She Isn’t Really M.I.A.
She isn’t really M.I.A. If she’s right here in my hand, lol! Needless to say, I had nothing to do with this video, but I just stumbled onto it now. Since some photos of mine are prominently featured (unbeknownst to me) I was compelled to give it a watch. Clearly this man has visited my websites. It actually amazes me how often I stumble upon my own photos being used elsewhere on the internet…like when a friend sent me a link to some tag gear being sold on a UK auction site an


Knock Your LQ Socks Off
It’s Museum Collection Monday! In collecting tag swag, I feel “the quirkier, the better” so I didn’t hesitate to order Laser Quest leggings and socks to complete an ensemble when these items were sold by LQ, circa 2019.

Walking for Our Blue Base Warrior
This is an issue that hits home because it has impacted our laser tag family too many times (and even once is too many). To be clear, this is NOT Tag 4 A Cause. In fact, I didn’t even know about this event 12 hours ago. But today I am walking to remember one of our fallen laser tag warriors in the fight for suicide prevention and awareness. I am walking for our blue base warrior. I’ve just completed a two mile walk in memory of my friend. This time I’m not asking you to donat


Venturing to Vermont
As I continue my journey to laser tag in all 50 states once again, I hit both a challenge and a wonderful solution for tagging in Vermont. When there are no more arenas left that I haven’t already played in Vermont, it’s time to take it outside! I made a weekend road trip, driving five hours up to the furthest northwest corner of Vermont to play outdoors with Infinite Mobile Laser Tag. This was a special all-ages event hosted by the Sheldon Municipal Library with both younger


The “Ultimate” Find
This week’s Museum Collection Monday find never made it to the store shelves. This appears to be a packaging artwork cel and sketches that give a peek of what might have (but didn’t) become a home market product called Ultimate Photon. Presumably, this may have been intended to be a potential follow-up to the 1986 release of the Entertech Photon home market toys. It’s cool to see this and imagine what might have been!

40th Anniversary of Photon TV Show
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the premiere of the Photon TV show (September 20, 1986). It’s a quirky little show, filmed mostly in Japan with a few scenes filmed at the Dallas Photon center. Seeing Photon on the small screen when I was a kid was my very first awareness of laser tag (and the reason I adopted the codename Tivia) so I credit it with being the place where my laser tag interest first began. For those who remember PhotonForever.com, I never took the content d


Stories From the Set: Behind the Scenes of the Photon TV Show with Shadowcat
This weekend (September 20th) marks the 40th anniversary of the premiere of the Photon TV show, so on this week’s episode of Laser Unfocused Tag Talk we chat with Dallas player Shadowcat about her memories working as a production assistant and as an occasional extra on the scenes that were filmed at the Dallas Photon center back in the 80s.

Look Who’s Tagging
In this latest edition of “Look Who’s Tagging”, here are a couple of unexpected laser tag players I encountered during my recent travels, all striking the laser tag pose! :) Townsend Coleman: Prolific voice actor Townsend Coleman told me he has played laser tag in Los Angeles (though he was not sure which system). Fun fact: He’s well known for being the voice of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and last year we made another TMNT actor (Robbie Rist) a laser tag fan while playing


Tagging with the Graduating Marine Recruits
What an amazing day laser tagging with some graduating Marine Corps recruits and their families on base at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego! This was truly an honor and a real privilege to be invited by Sector 7 Laser Tag to join them to play laser tag on Family Day alongside the Marine recruits about to graduate from boot camp as they enjoyed some special time visiting with their family members. My thanks and gratitude to these recruits dedicated to serving our co


Force Friends in Cali
By mid week I found myself passing through San Marcos, CA, so of course I paid a visit to our member friends at Invasion Laser Tag. I had most recently seen EboMike, Anchovy and Halange during the Laserforce Nats held at my home site on the other side of the country, so this time around it was nice to get to visit them in their arena. Even though owners Bronwyn and Kevin were not there when I visited, I want to shout out their business and their awesome team who let us enjoy
