Greetings new readers from TypePad!  Press The Buttons is today's TypePad Featured Weblog, so allow me to welcome all of you finding your way over here from their weblog of featured sites or from the front page of TypePad.com itself.  There are more than two years worth of entries in the archive, so it can seem a bit intimidating at first.  Allow me recommend some of my "greatest hits" if you want a crash course in Press The Buttonsing.  Firstly, I just got back from attending E3 2007 in Santa Monica.  The past week's worth of entries is packed with goodies from that trip, plus there's a whole photo album full of my adventures.  Then there are the two celebration posts from when PTB crossed the 500 and 1,000 entry marks.  When it comes to categories, my favorite articles are from the Secret Origins series in which I share the stories behind tracking down and purchasing some of my most beloved games over the years, everything from the Nintendo Entertainment System days to more recent acquisitions.  Then there's The Forgotten in which I expound on older games lost to time that should be revived.  That should be enough to get you started, so enjoy your time here and I hope you'll become a regular reader.  I think you'll find that I have a lot to say.
