JUNE 9th FOOLS DAY!!!!

No, I was thinking "what is Quiche" all week. I also dropped in a "Bet it all, Cliff" in the show. I wanted to use a dirty SNL celebrity Jeopardy category, but we were keeping the show clean.

Frog Bog would work

tv flappy birds

i was thinking "tv pow: drunk production assistant whose brother is the station manager edition" where our production assistant hero taps the fire button a few times without even pretending to be in synch with the caller.

nope, it was from 'White Men Can't Jump', Rosie Perez studies to be on Jeopardy, and one of the categories she studies for is 'Foods that start with Q' and it actually comes up in the show. But say it with Rosie's accent and it was memorable... but to only me i guess. http://youtu.be/FAy7xc2Cksg?t=2m18s

did anyone *cough s1500* get the reference with my category "Video Games that start with the letter Q"?

thanks i gave a little grief to both the guy that didn't know zelda and the guy that knew the game quarterback attack

so for CGE we should have a REZ contest

when we were setting up, i had the buzzers sitting on the three empty contestant chairs. insert your jokes *here*

I have just found out Duke from the RF Generation Collectorcast was the winner of video game Jeopardy. Proving once again podcasters rule the world!

that sounds fun! i will need to figure out how to fly the jeopardy console and a projector out to vegas, but an Intellivision edition of Starcade could be super awesome.

the single note "out of time" sound is used whenever the host presses a button to select a question or to move the cursor. its a bit annoying on the recording but live it was barely noticeable. i have an idea for a modified version of starcade. now that i have a quality set of buzzers, i need to experiment.

i found a 2002 classroom jeopardy console on shopgoodwill for 30 bucks. the new models go for over 400 dollars, so this was a steal.

as for demakes, Halo 2600 is an achievement. It had an official blessing from Microsoft, and rather than try to make a first person shooter, it took elements of the Halo universe and reimagined them for the VCS. It also made mainstream headlines and got people interested in the 2600 that would otherwise have zero interest. As much as I hate to admit it, if your hobby is not growing, it is shrinking. Halo 2600 was a shot in the arm to the 2600 scene. (even though it is not the best homebrew game out there, it is more than good enough to serve its purpose)

for a lot of games, the new homebrews fix what was broken. the new Donkey Kong on Intellivision fixed the terrible coleco version. all the pac man ports try to make up for VCS pac man. there are a lot of games that never received ports back in the day. the old games are a proven commodity, and it's cool to see the originals play correctly.

sadly, the most successful homebrews tend to be de-makes or missing arcade ports. I am as guilty of this as anyone else. more than half my homebrews fall into this category.

does he still sell the CDs for his old Retrogaming Radio? Those CGE interviews from around 2000 or so are fantastic.

I love how the stunt track has regular 2-way traffic, including 18 wheelers.

I don't get it. Retronauts openly admit they have little knowledge of pre-1985 video games. So why don't they bring on a guest host that has this knowledge/experience?

LOL! according to wikipedia, the song was released in 1986 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Dance_3
