn politicians? 🤣🤣🤣
