Wow! When will I have the time and money to have a playroom like this?!?!? I’m feeling extremely nostalgic right now. Forget a M.A.M.E. cabinet… I want something like THIS!
Peter Hirschberg has just finished his stunning retro-gaming heaven, a Valhalla for the best arcade video games ever. His Luna City Arcade has 57 fully-restored arcade classics, which span from Asteroids to Zaxxon, plus a whole load of pinballs. Amazingly enough, he does all this on his own dime, for the love of it. It’s open to the public now, and the best thing: entrance and quarters are completely free. Check the video, huge gallery and the interview with Peter after the jump.
Well, congrats to the N.Y. Giants on winning the Super Bowl this year. What a good game, it started out kind of slow, but the last half was great. I was kind of hoping that the Patriots would pull off a perfect season, but I’ve been a Giants fan since I was little as I grew up near NYC in Connecticut. Either team could have won that game and I would have been happy.
The commercials are always a fun part of the Super Bowl, my favorite this year had to be the E*Trade spot with the baby and clown.
You know, me and the boys were talkin’ about what to do with all this extra coin, and I was like, I’m rentin’ a clown. Heh-heh, and I did, Bobo here and uhh… I really underestimated the creepiness
Now that my friends, is just brilliantly funny…
There were a bunch of other great ads, some of my other favorites can be found after the jump.
LEGO bricks celebrated their 50th anniversary yesterday. It’s amazing that a toy could have such holding power, but then again, LEGO bricks are not your ordinary toy.
When I was growing up in the 70’s and 80’s I don’t believe that there was a toy that I didn’t get bored with besides LEGO bricks. Seriously, what can’t you build with LEGO bricks? BEST toy ever! Happy birthday to my all-time favorite toy!
Ran across a great discussion between Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht about geeks and relationships.
I can relate to a lot of this and thankfully have found myself a wonderful wife that doesn’t try to change me (at least too much anyway) and has gotten past the occasional marathon sessions in front of the computer.
If someone doesn’t like you the way that you are, then they don’t actually like *you*, only what they wish you were.
This has got to be one of the most ridiculous videos I’ve seen in a while. I miss the good ol’ days watching crazy videos like this on MTV Asia when I lived in Korea. The video is funny enough on it’s own, but when you add the “that’s what I heard” subtitles it becomes comedy gold.
Not like it matters, but anyone want to tell us what the song is really about?
Well I want to stick with the tone of the site and post about things that make me happy or generally contribute to my happiness.
I came across http://www.lifehacker.com a while back and now I visit it every day. This site introduced me to GTD (Getting Things Done) concepts like emptying your inbox every day by creating action folders.
In addition to general productivity tips are great life tips like caffeine naps, DIY flycatchers and so on. They also have a fair amount of tech tips, although quite a few are for Macs (snide comment here).
I highly recommend you check it out! It will add more to your life than reading about Lindsay Lohan!!!
