      @greenween I duno about that Kaufman. Many people say a lot of things. I don't believe it you don't believe it, I don't see it you don't see it, mean it clean it be it. Where is Kaufman today, huh? Tony Clifton is still a working performer:

      Yes Murray of course! Riptide was cool and I wish it had run longer. I don't want to tell you how old I was when Dwayne Wayne came on the scene, but school was on my mind and to me Dwayne Wayne was "a cool nerd" who embraced his nerdom, felt okay being smart, but at the same time wasn't depicted as a loner - he had friends, was fun to be around and also ended up with Whitley.

      Maybe we should do a Riptide rewatch in the forums if it's available for streaming or on YouTube.

      Would the Professor from Gilligan's Island qualify as a nerd? 🤔

    4. RickR

      RickR

      The professor from GI is definitely a nerd.  But he's an ADULT nerd.

  17. 📅 February goes by fast! Our BATTLEZONE High Score Squad Challenge ends tonight!

  18. 🤔 Finding that I enjoy James Rolfe as himself far more than AVGN. James & Mike Mondays are fun and his retro movie reviews are excellent.

    1. RickR

      RickR

      I enjoy him in both capacities.  The thing about AVGN that gets overlooked is how great the production values are.  It's fun and funny, and I hope most understand AVGN is a character. 

      The retro movie reviews are outstanding.  I totally agree with you.  Clearly, those two love and appreciate old movies, and that gives it "genuineness".

      @RickR Me neither. I'm just winging it with status updates and Atari photos I took.

  20. 📺 Formally setting up my Sony Trinitron TV stand w/ my 8-Bit systems at the new house. I'll post pics when it's done.

      I can't wait to see it! 

      Let's see that wiring.  I'm always interested to see how others set up their gaming systems.  Example, here's the RF switchbox I've been using.  It does a nice job, but I sure do have a lot less RF systems than I used to.  Only two at the moment.  At one point, it was maxed out.  But a lot of systems sold, some of them had the composite mod, and now...only two.

  23. 📰 Google paid $58.1 million for the Atari building at 1272 Borregas Ave.  This building was home to 2600 games development and all the zany things that went on there. The Mercury News has a nice article on this which quotes Atari I/O: https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/07/01/google-grabs-an-early-atari-building-in-north-sunnyvale-deals-widen/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
