Stingray's cornucopia of pleasant arcade/gaming related thoughts

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. ;)

Not my fault. The server that it's on is as dangerously unreliable as I am.

Thanks guys. :-*

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

Cheers,
KenToad

PS  Need more comforting arcade thoughts.  The woman is giving me that look again.

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. 

Cheers,
KenToad

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.

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.
