The Mike Hardy Saga, Part IX: The Story Ends… for now

December 3rd, 2005

(note: read parts I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII if you haven’t already)

When I first started this project, I envisioned it taking five, maybe six posts to cover all of Michael J. Hardy’s exploits. I did not expect it to reach nine, but I started running into even more things by him that I had not found before I began the series; there might be a part ten when this is all over. However, unless I find some new stuff released by Mr. Hardy, or if something else comes up, this will likely be the last post in the series. Read the rest of this entry »

The Mike Hardy Saga, Part VIII: It’s Not Over Yet

December 3rd, 2005

(note: read parts I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII if you haven’t already)

It is not over yet, although the end is in sight. Today in the Michael J. Hardy saga, I will be looking at some web browser madness, a media player, and another strange thing. Unfortunately, even I am getting a little tired of going over all of this, so pardon me if I sound less than enthusiastic. Read the rest of this entry »

Effective, no? And easy.

The Mike Hardy Saga, Part VII: Inquisitive Interlude

November 24th, 2005

(note: read parts I, II, III, IV, V, and VI if you haven’t already)

For nearly the past two weeks, I have been expounding the emphatic engineering exploits of one Michael J. Hardy. As best as I can gather, his wares have been happily traipsing across the Interweb for approximately four years. I have not addressed some issues in depth, however. Read the rest of this entry »

My blog is worth more than cph’s blog

November 22nd, 2005

Look out! It's George Washington!
My blog is worth $1,129.08.
How much is your blog worth?

Technorati

Take that, cph. Although I can’t possibly fathom why mine would be worth so much. Interestingly, Doomworld is worth $0.

The Mike Hardy Saga, Part VI: Mostly Mysteries

November 21st, 2005

(note: read parts I, II, III, IV, and V if you haven’t already)

You know, looking for stuff that Michael J. Hardy has released on the Internet is kind of like having your house infested with mice, and you are on a hunting expedition to kill them all. The first time, you think you have exterminated all of them. But over the course of the next several months, they keep popping up in places you never expect. They seem to be multiplying. Every time you find a new one, you feel like you want to kill yourself instead of it. (Simple version: imagine a game of Whack-a-Mole.) Read the rest of this entry »

The Mike Hardy Saga, Part V: Back in the Asylum

November 19th, 2005

(note: read parts I, II, III, and IV if you haven’t already)

Oops, it looks like I goofed. Part four did not actually cover all the releases Michael J. Hardy has made under the Asylum Studios name. Correct, there are more magical Mike Hardy makings to be discovered! Read the rest of this entry »

The Mike Hardy Saga, Part IV: Another Visit

November 19th, 2005

(note: read parts I, II, and III if you haven’t already)

In part three, I took a look at the various Doom ripoffs “created” by Michael J. Hardy. Those were not, however, the only releases he has made under the Asylum Studios name. His other releases include a Frogger clone, a web browser, and a horror game. Let us take another exciting visit to Mr. Hardy’s Asylum Studios. Read the rest of this entry »
