  1. Please tell me this Atari SpeakerHat is an elaborate trolling.

      That's what they said about the beer can hat, and look how far it's come. You can't fight the future.

      I'm holding out for an Atari Beerhat! That's what needs to happen!

  2. Wonder if I should spring fro the Fallout loot crate.

      Doesn't it come with some MRE's, pepper spray, survival knife? It might save your life. :)

      I have one from a couple years ago that came with a backpack and hoodie!

       

  3. At what point in my life, would I want to sign up for emails about a speaker hat? Why? What has the internet come to?
  4. Great minds think alike. I referenced the Rubik's snake(I had one as a kid) before listening up to that point on the 'cast. As for Return of the Jedi, I played the one at Galloping Ghost and did amazingly well. I thought I would have smacked into trees left & right, but nope, I buzzed through them. The game gets weird in later levels where you switch back & forth between Endor & outer space with no warning.
  5. I remember playing ESB at the Starlog store at the Mall of America(long gone now). What I always did during the asteroid stage(which looked like Rubik's Snakes) was just point my gunsight at the lower right corner, and that dodges about 95% of the asteroids. Then I move onto the next level.
  6. To be honest, I liked that mockup Atari console a few years back that had the full Atari logo on the top. That looked nice. Wish that was orderable as a RPi case or something. The controller looked painful though, but maybe that's just staying in tradition of Atari controllers. heh. As for any sort of "console exclusives", I can't imagine Atari having enough, since most of the company has been gutted. The world of video games has changed since they were the top dog. No chance of a modern day exclusive remake of Air/Sea Battle or other generic-named games like Circus Atari. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I may just throw a few bucks in the Kickstarter, expecting nothing bak, just for the lulz. If if reaches the goal, and produces nothing, at least there will be some hilarious YouTube videos for years to come as a result.
  7. I remember, many many moons ago, the endcap a Target in St. Paul having a bunch of gen 1(white box) TI modules. Sadly, no pictures of it except in my head. Surely there's pictures of TI stuff in department stores(Target, Montgomery Wards, etc) in the wild, no? In fact, we should post them here.
  8. I have gamer's block: No incentive to play video games at the end of the day. End up watching Futurama marathons or other TV. Hmm

      Nothing wrong with that! I was thinking the same as everyone else...It always comes and goes...Variety is the spice of life.

      It'll pass. I have lost my gaming mojo on a few occasions but it came back

      My God man! Have a beer, smoke a fatty and plug in a cartridge before it's too late! :D

  9. After all these years, how did I not notice that there's two sets of all-capitals fonts? Huh.
  10. Alright everybody, are you ready to Atari?

      I'm ready to Nuon. Did some Atari (Jaguar) yesterday.

      Yes! Always!

      Well I'm kind of Wang Chunging tonight, (I hear Everybody is), but I suppose I could clear my schedule and quit this crazy Wang Chunging to gang way for some quality Atari Time! Sure, Count me in!

  11. *blows dust off of thread* A New podcast has arrived! Arcade Perfect Should be on iTunes soon. It's about finding the perfect home port of arcade games. Hosted by the Aussie Retro Domination guys. Also, I'm the TI expert. Mostly. Kinda, sorta. I know enough.
  12. I would never want to be underneath that bus thing. It would be impossible to change lanes(for whatever reason) once you are under it.
  13. I didn't go to 2DCon. it's way too new, and seems to be completely devoid of anything retro. It didn't get any backing of the local retrogaming scene, nor the pinball one. Midwest Gaming Classic's the only one near us. The second closest are the MN Retro Gaming Society's Facebook group get togethers.
  14. I wonder how many hipster record stores call themselves "The Vinyl Countdown"

    1. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      Not enough or far too many.

    2. carlsson

      carlsson

      Wouldn't that suggest a store that is looking to close, as if they're restocking with traded in records, it isn't really a countdown.

    3. GoldLeader

      I'll bet there's some in Europe.

  15. I need to figure out what to do when I touchdown Thursday. Want to see at least one filming location in Portlandia, but I've no car. Hmm.
  16. Does anyone have Mushroom Man for AtariBawks?

      I know what you want, what you really really want.

  19. I didn't know Atari distributed Ikaruga. I'm no good at the game, but it's pretty dang cool. Ikaruga's better remembered by the publisher(some, at, something, right?). heh
  20. I'm now giving Famicom Dojo a try. It was only 6 years ago on here it was first mentioned. Heh.

      @dj_convoy: You forgot the question mark at the end, just to make it even more indecipherable.

  22. G.L.O.W. Netflix has potential.

      Oh sweet! I was hoping it would be good!

      Mildly amusing.
