I'm a California sci-fi geek and an old-school gamer who’s been hooked on gaming since the original Pong blew everyone's minds in the 1970's.

I'm an old Xoomer... a chill, quiet dude (mostly) and normally play with the mic muted but if you post a question or comment, I'll respond by chat or mic. When you hear non-game music, it's from my meager collection of vintage vinyl.

I mostly come out at night… mostly. + Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Evenings 10pm – Midnight PDT (5am - 7am GMT) and sometimes Sunday evening. + Weekdays – Random 30 minute game breaks from work thru the day. I work from home. + Weekend days at random times To be alerted when I go live, simply follow me on Twitch (with notifications activated) or on Twitter (@darthjazzhands)

My son watches my stream so I try to keep it PG-13. Please help me keep it that way. You know how to be polite and treat others with respect. I have confidence in you. Beware: I'm old so my "give a fuck" is broken. If you don't treat others with respect, I will call you on your shit.
