Let's talk about Sappy.

Without him, I would have never found the NES Scene. And his website has the best collection of old NES Scene stuff on the web right now:http://tnca.myrmid.com/scene/

Discuss.

One of my favorite sites from days of yore. I spent an awful lot of time reading all his reviews and features. I liked his down-to-earth approach to the fandom, as opposed to say |tsr who often came off as pedantic. He was a big influence on what NES fan sites could aspire to (for my more serious endeavors) but also - this might sound odd at first - what not to do. I intentionally never did reviews of anything b/c I'd think of sites like his and say to myself "I'm not going to do that as well, as consistently, and certainly not as concisely as Sappy. If I was doing something pseudo-serious, like the Astyanax site, I'd aspire to do it with similar flair and nice clean look. If I was doing something goofy, I'd try NOT to copy what TNCA was already doing far better than most. So I'd wind up with ultra-absurd content to avoid being a poseur (you'll see what I mean once I get around to archiving my other sites). Yes, Sappy is indeed dope.

The best faux-intellectual in scene history. Seriously love him even though his head is so far up his ass he can hear the sounds of his father walking out from his life when he was a lad.

Pretty much it. He hasn't signed up here for this exact post. He thinks he's smarter/better than us. He's kind of a twit.

Kind of?

I always joked that if I had a time machine I'd go back in time and kill Billy Ray Cyrus, so the world wouldn't have Miley Cyrus or Achy-Breaky Heart. well, that's changed. I'd go back in time and kill Sappy so we wouldn't have to deal with you.

I've always liked the TNCA. Very pleasing site to look at and the content was fun.

I've never spoke to sappy personally. I've heard nothing but horror stories. I do like his scene archive though.

These topics are also still fun. There definitely needs to be more of 'em. As a throwback, we should make claw interview someone who's currently active with dumb inane questions just like he did way back when and post the results.

Funny thing about Sappy was I went from never talking to him at all to talking to him a LOT on IRC around 2006-ish, maybe? I remember I was going through divorce with my wife and was living on my own in an apartment at the time and when I wasn't at work or at the bar I was on IRC playing TSB with Sappy and chatting with Sqwirl, Qix, calgone, Pavol, JD, and whoever else came in. He was usually a dick but I remember him actually messaging me on IRC asking how everything was going with my divorce, etc. and not being a dick for once. It was kind of astounding.

But other than that one time, yeah he was a complete fucking asshat. TNCA is good, though.

And of course there is his scene archive which is a treasure trove of old, ridiculous shit. Always good for some nostalgia/laughs.

I post more when I'm really tired, maybe I should quit drinking coffee. :P

Also FM I apologize for not making more of an effort when I was in Philly to grab a cheesesteak. My lady friend wanted to cram a ton of stuff in and we were limited to buses and taxis. I owe you a sandwich

Don't worry about it, haha. If you're ever anywhere near central PA hit me up, I'm always around.

Hell, JD has made the trip from California twice to see me. How fucked up is that? :P
