Original NES

Posted on March 28, 2022June 13, 2022 by Joe Del Rocco

I recently bought an original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and hooked it up for my son and his friends to experience 80s gaming. I sold my original NES in the 90s but still had various cartridge games stashed away. He found them and wanted to play them as I did. Note this is an original…

My FFXIV WHM

Posted on September 1, 2019July 18, 2021 by Joe Del Rocco

— Update 07/2021: I wasn’t aware until recently of the Japanese show (Final Fantasy XIV: Dad of Light) and movie (Brave Father Online: Our Story of Final Fantasy XIV) that featured FFXIV as a plot vehicle. Pretty cool idea and very enjoyable for FFXIV fans. — As I wind down another 4 month mini-addiction of…

Halloween 2017: FF WHM

Posted on October 31, 2017July 19, 2021 by Joe Del Rocco

For Halloween this year, I donned a Final Fantasy White Mage costume, one that I crafted myself. FYI a WHM looks like this. As a longtime fan of the series, and devout WHM, this was something I’ve always wanted to do. The colored water bottles are potions, and the feathers are phoenix downs.   My…

Composing to FFT

Posted on February 28, 2017July 19, 2021 by Joe Del Rocco

I’m currently composing music for a new tactics game that my friends are working on. And because the team doesn’t have any visuals for me yet, I’m actually composing to Final Fantasy Tactics! As a huge fan, this is heavenly. I’m no Hitoshi Sakimoto, but I’m having a hell of a lot of fun!
