Stuff I found on the internet – November 2, 2006

I have been catching up on a ton of reading over the last couple days. Here are a few articles that I particularly enjoyed.

Kids almost always have their priorities right.

Magic in the Halloween night air. It must have been a good night to take the kids Trick or Treating. First Pookie and Geetle do a great job, then Bud catches his mom without a backup plan for if things went well, a situation I have found myself in a couple times.

School Frustrations. I remember a few of my friends parents really pushing their kids to get better than “C” grades. But really, if that is average, isn’t that what most kids should be getting?

Tired of the modern hyper violent games with the hyper realistic graphics, Nintendo Wii might help you find more appropriate games with the capability of playing several old games from old systems. I might have to buy the new Wii so I can play all the old games I grew up with…with my kids of course.

Just wave your hand to pay for your lunch. If the scanner works as poorly as a the ones at a client I recently worked for, getting through the lunch line could be an all day affair. (Article found via Futurismic)

How About Two? November 3, 2006 at 11:51 am

Save your money on the Wii. Search the net for the old school game you want and you can usually find an emulator.

Or you can go truly old school and pick up an Atari 2600, Intellivision, ColecoVision, NES, Sega, Jaguar, Saturn, PS, or PS2 on eBay for less than a Wii.

I used to love the old Intellivision and NES and Sega. Good stuff. I have an Odyssey. That’s a really cool dinosaur game. I need to find Pick Axe Pete. I really need to get an NES. That’s the system that constantly kept me up until the sun came up.

I don’t really like the whole emulator thing. I like playing console games in front of a real TV instead of a computer monitor. Just part of growing up playing too many hours in front of the TV I suppose. I like the Wii because I can play the old stuff and still get the new stuff. I don’t play enough games these days, so it would probably be closer to Christmas 2007 before I really think about getting one.
