Marriage is an adventure. If you don't look at it as such then you run the risk of falling into a deep pit much like I did with Pitfall Harry. Marriage is not easy and in the early days can be wrought with lots of emotions and struggles. This is why so many marriages fail before reaching the 10-year mark. You first struggle with the idiosyncracies of the girl you dated. You noticed odd things you at first thought were cute habits of her being weird but now you are questioning if you can put with it her till the end of time. Why is she complaining that you leave clothes on the floor while her makeup has invaded your bathroom sink?There is a lot to marriage for sure. The funny part is that finding out how to divi up the chores is the least of the problems. That is because eventually kids get introduced and your way of life, for a short bit, is upended by the demands of a little life that depends on you to stay alive. Old habits and sometimes dreams get shuffled and relegated to the back burner as you adjust fire.Then on top of all this, you have to try to remember that your wife is still your girlfriend. Yeah, you see her in all her glory of just waking up and with breath that bubbles the paint on the doorjamb. You see her in times of immense vulnerability and she sees you in times of when you aren't the most romantic. Yeah, the random Dutch ovens are funny. There are those times when you and her cling together as you all try to support each other in uncertainty. You divide and conquer the changing of the bed right after your son says he doesn't feel good and erupts half-digested food across your legs while you are readying yourself for bed.So how do you keep the marriage alive and connected? We have discussed ways to keep a marriage connected but what are some of the more common pitfalls that can drain a marriage of its life? What do you not want to do if you don't want your marriage to fade and become another statistic? Here are 9 Pitfalls that will remove respect honor and trust from any marriage.The Victim MindsetIf you have listened to or read anything from this site, you know that victims receive no respect, and rightfully so. Yeah, that sounds harsh until you are trying to repeatedly pick up a victim. Then you realize that they will not take responsibility for their part in the current disaster they are in. The blame is always passed it is never their fault. It is one crisis after another. over and over again. The victim comes running wanting you to fix the problem, then pump their damaged ego up, and be thankful that they chose you to do the work.Now imagine if this was your spouse or worse it is you. You are supposed to be the head of the household and here you are passing the buck like you are the 5-year-old. The victim takes energy and vitality away from those around them. They don't take action to keep the problem from happening again. They just stand there looking to blame someone for the fact that they arrived in the same predicament as before.The victim is a taker. They take the energy drive of their target. They throw away their own self-respect and expect everyone else to prop them up. Stay out of the victim mindset. all that does is send you to the bottom of the trash heap.StonewallingMany times our wife will say something to us that will hurt our feelings. Yes, your wife is very good at creating thoughts that will hurt your feelings. The choice that you have with this is how are you going to respond. Many times she will nag you. This nagging will create thoughts that you are failing at keeping your word or not being responsible. Those thoughts will create feelings of shame and your action will be to shut down and not say anything. That lack of talking is stonewalling. It works, you can just not interact with your wife. That lack of interaction gets her frustrated enough that she just stops nagging you and goes and does something else. Mission accomplished right? Is that action really getting you the results you truly want?Stonewalling will create frustration in your wife. She may start to believe that you don't care about her. You do not want to connect with her anymore She will start to feel isolated and then her mind starts to run and that is where the emotions and thoughts can really cause some damage.Not communicating with your wife doesn't fix anything. Yeah she was bugging you, but why go in the opposite direction of what you actually want? You claim you want to have a stronger relationship with your wife. So why push her away? You know how to alleviate the nagging that she does. Yes, you can do what she asks, but there is a better way. Talk with her. Have conversations with your wife. Not only in the intense times but also in the down times. Stonewalling keeps you away from her more than it keeps her away from you. Believing you can control another personWhen we are married we want to think that the relationship is going to be great. That is until our spouse does something that we find irritating. Then we would like them to stop. We may wish that they do more of something that we do like. Whatever action we would like our spouse to perform sadly isn't in our hands. it is up to them to do so. You can't control them. You can try to manipulate or coerce your wife to do something but is it better if she does it from her own will or yours? I can guarantee that it feels better to you when she does that from her own accord and not from your willTrying to make your spouse happyNow this is something you will hear many women state about their man. He doesn't make me happy. The same thing happens with men too, except we don't voice it as often. We get resentful because our spouse isn't controllable. We just want our wives to make us happy yet they fail at it all the time.However, if you pay attention you will see that your wife struggles with her own happiness. So why would you put your happiness in the hands of someone who struggles with making even themselves happy? This is why one of the best gifts you can give your wife is the absolution of her responsibility to make you happy. Let her know that isn't her responsibility anymore. She doesn't have to struggle with it anymore. You will take on that responsibility.Now she will still have her own thoughts about that declaration and not fully understand it at first. However, she will grasp that you aren't seeing another woman and that you are taking your happiness into your own hands and not playing the victimanymore.Not Being CuriousSadly we stop being curious about our spouse and the late-night talks of random things start to fade. Why? because we stop being curious. We stop wondering about our wife and her thoughts. If you want a strong powerful connected relationship. you have to keep being curious. not blaming but actual curiosity about where she is coming from on a particular action. Why something is as important to her as it is. Letting her say why instead of just believing you know why will fix the hanging dread of disconnection.Dropping Date NightWhen we are dating our wife we set up date nights we make them fun and exciting. They end in romantic romps in bed. That last part is when we want so much so that we know that we are doing good. The problem is that we stop with the work that results in the romps. If you want to have more sex you have to woo your wife and we often stop treating our wife as our girlfriend and that is easy to alleviate when you change how you are looking at your wife.Being able to laughWhy have we as men stopped being light-hearted? Why does everything have to be so darn serious? What if you let up on the seriousness a little and allowed yourself to laugh in front of your wife and kids? What if you took things just a little less seriously?When you can get your wife to smile and laugh because you are being a goofball she can relax and is open to connecting more.Taking words too seriouslyAs mentioned before you are going to hear thoughts from your wife that you'll take personally and these will cause you to feel ashamed embarrassed frustrated or more. This is because you chose to take what she said personally. She may have called yo lazy or worse but you can choose to agree with the statement or not agree and let the pain that comes with those words not even come close to hitting you..Leaving a disagreement unfinished.In times of conflict, it can seem that words and thoughts are flung around like axes and bullets. Even though they can't cause any harm we will allow the thoughts to keep us disconnected. We will pull away the connections we have with our wife. And often sulk to our corner instead of finding a solution no matter how scary it may appear and talking it out till we have a solution, That resolution is important to allow us to reconnect and grow from our experienceMany wonderful times allow you to look at your marriage with fondness. There are times that we also look at our spouse with a thought that is short of fondness. When we do that start looking at when you stopped dating your wife and when you all stop talking. Find a way that you can bring that marital spark back. It's not too late. You just have to start taking actionIf you would like to take your marriage from eggshells to excitement Please take the Next Step and sign up for a free consulting session.

Pitfall Harry, from the 1982 Atari 2600 video game classic "Pitfall" shares his wisdom in this Dharma talk and guided meditation on how to deal with some of the pitfalls, or secondary challenges, that might come up as we work through rumination and anxiety, such as negative self talk and social avoidance. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed offering this talk. Enjoy!

The crew is lucky to be joined by friend of the show and co-host of The Collector's Quest podcast, Tyler Wilkin. We used our time wisely and discussed one of the bangeriest Atari 2600 bangers of all-time: Pitfall II: The Lost Caverns. We are here answering the tough questions like "what's the deal with this stupid rat" and "does Quickclaw have some sort of neurological disorder"? Also, why is Pitfall Harry's young niece lost in the depths of these uncharted caverns in the middle of Peru? If you want to find out, tune in and listen! Or, if you don't, just listen to the beginning and dip out when we get into the game itself. It's cool. We know you're busy. As always, thank you for listening. It means a lot to us that you're willing to waste your time listening to us talk when we are sure there are better things you could be wasting it on.

Season 4 of the BHHcast is here.  Sheep, hitch yourself to the fence post and get comfortable for this episode with video game designer and licensed therapist, Howard Scott Warshaw, author of Once Upon Atari - How I Made History By Killing an Industry, available now wherever books are sold (and in twenty-seven different locations worldwide where books are not sold). Howard Scott Warshaw will tell you that he is the most famous person you've never heard of.  He was a video game pioneer and alleged video game company assassin.  Currently, he is a psychotherapist in Silicon Valley, serving many of same type of game designers that he was at Atari years ago.  Some kids, like your shepherd Bendall, were given Intellivision gaming systems as a kid, and other kids' parents loved them.  Those that actually received the Atari 2600 gaming system were no doubt delighted to play Howard Scott Warshaw designed games, such as Yars Revenge and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Maybe not so much with his infamous ET video game, ripe with pit falls (and not the Pitfall Harry variety), that some accuse (falsely) as the catalyst to the collapse of the video game industry In this episode, you'll learn about Adam's potential addiction to Fortnite, the many posthumous travels of Atari illustrator Jerome Domurat and where best to sit when heckling at a funeral.  Prepare yourself for life advice, wonderful anecdotes and plenty of puns from Howard Scott Warshaw.  To learn more about him, visit https://newonceuponatari.hswarshaw.com/.A great slate of guests are coming in Season 4.  Be sure to like the podcast and subscribe so you can be notified as soon as new content drops.  New episodes will be released each Tuesday.  If you would like to email the show, please send a message to sheep@bhhcast.com.   Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bhhcast)

It's strange to think of a time before jumping was a standard video game action, to be expected whenever and wherever you have control over an individual character. A time before you could hop onto enemies' heads and not die, or swing on ropes, or move back and forth across a vast level — many times wider than the screen. But these ideas were rare, and just beginning to find their way into video game lexicon, when David Crane came along and with one single game turned them into tropes. With just one game that had begun as a simple tech demo of a running man. One game that would go on to define a console generation, amid 64 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard bestsellers chart and a whopping four million lifetime sales on a gaming system that itself sold 30 million units.  That one game is Pitfall!, or Jungle Runner, as it was called during development, an Indiana Jones-like adventure distilled into the (home console) video game technology of the era. This is the story of Pitfall!'s creation and its phenomenal legacy, pieced together from myriad sources — interviews, reviews, history articles, promo videos, book chapters, retrospectives, and a 2011 postmortem delivered at the Game Developers' Conference by none other than David Crane himself.

On episode 119 of ATARI BYTES, there's magic all around us. *Waits patiently for my Dr. Strange cape to wrap itself around me. Nothing happens. I sigh heavily and move on.* We're playing the 1983 Mythicon game SORCERER. The wizards fight the sorcerer - you - for the treasure Pitfall Harry apparently left behind. We'll take Harry's leftovers. We're not picky. You could wonder why, if you're a sorcerer, you can't just conjur your own treasure. But perhaps it's best not to ask so many questions. The plot in this week's story doesn't just have holes. It has craters. Bring your climbing equipment.  Here's a link to the complex.com 50 greatest Saturday morning cartoons we talked about.

Pitfall Harry returns! Just when he thought he was out, they pulled him back in..to PITFALL II: LOST CAVERNS, 1984, from Activision. By "they", we mean water, condors, bats, albino scorpions, and many, many caverns to fall into and get lost in. Sounds like a party to me!

This week, Sir Dudley Dashly swings from vine to vine across the jungle, colliding violently with Pitfall Harry and sending both of them to the hospital with concussions. If only! That's just my dream premise for Pitfall III. Instead, we're taking a look at the 1983 game from Atari, JUNGLE HUNT. Vicious vines. Cruel crocs. Belligerent boulders. Savage, uh, savages. Will Sir Dudley Dashly ever see Lady Penelope again? Well, we don't want to spoil anything, but we'd like to point out they never made Jungle Hunt II.

O aventureiro que só precisa pular para se dar bem. Você sabe que o cara é diferente, quando consegue fugir até de areia movediça azul. Nada de Indiana Jones, Drake ou Lara Croft. O nome dele é Pitfall Harry. Afinal […]

This episode The Guys hearken back to a simpler time of bowling alleys and arcades.  The days our kids will never know about.  The days of the stand up video game machine.  The days when the BETTER games were in the arcades and the crap games were at home.  Sigh.  The days when a quarter actually got you something and being a Mallrat wasn’t about taking things that weren’t yours.  All this quickly leads to another revelation of Eric and Zac’s ships passing quietly in the night.  Ask Amy, Chuck E. Cheese, Pitfall Harry, plus much MUCH MORE! THIS is MISINFORMATION! Also Available on iTunes!

I used to play a lot of Pitfall! back in the day with my Atari 2600. I even got the Pitfall! patch from Atari.
