Randomly rewatched Backdraft. Backdraft rules.

Starting in the late 1960s, Aladdin’s Castle was a very popular arcade chain that grew to over 450 locations at its peak. In 1976, Bally released a pinball machine called Aladdin’s Castle. I don’t have any footage of the arcade but here’s some of the machine. youtu.be/PoIuykslTNM

One console and a nice controller now costs over one thousand dollars.

Yep, there it is.

Well this sucks, it was highly enjoyable.

Everyone is doing this video game grid thing again so here’s mine. Some of the choices are impossible.

So, it makes sense that the color associated with Xbox is green. It sort of makes sense that PlayStation is blue. But why is Nintendo associated with red? Because of Mario’s clothes?

“Two can play at that game” is literally the Drebin quote here when he takes an innocent woman hostage to cluelessly fight the enemy

Going scorched earth is definitely something innocent people do.

Foolishly started a project this weekend and ran out of weekend. Anyway, here’s my work in progress video game corner.

Spent almost a whole afternoon negotiating, oh well, better give up.

There have been some hints recently that this delisted Xbox 360 game might be available again in the future, but as of now the space shooter AEGIS WING is a Game You Can't Buy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Rl...

I just watched this again last week and it’s still a banger. Go see it at the theater.

Only the finest third party video game controllers in this house.

there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes

Just got the urge to watch The Best of Times and again I wonder how that movie has zero relevance these days.

This is where boutique physical media labels are at now, huh?

Escaping the horrors (again) at the local arcade.

I hope they’re headed to a nice home.

Listen, it's my favorite movie so of course whenever I see the Pulp Fiction pinball machine I'm gonna play it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeWH...

"i could probably pilot a ship through the straight of hormuz" -next big thing 80% of men secretly believe about themselves

Thinking back on the time where two local conventions merged into one weekend supershow of video games, pinball and collectables. It ended up killing one of the two shows completely and the venue was then torn down soon after. Still, despite being cursed, it was a great time! 🧵

Two more weeks of who the fuck knows. Great!

A suitable last meal.

Still waiting for one of you “I am going to become the Joker” people to, you know, become the Joker.

My scheduled pinball post for today was some gameplay of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Even though it was scheduled weeks ago, it seems especially relevant today because of *points at everything*. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol2t...

weird juxtaposition where people in power and influence are saying absolutely heinous, deadly things without any restraint of conscience, and everyone reacting to it is having to bite their tongue and speak in euphemisms not to get banned or arrested or whatever

"Congress needs to do something!" skeets member of Congress to an audience of people who are not in Congress.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

It would be really great if there was a group of people who could STOP. ALL. THIS.

The joke’s on AI, those medications are unavailable.

Might be the first truthful thing he’s ever said.

Dusting off my "If today is the last day for Twitter..." posts and replacing "Twitter" with "Bluesky".

good morning

Do any of you use an HDMI switcher that has 10 or more inputs on it? I'm setting up a corner in my house with all my video game consoles and I need recommendations for a good switch.

Ah 1970s New York, famous for being safe and easygoing. I love all those New York 70s movies about how peaceful it was back then.

Unsubscribing from Amazon.

Watched the 42nd Street Forever: Volume 4 trailer collection recently and as always I came away from it with a list of movies to check out. Here's the first, Bob Clark's 1976 revenger BREAKING POINT. letterboxd.com/smarmyjerkfa...
