Saddle Up for a Rootin’ Tootin’ Stream of Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist!

Howdy Partners!

Mosey on over to the Conversations with Curtis YouTube channel on August 9, 2024 at 12:00pm PDT for a live playthrough of the side-splitting classic, Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist!

This time Steve, Daniel, and I will join forces with the legendary Al Lowe as we wrangle up some laughs, dispense some prescriptions, and maybe even relive the glory (or shame) of Freddy’s gunslinging past.

But before we ride into Coarsegold, I just wanted to take a moment to tip my hat to the incredibly talented posse who helped bring this game to life. A huge thanks to the designers, artists, musicians, and programmers who crafted this dusty gem. It was such a fun group to work with and one of my most memorable times spent working at Sierra On-line.

So, whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a fresh-faced pilgrim on the digital frontier, join us for a heapin’ helping of nostalgia and side-splitting fun! Don’t forget to lasso those likes, subscribe for more, and hang on tight – it’s gonna be a wild ride!

Hope to see you there, partners!

Another year, another setback

Leave a comment

I usually post a “Flex Friday” update in February each year, but due to a few health reasons I’m going to postpone for just a bit as I recoup and get some muscle back on these old bones.

I am so thankful to be back at the gym after a 4 1/2 month hiatus. It’s going to be a long, slow process to heal my body, my soul, and my sanity, but I’m ready.

Let’s do this!

Here we go again… and again… and probably again…

We still haven’t made it all the way through the darn game, despite our attempts to stay focused on the quest.

Originally Streamed on Monday, March 25th at 12:00pm PST.

Join me once again (if you haven’t already given up on us) as Steve, Daniel and I, conclude our visit to “The Information Superhighway®” and try our best to find out, “Where in Corpsman Santiago is Roger Wilco?”

25 years since Chainsaw Monday

It’s hard to believe, 25 years ago Sierra Online closed its doors in Oakhurst California. It was an end to nearly a decade of my life spent with friends that helped shape the man I am today. During this time, we were the biggest PC gaming company in the world, all right here in our little mountain town of Oakhurst.

Cheers to all the survivors of Chainsaw Monday, February 22, 1999!

The stream continues…

Well, we didn’t make it very far… What is most embarrassing about the whole thing is, the first part of the game was programmed mostly by me. I couldn’t remember how to do anything and boy did Steve and Daniel sure let me have it. How in the heck did anyone figure out the Datacorder puzzle? I’m still trying to comprehend the logic.

We’ll be at it again on Friday, February 23nd at 12:00pm, but this time Steve will be at the controls. We are going to do as many of these dang videos as needed to conquer our last obus together.

Stream with me!

The year is 2024, but the vibes are straight outta 1995 as my old Sierra pal Steve and I settle in for a live stream unlike any other. Both grizzled veterans of the gaming industry, our hair a touch grayer, our eyes a twinkle brighter, and our hearts brimming with nostalgia for the days of floppy disks and pixelated wonder. On February 16, at 12:00 pm PST, we’ll be revisiting our brainchild, the legendary Space Quest 6: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier.

This isn’t just a playthrough; it’s a time warp. A chance to relive the golden age of point-and-click adventures, when every pixel held the promise of a chuckle, a gasp, or a face palm moment. Sure, the graphics might look a bit blocky by today’s standards, and the puzzles might require a hint of old-school logic, but “Space Quest 6” remains a testament to the enduring power of humor, heart, and a whole lot of digital duct tape. And for a a short moment, we’re not just the two old guys you see before you; we’ll be magically thrust back to our time in the old Sierra On-Line tin shed, starry-eyed and dreaming of pixelated galaxies, all thanks to the magic of a game we poured our hearts and souls into all those years ago.

Mark you calendars and join Steve Conrad, Daniel Albu, and your’s truly as we make our way through this great adventure game from the 90’s.

Diesel Dreams and Cybertruck Memes

Forget sleek angles, futuristic promises and range anxiety – I’m here to celebrate the rumble of a good ol’ Ford diesel. My channel isn’t about chasing the latest trends; it’s about the grit, the power, and the undeniable charm of a truck that works as hard as you do.

Yeah, I might not have a Cybertruck in my driveway, but that doesn’t mean my adventures are any less epic. From hauling stuff and towing other stuff, my trusty Ford and I tackle it all. This channel is my way of sharing those adventures, the lessons I’ve learned along the way, and maybe even a few laughs.

So, if you’re tired of the electric hype and crave the smell of diesel in the morning, hop on board!
