  1. Almost new carts I got today. Popped Mario Cart in first and got to level 24 and 226,300. I never got anywhere close to that at any version of Mario Bros in my life.

      Quite an achievement! Games for the 2600 are usually pretty tough, too.

  2. just got a nice screen protector for my iPad mini. After taking about 40 min to assure no air bubbles or dust were present I managed to apply it, very pleased with result. Best of all with the stylus has a little drag now and matte finish so not so smooth like on glass, feels more like paper. Tested to make sure, hey I’m no pro but it’s honest art at least 😛to be fair I used the simplest drawing program, no layers or magnification, literally the same as drawing with colored pencils so I am pleased. At least I can make something without a reference. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    My take on HULK.

  3. Ron Howard is 70 today!  What is your favorite Ron Howard role?  Opie, Steve from American Grafitti, Richie Cunningham, or any multitude of other parts?

      My favorite Ron Howard role is probably Richard Cunningham from "Happy Days." Opie Taylor is a close second. I have never seen all of "American Graffiti," so I have no opinion about that one.

      I have it, too. It's pretty cool.

  7. Why is Road Runner for the 2600 so freakin' hard?!  It's killing my wrist!

      It's pretty cool. Avoid Wile E. Coyote and eat lots of bird seed. It keeps your energy up. There are obstacles as well, like cliffs, bombs, etc. It's a good facsimile of the arcade version, for the A2600 anyway. Both the arcade and A2600 versions were developed by Atari.

      Yeah. Only 400,000 people worldwide have the disorder. One in 20,000 people. I am lucky to be still alive. But, I am otherwise in very good health.

      Blood work is routine for me, too. I have a rare genetic condition from birth, called congenital factor S deficiency, which causes my my blood to clot too easily. So, I have to take blood thinners to survive.

      Funny, I didn't find out about it until over four years ago. when I had a pulmonary embolism. Fortunately, I caught it in time with no damage anywhere in my body. So, I know medically how it is.

  11. If you turn your oven on to 943 degrees Centigrade, it will be very hot.

      Yes, at 1,729.4º Fahrenheit, that would be extremely hot.

  13. Discovered a new tongue twister: "I'm nowhere near Newberg." Say it three times fast.

    1. DegasElite

      "The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick." In 1974, it was considered the world's worst tongue twister according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

      Well, they were played by the same person. Maybe, there is a connection.

  16. It occurs to me that a Borg cube must really stink because you have thousands of individuals packed into a tight space that never bathe or shower due to being stuck in an unremovable garment for decades.

  17. While waiting for wife in surgery...

      How much did your film scanner cost you? I wouldn't mind doing something like that myself. Someday, anyway.

      I won't be shopping Black Friday, but I have a lot of Christmas shopping done already. So, it isn't a big thing anyway. Besides, there are too many people at once on that day shopping anyway. Thanks.

  21. This week's show, originally postponed one day, has been postponed until next week. My partner was diagnosed with COVID over the weekend. She does have severe symptoms, fortunately. We also reside in a townhome which affords ample space. So I will be spending this week tending to her and ensuring she regains her health. To that end, she was prescribed Paxlovid and it is helping her recovery.

     

    The new show dates will be Wednesday, October 26 and Wednesday, November 9. I will then take a short break due to personal matters before returning for a show in early-to-mid December which will be the "Season 3" finale. I hope to return in January for the start of "Season 4".

     

    I'll upload a few videos in the meantime, including a head-to-head video which I planned to air as a segment.

      That COVID is nasty. I have had it once, and it lasted two weeks. Mild symptoms, but it still happened. Hopefully, she recovers quickly. :O)
