My first article for Cracked went live today, so I just thought I'd share:


Not arcade related, but I did sneak one arcade reference in there.  :cheers:

Great read. Some really funny lines in there.

I have to dock you points on writing the name "Falco" xx times and not once referring to this 80's pop sensation  ;) :

I'll have them know that Cracked is quite tasty.

Can you believe that connection never even once crossed my mind? I have failed.

Nice work. I'm starting my tunnel-to-my-temple-to-my-bomb-site construction later today. If anyone wants to join me I am accepting workers that will work for free, pledge to die before revealing my secrets, and help me come up with a better name for my ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- than any of those in the other secret projects.

This project will solve the several problems:

1. create a place to store all the arcade machines I haven't collected yet.

2. give me some "me" space

3. provide an appropriate response to spam and flame mail (when we say scorched earth, we are not elfing around)

You have inspired me....

Over 500K views in the first day, and less than half of those were me! My mind has officially been boggled.

We seem to have a few Cracked fans around here, so I guess I'll keep this thread updated whenever my painfully slow rate of output produces a new article:

The article right next to mine today is "14 'Luxury' Sex Toys for the Extremely Rich and Creepy," so I guess that's somewhat warranted.  :D

Just finished reading that article (before I saw your updated post, BTW).  I liked it! Though were there kids that actually enjoyed papercraft as a kid?

Paper airplanes were huge when I was a kid. And those paper fortune teller things where you picked a name and a number and found out who you were going to marry or whether you had cooties.

I didn't realize blocking comedy sites was so common. Though I did use the s-word in there at least once, so I suppose I can understand the need to protect people from such filth.
