It's been over a year and more to come.


HOLY CRAP!!!

I can’t believe that it’s been over a year since I created this blog.  It doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long, but in reality it all started back in November 2011! 

I was coming home from my brother’s house and I was explaining to my wife how upset I was with my brother for letting his son buy the awful terrible sh*tty Tony Hawk Pro Skater and she was like, “Aaron, my love, you are an exceptional writer and with your absurd amount of video game knowledge, you should develop a blog!”  Ok she didn’t quite phrase it like that, but she did foster the idea.

I’ve made significant strides, both as a writer and gamer, within this year long journey and it’s been a blast sharing it with you all.

Before you start getting nervous…this is not a farewell post! 

What this IS, however, is a pause on new material while I reconfigure my settings.
Apollo’s Gamedom will never die, as video games a passion for me, but I don’t want to limit my writing as a whole either.



So starting today, I’m going to take a few steps back while I begin transforming the Gamedom into something bigger and better.  Video games will still be a main focus, but I will also lend my “absurd knowledge” to the world of sports, movies, entertainment, historical relevancy, literature, and other stuff.

I’m not sure how long this upgrade will take, so until then I will keep you updated with the progress and in the down time I’ll keep Name that Game running as long as I continue to get submissions.  I will also “feature” some older post that you may have been missed.

Once again, THANK YOU to everyone and I look forward to your continued support.

Name that Game...week 2

New to Gamedom is “Name that Game!”  The 1st set of clues will help you figure out the year in which the game dropped and the 2nd set of clues will help you Name that Game!  Good luck and enjoy

  • The Facebook launched and for awhile nothing else mattered…that is until I came out!
  • The Summer Olympics open in Athens, Greece

  • During the Super Bowl halftime performance, Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson birthed the phrase “wardrobe malfunction”

  • Ken Jennings won 74 games and 2.5 million on Jeopardy!

  • The Boston Red Sox broke the “Curse of the Bambino,” and won the World Series, the New England Patriots on the Super Bowl, and Detroit Pistons won the NBA Finals.









Some may argue about whom was really the best game that year, but no one can argue…”Highest selling PS2 game of all time!”
NWA, John Singleton, Boyz in tha Hood, Menace 2 Society, etc were my inspirations to create something bold.
And last but not least…
HOT COFFEE!

If you hadn’t guessed it already, last week’s answer is Pokémon
