The Thread of Gaming Randomness

[Shadow Kisuragi]

When the Jaguar was brought up, I met an interesting couple who used to work for Atari and had all sorts of merchandise, including Jaguar-branded toilet seat covers...

Sounds quite fitting.

Did they have any SNASM lapel pins?

Have you guys played this Easter Egg Missile Command game on YouTube?

Go to any video and type "1980", but NOT IN THE SEARCH BOX.

While my buddy from NY is coming to visit me in November with a free copy of Treachery in Beatdown city (his game) he is the one that used to work for R*

I found this little Easter egg while watching 30 Rock.

my sister asked me to watch her 2 1/2 year old daughter for half an hour, i let her pick out an nes game to play. she picked Top Gun, and was doing pretty good at shooting down the other planes! then she wanted to try nintendogs again, apparently she remembered it from last time (where it made her sad for the puppies being stuck inside the DS lol). she seemed to like it this time.

Just finished watching some of the GTAV stuff.  Pretty impressive.  Is it enough to get the GTAIV taste out of my mouth?  Who knows.  Actually as long as they make the driving fun again I'm pretty much on board, but it will have to be on console though.  There is no way my machine is going to run what I saw at more than 5FPS.

Got the new GameInformer today. Not even halfway through and it's already one of the best issues EVER.

First of all, one of my favs Radiata Stories gets a mention:

Then they have this sweet spread devoted to the Persona series:

I may have mentioned this before.

My aunt has a vectrex kicking around somewhere in her house.I was pricing out some stuff for her to possibly sell on eBay today and she mentioned the "videogame TV box" she had i haven't gotten to take a look at it yet but it may be a prototype unit. Ages ago she was with a guy who worked at Milton Bradley.

I doubt it but it would be nice. If i can get it from her for >100 i will be thrilled. Unfortunately if she finds out it may have actual value it will probably sit in her basement or attic or wherever until she decides to try and get rid of it through some means.

Wish me luck.

Wish me luck.

Good luck. And you mean <100 right?

[Sirgin]

Haha, this is funny stuff.

Wish me luck.

Good luck. And you mean <100 right?

... yea.
Chances are she is going to end up wanting considerably more than the 100 though. Fingers crossed the thing works either way.

@Sirgin that was great.

I was going to regift Zag his GH Van Halen skin.
But for hahas i listed it on eBay for 99 cents.

It ended up with a substantial number of views on weeks 1 and 2. On week 3 someone asked me what the BIN price was. I told her to put in a bid and save money (since eBay makes you increase price to BIN).

I am happy to report that the Van Halen Gamer Graphix skin is now going to someone who wants it. And it only cost me ~1.50 to get rid of it.
