There side ways because you are placing your TV on its side in an effort to get gravity to help suck down the pins, but alas, it doesn't work

A league commissioner that follows his own rules is always a welcome thing, but in this case you forewarned about it and you asked the entire league for permission for a few hours of leniency. It is not like you were silent about being late and forcing your way. That would be a bad sign. And asking for a few hours of tardiness is better than asking for a few days of tardiness. Your score is welcome. We aren't barbarians here. Well, if I shave I'll stop looking like one.

Mel's Diner is pretty good, and the diner from cult classic American Graffiti

So people with a 5200 should not punch them for fear of them catching fire?

I'd certainly like someone to confirm the pin size and layout proportions, and maybe different ball diameters based on ball weight, but that may not be possible due to sprite size limitations. And also look into how the pins respond to the ball collision, and confirm pin to pin collision reactions, to see if any enhancements, or more realism, can be garnered. In regards to the aim spotter starting location, just start it in the middle regardless of handedness. I like the idea of a cut scene animation for the various special events. Intellivoice is always a nice touch. Maybe an option to type in the bowler's name. That can be used in the cut scenes, and shown on the scoreboard when the game is over. Entering a name should be optional, but will be a nice addition if it is used in more than just the scoreboard.

A power up that slows down the falling objects, for a short duration. You and your shots remain at normal speed. This'll represent you doubling your speed. Like a speed burst. Also need to add in the competition timer, and saving high scores.

I was never a big fan of the hyperspace. It didn't seem to do much. so maybe fix that up a bit. I'd rather have a short duration force field bubble for the ship. Maybe start off with 2 or 3 and more are gained during play. Either automatic force field on collision, or a manual force field that the player needs to activate. Spinners can still get you, but not the meteors, guided missiles, or the alien shots. Even a power up for splitting your shot in two or three; like many other space shooter games. A two player mode where you are both out there defending the planet.

I tried left handed scissors as a kid. I didn't like them.

the normal definition of ambidextrous is the ability to use both hands equally well for all tasks. I think we are all cross-dominant. From Wikipedia: Cross-dominance or Mixed-handedness is the change of hand preference between tasks. This is common in the population with about a 30% prevalence Ambidexterity is exceptionally rare, although it can be learned. A truly ambidextrous person is able to do any task equally well with either hand. Those who learn it still tend to favor their originally dominant hand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness

Please be mindful of those extensions are actually microSD to microSD extensions. Many of the search results were showing SD to microSD extensions - including the link I posted above.

The various models on Amazon have swinging reviews. So YMMV - from ebay, who knows... There are some that say that they don't stay inserted, but if that's the worst, then a bit of hot glue will fix that up.

Yeah, I know, that is what evg2000 is saying, but this is the first thing that popped up when I did a search for micro sd card extension Edit: My method is to find something that I want (anywhere), and find one that does what I need, and then go find it cheaper. So that link wasn't to be the end-all of all searches. It was the first step of a research project to find something that fits the need

Since it is sealed in plastic, you can make a small hole and pump in some compressed air to pop out all those dents. Maybe even make a balloon out of it

You should have seen me on Saturday using my little electric chainsaw with my arms crossed. More lefties are killed using tools designed for a right handed world.

Yeah, I've now looked at a few of them, and they all say only good up to 16G cards. Not sure why.

Actually, you can enlarge your hole to snuggly fit this in the hole.

Actually, a little search solves everything. Just get one of these and it will dangle out of that the hole you made, but it is much easy to swap: http://www.amazon.com/48cm-Sd-micro-Card-Extender-Cable/dp/B007WYRO7O

Or just shake out one of the other cards you dropped in there All foolishness aside, I've also been thinking of ways to swap out my card, for various reasons.

OK - blind folded bowling

So I am either a baby killer, or I have an evil twin out there somewhere that tried to kill me

Yeah, I've been looking locally, and on the C-list, and a few phone apps for people selling crap. Ebay on occasion, but not often. I bought mine on Amazon for $25, but the pricing skyrocketed at X-mas time and hasn't dropped back, yet.

I've not had any luck finding really cheap ones

So is it like paying Operation without the buzzer when you contact the case? And then does it turn into a memory card piggy bank when you keep dropping them inside?

Yeah, the rooster kinda spoils things. Who really wants to see naked guys running around? How's this?
