I'm going to jump on Twitch in a few minutes (figure 2:20pm ET) and stream some Tetris. I'm not good (I never was good at this game) but practice & watching CTWC has helped me a great deal. If you're free & want to hang out, then stop on by:

I thought I would be able to return sooner but that didn’t happen due to all of the non-gaming stuff which consumed my daily schedule. I then decided that I wouldn’t return until I was sure I could do so without rescheduling/canceling.

Life has slowed down to where I can return to ...

I apologize yet again, folks. This time it is work that will preempt tonight's show. New projects are fun!*
I see that the SOTG will stream this week so I will aim to avoid that slot once it is announced.
Kind regards,
Marco
*Narrator: He was lying. New projects are never fun.

I thought I'd be back today but that won't be the case, unfortunately. I've taken care of most of the non-gaming stuff but it took up more of my time than I anticipated.
That being said, I will definitely return next Tuesday, August 13 at 9pm ET with Episode 18 of Retro With Marco!
See ...

I've battled a nagging cold/cough for the better part of a week. While I feel like I'm finally starting to put it behind me, it has hampered my news gathering. So there's no show tomorrow night.
I'll be back next week Tuesday, August 6 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.
I hope this finds you ...

(I, for one, am glad to see the month of June come to a close. I'm not against June personally. It just worked me over like a punching bag this year.)
