Artlover Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) I got an idea for a story...hang on... Headline: Man found dead under pile of vintage Atari 2600 cartridges. A man (name withheld by request) was found dead late last night under a pile of thousands of vintage Atari game cartridges. Friends and family say he had an ambition to bring retro gaming into the limelight again and was attempting to build the worlds largest "house of cards" out of the old cartridges. Using ladders and shear will, his work approached 20 feet tall. Tragedy stuck when he was down on the ground filling a bag with cartridges to take up the ladder to construct another level with. An unexpected gust of wind collapsed the structure, crushing the victom. One witness was quoted as saying "Oh my god, it was horrible. One second everything was fine, the next there was nothing but muffled screaming and a sea of cartridges washing across the ground like an ocean wave. We tried to dig him out as soon as we could, but it was already too late." Services are to be held this weekend. As per the victom's instructions, he will be burried in a coffin that has been made to look like an Atari 2600 console box.

Artlover Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Any pics? These were taken just before and after the horrific event. Probably shouldn't even show the after picture. Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) lol @ Artlover. You say that, though, but I really did submit a news idea today. What am I known as now, the "spleen man"? EDIT: I misspelled "Artlover". Can you believe it? Edited April 10, 2009 by shadow460 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
