    Hey bumper stickers! Quit telling me what to do.

      I want a bumper sticker that tells people to stop buying bumper stickers

      If you don't like my driving, stay off the sidewalk!

    I can see the games, but from the ads on your site, it looks like there was some sort of game system as well, and a keyboard attachment? And what is the attachment that the game cartridges appear to be inserted into?
  4. Tinman
    Very nice. Although from the photos it appears that the keyboard was a Packard Bell, not an HP.

    My French isn't very good. What was the Home Vision exactly?
  6. Tinman
    If you try to use the driving controller, it won't work. If, on the other, you plug in an Intellivision II controller and try that... it still won't work, but hey, at least you tried something kinda cool.

    Starmaster pales in comparison to the original Star Raiders, in my opinion. That said, it's one of my two favorite games on the 2600 (the other being Adventure). So, while not up to Star Raiders, it's still one VERY good game, and better, I think, than the 2600 version of Star Raiders.

    @potatohead -- Fantastic response. Well said, sir. @[email protected] -- I was the same way with Star Raiders! Never before or since has a video game hooked me like that. It remains my all-time favorite video game on any platform anywhere.

    2600 Vs Vic 20

    Tinman replied to PFL's topic in Atari 2600

    I learned to program on Commodore PET computers that we had at school, so when the VIC-20 was released, I was immediately interested since it was based on the same platform, but with improved (color!) graphics and sound. But the 20-column text mode was a big turn-off. That was a step backwards even from the PET. When the Commodore 64 was released, that pretty much ended any interest I had in the VIC-20. Of my friends, I recall one of them ended up buying a VIC-20 and later replaced it with the 64. The rest waited for the 64, or did what I did: buy an Atari 800 instead.

    I'm reading that Jack Tramiel has passed away.

      Oh no.

      So am I. At 83 years old. Not sure what to make of it, or him, tbh. Clearly someone with vision in his early days but lost it somewhat when he took over Atari.

    My legs were pretty wobbly after this morning's workout. And by "after" I mean "halfway through".

    Playing Draw Something reminds me just how much I cannot draw at all.

      Well.. technically a scribbled crooked line is something. :)

  13. Tinman

    I'm right there with you... uh, chief... :) @Ms_Eight: I really really really hate being bad at remembering names.

  14. Tinman

    Sounds like a great name for a rap song. RT @Drudge_Report: Dominique Strauss-Kahn charged with 'aggravated pimping'... http://t.co/K2HktvTF

    Sign in the men's locker room at LA Fitness: "Please do not be naked and/or shaving in the sauna." Sad that they would need that.

    1. Tinman

      Tinman

      @MagitekAngel: Yes, naked isn't uncommon, although I'd rather everyone were clothed, but shaving in there is just gross.

       

      jtoubeaux: It's our local LA Fitness here in Tampa, FL.

    2. Grig

      Grig

      OK, didn't know the locale - yeah, no shaving in the sauna. Unacceptable. Nasty.

    3. Tinman

      The worst part is, for them to have decided they needed the sign, somebody must have been doing it...

      Big Papi? As in David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox?

      Reason enough not to go there

      I'm guessing you're not a red sox fan jtoubeaux? I am.

    Finally reading "Sh*t My Dad Says". Funniest book I've read in quite awhile.

      Loved the show. Wish they would continue it.

  21. Tinman

    Just set my out-of-office message and logged off of work. As if this moment, I am on vacation!

  22. Tinman

    Wait. So I'm NOT supposed to vote for Kony in the 2012 election? Uh oh...

      Your XBox 360 doesn't fit into an enclosure the size of a magazine, and eats up an order of magnitude more electricity. I don't think it would've excited you if it had breasts and gave BJs.

      Hey Spiceware - do you have a Steve Jobs action figure and a shrine to him in your house? :-)

      For the record, I thought it was a solid release though I found myself secretly waiting for the jobs patented "one more thing" that didn't come for me.

    Still trying to figure out how not wanting to pay for someone else's birth control is the same as banning it.

    Super Tuesday? I prefer Bat Tuesday.

      How about Aqua Tuesday?

      Taco Tuesday anyone?
