Bastard's Notebook

I have three words for this:

FULL. OF. AWESOME.

Two other things.

One: I want this watch. It's blocky, it looks like it came out of the Buck Rogers TV series, and it probably weighs a ton. MUST. HAVE.

Two: I now have in my possession a beta copy of The Cog Wars. Anyone wanna try for a pick-up game next weekish?

I just inherited a 2600.

It's true. My parents found it lying in storage, and dropped it off on their recent visit here. Along with a stack of cartridges. The thing used to work perfectly. At least, it did when it went into storage, I imagine the worst problem it has right now is dust-related if anything, I haven't yet unboxed it to check.

I'm just wondering what to do with the thing. Pick up an RF adapter from somewhere (I'm pretty sure there's no way to connect it to the TV otherwise, since our TV has no antenna out or anything similar.) and go for some all-out old-school gaming? Ebay it? (What's a functioning, original-gen 2600 worth these days?) Shove it into storage to torment my kids with when they're older? I need some opinions here, I think.

So, for those Silent Hill fans out there who didn't catch it when I mentioned the Silent Hill: No Escape project before, there's actually a fairly well done SH fan film out there. Anyways, the guy responsible for No Escape has now also released a BitTorrent containing a DVD_burnable version of the film (with all six parts combined, I'm hoping) for free download. If you like it, definitely throw him some donations for support, simply because fan projects like this need to continue.

Ok, it's on-

Tomorrow.

Silent Hill

Metro Cinema, 12:20 pm. Anyone else in?
