Shadow of the Beast II – Walkthrough

Image
Shadow of the Beast II Walkthrough for the Sega Genesis version by Fausto Chavez I decided to write a walkthrough for this game since it's full of puzzles, the key is knowing what to do. I will focus on the actions that are required to advance through the game. You only have one life, with some life-refills scattered about, so I used the following game Genie Genie codes to develop skill and get deep into the game (eventually, I was able to beat the game without  codes): Master Code: RH9T-860T Hit Protection: AKYA-NA4G From the start, go left until you come across a winged creature who electrifies a person into a ball floating in the air. Attack the creature with your mace weapon and the person will be released. He will talk to you, at the end pay attention to whether he says “upper” or “lower” switch—whichever one he says is the lever you must hit shortly. Go left and climb down the vine (or fall down the root branches) and jump to the first platform you see left of the vine. Go le...

Recovering from Parkinsonism

  This is my story of drug induced Parkinsonism and how I was able to recover. Hopefully this story can help others. To be clear, I have never been diagnosed by a doctor. My understanding is that Parkinsonism is when the source of trouble is known, and when not known is called Parkinson's, labeled a disease.

Here is the long version: in my mid 20s I used a lot of drugs. One week in particular I binged on the stimulant drugs meth and ecstasy, going for little sleep for several days. Basically, I overdid it, and overnight I developed shaking and twitching mostly when resting. My head would v...

Cat Tales Fanzine and Greg Milewski

Image
by Fausto Chavez Last year, I at a local SoCal swapmeet, I purchased a collection of music related magazines and ephemera. Among them were some home printed sheets that the seller described to me as show bills or flyers. Later, when examined closer, they turned out to be Cat Tales fanzine devoted to 50s rock 'n' roll, rockabilly and doowap. There were three issues. Though I'm a rock fan, these are not genres that I specialize. Decided to read them anyway and was quickly amazed by the high quality writing and enthusiasm for this era of music culture, and thoroughly enjoyed them. Each issue featured fascinating interviews with artist from that era, which opened up a whole new frontier of music lore. I became more and more intrigued with these Cat Tales fanzines. I learned the publisher was a guy name Greg Milewski. Researching more, I found out that sadly Cat Tales came to an end when Greg committed suicide in 1994 at age 27. I was shocked that someone with so much enthusiasm...
