Five things about yourself

[xNiCeGuYx]

- I used to love the Red Hot Chili Peppers (before Frusciante quit)
- I still love John Frusciante
- I love horror movies especially The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies
- I play guitar
- my favorite drink is Gin & Tonic

 

[Tabe]

- I threw a no-hitter as a kid and lost - 3-2
- Atari 2600 was my SECOND home game console
- I played cello in jr high and high school because I had the hots for the neighbor girl. This venture was unsuccessful, in no small part because she was 4 years older and, thus, we never attended the same school at the same time.
- I've seen Foreigner in concert three times, once with each of their lead singers - the one with the original (Lou Gramm) was actually the worst show, despite it being before the health issues that destroyed his voice
- I have (2) Lindsay Lohan songs on my iPod. In my defense, I have hundreds of Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rush, and Eagles songs too.

HA! Gotcha beat there. My dad build a home pong-console according to schematics from a electronics hobby-magazine, we got an off the shelf Monarch after that, and after that a 2nd gen console featuring a primitive racing game actually rather than the ususal pong variaties... the 2600 was my fourth console technically speaking. Loved Keystone Capers and River Raid.
Okay, you could, nerd-wise still counter beat me if that first console was nothing fresher than the odyssee 1 itself.

1. I am a Slurpee addict.

3. If I had to be limited to one food, it'd be pizza.
4. I'm trying to break the habit of double spacing after a period since finding out it's not necessary.
5. I wish I could shoot lightning out of my fingers like the Emperor in Jedi.

I still have most of my old consoles/computers/game systems.
Just been up in the attic, this was my first one...

Closely followed by these...

Also still have...
Sinclair ZX81 1k +ram pack & games.
Sinclair Spectrum 128k+2 & games.
SNES (not working) & carts.
Original gameboy (owned by my sister) & carts.

(.... Discovered beer & girls / slight gap ....) Then (once settled down).

Gameboy Advance & carts.
Original xbox & a lot of games.
A Cybiko & Cybiko extreme (I used to enjoy programming them - emu's).
Wii (the wife's - apart from Mario Cart).
Various PC's & 2 Android phones.
Then since TPA - Xbox360 & Nexus 7.

I'm a fairly minimalist normally, with the one exception of old computers.

 

[Matt McIrvin]

1. I was trained as a particle physicist.
2. I can trace my current career back to a connection I made at a high-school science fair in 1986.
3. The first time I saw They Might Be Giants was on the Flood tour.
4. The old lolcat "SKEPTICAL CAT IS FRAUGHT WITH SKEPTICISM" is a picture I took about ten years ago of my cat Niobe.
5. She is in fact fraught with skepticism.

Hey cool, I had Donkey Kong and Frankenstein, forgot all about Frankenstein!

I got that for a Birthday present when I was about 8ish.
I've got a really cringy photo of me somewhere of me holding Frankenstien, and an album (vinyl) that's too embarrassing to speak of, sat on a bean bag (my presents that year).
I will never tell you of that album - or that I was wearing Nike sweat bands and matching headband in the photo (damn it!).

Nah, it was some four-player pong deal. But you're the first person I've ever come across who could top me when I said the 2600 was my 2nd console

I've got to get to my parents place and destroy that photo now!

 

[Decade360]

Mini-Munchman! I haven't seen one of those for donkey's years. I spent many, many hours of my childhood glued to my Mini-Munchman.

Thanks for the unexpected bout of nostalgia.

I remember I got Zaxxon for Christmas, it had a single lcd-screen but it was multi-level, very cool. http://segaretro.org/Zaxxon_(LCD)

That looks really cool, (nice website too) - I thought the dual screen feature from 1 screen was amazing at the time.

I still play mine occasionally.

Should get an old hardware nostalgia thread going somewhere.
