FLYMF Alum Dale Dobson has started a new blog, “Gaming After 40.” In his first post, he lays out his motivation:

I’m starting this blog to reminisce, speculate and celebrate the history, future and present state of the odd, wonderful fusion of art and technology that videogames present. I hope younger readers will find interesting retro trivia and history here, and older gamers will hear a sympathetic voice as we get our collective butts kicked online. I’m going to talk about what I’m playing, what I’ve played, what’s exciting and new, and what has stood the test of time. Probably at excessive length, but that’s why it’s a blog and not a newspaper column.

The blog is just up-and-running, but the posts are compelling and thoughtful so far. If you’re into video games at all, or if you once were and drifted away, I recommend reading it.

Dale’s stories “Toontown Personals” and “Educational Board Games” were published in FLYMF’s Greatest Hits. Other stories he contributed to FLYMF include “Short-Lived Retail Franchises,” “Evil Forces Surround Me,” “If Desserts Were Sold Via Multilayer Marketing,” “Abandoned Muppet Film Projects,” and “Abbott and Costello Meet Larry David.”
