It was a night full of “magical musical moments” as Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band played the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, June 14. Starr, now 75 and still fit as a fiddle, brought back loads of memories for the sold-out crowd as he sang his solo hits […]
TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘Wave Race 64’ made an early splash on the N64 that stuck with fans
One of my favorite things about my business is tracking down some great consoles that people are just so fond of. While I am a diehard NES and SNES fan, I also cannot deny the fanfare and devout following the Nintendo 64 has developed over the years. As the last cartridge-based home console for Nintendo, […]

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘California Games’ is commonly overlooked, but reliable summer fun
One of the most appealing things for me as a small business owner, selling these great pieces of video game history, is the fact that the term “hidden gem” really means something different to every gamer out there. I think, most of all, it relates to those pieces of our childhood that maybe weren’t the […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Bright, colorful Turtles can’t save ‘Out of the Shadows’ from being predictably dull
We all know that guy who was in his prime about 10 years ago, was on top of the world and then was just sort of left behind by the normal passage of time, right? Maybe he was the cool guy in high school who played in a band, was a star athlete, or maybe […]

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘Excitebike’ might be simple, but this early Nintendo game is still exciting
June is here and it’s finally starting to feel like it, so what’s a retro game-loving guy like myself to do? Why, look at some games that remind him of spring and summer, of course! You know, those days when he probably should have been outside but was instead enjoying some great games inside to […]
MOVIE REVIEW: It’s not the end of the world – ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ is better than critics say
When I sat down in the theater for this movie, I had mixed feelings. While I loved the last two efforts for this new, rebooted “X-Men” universe, this film made headlines for being so poor. Early reviews panned the film, painting it as a dull effort, one that could end up being a dreaded franchise […]
CONCERT REVIEW: Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo still get ‘All Fired Up’ for stripped down Wilkes-Barre show
Even while sitting on a stool and accompanied by a single acoustic guitar, Pat Benatar has a very powerful voice. The four-time Grammy winner proved it time and again on Friday, May 20 as she and her husband of 34 years, Neil Giraldo, brought the intimate “We Live for Love” tour to the F.M. Kirby […]
