Quote of the day

Article of the day, really. Just some amusing-but-painful spam to kill time while I try to figure out how I want to phrase the bit of my JoA post that I'm stuck on (eta- which it seems I'll do tomorrow. Stupid writer's block. Babbler's block. Whatever). "Child's Play"- Electronic Gaming Monthly rounded up some kids (10-13-year-olds) and forced them... er, let them play some classic videogames, like Pong and Tetris. Games they had never seen before. You know, old games.

Old like me. Really funny article, but ouch. "I'm sure everyone who made this game is dead by now." Evil little twerp.

Bosconian!

[(Anonymous)]

Best article ever, by far.

My new game of the century is Bosconian - I suggest that you go out and hunt down the 25 dollar Namco arcade game controller w / 5 games. (Pac Man, Galaxian, some racing game, Bosconian and Dig Dug).

Bosconian makes life worthwhile. A spaeship that can only fly at right angles and can fire butt-lasers, fight spy ships, and blowing up a thousand death stars. Beautiful.

I miss that comments about me in your blog. :)

Hey Collin! Long time, no see (and happy belated birthday). I hadn't heard of Bosconian, but it sounds awesomely cheesy. I'll have to go hunting. Kids today don't know what they're missing, I swear.
