What's the game?

Take the name BLOGGER. From these seven letters, you can form the names of two games, a toy brand, and a food brand. Each word is formed with BLOGGER being a letter bank; it is unnecessary to use all seven letters in each word.
Here are the first letters of each word from the refrain of an older popular song:
I was standing in line at a bookstore and watched the customer in front of me buying a book. I didn't see how much the book cost, nor did I see how much the customer paid the cashier. I did see that the customer forked over a single bill of some unseeable amount. Then the customer said, "That's the last bit of cash I have on me. I hope to see some of it again." I heard the following sounds "clunk," "shick," and "cling," indicating that the bill had been taken and that a single bill and single coin had been given in return. The customer looked at his change and said, "Oh, good. Enough for another copy and a phone call."
My brother's given name is NOLAN, but we call him NICK. Within these nine letters (NOLANNICK), you can spell two words which both mean family. There will be two letters leftover which could also have been an exclamation by Nick after being told who his family was.
In most action movies, the main character is up against a bad guy with a whole bunch of his cronies. I'm thinking of a synonym for the bad guy in seven letters. Change one letter to an 'e', rearrange the letters, and you'll get a synonym for his cronies. I must add that both of these words are in relation to the good guy.
Examine the following sequence:
I'm thinking of two two-syllable six-letter terms thrown around in the tech industry. One is something physical that you use, while the other is something non-physical that you use. If you take the first term, change the fourth and fifth letters (both letters which when spoken are also words) to two other letters (both of which when spoken are also words), and read it backward, you'll get the second term.
I'm thinking of a three-letter abbreviation which was interchangeable with a movie title (for example, T2 was interchangeable with Terminator 2). Take the first letter and move it to the end, and you get a well-known three-letter abbreviation from the tech world.
Examine the chess piece names and divide each of them into first sound and then the rest of the word. By taking the first sound of one and the last part/sound of another, you can form various words.
I've taken an contemporary author's name, mixed it with one of his/her works, and anagrammed all the letters to make the following statement:
I've broken up a director's name into bits and pieces. See if you can figure out who it is below:
Back by popular demand! The string of words below rhymes with a line from a refrain from a popular song:
The other day, a friend of mine Spider inquired about this daily puzzler, and this prompted me to write today's puzzle.
The other day I was thinking about a couple of men (one a writer, one an actor) with an unusual pair of names. The writer has two syllables in the first name, one in the last, while the actor has one syllable in the first name and two in the last. Their first names are from the same base (like Bill and William), while their last names each contain a word which are exact opposites of one another.
There are two adjectival abbreviations being used in the public school system today. Oddly enough, their spellings are opposite one another. If that's still not enough, one of them is a state abbreviation.
(Someone asked for a math problem. Hope this does the trick.)
I'm thinking of two words, often associated with the armed forces, which when put together phonetically form a car's name.
I'm thinking of a measurement. Phonetically, this is also a computer program.
I've rhymed part of the refrain of a popular song. More specifically, I have rhymed every syllable of a line from the refrain, as seen below:
In the following puzzle, I've listed clues which lead to a famous person's name (past or present). Each name (first and last) begins with the same letter.
First, read the paragraph. The instructions come afterward:
I'm thinking of a country's name. In it, you can find the word STAR, with each letter in its proper order and without any other letters coming between the letters.
Each of the following clues produces a pair of words which all share the same letters:
A state's capital can be broken down into the following parts, not all of which are phonetic:
I'm thinking of a famous director's first and last names. Although jumbled, every letter of this director's name can be found within a famous artist's last name from the the Renaissance. Furthermore, every letter of the director's name is adjacent within the artist's name (though as I stated, jumbled).
I'm thinking of a country's capital in three syllables. If you move the first syllable to the end, you'll have another city of world renown from the same country.

I saw a kit at Barnes and Noble that was geared toward little kids. However, it's something that every law enforcement officer has access to.
I'm thinking of a common hobby. If you roll back the first letter four spots (an E rolls back to an A, an F rolls back to a B, and so on), the hobby is a palindrome (reading the same forward and backward).

I got busy here and dropped the ball. For all you faithfuls, sorry about that.
