Title: Stingray's cornucopia of pleasant arcade/gaming related thoughts
Post by: Stingray on November 17, 2005, 01:50:21 pm
Arcade games are fun. That's about all I've got right now, but I'll come back later if I think of anything else.

According to KenToad this should become the best thread ever. Up until he said that I actually considered him to be a pretty together dude. ;)

Thanks guys. :-*

But, Stingray, you're not even getting paid for this anymore.  I'd hardly grant you the slacker title today. :police:

Have you ever noticed that if you grab your joystick with one hand then... oh, I promised to try and not post stuff like that anymore.

You must be taking notes. Not my absolute favorite, but it's involved in a ten or twenty way tie for second. Tempest will always be number one to me.

Yes, Robotron, the only game where two people can be satisfied by one person at a time handling both joysticks.

I am taking notes.  I noticed that Saint will not forget his towel when you two play Robotron and that is a good thing. 

I told you.  This no post tally in EE thing has liberated me.

Copper washers are used in automotive brake systems. Save your Canadian pennies and leaky brakes will soon be a thing of the past.

You say that like there is copper in a Canadian penny.

Post by: Stingray on November 17, 2005, 03:23:35 pm
Sounds like it's time for an experiment. Time to hack up a Canadian penny to see what color it is inside. US Pennies have been Zinc with a thin copper shell around it since 1982.
