I finally got around to testing an old TV that has been hanging around at school for years: a Sony Trinitron KV-1201.  There's no date code, but this particular model seems to be from the early 1970s.  It hasn't been used in ~15 years and was badly out of adjustment, but with a few tweaks to its many dials, it worked just fine with my 2600!  The picture looks really good, too, even through the crappy switchbox I had to use.

With all the comics that are being mined for movie material, I'm surprised that nobody has adapted the SwordQuest comic series yet.  If SwordQuest were to be made into a movie or a miniseries, we might even get some new games out of it, which would be great; the original Atari games could actually use a remake.

Cybermorph is a good game. Fight me.

Quick!  What's the most RARE word on E-Bay? If you need help, the clue is in the question!

What if life gives lemons, but they are dry lemons? Then what?

Another day, another power outage at work.  I love spending the morning getting 250+ servers back up and running.  Oh the switch decided to lose it's configuration file in the process?  We have a backup of that right?  RIGHT????  Sigh...

Is the incompatibility of youtube, facebook, amazon and even the microsoft website with several browsers with Win10 ever going to get fixed? I'm getting really annoyed. Never had these issues until this year.

Just curious,  When did you get your NES? ...I got  mine in 1988. *

Something should be done about people trying to post PMs in the Status Updates section. Why does it keep happening?

Good job, Amazon!  The $150.00 book set was damaged, but at least you save a few cents worth of bubble wrap!

This is a pretty interesting, and relatively thorough history of Conan: 

After seeing Disney was going to reboot more movies, I've decided to rename their CEO Bob 'Retread Man' Iger. Seems to be all his version of Disney is able to do.

Sorry for the n00b question, but how exactly does a "Make Offer" work on eBay when there is a bidding period on?

They found a way to blame videogames and mental health issues for those recent "mass" shootings. I think even the prez said so himself.

Maybe there's something to that because GameStop is the only store in the nearby town that has bars on the windows.

The trailer for the new Cats movie is  the MOST TERRIFYING THING MANKIND WILL EVER WITNESS. 

Don't give me this shit about security updates. Windows is just as vulnerable now as it will be in 3 months from now - because they'll be making changes then too! Be begging you to update in 3 months, so why bother today?
