Didn’t Gizmodo post an article earlier today saying it was the best selling behind Tetris, with Tetris having just under twice as many copies sold?

I was a stockboy at the local grocery store when Orbitz came out. The rep for those drinks visited the store manager in a short dress and we ended up with two pallets worth. I think we sold maybe three bottles.

Like a Dragon’s Goro/Taiga boss fight was such a giant leap in difficulty I just put the game down and never finished. I was getting beat so bad it wasn’t even a challenge I wanted to try. 

Dave’s not here.

What a time to be alive!

Honestly, today I learned Japan has tornados. That’s more shocking to me than him finding the location!

Am I missing something here? $25k to each homeowner and 107 homeowners is ~$2.7M. I guess the lawyers get the rest? 

Port definitely tastes better though.

Technically an emoticon.

I had one of the old Texas Instrument’s cartridge machines. You’d put the cartridge in to run the application and save to cassette deck you connected to it via RCA cables. Wasn’t fancy but made me fall in love with computers and programming some 35 year ago. 

Missed a golden opportunity to misuse posteriority right there.

Surprised I haven’t seen this reference yet.

As a bald man that likes spicy food, my headsweat feels seen.

Aww, “metaling kids” was right there!

I actually would prefer pickle to motorcycle.

Yeah, I call it the “aluminum handcuffs” effect. You can’t leave your service job because you would take a pay cut (plus under the table tip income) to take a non-service industry job.... until there was no work to be had. Anecdotally, I was an interviewer for a tech school that trains folks on full stack development…

Two dots tends to have some levels / mechanics that make passing them almost completely up to luck. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve completed 2 out of 3 objectives for the level to not offer up the piece (dot?) that needs to be cleared to finish the objectives. 

Every phrase they use on Food Network shows that lets you know they graduated from Food Network University. “Ooy-gooey cheese”, “pop of acidity”, pronouncing Italian ingredients in an accent that isn’t otherwise normal for the person, etc. I know they’re just establishing brand but I hate it.

Years of Monopoly play have taught me that a “Bank Error in Your Favor” means you get to keep the money.
