  2. Atari I/O Retro Junk Box 9: Junk Box 9 From Outer Space

    My thoughts exactly! I know is still early for me to get the box but I'm planning to go to a retro game store to stock up for the junk box, better be prepared, but the way awesome space invaders scarf! Is it possible to order one from Mrs Rows? Definitely would like one for when winter comes around.

    It is possible!  It's not her easiest pattern, but I'll ask her to re-list it on ETSY.

    Ok so gere is what i took out. Im on the way to the post office as i speak.

     

    Ive always heard great things about the slick stick, but have never had a chance to use one. Now when i saw the terror of tinny town i just laughed. Havent seen that one in a while had to snag it.

     

    Not sure if yall can see it but the coax adapter thing says scientific Atlanta on it. Its a compy that builds alot of cable tv electronic supplies. I believe it was cisco that bought them out, but their building is still there in Lawrenceville

    Scarf gone in 1!  

     

    Glad it went to a loving home.   That GBA game is still factory sealed too :)  

     

    Starbuck is next!

    • Servo flying around the theater.  I don't mind some additional physical comedy (dodging on-screen objects, pretending to peer up and over ledges, etc.) but the flying makes me roll my eyes every time.  The one instance that I enjoyed was Servo emulating the Pink Floyd flying pig at what looked like Battersea Power Station (was that in Reptilicus?), but that gag suffered from my previous con listed -- he started it before the scene appeared, IIRC.

    I'm not a big fan of the mobile servo either, but he made me laugh on Time Travelers when he was pretending to hoist up the rocket.

     

     

     

     

    BTW, I don't know the answer to this question as I've only seen the first two, but.....are there any short subjects?

    Not so far.  I did love the shorts.

     

    And I don't really care much for the band, or even the Moon13 set to be honest.   It looks like they set it up in a format where they can cut to commercials with Oswalt's synopsis, but on Neflix it just seems odd.

    I've been steaming a few episodes on Netflix, and I'm honestly pleasantly surprised.

    I think we're about to start Ep 6, and here's my pros and cons.

    Pros:

    • Set is perfect, feels like home.  Theme music is perfect.
    • Riffing is still good, this is key of course.  
    • Characters are mostly true to form (see cons)
    • A positive change in trying to make sure riffs don't cover movie dialogue. (Yes, some of us do want to keep up with the movie)
    • Crow's new voice is almost spot on.
    • Patton Oswalt

    Cons:

    • Gypsy.  Not digging her voice at all.  (also is that an ice chest she puts down at the beginning of the movie and picks up at the end?)
    • Tom Servo isn't familiar to me, and he used to be my favorite.  Bringing me to my next point
    • On MST3K I could tell which riffs were coming from which robot and/or host by the nature of the riff.   They had definite, distinct personalities.  I'm not feeling that yet with this one.  Maybe it will come in time.
    • I'm a big fan of Felicia Day, but she wasn't quite won me over as Kinga yet. 
    • Lastly, the movie selection hasn't been great so far.  Mostly the lower end of average rather than truly horrible.

    I'm happy it's back, I think it will get even better as they go on.  Thoughts?

    So I'm out with a cold and can't hit up a huge list of garage sales today, but the Mrs. is a trooper and hits a couple before she goes into work.....

    She shoots, she scores!  

    I did manage to snag a complete boxed Colecovision Flashback Dollar General version, and a loose Atari Flashback 2 with controllers yesterday though :)
