Welcome To The All New Gamer42!

Knowing that the 'Gamer' part of MvM is too large to be meshed with this blog, I have decided to give it it's own page once again! The all new Gamer42!

I will slowly be migrating any and all 'Gamer' related elements from this blog/site, to the new blog/site. The new site will contain all links to my game collection (via Backloggery), as well as game reviews, updated Trophy stats, and anything else game related that I find of interest to me.

Please be sure to bookmark the new site. You will also find a link to Gamer42 in the sidebar to the left of all of my 'sites' under 'Website's Run By Me'.

Thanks for looking, and hope to see you all on the new Gamer42! :)

"V-J Day, Times Square, 1945", a.k.a. “The Kiss" by Alfred Eisenstaedt, 1945

V-J Day in Times Square, a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, was published in Life in 1945 with the caption, In New York's Times Square a white-clad girl clutches her purse and skirt as an uninhibited sailor plants his lips squarely on hers.

Hindenburg disaster, 1937

The Hindenburg disaster took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, as the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, which is located adjacent to the borough of Lakehurst, New Jersey. Of the 97 people on board, 35 people died. There was one additional fatality on the ground. The disaster was the subject of spectacular newsreel coverage, photographs, and Herbert Morrison's recorded radio eyewitness report from the landing field, which was broadcast the next day. The actual cause of the fire remains unknown, although a variety of hypotheses have been put forward for both the cause of ignition and the initial fuel for the ensuing fire. The accident served to shatter public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship, and marked the end of the airship era.
