      Not yet, but now that you mention it, I gotta go play some Atari...

  4. Fighting with the office VPN connection. Why are corporate networks so slow?

      Co-workers watching Youtube? :)

  5. Downloaded Video Fever by the Beepers. Going to play Galaga and pretend I'm Matthew Broderick in War Games. Maybe Ally Sheedy will show up?

      I think I like older Ally Sheedy better than younger - you know, Psych Sheedy vs. Short Circuit Sheedy, unless she wears those workout clothes from Wargames - hubba hubba!

      Hillarious. You know I downloaded this about a month ago for the same reason. I had remembered it from War Games!

      As hot as an albino meth head from a run down trailer park.

      Funny, I was just thinking of the mid-90s "Soylent Green 2" sketch on SNL, with Phil Hartman impersonating Charlton Heston.

  8. Wondering when we will see a boxed version of Halo 2600.

  9. Wondering which will be better The Hobbit or The Three Stoogies?

    1. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      Hobbit. That guy from Will and Grace sucks.

    2. MagitekAngel

      MagitekAngel

      The Hobbit, because 1) It's awesome, 2) You can't replace The Three Stooges, and 3) It's awesome.

  10. @home sick. Head cold. Maybe a game of Star Raiders will make me feel better?

  11. The cousins have returned the Wii after babysitting it for the last nine months. The kids are having a great time with it again.

  12. Day off. Turned on MAME and cranked up Rush and got busy playing Berzerk with my XArcade joysticks. Life is good.

      I actually heard this song while playing Space Invaders in the arcade moreso than Rush -

      Rush the band or Rush Limbaugh?

    4. Master Phruby

      Master Phruby

      Rush the band. Check. Orange Shasta. Check. X-Arcade w/o trackball - I love this stick. I found a Razer Tron mouse really cheap that I'm using for Millipede and Star Wars. Need a lightup keyboard now. Video game room was built with LED lighting which gives a great blue / green color when its on.

  13. My X-Arcade tank stick came today! Mame is so much fun with real joysticks.

      I bought one YEARS ago and have never regretted it. They are awesome.

  14. It's pay day at work! I'm rich. Not.

      I had some OT last week, so it's a good size payment today.

      The State of California continues to give us a furlough day each month so I get to LOSE money. Yaaaayyy!

      It takes the new forum a good 20 minutes to populate it to all pages.

      I know, it messed with me too.

      This same thing just happened to me a couple of hours ago!

  16. Spent today putting a few of my custom Star Wars figures on ebay. Proceeds going to an Atari Jaguar.

      Kick ass man! Cant wait to have you around the Jag scene if you arent already :)

      I bought one when they originally came out. I gave it to some friends. It would be nice to have one again.

  17. Hey it looks like NBC made Smash TV into a real show!

    1. Zach

      Zach

      ??? I searched the IMDB for Smash TV and didn't find anything.

    2. cparsley

      cparsley

      Smash TV is not the gameshow, but a Steven Spielberg drama. (It's Smash, not smash tv, btw)

  18. Wondering if Obama really was teleported to Mars as a teenager....

  19. Playing Asteroids and wondering how many licks does it take to get the tootsie roll center of the tootsie pop.

      I did this a couple of years ago...I think it was about 250 licks.

      Better ask Mr. Owl, Mr. Turtle don't know squat.

    4. Zedex

      Zedex

      That little boy in the Tootsie Roll commercial is naked, and he's talking to an old Mr. Owl. Is Mr. Owl a pedo?

  20. Finished reading "Ready, Player One". It was right up my alley! Video games and 80's movies. Very fun.

      Lovecraft once said something to the effect of: "Here are my Poe stories, and here are my Dunsany stories, but where are my Lovecraft stories?"

  21. When did Pac-man carts become rare on ebay?

      They aren't rare, on eBay or anywhere else. Even the most isolated monastery in the world has two or three of them sitting in the back of a closet.

    3. Crazy Climber

      Crazy Climber

      The ebivision pac on Ebay right now is INSANE rare. I would buy it but too close to X-mas...

      One of the local shops around here raised their 2600 Pac-Man cart prices from $1.95 to $10.00. I don't understand it either.

  22. Updated my new home office with racks holding my 2600 & Colecovision game collection!
