Okay,

As I was saying, I recently had all four of my wisdom teeth removed and due to some complications, was forced to undergo a second oral surgery and have been in considerable pain since then.  I've been out of commission for a while and it'll be a few days still before I'm in fighting trim.  I've been held together with Vicodin and Motrin, so I definitely haven't been up to reviewing anything lately.

I would like to continue reviewing games, however.  I know a lot of you have had suggestions, and I plan to follow as many of them as I can.  To answer some of your questions, I'm not exclusively devoted to reviewing old NES games, and indeed, I would like to review other games from other consoles.  The NES is simply the easiest one I've found to acquire video capture footage from because I have a handy emulator as well as the console itself.

I'm not sure what other ways exist to capture footage from other consoles, so I'm in a bit of a fix there.  I don't know if emulators for other consoles have decent video capture capabilities (and if you know of any, please let me know).  I imagine the easiest way is to find a video card for my computer with video inputs and simply hook the console itself to my computer.  Unfortunately, I don't have such a video card.  If you know of any other ways to capture video for other consoles in a relatively easy and inexpensive (read: free) way, please e-mail me with your solutions.  The freeware video capture program I found for my computer works, but it slows my system to a crawl so whatever video it captures is useless.

I will also accept donations, payable at my website (http://www.spoonyexperiment.com) via the PayPal donation box at the bottom of the page.  These donations will go exclusively to the improvement of the reviews through the purchase of better video editing software and hardware, as well as the legal purchase of the games I review if it's necessary.
