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.
This might just be the phone that I’ve been waiting for.
“The nüvifone is an all-in-one device offering unmatched integration of utility and function in a single mobile device,” said Cliff Pemble, Garmin’s president and COO. “This is the breakthrough product that cell phone and GPS users around the world have been longing for — a single device that does it all.”
When the Apple iPhone came out, techo-lust immediately took me over, I had to have one and I had to have it now. That feeling subsided quickly as I dug deeper into it and concluded that without GPS functionality, the iPhone wasn’t nearly as great as it had seemed. I had already become quite accustomed to using a Blackberry 8800 and using Google Maps in conjunction with the GPS. I had also realized the power of having a GPS in your car long ago.
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!
Wake up, muscle-car nation: Here is a clear look at the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, the fourth and final installation of the LX-platform that birthed the 300C, Magnum, Charger and their corresponding bad-boy models created by Chrysler LLC’s skunkworks in Auburn Hills, Michigan
Nice shots. I just wish I was in the position to buy one.
We just caught the first completely uncamouflaged prototype for the Dodge Challenger running outside of the Chrysler Tech Center. Perhaps with the Media days of the Detroit Auto Show officially behind them, the Chrysler folks were eager to put the finishing touches on their next big unveiling. The production Challenger will take its official bow next month in Chicago.
After some more thought, I have found myself completely on the fence about this one. This seems like it would be a wonderful traveling companion that would be perfect for syncing with a beefier system at home or in the office. Even better if there was a piece of software to facilitate the synchronization of email, calendar, contacts, documents, etc. between systems.
2009 Corvette ZR-1 – I think I’m in love, only gripe is the clear window on the hood, that might work with a mid-engined car, but not a front-engined one. The only thing you need to know what’s under the hood is to hear it
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.
smackfu.net is about whatever comes to our minds at the moment that we’re in a writing mood… we don’t have much of an agenda really, we just write about whatever we want, whenever we want. Most of the time it’s about cars, technology, some new gadget or maybe just something that we think is funny, something that gets under our skin, who knows?
