Like the man behind me in the theater said, "I liked this movie the first time I saw it - in 1977."

Yep, didn't take long to figure out this "new" movie is basically a retelling of the originals. Still liked it well enough though. :-)

I like it the first time I saw it - in 1977 - a lot better. It was okay, but still not as good as the original trilogy. This is part of the reason.

That sounds like either a minor league baseball team, or a brothel.  

Well, it is on-topic to your status update. They released a new cover song/video today.

Very good cover band! My current favorite is Leonid & Friends. If you like Chicago, you should check them out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_torOTK5qc

I remember almost nothing about the TV Show. I was born in 1971, so I must have watched it and liked it, because I do know I asked for and got the Space:1999 ship for Christmas or my birthday one year in the late 70's.  But other than that I don't actually remember anything about it. I had to Google it to figure out what it was about. 

Loved Space 1999.   There was a fun crossover movie with Battlestar Galactica which I could not find on Youtube, but this alternate intro was pretty cool...  

I never saw the show except for about one minute once...I still wanted that big Eagle ship though!

Have UV sterilizer and it travels... no big thing...

...and 3,000 miles away, John also had a dentist appointment at the same time, but it's passed off merely as a coincidence...   

I had my rescheduled dentist appointment yesterday too, what are the odds?   

both should come up with some lottery numbers together, and run a random number generator based/running on the same cpu as your states use for their games of chance.

You might hit it big spending just 3 to 7 dollars each!

I normally don't like any of that kind of stuff unless the odds are known and changing in my favor!

What makes you think things arrive intact?

UPS always handles with care. Feel confident each and every time you choose them.

@save2600 when you say 1080 monitor, I think of something else. 

Then I found this and thought of you and your Amiganess. 

I'm so used to good, dark, high % cacao chocolate now, that I taste sugar in lots of chocolate I used to eat...Always preferred dark chocolate even back then though

I've heard that our sensitivity to bitterness decreases as we become adults. I'm still waiting.

I like dark chocolate but lately 72% dark tastes too sweet to me. I prefer the 85%.

LOL

Sounds like snow and Wisconsin. And the worst offenders are typically the people that drive trucks and SUV's. Over confident and clueless - a terrible combination behind the wheel.

I wish donuts would fall from the sky.

Also a fine choice.

But when I see it, I hear Radar Rider in my head.

Don't forget. Before a Tesla played Bowie, Bowie played Tesla. https://i.redd.it/a4x1sext874z.jpg

Getting tired of these handhelds with these tiny weenie little screens, considering the market these would appeal to they should consider the failing eyesight of the older generation. I mean come on.

these days I wont even consider anything with less than a 5' screen and even then I prefer at least a 7' screen.

That all said though they really do not seem to be offering anything we do not already have or can do better and cheaper.

Small screen plus tiny, left-handed joystick does not an enjoyable 2600 experience make.

The first ones will make you watch movies as rendered by a NOAC.

^That might be a selling point! LOL

Obligatory flashing 12:00 is a must.

If you zoom in on the packaging, it mentions "Dental Repairs" Under the heading "Blowtorch."

Dentists perform dental repairs, and they need tools to do it. Is this such a stretch? You're on a site where the last machine produced by the website's namesake has had its plastic molds repurposed into dental cameras (as well as scam video game revival consoles, but that's a subject for a different discussion, one with 9,805 replies)

^That's Right! I've got a lot of reading to do! Soon as I fire this puppy up and finish these dental repairs!

Don't ya hate Vague memories?...What movie has the guy saying "I care" after the girl says Nobody cares...?

Oh... it was that one with that guy in it, and that girl. And the other guy. But the line was different because she asks the guy if the other guy cares about anything.

I think it was either a historical drama, or a war documentary. Had something to do with a war anyway, that happened a long time ago.

In a Galaxy Far Far Away?

Cheers!

I met him to, at PRGE. He told me to say good things about him or he would kick me off AA. " He IS a nice guy though "

Yeah, I met him too; good guy. He wanted to do a get-together for AA forum members but it just didn't surface. Oh well, maybe next time.

There are actually 4 'Alberts.' Three of them are minions who have been surgically altered and attend gaming shows. The real Albert lives in a tower atop a high mountain peak in Texas and strokes a fluffy white cat while randomly banning people from chat.

It's funny. This past weekend I was thumbing through some old sketches thinking pretty much the same thing: "I don't sketch as much as I used to".

Coincidentally, I've also been thinking of picking up some long-deferred projects of mine. I've been so busy with teaching these past few years that I haven't had time for game design or hardware projects, but I plan to remedy that this summer.

At this point, I don't have any plans to post them publicly. It may happen (selectively) later, but for now I just want to draw without having to wonder about whether anyone else "gets it".

By now, they must have issued more security updates for Flash than there are lines of code in the Flash code base. What the hell is so wrong with Flash that it needs so many "updates"?

There isn't a native Flash for FreeBSD (my OS of choice), and I'm glad. Not being able to look at a YouTube video on occasion is worth it to avoid all the hassles.

The are no security flaws in the player. The player IS the security flaw.

Haven't played the first one -- can I play the second one without missing any of the story?

Yes - the sequel is a stand-alone story.

You can get the ROM for the first one from here:

http://atariage.com/forums/topic/132050-hsc-season-6-week-4-stay-frosty/

The rule is stupid. Ball in glove + foot on bag = out. What happens after that is irrelevant. Also, orange caps? Yuck!

Replay is awful, as well. Man running to third on a close play at first, he's tagged out, meanwhile call is disputed at first, they change the call -- now what do you do with the runner? Imho replay is ruining the game.

Agreed on the replays. They should only use them to check on whether or not a ball is a home run. I think that's still a legitimate use.

"In Harmony," is that a pun?

This should help clarify things. Maybe…

haha

Canada only? BAH!

In one of my work related finance reports for stock pricing I had heard as part of their reboot of their brand JCPenny was "thinking" of doing a catalogue of toys and gift items again....don't remember them being a major player in toys like Sears but we will see

I've seen the online scans - they're great. Atari games, electronic handhelds, Hot Wheels, Star Wars… it was everything all in one place. The Amazon of its day.

Lots of guitar players at the office? \m/ \m/

I saw a coworker get his tie caught in a shredder. I had to hit the stop button as it yanked his head down ... scary!

No stop button on this one. It was a huge, truck-mounted thing. One-way trip if your tie gets caught.

That was a fun video.

He's also a Svengoolie fan.

Here is Harrison's clip for the same cause...

There was a great bio piece about him in the Post yesterday. For a second I was afraid he was dead, it was such a glowing tribute, almost like an obituary. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/style/2017/02/16/how-weird-al-eclipsed-almost-every-star-he-ever-parodied/

In November, Squeeze Box with an accordion-shaped box will be coming out.

Weird Al's a Classic! Believe it or not, I know where he's coming from...We (the band Monastat 7) were not allowed to release our Doors' cover of Love Me 2 Times by stupid lawyer types...

"Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?"

I prefer salt.

Are you playing Pepper II ?

It's not silly, it's a great idea to reduce our carbon footprint. Now if we only force everyone to have f-ing insurance....

Is it a non-smoking waiting room?

Nobody was smoking in it. But with the exhaust from the cars pointing right into the doorway, it'd be hard to tell.
