47 sightings

Posted by atari2600land, in 47 sightings 19 April 2012 · 146 views

The presidential campaign is heating up. There was a poll I saw that had Mitt Romney having 47% of the votes, more than Obama who had 45%. That's the only 47 I've noticed lately. There seems to be a lack of 47s around. Got a loose Wipeout 64 at a store for only $5. This from the store that overprices stuff. Found an N64, plugged it in and works...

X-Rated Claymation Project

Posted by atari2600land, 18 April 2012 · 160 views

For those of you who look(ed) at my Mr. Claylegs claymation shorts http://www.atari2600...com/mrclaylegs/ You'll notice two things: First off, they're only 10 seconds long and second, they have no sound. Well, I made a new one consisting of 240 pictures, but only got to 13 seconds long. Put it...

The good and bad of Sony

Posted by atari2600land, 17 April 2012 · 167 views

So I only had 11 minutes of my allotted 16GB handheld camcorder left. Time to buy a memory card. Man those things are expensive. I spent $23 for a 4 GB one. I spent the entire ride home trying to make the camcorder record onto it but to no avail. I just couldn't find the right setting on the infinite amount of menu options and garbage. Does all...

Stuff for kids.

Posted by atari2600land, 16 April 2012 · 151 views

Worked on my Super Mario Bros. 3 comic issue 2 today. Drew two pages, so it's now 7. I need some more inspiration on what happens next, though. If you recall, the previous issue, #1, I struggled to get to 19 pages. Hoping since Jay Leno is a rerun, I can pop in my Super Mario Bros. 3 complete series cartoons DVD for some inspiration. Every Saturday...

Saturn

Posted by atari2600land, 15 April 2012 · 130 views

Why am I playing the Sega Saturn? Because who wants to play the Sega Uranus? Saturn anagrammed is un-star. That's because it's not a star, it's a planet. Anyway, it had been in the cold, dark pantry for a while and thought i'd be nice and get it into my room and play it. So I got it out. Had everything but the power cord! So I was...

3DS stuff

Posted by atari2600land, 13 April 2012 · 142 views

Well, on April 6, I played Frogger for the 3DS. Today, a week later, I played SpongeBob SquigglePants, two games I had bought a few weeks ago. Now I'm not so sure what I'll play next since there doesn't seem to be anything I'd be interested in. I don't know how to play the Zelda or the Star Fox games, and found the NES version of Kid...

Meet Munchalot Man

Posted by atari2600land, in Munchalot Man 12 April 2012 · 149 views

So OK, this is my one billionth attempt at a Pac-Man-type game. I got all caught up in Mike Rideout's pfread stuff then realized that all I needed to do was use that every 8th frame of movement and instead use "if collision(player0,playfield)" I hope to have a fancy title screen with a menu and other options and stuff. The maze editor has been...

How boring...

Posted by atari2600land, 11 April 2012 · 128 views

Oh, look. I found an old issue of "TV Guide Crosswords." They apparently don't make it any more. Perusing May 2008's issue, I spy not one, not two, but three different puzzles with the exact same grid. Not quite as boring as the ones in my local paper's weekly TV listings, which apparently only has 7 grids period and dares not to...

It saved my Jaguar

Posted by atari2600land, 10 April 2012 · 202 views

I admit it, I think the system is cool. But I didn't really enjoy any of the games I had for it, even though I had Tempest 2000. I don't know, I think the game is overrated. I looked it up on AA and it got near a perfect (on average) rating. But I didn't enjoy it. Well, yesterday I got Ruiner Pinball in the mail. I like pinball video games even...

miscellaneous things i want

Posted by atari2600land, 08 April 2012 · 195 views

If you have any of the following, send a PM my way.

+ SpongeBob Comics #7 and 8
I guess the place where I got the first six decided not to carry them any more. I would really like to have a complete collection.

+ pogs.
I also wouldn't mind having a few more pogs, either.

+ The Beat of the Earth
I wouldn't mind having this record ever since I...
